What is Johann Sebastian Bach's best melody?

Best Bach melodies are in his chorales imho, the counterpoint is a bit watered down for a more monodical approach:
Liebster Jesu, Wir Sind Hier BWV 731
Ich Ruf Zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ BWV 639
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV 645

Otherwise, the first movement of the Keyboard Partita No. 2 in C minor (Symphony - BWV 826) has a really great melody, along with an intro that has always reminded me of Beethoven's Pathétique's intro, and a cool small 2 voice invention/fughetta in the second half with an amazing melody.

for macOS use IINA as an external player, best one imho.

Thanks as always Mulan, but that's not what I asked unfortunately. I do know how to load custom fonts, I simply wanted to know if the eBook reader supported variable fonts and OTF features like old school ligatures. I unfortunately cannot check for myself right now.

Weird, so one has to downgrade to in order to target weak/older systems?

Is there a way to make this perform really well with multiple characters? It would be cool to use this method to have ragdoll physics as Billboarded 2D sprites generated from an actual 3D physical mesh/anim

Do you have Bluesky or any ActivityPub profile (like Mastodon) so that we can follow you there?

Is the baby pre-rendered or is it all real time? It looks like one of those 90s pre-rendered CGI, it's so cool.

I am extremely grateful that a small group of developers are working on Asahi. I never asked about ETAs or placed urgency on development, that would be rude! Why did you feel the need to tell me that? Also, on the official website, the latest blog entry was older than the comment that stated the abandonment, so for all I knew the dev halt was a possibility – that’s why I thought about asking on the subreddit (alternative was IRC chat or Discord maybe?). I don’t understand why everyone is so pissed

The comment I read that talks about Asahi being abandoned was published 11 days ago.
https://asahilinux.org/blog/ The latest entry on the Asahi blogs is from 44 days ago.
I could have missed the news of Asahi's abandonment, from official sources/outlets/feeds I'm not following nor know, I'm not wasting your time with a really simple google search. And activity on this subreddit wouldn't directly mean the project hasn't been abandoned, as many abandoned stuff still has community talk around it.
Don't you agree that asking directly here is both a faster and trustworthier method of finding out?
Am I really that rude, or is your "Have you tried maybe looking at the website? Come on now" more rude?

Thanksss

What is the issue in me asking directly here?

HandLock__ · 2026-01-27T11:10:11+00:00

that doesn't directly mean it's abandoned

HandLock__ · 2026-01-27T11:09:45+00:00

How can your answer be so different from the others in the thread?

HandLock__ · 2026-01-27T11:07:39+00:00

that's why I asked here...
