CDE was commercial software born in the Unix Wars, so it was expected to have an integrated online user-oriented manual. One that's complete, comprehensive, and written for the end user, accessible from a very lightweight hypertext browser utility, is a high standard programmers and technical writers should strive for even today.

I am presently torturing myself with CDE. It's in FreeBSD's pkg repo and ports tree, and it provides a functional desktop, but it's too broken to be usable. The right-click menu is often incomplete, some tools crash and dump core, and Information Manager errors out with a configuration-related error message the 'Net has never written about.

That last one is sad because its command, dtinfo, runs just fine from the terminal emulator and reveals a complete and comprehensive help system library.

TIL Apple iOS will sometimes randomly alter a Mail account's IMAP settings, changing the SMTP authentication method from "Password" to "NTLM" for no reason.

@mavica_again This reads as both a depressing reality and a determined mission statement.

A random stranger said I reminded her of a girlfriend she had in her younger years. I don't know how I should be feeling, but I feel gender and happy.

Why is it called "selfhosting" and not "subsistence server farming"? ​:neocat_think_owo:​
