Thank you, @… . It's been decades since I thought about DOS Shell.
Our first PC came with MS-DOS 5 and also Windows 3.1. So even then DOS Shell seemed quaint and antiquated. But in a fun way.

That's how I shovel TBs of data through my tiny copper line.

In this episode of Double Tap, Mike Shebanek tells his story of the creation of VoiceOver and how it led to today when all major consumer operating systems have built-in screen readers.
Someone should make this into a movie.

Robby Duguay's Silent City, a remake of the Christmas carol Silent Night in the style of the SNES game SimCity.
Duguay's 3-volume collection, 12GB of Christmas, includes many excellent 8-bit and 16-bit pastiches like this.

"…Carter often struggled to implement key parts of his agenda, and disability rights was no exception. So disabled people had to step in to do the work that the non-disabled simply couldn't get done on their own."

AI chatbots are like that one uncle you see at Thanksgiving. Over his life he became a true expert in something, say, ice sculptures, and can speak with authority on it. But he's convinced he should speak with authority on any subject at all — medicine, law, business, how rainy it will be next spring — stating with 100% certainty things he heard or made up.
Many things he says are right, many are wrong, and you can't judge which is which from his words alone.

Happy Solstice

Article on media treatment of people with disabilities after the ADA was enacted in 1990.
A quote from the article:
"In the mind of the public and the media, there are 'legitimate' and 'worthy' disabilities, usually those visible to the naked eye, such as mobility impairments and blindness. At the other end of the spectrum, there are the 'undeserving disabled,' people who are thought to be to blame for their conditions."

I switched from Windows to Linux for personal home use a few years ago. Here's a hot tip. After running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a while, I moved to OpenSUSE Leap and love it. Everything works just the same, but updates are significantly faster.
