You could use ConTiki OS instead. The C64 version isn't as polished as C64 OS, but it's not bad, and it's entirely opensource. Of course it's a bit of abandonware ATM, but it had lots of features: a web browser, an IRC c

Acting in silent movies is entirely different from what came later. That's why most silent stars didn't make it into the "talkie" era. Just like aliens in 60s movies speak English and are obviously people in disguise, yo

I have heaps of mid and late 80s floppies (5.25" and 3.5" DD), and almost all of them work just fine. Until the late 90s, floppies were incredibly sturdy and reliable. Late 2000s HD floppies are crap, OTOH.

We need better representation, and for instance designate Senators from random draw from the voters pool to make it a proposition force. Also we need to dismantle most of the constitutional changes of the past 30 years, which created severa

Yup, I think it's pretty well-known by now that only white, affluent, powerful people doing virtue signalling use "Latinx" for instance, and that this very word is rejected as meaningless, stupid and/or offensive and con

Yes old Leafs are notorious for terrible battery management. The battery overheated on long, rapid trips in summer and gave terrible charge times, too.

Yup. In France Macron hold total power with less than 30% of voters and less than 30% of good opinion in polls. His "pension reform" has everyone against it, the unions, all political parties but his own, even the employers assoc

They're building Teslas in China. Almost all Teslas sold in Europe come from China, because they're of a much better build quality than US-built Teslas.

It's certainly that all UTF-8 characters (like UTF-8 fancy quotes and double-quotes) aren't properly interpreted, everything seems to go through as ISO8859-15.

It works on Chromium though. However it has trouble with UTF-8 obviously: it interprets "é" as "Ã©" i.e. ISO8859-15. I see that for "French" it selects "Alain" as a voice in Chromium, but "Joe&qu
