Here’s a non-Medium version[1], since Medium is similarly but completely unrelatedly, a disaster. [1]http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/x-windows/disa

  The original UNIXUX site is very clever, but if the guy who actually wrote it is linking to Medium instead, I’m not sure if we can overrule him.

    No one is getting overruled, you now have one additional choice of links to click on for the same material, free of charge.

      Sadly the unixsux site lost its luster when Netscape disabled the <BLINK>_</BLINK> cursor. http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/login.html http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/login.html Here's my not-so-subtle Solaris joke about how AT&T was ruining Unix: http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/panic.html http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/panic.html

        I mean clearly the blink tag had to go. It was annoying, unsafe, a blight on the web; not at all like CSS3, JavaScript, WebAssembly and whatever that DRM thing was called, encrypted media extensions, was it? Priorities, man! Thanks for coming out, the X Windows Chapter was my favorite in the book. :)
