Ok, I just corrected a typo in a file, the file in which I composed, and from which I copy and pasted, this screed

mastodon.technology/@deejoe/10

specifically the typo "sufficent" in

mastodon.technology/@deejoe/10

while in the Ubuntu screen reader (which I think is 'orca'?) , using ed(1) "the standard editor".

It was something of a very small & contrived exercise but as I got to thinking about the use of screen readers, the need to maintain state mentally seemed like something of a match with how one uses ed(1).

@deejoe what's interesting to me is that ed(1), when used with a teletype, provides (or can provide) plenty of state, in the form of printed lines on paper. It's truly an editor that was designed specifically for a physical paper trail.

hey y'all

so, stonks discourse has been in the air, but it wasn't directly why I looked this up

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Fu

you may be wondering what the MPAA has to do with onion futures

(not really, j/k, like me you probably had *no* idea what-so-heckin'-ever that the MPAA [yes! *that* MPAA] would even be mentioned in an article about agricultural commodities tradin)

so go on, read it.

what's particularly great* about it is that this one little old allium was the only thing in the law until 2010, when the discourse was all Stop the Times Square Mosque this and Repeal and Replace Obamacare that, but the content industry hirelings saw an opportunity to tame The Market and so scuttled right on over and slipped that one in
