I just realized what I hate about modern chat: it's not a small window on the screen anymore, it's *the whole screen*.

Discord (et al) is barely usable in a small window, whereas AOL Instant Messenger was *very* usable in a small window as you went about your browsing.

For me, smaller window = fewer distractions.

Mohl by se třeba jmenovat Pyšná princezna.

Fun fact: the code which took Apollo 11 to the moon is available on github github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-

And if you look through it you'll see that - joyfully - it also includes original comments.

My absolute favourite thing about the Moon Code is that it includes comments like this: "TEMPORARY - I HOPE HOPE HOPE"
