I have nothing but positive things to say about this game. Except for the negative things.

I haven’t done a proper review, and might bother some time later.

Preceded by Borderlands – (2009 game)
Followed by Borderlands – The Pre-Sequel
Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

Encryption software.

Easy to use.

This is the successor to the abandoned TrueCrypt.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.

Like Chrome, it’s missing fundamental things.

Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:

Syntax highlighting
Code folding
Symbol name auto-completion
Construct completion/snippets
Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
Call tips

This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.
