Firefox "Reader View" works nicely on that site. I assume there is something similar for Chrome if that's what you're using.

Was quite an interesting article, enjoyed it. But I must be daft, because I don't understand how the title relates to the article. From the title, I had assumed that the source code to TASC had somehow been recently recovered.

None of that has anything to do with my question, though. It doesn't matter what his motivations are. The question is, what law or regulation has he violated? On what basis can the SEC go after him, specifically?

I don't know how it compares, but many of the retro computer channels on Youtube (Such as Adrians Digital Basement) use and speak highly of the RetroTink 2X($130) or 5X($300) pro: https://www.retrotink.com/product-page&

That was a very interesting read for sure. This part was especially eye-opening: "... it not only works without write permissions, it also works with immutable files, on read-only btrfs snapshots and on read-only mounts (including CD-R

That's between them and their suppliers. They should have picked better suppliers who didn't put them into the position they now find themselves.

If you're moving to Fedora then Gnome really is the path of least resistance, and highest level of integration and support. But you can make KDE work, or even use a tiling WM like Sway and customize it to your taste. In any case, you
