Or better yet, revive Windows 7 and consider open-sourcing it.

Die gute Tat des Tages

Die Frau Nachbarin, eine Rentnerin, hat einen Rentnerlaptop (nicht speziell für alte Leute, aber er ist halt alt) und der hatte bis heute noch mit Windows 10 und seinem Legacy-Dasein zu kämpfen. Schließlich waren da noch Downloads von Windows 7 drauf (Firefox 4.0).

Ich möchte also wirklich nicht wissen, was der schon alles mitgemacht hat. Ihr wisst schon, was jetzt kommt - er hat keine Möglichkeit, Windows 11 zu empfangen. Mal abgesehen davon, dass sie eh keine Lust mehr hatte, sich von Microsoft überwachen zu lassen.

Machen wir’s kurz: Linux Mint hat jetzt eine Nutzerin mehr. Jetzt ist ihr System wieder schnell.

Hab gerade im Keller noch ein paar alte Heft-CDs aus der GameStar gefunden, u.a. diese hier aus 2004 mit einer Vollversion des DLH98. Im Original noch gedacht für Windows 98, 2000 oder XP, läuft das Programm bei mir nun in einer Windows 7 VirtualBox unter Windows 11. Retro und so. 😁

For StyleStar the Frutiger Aero forum designed some 88x31 size web banner buttons designs.

In 2024, GMail discontinued their Basic HTML layout. Why? I have no idea. They were probably using the same lack of logic that Youtube used in 2017, when they shut down their mobile site, and that Facebook used in 2024, when they shut down their Basic Mobile site. After all, why keep something that's easy, uncluttered, and that actually works, both with and without screen readers? I absolutely hated GMail's Standard site, and switched to Thunderbird 102 (I still prefer that version) because of it, though I hadn't used an e-mail client since 2006. After being forced to use their main site to fix something the other day, I began looking for another e-mail provider with a basic/plain html version. I found it in Yahoo Mail! I had actually signed up for an account with them in 2023 but never really used it. Tonight, I reactivated my account and tried it. It's wonderful! Note: Basic Yahoo Mail is not the same as Old Yahoo. I had to switch to Old and then go to Basic from there. However, you may be able to access it by going here.

PS. I know that some other blind people use regular GMail, but quite honestly, I don't care. I shouldn't have to learn a whole new set of commands just to access my e-mail and have to deal with a million features that I don't need. One of my mottos is don't fix what's not broken. Oh, and to my Windows XP and 7 friends, Basic Yahoo Mail works there, too.

I sometimes talk about Linux but rarely about #Windows here, so here is an old screenshot of my #Windows7 install, dated 17th Nov, 2017.
I've taken this screenshot because there is a bug shown.
