I wonder if when one goes down, activity shifts to others, in turn pushing them over a threshold.

I recently went through most of the Spotify clients I could find on GitHub, looking for something "lean", including screen real estate.

Most of the GUI apps had something similar to the official app in the maximized window, but none had a good mini-player, something I could put in the corner of an external monitor and control most of the important functions with minimal mouse clicking, including EQ and playlist.

Interestingly this one with its Winamp mode is what I was looking for. Nostaliga is probably playing a part, but it a good UI does not have to be "modern".

I also went through a tour of TUI apps. Lots of interesting work there, but a full TUI with windows was less convenient to navigate, and some of them try to do too much. I wound up using https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot because it specifically does not attempt to be a character mode GUI. Almost like a ViMusic.

Anything with a soul that gains popularity is doomed to value extraction.

Yep. Las Vegas used to have a soul. Not anymore.

How many times has this happened now?

Wait for the new TacOS release on Tuesday.

Or the more all-in-one distro, BurritOS.

The red sauce will be your AnOS.

A problem was so many others were screaming about the lack of generics, as though there were not other language options that provided them.

It is stopping some of the adults I work with from learning.

In the case of some management, is causing them to unlearn, forgetting about proper review and maintenance practices.

Maybe a machine that did not require the inclusion of a Windows license in the purchase price?

At one point, I think Dell would let you subtract a small amount from an order when no OS was installed.
