@ljrk Shout out to the original ENIAC programming team: Kay McNulty, Betty Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Fran Bilas and Ruth Lichterman.

I watched some interviews with them at the Computer History Museum. This doc also looks cool:

I have heard that some black women were also involved with this project but sadly this has not been well documented and information about them may have been lost in the historical record.

@thomasfuchs Not sure if this qualifies as "obscure" but the first digital camera my family had was a Sony Mavica that wrote directly to 3½" floppy disks. Some of those old photos I took with it are still online, being served up by a PC my dad has been using as a webserver since around that same time period: http://www.bambi.net/eliot/a1.html

Been wanting something like this for a while, I didn't know there were advanced search operators not documented in the UI!

@bgtlover @cwebber It is on PeerTube: https://share.tube/w/k6zcRg7zbR1BRvuedseTGZ

It was linked in the original post but it's easy to miss since it was on the same line as the YouTube link.

@evan
Qualified no.

Metapreference: Strong Yes

Actual preference: I may not like Biden too much but you bet I'll be voting for him in the general. Protest votes are severely punished by our current electoral system, especially in close races. We need to fix a broken system before we can meaningfully fix much else, IMO.

@parismarx Hm, I wonder if this might run afoul of the FTC's new rules banning non-compete agreements.

1: Doom splash screen showing doomguy shooting guns
2: Starting area of E1M1: Hangar level
3: Shareware upsell screen advertising additional episodes for $40 with screenshots of new game content and ordering hotline number
4: Pre-quit screen berating player for not ordering Doom

Thanks for the great content. Please consider adding alt text to your images in the future. It helps keep the fedi accessible and many people including me won't boost without it!
