Sad news. Really.

I'm still glad that NetSurf exists.

They still don't unlock iPhones for the government. But please, by all means, enjoy your next U.S. ecosystem.

I wish it would support more VCSs.

When LibreOffice appeared on the stage, that was actually my first test back then: opening an existing ODT document I had written. It was already displayed incorrectly at the time.

LibreOffice can't properly render ODT files created with OpenOffice-before-Oracle. I highly doubt their DOCX support is any better.

It is calming to see that in the end, WordPerfect Office outlived Microsoft Office.

I agree.

CDE being heavier is probably mostly caused by its large functionality. After all, NsCDE is mostly an FVWM colour scheme, while CDE comes with all the bells and whistles.

Still my favourite Unix desktop. Thank you for the notice!

NetBSD and OpenBSD support “old” hardware notably longer than Linux does though. OpenBSD having dropped the VAX is not that long ago.

I upgraded my OpenBSD machines a few hours ago, and I'm still not entirely sure whether I notice any obvious TCP speed improvement. Then again, they're not really high-load computers. Maybe people with a higher throughput will be amazed.

FreeBSD is not really curious about being as portable as possible, I think. And it is somewhat larger, indeed, so it's not quite as easy to support more platforms.

That might well be the case here. No, I don't try to win arguments on the internet. :-) Thank you.

Just two posts above this one, you claimed that downloading a different ocas binary would probably work. So ocicl does not only work on Linux, right?

Optionally. WSL2 is not (installed and) activated by default.

I wrote none of my Lisp tools on Linux, and I never received a Linux-related bug report for those. I wonder where I can find numbers on that.

> look.

I did look - at the README of the linked site, which clearly states:

> ocicl (...) only works on Linux

I don't see a reason why the author(s) of ocicle should lie to me. (If they do: even worse.)

> Linux is not a niche in the target market for this project.
