Today's personal section is anchored by two pieces on disability advocacy, one tying mail-in voting access to the upcoming election and another profiling a policy consultant. A practical guide on debloating Windows 11 also stands out for its utility. The rest are lighter tech tips and a brief personal note.
Two pieces today center on the lived experience of disability and the policy work that supports it.
Nick Papadopoulos makes a clear case that mail-in voting isn't a convenience issue for disabled voters, it's a lifeline. The piece frames Trump's executive order as a direct threat to that access, tying a personal story to a national policy fight.
A profile of Nicole LeBlanc, a disability policy advocate with nearly two decades of experience. The piece is a press release, but it surfaces someone working on the policy side of the same issues the ACLU piece covers on the ground.
A pair of how-tos offer practical fixes for common annoyances: a bloated Windows install and a smudged phone screen.
A step-by-step guide to stripping Microsoft's bloat and tracking from Windows 11. Covered by two outlets today, which suggests this is a perennial pain point that readers keep searching for fixes to.
A short explainer on why an oleophobic coating matters for screen protectors. Not groundbreaking, but useful if you're shopping for one and didn't know the term.
