Particularly interesting is this comment:
One really interesting addition to me is that the early internet was a very, VERY free speech place. It loved Gish Gallops of enormous numbers of arguments from all sides and the idea that you would tell anyone, even the most foolish, that they should be banned was verboten.
In fact, early atheists loved creationists posting! It gave them content because these people were so obviously wrong. And creationists the same, because it allowed them to fight back too.
The modern deplatforming support on both sides is another sign that that era is gone.

That can move photos into directories according to their EXIF date, which should already help you a lot.
I recommend “new comments”.
18·14 days agoAn ISO file is just binary data representing the data on an optical disk.
So it makes sense that VLC can in principle open ISO files, they could be audio CDs or movie DVDs. I suppose what you see here is the result of it doing its best to “show” a DVD containing something entirely different.
As an Esperantist I like the fact that so many FOSS projects have Esperanto-derived names. 👍

KolourPaint is very close to an exact clone of MS Paint from around Windows XP.
There are also xpaint and Pinta, which are somewhat different, but might satisfy your requirements too.
It always looks funny tho. :D
