News, Information & Feedback / Re: Thoughts on the future of Mac OS 9 Lives
« Last post by Protools5LEGuy on Yesterday at 06:53:42 PM »
I like that downloads are accesible again thru an Mac OS 9 machine. I could still download them from Windows or Mac OS X before, but for a purist user with only a Mac OS 9 machine (are you really that offuscated?) was a plus.

I understand that youtube links "break" compatibility with OS 9 browsers, but the forum was clearly richer and more visual when we had youtube links in screen. And the videos were clickable/watchable within the forum.

More than 10 "rich" post from me have been ruined (or screwed) with this "you have a Mac OS 9 browsable"post policy. There should be a place where youtube links and mini player are allowed.

I browse the forum 60 percent on my smartphone, 30 percent on a windows machine and 9 percent on Mac OS X. Only browse it on 9  to download attachments from post that I am afraid of it loose its fork.

Ditching youtube videos has made the forum some steps backward IMHO.

We could put a flag (Youtube Content) or something similar for the user that is running Mac OS 9 to not click in. Or make a zone where YT links are full and allowed.

Another good motive for implementing the like button is that all users are less prone to receive a meme from me as answer

I'm a fan of the Like button too. I don't often have a lot of time to write out responses to everything I read, but for posts that I've found helpful it's a nice and easy way to acknowledge the poster.

Society is moving in the wrong direction anyway. "Buttons" are part of this. Interaction, the human element in general, is already too often reduced to "being liked" or not – with a simple click. I consider this "self-expression", the  reduction to feelings, to be really harmful. There should be no place for ratings in a forum like this. Good conversations and appreciative interaction will not come about through evaluations and a supposedly increased sense of self-worth ascribed by others. I find buttons seriously socio-politically dangerous and have therefore never used them. I would be delighted if the forum could do without them again in future.

A like button or flag doesnt mean evaluation in general.

As a moderator I had readed ALL the forum twice. First time without the Like flag sorting everything as DieHard requested. And after that spent weeks giving likes to every post that were useful, leads to something or is innovative in its info or informative in a good way.

I would be terrible dissapointed if the like button isnt implemented again. Knezzen promised that would try to implement it almost since the begining of my cry. And now ask for your validation.

I beg every user that sees the like button as the evil to consider just Ignore the button if you consider it harmfull (to you).

There is no "Dislike" button. I would consider it harmfull. But a Like flag here doesnt mean the same harmfull thing that on FB or Insta.

Please try to see the like button with new Eyes and without toxic connotations

On the other hand, having "Like" button and at the same time having no likes below your post is even more demotivating - why post if nobody likes it? Keep the information for yourself and your mouth shut. Or better go elsewhere..  ;)

If I had a "working" Like button...

 proper manners and making an intelligent question or curious discovery ensures a like from 3 or 4 users within hours.

You have to really screw a conversation to have no likes.

adding banner to the nvramrc script stops the normal boot from doing probe-all install-console banner.

If you were using serial port instead of a non-built-in PCI graphics card for the input/output-device, then you could do install-console first, then add some logging like this:

Code: [Select]
install-console
dev / ls device-end
." [ probe-all"
probe-all
." ] probe-all"
dev / ls device-end
." [ banner"
banner
." ] banner"

The example above will list the devices before and after probe-all

If you're stuck using the screen for input/output, then maybe this will work:

Code: [Select]
dev / ls device-end
." [ probe-all"
probe-all
." ] probe-all"
install-console
dev / ls device-end
." [ banner"
banner
." ] banner"

The logging that happens before install-console is buffered until the console is installed, then the buffered logging is output.

If it doesn't like buffering all that logging, then remove it.
Code: [Select]
probe-all
install-console
dev / ls device-end
." [ banner"
banner
." ] banner"

Basically, you can log each of your commands so that you can find out which one is causing the messages.

You can use one of these commands to view the built-in Open Firmware boot log:
Code: [Select]
.time-stamps
.time-stamps\
