Mac Classic (Color) was so dang tidy.
And I love how sparingly classic MacOS used colors.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
And you're missing some compassion.
In what way? I recognize that the remarks Terry A. Davis made were not his fault, it's the mental illness. Doesn't change the fact that he had an unfortunate fixation on race. I wish his terrible fate could have been avoided, but having been very close for many years to a schizophrenic person, I can tell you that they will only get treatment if they want to. You can't force them. You can try to be there and help them…

If so, he shares that trait with plenty of people in the US, who increasingly view "racial blindness" as untenable. Of course it's not their fault either: "noticing" race is simply a very successful, self-replicating memetic parasite which can leverage the likes of Twitter or 4chan equally as platforms for its spread.

#14If it doesn't have System D I may have to check it out.

Based on the design goals, I would guess that they intentionally want a PID 1 that doesn't properly handle and pass signals to child processes :-D

#17It's terrible, I love it. I also love that all the setup scripts are badly-written Perl scripts, and even some custom C code just to change the mixer rather than use alsactl. This is 1000% something I would have made years ago. edit Holy moly, the configs are CSV files.... that encode JSON?! And hey, Slack 15 is out! If they do a new release they won't need to release again for another 6 years!
"badly-written Perl scripts..."
You are much too kind to the monkeys who put this together. The config is nice, but Chicago? Chicago font? I thought that was buried deep, long ago.

Your comment came off as lacking compassion; perhaps I was mistaken in that impression.

#19I love everything about this. No other notes. Just that I love this and want to live here.

#20"Obsolete typeface" is an interesting thought.
