Yes! Just started reading the table of contents, and already I'm feeling that joy of old-school creative computing. Revival of the culture of personal computers and programming as a technology of liberation. A better future is possible and the power is in our hands.

yes!

They've got a new web viewer in this issue that can be used to link to individual articles and might be nicer than reading a PDF on some screens: https://pagedout.institute/webview.php?issue=8&page=1

The article I submitted has an HTML tag in the title, and seems to have broken the web viewer :(

Note that you can link to pages in a PDF with a hash like #page=64 (for example) in the URL.

I feel like this tweet suggests that the PDF is a polyglot or an embedded second PDF. https://x.com/gynvael/status/2024180784064598134

Initial impressions says no about being that file a polyglot.

I love Paged Out -- it's basically the only modern equivalent to 1980s BYTE or Dr. Dobbs Journal today.

There's also Proof Of Concept Or GTFO edited by Pastor Manuel LaPhroaig https://github.com/angea/pocorgtfo

Boy, PoC||GTFO is my favorite "magazine".

No, not giving spoilers except there might be some polyglot files.

I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.

Oh yeah. I have the paperback 'bible'. I don't think that that one is a polyglot, though.
