<cr1901_modern> https://twitter.com/kingdomakrillic/status/1271226698961387520 A while ago, I linked a video of installing an MCA sound card for Windows 3.1... and it played Sim City tracks horribly
<cr1901_modern> well mystery solved
<cr1901_modern> Apparently the whole soundtrack is f***ed if not playing on a Windoze soundfont
<cr1901_modern> wonder why...
<ej5> huh weird

<cr1901_modern> ej5: Yea, agreed... they really only tested against the default Windows driver back then?
<cr1901_modern> Also, good going on the Amiga! I need to get one when I have a few spare organs to trade.
<ej5> not too surprising
<ej5> yeah look for broken ones, they're more fun

<andlabs> if you're waiting for LGR to cover simrefinery, it's not on the main channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ6Cqn5rTfs
<andlabs> also this same alt channel has this video on it, which is relevan to this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNrF-g3FbtU

<ValleyBell> I guess I can ask here as well.
<ValleyBell> I'm working on a console MIDI player. However I have trouble making a "good" UI layout.
<ValleyBell> I'd like to place all the elemnts you see in the lower right corner within the 3 lines at the top - in some way that makes sense.
<ValleyBell> (i.e. the question is not "how", but "where to place the stuff")
<ValleyBell> I could maybe leave the "Quit/Pause/..." stuff out, but I'd really like to have all the other information placed somewhere.

<cr1901_modern> IME classic TUIs of the DOS era have a menu on the first row, not unlike Windows apps when you press Alt
<cr1901_modern> ValleyBell: Looks like you're using the first row only for the MIDI Player string
<andlabs> lol

<ValleyBell> cr1901_modern: The "MIDI Player" string is what is supposed to stay.
<ValleyBell> The gray area at the top is "free to be filled with information".

<cr1901_modern> Then I would put File Option Quit etc up there
<cr1901_modern> next to the MIDI Player string
<andlabs> as for me I still don't have an answer here
<andlabs> but it still seems like you're trying to put too much on screen at once???

<ValleyBell> Well... I already *have* a design. But they are stored by "order in which I implemented the features".
<ValleyBell> For reference, the layout is based on Playmidi tool: https://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/playmidi/screenshots/117306.jpg

<cr1901_modern> In light of current events, I would strongly advise ppl to check their browser history (all of it), see what archive links you visited over the years, and make a copy when possible: https://twitter.com/MT6572A/status/1271514511833534465
<cr1901_modern> I guess you can wget it, but it doesn't appear you can create copies of websites
<superctr> there's a mirror of the Internet Archive in Egypt
<superctr> somehow i think US book publishers have a smaller "clout" there
<Lofty> Honestly the entire fucking situation makes me think of the Streisand effect
<cr1901_modern> I'm petty enough to blame A Certain Author for this. Even if realistically, he had little effect.
<andlabs> which one
<andlabs> also this is just going to be a repeat of the google books fiasco
<andlabs> in that situations, the publishers successfully burned enough bridgest o ensure a pyrrhic victory
<andlabs> and came out of it with some regret
