Interesting. I only discovered it a year or two ago, and not because of school or anything. I believe I saw it mentioned in a comment on Hackernews, and and the commenters praised it a lot there, so I read it.

    The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster. It's a short story.

    I tried it many years ago and it was nice, but I couldn't really make it fit my workflow properly.

    Somewhat related, I run a linux VM with Everything search 1.5 (alpha, beta or rc, I don't remember, but it's much better than 1.4) in Wine, and that VM has most of my main storage array mounted read-only. Then I have the Everything web interface enabled, so I have a place to search my tens of millions of hoarded files instantly. Doesn't archive file content though.

    I feel like the GiMP devs must be so fundamentally against good UX that donating towards that goal would be a waste, to be completely honest. They've had decades to show at least a small commitment to improving the UX. If there was an "Improve GiMP's UX" fund I could donate to, which guaranteed the money would go towards just that, I definitely would donate.
