Juanitos – “The Smoking Sound” ↗
yesterday, someone on Mastodon asked about Plan 9 and one of the responses talked about its puritanism – along with some of my other comparisons, I see it as yet another divide between the ivory tower and the people – the ivory tower of mainframes and mini-computers and UNIX (in all caps) and BSD and Plan 9 and 9front and LISP machines – whereas regular people were using microcomputers, Apple IIs and Commodores and TRS-80s and BASIC (and sometimes Pascal) and CP/M and MS-DOS and GEM and Macintosh and Windows and Linux
For me the vibe is asceticism - like it’s the hair shirt and self flagellation of operating systems
