Actually, Trump is not a singular cause. He was not the first. Back under reagan, he killed a great deal of our civilian oriented R&D saying that private business can do it , while moving some to DARPA. Thankfully, DARPA still funded basic science.
Then W did more cuts, but pushed a lot of DARPA spending in UNI over to companies and forced cuts in basic science.
Biden also did major changes and pushed funding to go from merit based to DEI.
Trump is just a continuation of this and not even the worst ( reagan or W were the worst ).

Users have only been asking for this since Vista...

That "someone" was Maureen O'Gara. She was trying to find PJ's identity, probably to discredit her.

Having actually RTFA for once... I was looking at where Mark was noting his first email address.

I remember those days -- pre internet, so you had to give the route (...!ucbvax!ucscb).
We also had write (and for see as you type, "rite") on our PDP-11/70, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why I'd use email instead of write. It took a while before I realized the value of asynchronous communication.

But yes, those were the days.

Finally! Someone I can tell to get off my lawn with those hot grits!

I waited for quite a while. I figured it wasn't necessary. Otherwise I probably would have had a 4 digit ID as well.

I am shocked, SHOCKED! That AI didn't preserve institutional knowledge.

I remember a time when any stupid idea that you could put ".com" on would get shit tons of investor money. The only thing it produced mostly was bankruptcies and the opportunity for small companies to buy needed equipment for pennies on the dollar. This AI craziness strikes me the same way. AI can be useful but it'll never be the "be all things", they rarely to live up to the hype. I've seen it too many times, the dotcom boom-bust, nano-technology, Ruby on rails; anyway COBOL had a good run.

Only reason I have LI is because I got access prior to public release back in 2003. I got laid off and my manager recommended it.

Don't you watch For All Mankind? Everyone there uses a Zune instead of iThings.

But that's what they told POTUS because he'd brag about means and methods.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it does.

Remember, whenever you think you are useless and your job sucks, there's some poor bastard in Germany, who is putting turn signals on BMWs.

Poorly stated by OP.
