    Unfortunately it looks like this hasn't taken off. An international pictographic language is a great idea tho. This is a better approach imo: https://artreview.com/ara-springsummer…

    Most fountain pens have the nib and feed as one glued unit (confusingly, informally called the 'nib'), so you can't adjust the flow. Compare the 'nibs' at the top and bottom of thi…

    1. Noodler's fountain pens. These are 'Hacker-friendly' pens. With most pens the nib and feed are glued in, but in the Noodlers pens they are push fit, so can be adjusted. You can …

    This was why I flagged it 'OT', which means "Off Topic", i.e. irrelevant. Different forums have different conventions, and judging by the downvotes even flagged OT is not OK here. …

    Any deviation from the norms of English calls attention to itself, and distracts from the meaning. This can be done by great writers, but always with reason. Good writing reveals s…

    True, however cooperation and coöperation are not.

    I'm well aware it's a diaeresis, and that it's part of their house style. That's exactly what I'm objecting to. The diaeresis is obsolete modern English (with rare exceptions) and …

    It is entirely possible to trojan a system with an encrypted OS partition, by using a bootkit. For extra security, you should boot off a removable medium. Even this can be attacked…

    It is, and this is stated in the FAQ: https://github.com/t-d-k/LibreCrypt/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#... Sadly, the FreeOTFE licence means I had to change the name.
