@mwichary @mihaip Two geniuses working together. I am on a slow internet on the road right now, so I have to work through the rest of it later—the more complicated emulators aren't loading.
I am absolutely gobsmacked by how amazing this is—a new kind of storytelling?

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways? https://aresluna.org/frame-of-preference

@mwichary (editors never stop poking)

I think you’ve invented a new kind of storytelling. Not just embedding the emulator, which is cool and I gather not unique, but the narrative you wrap around it. I love something that can only be told in one medium—to duplicate this article, you can't do anything but create a machine or environment capable of emulation.

@mwichary This is a goddamned tour de force. Congratulations. Incredible.

I quibble with one thing: "outside of the title bar, there is absolutely no text present here.” But do you mean words? Numbers are text in my thinking! As opposed to only symbolic elements.

The last of the 2024 How Comics Were Made are now off—sold as an add-on signed edition to folks who backed my Six Centuries book.

@rick_baumhauer I found the footnote—“occasionally” tripped me up. I think it's actually “routinely" or "regularly." Another reader emailed and said they see this regularly with their 80% charge limit, too!

"In the same broadcast, Quinones said: 'Don’t do business with Indians,' adding: 'We got an app down here that some of the guys at the Alabama Old Glory Club are doing, which is to show which gas stations and hotels are not owned by Indians here.'

Revealed: the far-right, antisemitic men’s club network spreading across US

Old Glory Club has at least 26 chapters with participants including military personnel, lawyers and civil servants

And now we are getting close to having the world‘s first trillionaire. That’s just nuts. Good for you, you won capitalism, and we all forgotten what an 80% marginal tax rate looks like? We had one under a republican president and the world did not end
