Project of the day (day 2) 2023, Thursday, August 24th

#WacOS : https://github.com/seanpm2001/WacOS

WacOS is an operating system project that aims to allow the look, feel, and functionality of all #Apple operating systems and bundled software (including, but not limited to: System 1-6, Classic #MacOS, Mac OS X, OS X, MacOS (modern), #iPhoneOS, #iOS, #iPadOS, #NewtonOS, S.O.S, GS/OS, #tvOS, #NeXTSTEP, #watchOS, #Siri, #MacPaint, #MacWrite, etc.) in an open-source, and unrestricted way.

WacOS is also a dual-kernel operating system, which utilizes both the #Linux Kernel and the #Darwin Kernel.

It is a major project, with over a hundred repositories, but it isn't functional yet. It is also my second most popular project (as of 2023, Thursday, August 24th) with 41 stars. It is a major endeavor, and needs some love. It is written in over 50 different programming languages, due to its complexity and its scale. Anyone who is interested can start a discussion, raise an issue, or send a pull request.

Tambien he puesto a bailar durante este finde un eMate 300, salió tremendamente barato en wallapop, no encendia. Tenia un diodo de protección quemado, seguramente alguien le metió voltaje del reves y el pobrete diodo acometió morisión.

27 years ago, Developers Demonstrate Strength of New Newton 2.0

"The outstanding support from the developer community is a testament to the strength of the Newton platform," said Sandy Benett, acting vice president of the Newton Systems Group. "With the Newton 2.0 operating system, we offer developers a powerful platform on which to quickly and easily develop commercial and custom software applications. The past two years in the PDA market have enabled Apple to better understand and meet developers' needs with a flexible, more productive development environment as well as higher level tools. We anticipate that these advances will extend the breadth and depth of applications available on the Newton platform."

@eggfreckles i love the #NewtonOS look :) sadly it scales not right on my mobiles... Still a great retro style which reminds me that i need need to look for a battery cage for my old 2100 every time i visit your blog xD not a easy task these days in europe...

Came across this #NewtonOS emulator on LinkedIn of all places. I used to love the Newton and the OS, and I can relive that now with #Einstein. #Apple #Newton #emulation
