The most perceptive question made in this series of Reith Lectures, "So what is this great moral singularity?", that's a paraphrase.
For which there was no answer except human nature.

I notice that the hang forever in File Manager when 'drives' don't respond has been maintained into Windows 11.
This is a 43 year old bug which predates Windows, though it was fixed for diskette drives in MS-DOS, check status line.

first: my newest zine, The Secret Rules of the Terminal!
This has all the gnarly details about the Unix terminal that I wish I knew when I started using it. It's weird and kind of wonderful (I talk about why you can use your mouse in the terminal!)
