ArcaOS on Youtube @MichaelMJD
Alex Taylor:
WP does indeed use MIRRORS.DLL (I just double checked and sure enough it's there on diskette 1).
Lars:
ok, so that likely means, the color resolution should be changed to anything else but 256 colors. For example, you should change to 16 colors (lousy) or true color (16 Million colors). Then, according to that article in "PC Mag", that should get rid of that "white text on black background" problem.
If I`d have to guess I would think that there is a problem if colors are selected from a palette instead of being directly coded in RGB.
davidrg:
And it seems Arca Noae issued a copyright takedown notice - the video is gone: https://twitter.com/mjdtweets/status/1620121728105218049
Seems like a bit of an abuse of the youtube takedown mechanism. Even if Arca Noae doesn't like the video for some reason they shouldn't just go pretending they hold the copyright for it and asking for youtube to remove it.
Lars:
Read through this and you know why:

They don't have any guts to take a stand against criticism.
Sigurd Fastenrath:
That is what I mean with "The holy Grail" ArcaOS.
Instead of using facts to convince critics of the opposite, they prefer to be silenced.
Imagine that on Windows: how many videos are there that criticize something, rightly or wrongly, and how many then have to delete these videos? Is that actually what is meant by "censorship"? As 007 once said to Q in Goldfinger "You must be joking!"
When I started OS/2 in 1995, I heard about the "OS/2 evangelists" and their very deterrent strategy for spreading OS/2. Doesn't an operating system also live from the discussion about it, from the rough edges that it may have?
Oh man, I can only hope that this is a misunderstanding and that the few people who deal with ArcaOS and also make it public are not alienated. For me, this also means very clearly: Am I glad that I deleted the ArcaOS channel. There will be no more videos about ArcaOS from me until further notice. But there are plans for OS/2 again!
I hope that ArcaNoae will still rethink this. So in my opinion you only destroy everything yourself, or as a German computer magazine once wrote in connection with a publication about OS/2: "IBM is cutting off its own arms and legs again."
But in the end it may sadly lead to: "Who cares at all?"
