  1. 1- Yes, these times aren't entertaining to me. 2- Yes, I already know that we dress according to the weather. Also, something new like what exactly? And as for the weather part, I am sad because it's the reason I was unable to go outside. I am not asleep though, I am awake. Well, I am not relaxed with living in my country, I wish to get out of it ASAP (you wouldn't really want to know how worse my country has went over the years), and stay in your country France, I will then feel better by a lot, and I mean, A LOT. Well, thank you for the hopes, but, you shouldn't also feel pessimistic. 1- So do I. 2- Same here.

  3. ... Which was the exact point I raised earlier... AFAIAA, roytam1 has not (yet?) submitted any PR upstream, nor do I know whether he has any inclination to do so in the future ... And whether such an eventual PR relates to common code (between "our" UXP-fork and the "upstream" platform) or not, "upstream" do mandate that all issues & PRs submitted to their repo have been reproduced/tested on their "approved" application(s)... Some years ago, when MCP hosted their repos on GitHub, I had directly filed there a few issues discovered in NM28, with the note "I expect them to be 100% reproducible in PM, too"... All Moonchild had to do was try my STR in "his" browser; instead, I was frowned upon, my report disregarded, until I provide actual proof of the issue on PM itself ... I couldn't run PM in my OS of choice, so I then gave up ...

  4. ... While I am notoriously "famous" here for writing (and posting!) lengthy and detailed analyses, especially in the past, time constraints induced by RL (AstroSkipper: Real Life ) meant that often now I have to convey the info I want by referencing related link(s) - the info is there, just "not in my very own words" ...

  5. By the way, in defense of those who don't click through on every link posted in this thread.... One of my pet peeves is people who write posts with little or nothing besides a link. (Not saying that was done in this case; just making a general point.) The point of linking (indeed, the World Wide Web itself) is to provide further information for those who need or want more detail. Obviously it's a judgement call, but try not to let links become a substitute for conveying the basics - put that much info, at least, in your post itself! Of course, if MSFN could "unfurl" links to sites other than MSFN itself, thus providing a preview when warranted, that would help a lot.

  6. Since I don't get over here all that often these days, when I first read "When PH stops working," my first thought was ProofHub, a developer's site I have to use at work - which actually did stop working with the Christmas Eve update! Then I read further, and without clicking on any links except the erroneous Wikipedia article (which didn't make sense - in context, PH was obviously a Web site, not that 0-14 number that tells you how sour or bitter your solution will taste) I remembered the PM forum thread (which I had, indeed, read). Then I wondered, why the abbreviation PH, but not the abbreviation YT? As @VistaLover pointed out, porn is one of the most common uses of the World Wide Web - nothing to be ashamed of! Absolutely true, but not an answer to the question. Nothing @roytam1 is doing is holding MC back. There's no reason for hostility now that MAT has left. Indeed, since @feodor2 has shown (with MyPal 68) that it's possible for the Rust compiler to target XP, there's no reason XP and Vista can't have a version of, say, Waterfox Classic. You know, the browser that supports both legacy and WE add-ons. (That said, I don't know if Waterfox Classic has kept up with all the JavaScript enhancements MCP has incorporated into UXP lately, so UXP may still be the best non-Chrome-based choice for XP/Vista users.) the site opens in 12 seconds versus 16 seconds with a user agent from Firefox 60. There's probably a logical (albeit obscure) reason for this behavior, but if one were a bit paranoid, (s)he might think YouTube was deliberately slowing itself down on non-Chrome-based browsers! (Trying to be careful here to avoid being flamed again)

  8. ... All's good! However, looking back at all this, the "decision" of one member here to "shorten" (in order to "sanitise") a reference to a, otherwise popular , website has led to so many additional posts by other members here, including me, that only remotely (if at all) touch the subject of this thread ... Posts "exploded" to all aspects of human endeavour, i.e. natural sciences, history, linguistics, particular aspects of specific languages, education, Roman numerals, coins, ethics/morality, psychic health, addictions, human relationships/[pre-]sex, anything else I neglected? Even suggestions to not "avalanche" to further OT posts were disregarded, it appears... Each and every one of the above is a very interesting topic to converse about , however I humbly think here is not the most appropriate "place"; I, as much as anybody, can live with "a few" OT comments among a majority of posts with substance/relevance to the main subject(s) discussed in a dedicated thread; more than "a few" and I picture "trains de-railed" ... At the same time, some members here wonder why "these" threads reach so quickly the 200-page threshold ... (I'm also subscribed to these threads via e-mail notifications, "OT" posts also cram my inbox (and disk space, as I use a dedicated client, not webmail), so even more personal time needed to devote on sorting out the "valuable" from the "OT" e-mails...) Again, this is only my personal view on things, I don't expect all the rest to abide by it, but I'm entitled to it, aren't I? (NB: Don't do it; don't start another "OT avalanche" due to this post of mine; "reactions" (positive, only) are there for a reason.)

  20. Eventually, but not yet. I won't be surprised if we don't see a Windows 11 LTSC release until at least 2024. I'm not sure if Microsoft has Windows 11 is a stable enough position to pull the trigger on an LTSC release yet.

