It feels really good when you get a system all customized and working smoothly, with all the tools you need, and everything integrating together.
That was how things were for me back in the System 7.5 days. I've never got back to that state, despite trying. That was the peak of computing for me.
I held out as long as I could, and was still developing Linux software using a 7600 running System 7.5 with an X server until 2011.
Sometimes I find myself booting up my System 7.5 VM, since I'm actually finding I'm more productive using that then modern software.
Nothing web-based works there, of course, but perhaps that's part of the reason why I'm more productive.
Plus, I miss it. It was a really comfortable system to use and program for. They had high standards.
The MacOS X Finder is so full of bugs now that it is almost unusable.
It's infuriating how far quality standards have fallen.
And here's the video showcasing the realtime decode
It seems to be a trend for web sites to render perfectly, then a second later replace the contents with a blank screen and some text saying that "something went wrong". Console says something about a regex error.
Javascript was a huge mistake.
One thing that I miss about Twitter back before the muskpocolypse was that you could complain directly to the brand and make a lot of noise and do a little damage to their reputation when they pulled stuff like this.
Big business did *not* like this, and that's one of the reasons why Twitter was not allowed to continue to exist.
