I try, but it's much harder these days if you don't rehearse your pitches. Maybe I'm cursed?

It won't deceive me, I went to one of Canada's top business schools and got really good grades.

Love the idea, but in reality this is a heavy AI-assisted project riddled with weird graphical issues that completely detract from the experience. It's less a window manager, and more akin to a mid-90's CD-ROM puzzle game. For instance having to turn a key to allow shutting down your machine is a cute idea but the key turn animation plays inconsistently, meaning the state of some of the buttons isn't always obvious.

For context I'm sleep deprived so sorry if I've missed something obvious, but what differentiates this with something like Fastmail's masked email offering? I use unique emails for every service I use and it works beautifully. This seems... more complicated? I under there's a price difference, but little else.

An absolute titan, a true pioneer. RIP.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I finally got round to this to see what the fuss was about, and was very disappointed. Oblique to the point of baffling and unlikable characters aplenty.

Maybe related, but is anyone familiar with a series of trading terminals from BT in the UK? I cut my teeth in circuitry repair working on these models like the 405 and 405i in the early 2000s. These days I can't find hide nor hair that these things ever existed! Any time there's an article that mentions the Bloomberg terminal I always have dig around for this mythical series of trading platforms, alas I now worry my memory is playing tricks on me.

Couldn't agree more. It gets dismissed as nostalgia but the imagination is a wonderful thing for filling the "gaps" in graphical fidelity.

What a horrible thing this is.

There's a mistake towards the end where an image of Rachel Whiteread's set is credited to Damien Hirst. Was this AI-built? If so then I'd worry about other errors.

I hate this. Of course it's your property, you do what you want with it. Do your own illustrations, annotate with abandon, get out the red pen for editing practise... But for me, I love nothing more than reading a book so big that I practically live in it.

You've reminded me of a story from the Witcher 3 devs where during an earlier build items would randomly disappear. Horses, weapons, tankards, even NPCs... you name it, on certain conditions they would vanish before the player's eyes. Turns out they weren't just disappearing, they were "teleporting" by effectively respawning at a single point in the dead centre of the map. When they investigated the location there was an innocuous looking dwelling that was packed to the rafters with all the vanished assets. Spending too long in the place would crash the game, presumably because the collection detection on that number of cheeses, sheep, and grunting Nilfgaardian soldiers was just too much.