  22. I held back as I haven't a clue how comfortable folks here are about those themes. I guess it's irrational since they could see right away if they followed the link. Is there still hostility between Moonchild and roytam1? I meant to refer to the fact that they couldn't cooperate in the same way Moonchild cooperates with other developers since Moonchild wouldn't want the platform to cater to the lowest common denominator. I do agree there's no harm in roy doing his own thing. I don't follow closely so I've no idea if roytam1 sometimes also makes pull requests to the upstream when it come to common, not platform-specific code.

  25. One more thing I forgot. Get a disk with spare capacity. Then you can write more to it before it slows down. If you think you will ever fill your disk to 200 GB, buy 512 GB. Basic SSDs are now affordable.

  27. @mina7601 Should've figured... I think it wasn't meant to be taken as seriously. I'll take some silly and ridiculous over vileness and hostility that has been appearing throughout the world and history. This person I mentioned, we used to chat every day. Now it's just history. Was about your age then. Continuing... ...this was one of a kind thing that happened once and it seems it won't happen again. Personal interactions with others...is a mystery to me...how you start it, what you say, how to keep it going...I mean it happened ONCE that I seem to have got it right...but that was then, the combination of circumstances that just happened to work I guess...these days I doubt my understanding of definition of "friendship". Just a thought about these online-only interactions...I think they work for exchanging ideas and such, but at least to me, this artificial layer between us just doesn't feel right, even though some say they have online friends. I'm the last guy to ask for advice on these matters, but on feeling bad about disappointing others and such, if it's any consolation, some of us out there may have bizarre mental brakes (or anxieties, if you will) and may not know how to respond in certain cases.

  30. I consider myself more of a generalist. My subjects of study were mathematics, biology and Latin. So I am on both sides of the force. Linguistic skills are particularly useful in the natural sciences to gain clarity and to adequately formulate insights gained. In any case, I am very concerned about the impoverishment of the German language, especially among our youth, which is also caused, among other things, by the constant use of Anglicisms. And I have deliberately not abbreviated "by the way" this time to make a small point. But as I already said, we are moving too far away from the topic here and are unfortunately off-topic.

I'm on the side of natural sciences - but also with some interest for human sciences, I don't support any kind of war between the two of them (the only exception is business studies / BWL ). As you may know notations in natural sciences are mainly based on Greek or Latin and in my opinion it's not a bad idea, else this would have been replaced decades ago. English and German are within the same language family (West Germanic languages) and therefor they are very near and it's really easy to adopt words and phrases. Both languages have many words with the same origin and you can often guess the meaning of a word you don't know yet. There are more similarities then with Romance languages. And yes, both took a lot of words and stuff from Latin and Greek because ancient Greece and the Roman Empire are the basis of today's Western world (including moral values and imperialism - two sides of the same coin). The world is a complex place and the more we interact globally, the more the (living) languages will change. Remind, there are also German words in English like kindergarten (not "children garden"), iceberg (not "ice mountain"), rucksack, Blitzkrieg (Metallica...) or Dollar (from German "Taler" -> Czech/Slovak/Slovenian "Tolar", see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar#Etymology, BTW I'm also very interested in numismatics [including ancient Roman coins]). While speaking of coins... Did you know, it was common to write "IIII" instead of "IV" on coins in medieval times? Somewhere I read US English is just a collection of spelling mistakes*. Remind, the USA aren't "god's own country" - they were built up by people from some/many European countries centuries ago. It's mainly English, but mixed up with other languages, so where's the problem when things bounce back to Europe? *finally retrieved and quoted from https://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3945052.htm (great forums! ): BTW in every message board (especially English speaking) you can abbreviate "by the way" with "BTW". There are several reasons to abbreviate, f.e. back then in the early days of the Internet (especially pre-WWW) memory, space and time were a scarce resource and made it into what we call "Internet slang" today. Oh..."BTW" reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfyjwChuNU (Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way, great band from the USA). kind regards soggi

  33. The best tool I've found is MSMG Toolkit, although even after it removes telemetry and other components, Windows 11 will still phone home and install updates that put you back to square one, especially if you use Edge Browser or update the OS. For that reason don't go online until you've installed a good firewall, if you do use MSMG Toolkit or any of the other alternatives suggested in this thread.

  42. My progress is really slow at the moment, but I do not give up (yet). The to do list on the previous page of open thing is getting a little smaller. I changed from Virtual Box to VMware for development. I can test in Windows ME now without having to use a real PC for it (Win9x on Virtual Box is terrible). But on shutdown the WinME VM hangs. Working: JavaScript alert, input, prompt, onunload, etc. handlers natively on frontend Working: File downloads in native IE downloader (goes via a small and super fast proxy that streams the download to IE while Chromium engine is still downloading it) Working: Find in page in native classic Windows search box + Chrome style hiliting Working: Basic/Digest authentication with encrypted password saving on local system Fun fact: Modern browsers fail the ACID3 test. Currently working on file uploads.
