Valen@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Writing WordPress blog posts with WordStar and UlyssesEnglish2·2 years agoAhh, WordStar. That was a great editor. Keep in mind, at the time the control key on keyboards was where the caps lock key is now, and there weren’t arrow keys. So the left hand moved the cursor up/down/left/right by characters, words, or screens very easily. Once you used it for a while, it became second nature.
It was easier to write text in WordStar than in vi. That was a hard transition. But WordPerfect was a truly opaque piece of software until you had the ubiquitous templates for the function keys.

Valen@beehaw.orgto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x08 "Under the Cloak of War"English2·2 years agoThis episode exists because of the stupid Starfleet rule of having traumatized veterans of the war have to interact positively with the supposedly bad-to-good turned war crime enemy. That’s a classic example of people acting stupid for “plot” (e.g. we couldn’t have this episode without the stupid bit).
Still a language to make the computer do something. Thus, programming language. Scripts are programs.
