Dear literally every company on Gæa’s green earth: I do not want to install your fucking app. If you make me install your app, i will be far less likely to do business with you again.

Among my gifts for Xmas was a nice pocketwatch that I set in 20 seconds. "Smart" consumer electronics are usu. as circuitously stupid as most of the people who use them.

No Respect, Invasive Sentiment and A Very Important Thing were probably my favorites. The whole album feels so warm and sentimental I can't even describe the feeling perfectly!

People seriously say "we should care about accessibility" then have alt text on their sites like "pink button with the words 'link to me' in the helvetica font and a six pointed white star with a blue circle in the center. the circle is off center, but only a little". I hope they never have to use a screen reader!

Good job. I hope everyone who is looking for this info finds this page.
For me, IrfanView, Info-ZIP/Wiz, GnuWin suite, Audacious, Links, ELinks, Lynx, and K-Meleon were and would be requisite for a WinXP installation. Good ports of over half of my programs (some of which you mentioned) are available for Win9x/WinXP.
Good choices! I'm a big fan of links and k-meleon and I should've added them to the list from the start. I never used IrfanView much back in the day, but given it's still compatible with XP, I'll add it too.
Properly configured with its plugins, IrfanView is the single best general-purpose viewer, editor, and manager for raster images that I've used. A few buggy clones of it written in GTK/Qt came and went, and programs like ida/Phototonic/Mirage/etc. are great, but we've nothing that's qualitatively comparable for BSDs/Linuxes possessing its accessibility, functional sweep, or stability.
Good Win32/Win64 ports of Midnight Commander, ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick are also available, and plenty of other CLI/TUI programs can be compiled for either....I could go on and on!
How could I forget about ImageMagick, when I use it all the time! That's going on the list. Man, you know your stuff. Do you use XP often?
I haven't used XP in over a decade. When I did, I routinely sought out source and/or binaries for nearly everything that I use or play in Debian and FreeBSD that isn't for DOS, Win16, or wholly dependent on X11's libraries -- over 400 programs. | https://rbuchanan.neocities.org/links.html#Software
For GnuWin, *Magicks, etc., one can very easily edit Windows's environment variables to use anything as you would in a Unix-alike. Solid ports of bash and zsh don't hurt, either.
Yup, that's my experience using git for windows as my unix utils purveyor. It works very well.
