I played through a bit of Riven within the last few years, for the first time since I was a kid. I don't think I would've gotten anywhere if I hadn't been writing things down on paper. It feels more like cultural anthropology

The current ntfs3 driver is developed by a company called Paragon, and it's been part of the kernel since 5.15 or so. I was going to add some additional comments about this, but then I found that Paragon's website has an FAQ that
