I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

Thanks.

Recently leaked emails from Fauci's "gang" specifically mention that the virus is RatG13 + 6 inserts from HIV that appear nowhere else in nature. Source? NIH. And you call me scum?

You're proving me correct. The fact that I was able to even post a first was partly what I was lamenting. Also there's an anti science and evil streak coming in, perfectly illustrated by the fact that you want me to die in a fire. Look at my UID you cunt, I've been here nearly as long as you have. I usually post factual content and get modded troll these days, it is a disgrace, not seeking knowledge, seeking to bully and cajole free thinkers.

Slashdot is lame these days

It really gets the new world order shills crying when worthless stoners prove them wring by buying CO2 for the grow room. Its plant food you lying commies, and the increased weed yield is living proof! To quote Dawkins, science is what works, not what you make up using your clkmate models!

I noticed a sly interjection of vaccines there, again, the proof is now in that the covid vaccines don't stop the spread, and have created mutations which affect the vaccinated more than the unvaccinated. Nows the time for the other side of both arguments to admit defeat and stop tyrannising people over a flu, and a climate that we are not responsible for changing.

I was going to write a trolly post about my GTX 980ti AC OC whatever letters after it's name, which I got for 80 pounds 2 years ago, and gloat a bit.

I felt bad so I wrote this instead, I'm sorry about the damn GPU shortage, all the games don't run on anything less than this and it's faster than the 1650 2650 etc. It's awful, and it's partially because of this stupid Bitcoin fad which will come to nothing except a digital prison and track and trace system after making a few people very rich. Oh well.

This an outright lie, about science, motivated by politics. Lets talk furrin cleavage sites and spike proteins, shall we? Swedish scientists already proved it, they made Covid19 from RatG13 + HIV spike protein + furrin cleavage site at 261. They then used the Pfizer vaccine in culture to create the Indian variant, as it was called at the time. Delta. The result is identical to the ones in the wild. Another coincidence? So stop lying. Do your research.

I am not sure you would want to be Gates right now, with the leaks coming and his links to he who did not kill himself... that's before we start on the dodgy b and m g foundation and it's funding and fraud and ultimate responsibility for the current crises and profiting from them massively. Who do you think funds the world economic forum, communist think tank for globalist communism? Lol are you a troll?

If your hobby is stealing drones which you can't openly fly, and which cannot be sold except maybe cheaply for parts, then you are probably doing it to annoy or destroy the MegaCorp. In which case, destroying said drones would be more cost effective and less time consuming for you...

Rust isn't better for anything, it's a childish scripting language with functions for everything and the kitchen sink, and it performs worse than Visual Basic. Name something for which it is needed other than lining the pockets of IT companies. Nothing worthwhile is written first in Rust and it's just another buzzword used to sell services and server rental, not a practical choice for development. It's worse than PHP, even.
