OS/2 comes to mind. Version 1.x was already much more sophisticated than MS-DOS.

TBH I never had that problem on the 9360 (in over 2 years) - YMMV. Knock on wood though as I had to replace the battery and the AC adapter died.

Yep, you need a new battery. Getting one from Dell is harder than actually replacing it. USB-C as a power connector work great when the proprietary power supply die as you are wait…

Why would that be on the list? Isn't there already a solution? It doesn't need to be GPL licensed for getting FSF recognition - a non copyleft but Libre license is fine.

Does that include open source code for ALL the hardware?

For starter you could restrict the autoplay the next video only if it is the same element.

But then Chrome and Youtube come from the same company. Maybe they should coordinate.

There is a disable autoplay in Firefox as a hidden pref. Enabling it break YouTube (offender number 1) and Vimeo. Vimeo's take is that it is a bug in the browser hence it should be…

This is why Firefox download the CISCO binaries at startup... Can't have nice things.

My approach is not to throw away. The changes are incremental and definitely the spirit of the original code is here.

Nope. ClarisWord never existed — ClarisWorks was the product. Claris had MacWrite II for a time because they were the software spin-off from Apple, and that was their stand alone w…

128KB binary. All written in assembly.

I was in that group. There is so much that can be done just like that. And Abi as a company was long gone by that time.

I think the OP meant "on Windows".

You know it is hard to order people to do something when they aren't paid. Even project like OpenOffice.org that had commercial venture had hardship with funding. Oracle cancelled …

There is definitely lots of improvement to do in that area for AbiWord. There is a long list of bugs from every side.

Porting to iOS would be easier than to Android. Because on iOS we can simply write the UI code in Objective-C++. On Android, it involve doing JNI + Java and cross compiling the Abi…

I'm not sure this will go the way one would want. There is nobody to do Windows and the Mac port has also fallen behind. I'd rather continue the bootstrapped Qt port in parallel to…

nope. Never had eye surgery and I have normal vision without glasses. It was just a nod a reading stuff with a second set of eyes (ie code I didn't write).

It can read .doc. Never write. When it writes .doc it is actually writing RTF. A kludge, but this is better than always explaining users that saving as .rtf will be fine. And Word …

It is not "refused". It is just not a trivial undertaking and with even more limited resources now, it is even less easy. Just switching to ODF as a default format wouldn't have be…

definitely not.

btw, creating the string with capacity was in my mind at one point. Some contributor submitted a PR already https://github.com/hfiguiere/leftpad-rs/pull/2 Sadly it has gathered som…

I wrote this as a practical joke, following a friend of mine who did that for Go. (and no I didn't post that to HN either)
