>I wish someone would come up with better filters for emulating CRT glow

I'm a fan of Blargg's NTSC filter[a], included in snes9x-gtk.

I highly recommend reading Kyle Pittman's article on CRT emulation:

well, noone's saying that viper-mode couldn't be improved

Or `evil-mode`. (I prefer `god-mode` as I have Emacs keybindings in muscle memory and the vim bindings slowly fade from memory.)

the classic freecell game had the useful feature where you could play the entire game from the numpad, the new one sucks

what's the deal with multicast?

We don't see multicast any more, in OTT streaming formats such as DASH or HLS use cheap and scalable HTTP infrastructure and HTTP caches, which can be seen as application layer multicast

simply hack pixman and then most things that request gradients in linux (including cairo therefore inkscape) will generate flawlessly smooth color curves
