It's probably property of AOL. But REAPER isn't open source either. Justin Frankel has released other open source stuff though.

I think AOL sold it to a random company at least a decade ago, and then they announced they will modernize it and have a big surprise and shit, then nothing happened for years, and then maybe two years ago they actually released a new update to winamp 5. Also while it's not open source, the source also leaked years ago, and there are unofficial updates to the old AOL winamp too. No idea if they kept going once the re…

I worked for that company 7 years ago, they were looking a way to make money with it but didn’t found out how. They already make money from radio advertisement products and didn’t seems willing to put resources on anything not lucrative. Updating/open sourcing was not on the agenda.

Looks like a match: https://shorturl.at/SBYHT Edit: shorter url

There is no reason to shorten the url here, and I much prefer to be able to see where I'm going before I click.

It's still like that. There's a lot of weird things you're gonna find on the tail end of Github repositories, or Pastebin uploads, Imgur, or YouTube... it's just hard to find unless you crawl the whole thing or otherwise come into the possession of the underlying database (as this person did).

The difference is that nowadays you have to shift through orders of magnitude more monetised manure in order to find the sprouting gems.

I had an incredible deja-vu feeling on the guys standing around the hoop, so weird.

Google's reverse image search (images.google.com, click the little camera) can perform better in many cases, though here it only finds the linked page

It is an irony that Windows makes keyboard shortcut users out of even non-techies.

Yes, single click, then Enter, that's the winning combo here.

If you're willing to try something a little bit different, Windows also has a single-click to open mode ('View->Options->Change folder and search options' in Win 11). To only select, you point and hover for a moment.
