Bram was maybe unique. He made one of the most popular text editors in the world, improved and maintained it for decades, and he directed people who wanted to pay him for it to a charity that he was deeply involved in, ICCF Holland (International Child Care Fund). I'm not an expert on doing good and living a good life that leaves the world better than you found it, but if Moolenaar's not an example of it, I don't know who would be. I guess that's all I wanted to say. 2/2 https://iccf.nl/index.html

@thomasfuchs I have a 64, 128, and Plus/4. No Vic 20, no 16, and no Amiga (though I owned Amigas the first time around, a 2000 and a 3000, hoping to find a deal on a 1200 some day). I also have a MEGA65, which maybe doesn't count, but is still fun.
I believe I just deleted the first secretly ChatGPT-generated comment on the forum for an OSS project I maintain. It was shaped like an answer, but didn't actually answer the question.

For the masses, not the classes.Born tired. Likes bikes and hikes. Sometimes I work on OSS, other times robots. I remember when computers were good. He/him.Did you alt text your image?
