Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.

Word Grinder hits all the marks.

I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.

For undisturbed writing, I use a laptop running a minimal cli only linux install with Word Grinder. Its a modern text mode writer app that stores files in text or markdown.

OP listed the apps they want to run and none of that was on their list

A gaming rig is a waste of money because you don't need a fast gpu on a such a server. You want a boring server box and even better one with built-in "ilo" remote management.

Everyone else agrees they are.

Really? Can I see the survey you sent everyone but me to determine this?

The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.

The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.

So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.

However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.

How is this a technology story?

It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.

I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.

Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.
