You are probably right but man, isn't this so very disillusioning? I am a bit in such a hole you mentioned and thinking about how to get out of it best - one of my ideas/hopes was to find more "sexy" projects at some poi

That is true in some way but the original decision to shut them down was taken about 20 years ago by the left red/green government. Merkels convernment initially decided to keep them running longer but took a 180 after Fukushima, proba

This ^. Its remarkable how well thought out and consistent the UI was. Been here since Win3.0 and the Win95/NT4/Win2k UI, more or less up to Windows 7 is really good even if certainly some things could be improved. Starting with 8

And, fun fact, these old(er) dialogs are still often better/easier to understand than the new ones. This may be partially nostalgia speaking but I really dislike the new settings and would like to have kept Windows 7 style control pane

I still remember young, in this regard surprisingly clueless me being soo excited when moving to my first PC (some 486) with a Soundblaster clone, coming from an Amiga 500. The ad said something about 22 voices, how cool would that be (as t

Funny enough I have the opposite opinion regarding twitter: If I use it in timeline mode I have the urge to read through all of it until where I stopped last time as the OP described (same with my Feedly RSS feed) In algorithm mode its more

Offtopic regarding [1] I just love these websites which mimic the Amiga UI or at least show the mouse pointer, instant nostalgia kick. For example also the amigalove forum.

This so much, the Mac touchpad is almost perfect, still no other manufacturer can compete, its really night and day. With all other systems I immediately switch to a mouse if possible. It was actually perfect in my 2015 MBP, now its a tad t

This. It has been that way as long as I am working in the field and over the years I have grown so tired of it (probably a sign of burnout). I am at your 20/20 stage as well, so might be the mid-career-crisis or something.

Thats just wrong. There are more than enough healthy humans for which it is much more than just a bad cold, which end up in the ICU eventually. To my understanding it is not possible to know upfront who is such a human and who is not, even

But you need to differentiate this by age group. Chance of dying of Covid is not 100x to 1000x times higher for the age group affected by the CVT so I can understand every caution here. Its not correct to compare/mix the different age

IMHO the best emulation so far is the FPGASID ( http://www.fpgasid.de/ ). There are a number of YouTube videos where it is compared against the originals.
