Dear @verge - having tons of links with the name "link" is an accessibility nightmare. Assistive tech offers links as a list for fast navigation. You give a non-sighted user 30 links called "link". https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/13/23828624/installer-newsletter-callsheet-nerf-lego-arc
Let's not re-invent what works.

The Verge’s new way to display news item links is a terrible idea https://christianheilmann.com/2023/08/14/the-verges-new-way-to-display-news-item-links-is-a-terrible-idea/
Visually impaired users relying on quick access to links only get a bunch of them stating "link". Can we stop re-inventing things that work?

@codepo8 saw that format in their newsletter which seemed to be trumpeted as clever. It’s not. Why do people think this approach is remotely useful?

@craiggrannell used to love playing this on the Acorn computers at school. Is it available via emulation online anywhere?

#DailyRetroGame: Zarch/Virus (1987)

Seemingly co-authored by Elite creator David Braben and a sociopath, Zarch was primarily known to Brits via a Lander demo kids would sneak on to school computers. The full game expanded on its eye-popping 3D landscapes and absurdly twitchy gameplay, as you attempted to use the mouse to coax your craft to blow up enemies while not inconveniently crashing into a tree.

Play it on: #Archimedes, #Amiga, #PC
