The general problem with "racism" online is that people tend to use the word for things that they don't like hearing. E.g. there is an issue of some sort, let's say unemployment caused by subsidized temporary foreign wor

"Cool Reader GL" is good. Has a lovely page curl animation, etc. It's old though, and hasn't been updated in many years now but it still works fine. I like it because it's very customizable and has fine control of f

I agree 100% with this advice about not spraying them with fragrances. It's an issue for me because that stuff really lingers and is unpleasant. I am experiencing this issue with Amazon deliveries in Canada. When covid happened, they s

Bitmaps are great in terminal windows, but for apps like browsers where they can't be used easily, that's still fine because you can work around it. Simply turn off anti-aliasing, and use a period-specific font that was designed f
