Well, "Updates" is such a strong word, and one unlikely to indicate the actual nutritional values of what it says on the tin.
And, I must say, given (as you posted) the other far more significant, pertinent, and important thread I made a few weeks ago indicates I would be forgiven for doubting the perspicacity of the populace as despite over 500 "views", apparently no one noticed I had been resurrected (aside from Nikos, who studies these things - resurrections, that is, not the comings and goings of his much maligned minions). Or perhaps that was Nikos Kazantzakis, his literarily mononymous doppelgänger? It was, after all, posited within that thread that we were the same person (he and I, not Kazantzakis), though anyone with experience of the disorderly dissociative arts would know that split personality is a difficult thing to maintain intact (or fractured?) for any length of time, so I'm not surprised he retired my [his?] non-de-plume. Or did he? Did I? It's a curious thing, being the personification of an other's personality... though, I must say, the freedoms allowed to pseudo-imaginary characters are much greater than that of ordinary immortals.

Information about him was scarce, and it was incorrectly rumored there that he had died by suicide shortly after releasing his second album.
...which, if true, would indicate that I have very little memory of the last few years, and I, for one, as a figmented fragment of Nikos' current personification, find that strangely comforting. They made a movie about that event (though with more special-effects than the real thing), so I can't be the only one whose absence was maligned, regretted, lambasted, afflicted.Kilmatead wrote:So there I was, riding through Paris in a sportscar with the warm wind in my hair, when Thanos snapped his fingers... and... poof...
Always a nice sign when there's an explicit void FixDarkScrollBar(), to suggest the void is indeed a void.Nikos wrote:dark mode black magic basics... (but then scrollers get white)
Which is why amongst the chaff, I suggested something about truncating lists before that happens and just living with the regrets a civilised society celebrates. By the time the menu displays and the "Organise" option is available, it's too late to avoid blowing out your retinal implants. The only workaround would be a toolbar button as a direct link to the Organise demesnes, which is easy enough to do, but a silly waste of space. Just castrate the menu instead. The brothel of the blind would thank you.Nikos wrote:Menus with a horizontal break paint white, don't know why...
Ah, sōdesu ka, Nikos-san. Who would ever think to look for something called "Menu Column Break"? I mean, really... Should have been called "Super Trans-Galactic Maginot Line Break Delimiter", which would have been so much more clear. Always over-complicating things, you are.
