Typical 2007 Skype call with this thing:
"We can't hear you, you are too soft"
"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW"
"OW, now you are too loud!"

I don't know if it's this helps but I use KWrite and Kate.
@IAmSpartacus Oh right, there was one other thing they released in space that wasn't a rush job.
Either way, I'm just tired of people picking sides, when i don't think there is a single hugely influential country on this planet that isn't corrupt in some way.
@IAmSpartacus I mean other than the Venus missions, has Russia ever put anything in space that didn't begin to fall apart after launch? Russia seems just as desperate as Washington to appear strong when both of them are falling apart in their own way.
@internetarchive @mmasnick It seems that #Amazon universally turned off its "Look Inside the Book" feature at about the same time that Internet Archive reached a preliminary settlement in the case to widely restrict content access to books.
Are these two events somehow related?
As I understand it, Amazon's limited preview feature was always done in agreement with publishers.
@SinclairSpeccy I have a partially working TurboGraffix. Unfortunately I have a lot of other tech that needs attention and repair funds, so the poor thing will have to wait.
When trying to save an old program called pgpfone, I clicked an unassuming link and was sent to an "interrogation" page. I wonder how paranoid the government spooks were about this program back in the mid 90's? #retrocomputing

@antoniusmisfit Not so much found, more so remembered. I loved using this search engine when I was a kid.
@kiwired That is...infuriating..and also very confusing. Does it work with any kind of proxy/vpn/vps setup?
The weirdest thing I've done since becoming a software archivist is go back to using dogpile.com. In this case I was trying to find a newer version of Simona Planner. Google couldn't find anything but usenet postings. Mamont couldn't find anything. But Dogpile delivered. #retrocomputing
