I've been occasionally helping a blind friend of mine with his PC since 2005. His screenreader talks at about 600wpm or more and after 20 years of practice I can't understand it.
I speedread and can read text faster than his computer's voice -- but not by much. It is very impressive, and very hard to use.
But I am the only sighted person he's met who can use his PC. I navigate Windows mostly by keyboard, and he has no mouse. It slows me down slightly but I can still use it.
(He does have a screen on his family computer, so sighted family and friends can watch films with him. His work one has no screen.)
Dude. You are demonstrating, repeatedly, that you do not know how publishing works, have no idea what the different jobs are and why they are different. You display shock and anger at the notion that different people have different roles in which they do different work. This offends you for some demented reason that I do not care about, and you are repeatedly attacking it with insults and invective -- and then when I point this out to you, you are hurt and offended.
This is how the job is done, and there are good reasons, and it works. Since you are a random angry shouty man with a made-up name on the internet, I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you, as you will just shout insults at me from behind your silly offensive pseudonym.
You don't understand and it is very clear that you don't want to. You prefer to hide behind a made up name and throw insults.
As I understand it, Hatari is mainly aimed at running classic ST games. I think its emulation core was the basis of the Amiga PiStorm and similar projects.
There's another all-software ST emulator out there called Aranym:
Aranym is aimed at running ST GEM as well as possible on modern machines, for productivity apps and so on -- so it sacrifices absolute hardware compatibility in favour of performance and features like high screen resolutions.
I would love to see a bare-metal Raspberry Pi version of Aranym, to turn a spare Pi into the fastest maxed-out Atari TT030 ever. :-)
The problem here is your lack of understanding, and also your hostile confrontational attitude... and in addition, apparently, poor reading comprehension.
I am a reporter; I write the articles. The editors write the headlines. That is how most publications work: it is completely normal and plain and standard.
I've been both a reporter and an editor, and in some roles, combined both. I have done paid writing for nearly 20 different publications in Britain, Europe, America, and Australia, starting in 1995. This is standard industry practice.
Never heard of that one before, so I looked it up & watched a demo vid.
Aieeee!
I don't think I could ever learn to use that. I am from the 1990s fast-T9 entry era, and my thumb dexterity is poor. (And I'm left-handed with a badly-damaged right hand.)
I think this is a text entry method solely or primarily for the 2-thumb console-gamepad generation. (I find gamepads really hard to use, too. Give me a joystick, or mouse+WASD.)
Yes, I have one too. Mine has an external HDD and between the 3 of them it triple-booted OS X, the last PowerPC Ubuntu, and MorphOS.
TBH neither Ubuntu nor MorphOS was a patch on OS X, IMHO. Never re-set the machine up after emigrating in 2014.
But now, I badly want to get MacOS 9 running on it.... Sadly the machine is in my basement in another country, 1000 miles away, though.
Last time I was there, I managed with great effort to find my iBook G4. It runs fine. But it needs a new reed switch and the replacement process looks horrendous...
(And for the implicit acknowledgement that, as a mere reporter, I don't have much influence over the headlines at all, and most often the editors don't use my proposed headline, subhead, or often intro paragraph.)
FWIW, as someone who is not in the phone OS development world at all but has been reviewing phones with alternative OSes for about the last 4 years...
My impression is that everyone else in the phone-OS and deGoogled-Android world hates the GrapheneOS folks, and it's mutual. They seem to be borderline impossible to work with, very arrogant and protectionist, and the project's own support lifetime is "when Google no longer supports your phone, we don't either."
Personally, I'd choose something else. Anything else, in fact.
WP6.2 on DOS on a 21st century machine screams along. I run it occasionally under IBM PC DOS 7.1 (the FAT32-capable version) on bare metal and it's wonderfully rapid.
