“All for the Ladies: the Thread about Darlings, where the Older Woman could “forsake the styles of youth to select fashions that have dignity”
The following is taken from a wartime guide to Edinburgh, published by the Citizens Advice Bureau in 1940-41.
FASHIONS FOR THE OLDER WOMAN. To-day, when a woman finds she must forsake the styles of youth to select fashions that have dignity as their key-note, she will find in her quest for appropriate clothes that here requirements are happily anticipated at Darling’s. There are Gowns, Coats and Accessories for her specially, in which elegance and comfort are well allied to a wise economy. DARLING’S “ALL FOR THE LADIES” PRINCES STREET, EDINBURGH.
Sir William Young Darling CBE FRSE LLD MC (1885-1962) joined the family drapery business in 1922, which was located at 124-5 Princes Street, where the New Look store now is and advanced to become its Director. He was a member of the Corporation of the City of Edinburgh from 1933, made city treasurer from 1947-40 and was Lord Provost from 1941-44, for which he was awarded the customary knighthood. During wartime he was the Chief Air Raid Warden for the city from 1939-41, a period when it saw sporadic and occasionally fatal aerial attacks. Post war he was the Unionist Party (predecessor to today’s Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party) Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South from 1945-57. He was the great uncle of the late Edinburgh Central (later Southwest) Labour MP, Baron Darling of Roulanish.
William Darling in 1947A 1932 advert for the company in The Scotsman declared that their sale offerings include: Hats of Every Description, Travel Coats and Costumes, Model Afternoon and Evening Gowns, Washing Dresses, Kintwear, Blouses, Stockings, Gloves and Shoes, Lingerie and Corsets, Furs, Including Model Fur Coats, Silks, Cloths, and Tweeds.
Darling was a bit of an author; during his wartime service during the Irish War of Independence (1920-22) he was joint editor of an army newspaper called Weekly Summary. He published 5 anonymous novels in the 1930s, after which he behind to use his own name. He published a book to celebrate the centenary of the family business in 1949, “Princes Street Parade. A Century of Fashion“. I have found a few pages online from auction sales of what now seems to be a collectors item:
Published by Darling & Company. Purveyors of Merchandise for Ladies and their Daughters for THREE GENERATIONS in the Capital of Scotland
Woman. In Her Pursuit of Fashion
WHILE KINGDOMS rise and fall and new communities are born, there is one thing which is stabled through all the flux of years. Woman is always with us – Woman, with her endless search for the beautiful, the adequate and the appropriate – Woman in her pursuit of Fashion. THIS REMAINS, whatever else betides
1872. THE FEMALE FIGURE begins to find itself*1. It emerges, if only frontally, in its straight elegance, but the flounced importance remains, and a romantic atmosphere is engendered by the adoption of the bustle”
1928-1929 THE SILK STOCKING HAS ARRIVED. No longer, except in the pages of history, can a Queen assert that she has no legs! All the ladies have legs2, and how proud they are to show them!
- I assume women didn’t have figures before 1871? ↩︎
- Before 1927, women had wheels instead of legs and had to be moved around by men? ↩︎

@jonmsterling @wmlive @sgharms Well, it ends up being nostalgia software for NextStep/OpenStep fans and people who like approaches like Nextspace.
If you‘d like to have a Mac OS X compatibility layer, contribute to #Darling. You you like a Mac like operating system contribute to #Haiku. -
@curioustommy You‘ve done amazing work with #Darling. But for real world usage you need UI toolkits. And I think it‘s obvious having UIKit and AppKit is too much for any project out there. So having AppKit and being able to start my old apps from #SnowLeopard would just be phantastic.

The situation with how Nintendo is handling the Nintendo Switch emulators (Ryujinx & Yuzu) makes me think about our plans to support non-macOS platforms on Darling in the very distant future.
The thing that sucks about non-macOS platforms is that Apple requires all apps released in the App Store to be encrypted with their Fair Play junk...
While I don't see Apple being as aggressive as Nintendo, when it comes to their legacy software/ecosystem. I worried that Apple may be compelled to pull a Nintendo if Darling's (hypothetical) iPadOS implementation becomes good enough to handle a decent handful of modern apps.
One advantage TouchHLE has over Darling is that the emulator only supports 32bit iOS apps. Darling, on the other hand, is intended to support modern apps (which Apple may find as a threat).
I'm tempted to convince our group to drop the idea of supporting non-macOS platforms on Darling...

@bugaevc Btw, installed #Darling, which was very smooth and easy. Integration into the Linux shell is impressive, almost feels like working on a #Mac. I tried to execute a couple of #AppKit apps, but even the oldest and simplest failed. So that looks like a lot of work. 😉🫣
But thank you for that impressive work done so far. 👍💚

With some unmerged hacks/workarounds, I managed to get Darling to successfully execute an arm64 macOS executable on Linux!
More work needs to be done though before this can be merged into the master/main branch.

System degradation - The Darling River
"The suffocation of up to 30 million fish in western NSW has been described by a scientist as a "canary in the coal mine" for a sick river environment. NSW deputy chief scientist Darren Saunders said the fish deaths were symptomatic of a larger problem."
"The fish are a canary in the coal mine"
"What we found is there's a much broader degradation in the ecosystem in the Darling Baarka. But essentially the environment is sick, the fish are essentially an indicator."

WTF, a small town mayor was just chased to his death by cops for what they claim was a wellness check. They say he was not being chased for any crime, just for a wellness check. During the chase Mayor of McColl South Carolina, George Garner, got into an accident and was hit head on by an 18 wheeler.
