I've only dabbled in Gemini so I don't know their names off the top of my head, but I tried out a number of GUI Gemini browsers in the past, and they're quite nice. Easy on the eyes, simple design, all the variable width fonts you could ask for if that's your bag.
You joke, but I honestly wonder if this period and projects didn't involve a bunch of Microsoft employees who got a little overexcited when they were told that they didn't need to maintain the insane, sometimes bug-for-bug, compatibility layers with 20-40 year old software that they had had to deal with their entire career there.
Must have felt incredibly liberating, and maybe they got a little too into the whole idea of "fresh start"(s).
I read the article like the 90% of readers read it.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
The article contains the information only a few paragraphs in. It leads with the information that is actually news and is what the headline is about. You might wish every article starts with a genuflection to any and all relevant Kremlin talking points, but I think a few paragraphs in is certainly not burying it let alone not mentioning it, and you don't have a serious leg to stand on here.
I'm one of those sick, sad puppies that enjoys Excel shenanigans. Haven't been able to trst it out since I'm on my phone, but screenshots look promising, I look forward to trying it out.
Wow. Thanks for the heads up on DVD Decrypter being harder to get these days. I had no idea. When I return home I'm going to have the sift through all my old files and see if I still have a copy somewhere. Great little piece of software.
The Wikipedia article about it has a link to an unofficial mirror that appears to be hosting a copy of the installer of the last release of the program, from 2005.
I bet that somehow you can make ImgBurn (the successor) include the old features (e.g. by setting a hidden key in the environment variables or something).
If not, the code was probably patched out in the build process...
Currently reading through Robert Fagles' translation of the Odyssey - a superb page turner, though my father would say lacking compared to some of the older, less approachable translations - and it has a great breakdown in the opening notes of the various academic zeitgeists for understanding the composition of the poems, in particular these constructions - I belive written by Bernard Knox.
Would reproduce it here, but it's long, and obviously still under copyright. However if this post piques anybody's interest, you should be able to find a copy.... wherever copies may be found... and I highly recommend checking it out, if just for the relevant intro, if not for the translation - which I personally do rate.
I believe this post adds an interesting angle to the discussion that isn't particularly explored in the introduction to Fagles, but the Fagles introduction adds a lot of Academic-Historical context to how these literary techniques have interacted with Academic trends at various times to inform people's understanding of the pieces.
Together with the OP, the two make for great reading.
Every time I read stuff from the Dolphin crew I'm totally blown away by not just the ingenuity but the attention to detail and care for what they are doing. They are the absolute North Star of emulators. Everyone should at least aspire to conduct themselves the way this lot do.
The anti-Diet-Coke push has stooped to new lows. I will _NOT_ drink 'Coke No Sugar' (or whatever they'recalling it now), you will _NOT_ triumph over me.
