Glad to hear that a snapshot saved your day. Probably the most usefull feature in TW.

Really cool project and a good read!

Maybe I am too deep into retro computing and such but my first reaction when I read the headline was “Oh great! A new game engine for the Acorn Archimedes computer.” :)

Hey,

No issues from my side so far. Have you tried to rollback to see if it’s related to the update? Could also be a hardware error that just happened to occur at the same time as the update.

Congratulations to everyone who took part. That’s amazing.

I totally agree with you. openSUSE Tumbleweed is IMHO the most stable rolling release distro out there.

Arch and some of its derivatives are also nice but still not as stable or polished as Tumbleweed.

I am still missing the sub-folders feature in the application menu. I hope that someday a developer shows mercy and bring back that feature.

I just use Kritas Image Split feature. But it would be nice to download a widescreen picture and just set it as a background for all monitors. We need to wait until someone will implement that feature.

On the right side there are power lines but I am not sure if the thin cables on the left are power lines. They are very thin. Maybe phone lines or telegraph cables.

Yeah. On my phone it looks also more like water than just a wet road.

… but also I presume road building techniques have come a long way in the last 100 years.

That’s what I find so fascinating about old photos. You can see how quickly technology has developed in 100 years. And the development is progressing faster and faster every year.

Yeah. Totally agree :).

To me it looks a bit like a wet and worn out bitumen road after heavy rain.

Most streets built before the early 1900s in NZ were made of macadam, which was highly suitable for horse-drawn vehicles. However, with the rise of motor traffic in the 1920s, many areas had to seek more durable options for road surfacing. The most frequently used material became asphalt or bitumen, which gained widespread use starting in the 1920s.
