Tavis Ormandy ports WordPerfect for UNIX to Linux

Wednesday 20th July 2022 16:21 GMT Goatshadow

I remember WordPerfect 5 was critical for paralegals and legal secretaries in the 90s. The option to view the codes ensured that they could see their documents were formatted correctly for the excruciatingly picky courts. And they all had the key command templates stuck to their keyboards.

Edit: And they weren't always legit copies in those law offices.

Zero Case

Now someone needs to sell a camera case for the Zero. The available cases for it at any rate are pretty dire. (And not all of us have a 3D printer to make our own)

Re: Windows 10 was not a "democratic design"

Exactly. The Insider program was a joke.

Re: Don't blame users for the UI

To me the Insider Program looked like a lot of legitimate issues getting ignored, amidst a sea of unhelpful one-liner feedbacks. The Insider feedback application itself was a poorly designed mess, barely functional even across a few updates. When they decided that the wildly unfinished 10240 was release I gave up on it.
