WordPerfect is still quite awesome, given that it has Reveal Codes. However, the older I am, the more I grow to like WordStar (and its free clone).

I did. TinyMCE is still less comfy to use in my opinion. Of course, that’s probably a matter of taste. Also, I wonder when Automattic will stop supporting it.

How would a hacker even notice the difference between a Linux server and.a Linux desktop? Those are the same thing.

Gee, I wonder whether it’s possible to have zero-day exploits on Linux and 7-Zip.

It depends. The RAR5 format used by newer WinRAR versions (the “old” one is still supported just well) can have smaller archives than 7z, but the opposite is also true. Still, yes, WinRAR is in my experience faster and more stable.

(Note that “as small as possible” is not usually the most relevant point. The best compression is currently reached with the ZPAQ format, but using it with maximum compression settings is painfully slow.)

I even own legitimate Total Commander and mIRC licenses!

Also true. I was probably too impatient when I bought a WinRAR license over night. But now I have it and I use it. :-)

I have. The point is that there is no software without vulnerabilities.

It is. Coincidentally, security was one of the reasons to uninstall 7-Zip.

I use WinRAR (as a switch from 7-Zip) because it works well enough, is fast and stable and has good compression. For me, switching to another Windows archiver would have no merit.

I do not use emojis.

Which I had not heard of before, so it was even insightful.

As much as I loathe having to reveal this to you, the shapeliness of the hands should be semi-negligible to most people who would love to have an image created from the statement “I want to see Billie Eilish’s boobs”.

I’ve never found any reference material to confirm/deny.

It is incredibly hard to find mid-70s technical documentation on weird niche software like TECO Emacs. I mean, all of Emacs’s founders are still around as far as I know, so there might be a chance to find someone on the GNU Emacs mailing lists who knows how to reach out to them. While early Unix history is preserved rather well (thanks to Doug McIlroy and Dennis Ritchie who kept quite an archive, it seems), pre-Unix history predates public interest.

I have never asked myself when exactly the Emacsen had grown said capability. Now I’m intrigued myself!

You do know that Mozilla is basically part of “the rich”?

Ah, I see. None then! Sorry.

Ha! I am currently subscribed to 357 RSS/Atom feeds, at least some of which are English-speaking and technology-related. However, “tech” is a too broad term to give good recommendations.
