From 1abf3e3c2ca6fbeafeeee3eaae3673e1f81ccc21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Klapper Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:40:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Diviner: Update "Arcanist User Guide: Windows" Summary: Some applications have seen new releases in the last decade, Gitpad is archived, Visual Code 9 has become 17, and the floppy disk has become the icon of saving. Test Plan: Probably have a Windows installation. I do not.
