EKG wieder top Medikament raus was Frau Dr. Psychosomatik unbedingt erforderlich fand und schwupps sind die Herzrythmusstörungen weg. Wenn ein Maler so arbeiten würde wie Neurologen, würden dauernd die Tapeten von der Wand fallen. Aber die verordnen einfach alles wovon sie mal gehört haben, ohne Ergebnisse oder Nebenwirkungen zu prüfen. Ist ja auch egal, den Schaden haben die Patienten. Verstehe immer besser warum viele Patientys alles über die Suppremierung hinnaus ablehnen. #ms

Telefonate mit der Krankenkasse und Sanitätshäusern Drei Hilfsmittelvorgänge sind komplett versaut in einer Gemeinschaftsleistung. Schlimmer als Erkrankung und Behinderung ist der Ableismus und die Herabwürdigung durch gesunde Menschen und Institutionen. #ms

Ocrelizumab: Ein Funke Hoffnung bei schwerer #MS - DocCheck Wer denkt, bei fortgeschrittener MS kann nichts mehr getan werden, täuscht sich. Denn auch vermeintlich ausweglosen Fällen könnte geholfen werden – mithilfe eines alten Bekannten. https://www.doccheck.com/de/detail/articles/53749-ocrelizumab-ein-funke-hoffnung-bei-schwerer-ms #MultipleSklerose #MultipleSclerosis

🏭 Microsoft Reports a Massive 25 Percent Jump in Emissions 「 Last month, the company officially announced a partnership with Chevron, which is building a power plant to supply a future data center for the company in West Texas. Permits show that that power plant could emit more than 11.5 million tons of CO2 equivalent annually, an amount greater than the entire state of Rhode Island 」 https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-25-percent-jump-in-carbon-emissions/ #climatechange #ms #datacenters #ai

I am putting all of my DOS projects, questions, and links here in case someone sees this and can help me with one or more of them. @tspivey@dragonscave.space I am including you in the discussion because I think 3 will be of special interest to you. Please fee free to untag yourself from this if you don't wish to participate in the discussion. You may also message me privately if you would rather talk that way.

I am a DOS user with a great ambition and also a few questions. Disclaimer: I am not a programmer, so I would either need to find someone who is or to try that vibe coding everyone is talking about. I would rather not do the latter, but I really have no knowledge on the subject, other than as a user of such software.

  1. I wish to update an existing screen reader for use with modern versions of DOS. Ideally, though, I would like a modern version to be made fully accessible including installer. I wrote about this here. I am also interested in whether or not a true software synthesizer can be used with DOS, not via Windows. The SoundBlaster sounds interesting, but it might require actual hardware or a specific sort of computer.

  1. In order to do this, I would rather update an existing screen reader than create a new one. It appears that Vispero now owns both JAWS for DOS and Vocal-Eyes, though whether they would make either of them open source I cannot say. I believe the original creator of ASAP, Larry Skutchan, is still alive. I recall writing to him some time ago, long before I had this idea, jhust to see if I could purchase the full version from him. If memory serves, he said he no longer has the software. But perhaps, he would permit me to reverse engineer it and update it. I would never do so without his permission. I know Provox is open source, but it's an extremely complicated system with no menus, etc. No matter what screen reader I use, it would all be open source. I have no interest in making money from this.

  1. Right now, I am using Talking DosBox and would like to know if there is any way of updating it. It seems that it might be using a version of VreeDOS. When I use the ver command, it says 5.0, but when I start edit, it says something about FreeDOS. I know they're up to version 1.4 right now, which has several improvements, but I'm not sure if this can be upgraded directly in Talking DOSBox or if a new machine must be created. I would love to be able to just use a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation, but I can't install it without speech and don't know how to connnect it to the BNS driver, even if I could. I do have an MS-DOS virtual machine, but I can't get it to work for some reason, either under 32-bit or 64-bit. I installed Com0Com but nothing works. I have a wonderful mp3 with instructions somewhere, but I must find it in my files!

  1. I am interested in learning QuickBasic 4.5. However, I heard of something called QB64 that can work with Windows XP through 7 and maybe later. I downloaded it, but the ide (interface) is completely inaccessible. I decided to just learn 4.5. for now, because the way to make QB64 work with a native Windows interface is a bit complicated and right now, I just want to start learning and practising. But if anyone can help with creating a native Windows version of QuickBasic (preferably one that works with Windows 7), that would be great!

Replying to @opennomad@mastodon.social
@opennomad@mastodon.social well i guess is is all ci/cd now, how much code do you produce, for me github is a shell i avoid, it should be forked but why not gitlab internally #ms loves linux so ms owns linux

I’ve never done an #Introduction post, so... I’m Tim. I have #MultipleSclerosis, and although that’s only a part of me, it’s shaped my life hugely since diagnosis (in 2009, after 4 years of symptoms). I’m a much kinder person than I used to be and I’m grateful for that, even if the disease itself is a bastard. I used to run marathons, but #MS eventually put paid to that, so now I swim in a lake and row on a river instead. I try to focus on what I have and not what I’ve lost. I have an MA in medieval history; I work as a PM for a large corporation, (but not very hard); I’m a trustee/director of a Nottingham-based charity combatting domestic violence. As a middle aged, white, CIS guy, this has been a real eye-opener; I’m a member of my local #parkrun core team; I’m a qualified running coach. I have loads of tattoos. I’m interested in politics but try to focus on being a force for good myself. Nauseating, no? ❤️ animals (esp cats!) ❤️ music ❤️ books Motto: don’t be a dick

Ed Zitron talks about how #MS switching to token based billing for its #LLM, and other #AI companies doing the same to enterprise customers, people are now starting to see how much the AI subsidized the market to get people hooked. Just like any drug dealer, first hit is free, man. Quote: This is the direct result of training every single AI user to use these services as much as humanely possible while obfuscating how much they really cost. Every single major company demanding that every single worker “use AI as much as possible” has done so while either fundamentally ignoring or being entirely disconnected from their actual token burn, and as companies are forced to pay the actual costs, I’m not sure how you can economically justify any investment in this technology. https://www.wheresyoured.at/ais-economics-dont-make-sense/

Moderne Software heute: Du zahlst eine Lizenz, besitzt aber nichts. Ohne Konto startet sie nicht, ohne Internet »unerwarteter Fehler«. Sie sammelt Daten – natürlich nur für »Sicherheit«, »Qualität« und dein »Erlebnis«. Updates kommen automatisch, Funktionen verschwinden automatisch. Und irgendwann wird dein Gerät Elektroschrott, weil der Dienst abgeschaltet wird. Kein Bug, sondern Geschäftsmodell. #software #ms #microsoft #bullshit
