I hope the next update gives an indication of how likely the December delivery target is, I'm so keen to get a hold of my Next! But I'll carry on waiting (semi) patiently even if it can't be realised 🙂

Ah, that explains it, because I'm not that interested in US politics.

Nice. I've been using Warp because of the whole cross platform thing and it supports Windows too (which I prefer to avoid, but can't on occasion).

It's all a dick-waving contest. None of them actually has billions in liquid assets they can spend, it's just theoretical money they can't really do anything with except avoid paying taxes: income from debt (take a loan from bank secured against billions of stock) doesn't attract income tax 🤬

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't really comment their 68k 😶 I'm trying to do better on that front, so that me in 6 months to a year can understand what the fuck I was thinking...🤣

Snap! Was also 8 when my Mum brought home a 2nd hand 48K rubber keyed Speccy. Played the games it came with for a while, then started typing in listings from magazines; had to figure out the bugs from either errors in my inputting or just plain bugs in the print and learned BASIC by osmosis! 😂

Working in Woolies when I was old enough (13 3/4) allowed me to convince my mum to lend me the price of an Amiga 500, my upgrade from 48k rubber key Speccy :) Was sad to see it go down the pan...

Ah, ok. C&A is still going strong here in Croatia. (Same branding, but Euro arm was separate to UK)

Woolworths is a thing again? I thought they shut down, or they had when I last lived in the UK, or did I imagine that?

The annoying this is it's 2025 and we still have to deal with browser differences... 😭 Even though a good portion of them are basically the same browser! 😂

Not sure, just tried it in Safari and it works fine. Bit more investigation and it seems like maybe the right-click mouse up event isn't firing properly. Right click will keep erasing pixels until you left click. That left click doesn't register as a left click but stops the erasing. 🤷♂️

I assume this is a Vivaldi idiosyncrasy: right click to erase seems to take about 2-3 seconds after releasing the button before it stops erasing pixels, which makes it quite tedious to correct mistakes. Nice work though.

please note, this could probably* be done so much better, but for a few hours of effort it does what I need :)
