@ksaj Nah. Just more idiots writing programs.

Programming has not changed a thing since it was invented.

@hayley Now I wonder who will report another compiler bug that depended on this .. hehe 😉

@farcaller 😃

@farcaller No, it did not, Emacs was created in 1976.

@farcaller As a Emacs user for 40 years, I still have a very bare-bones .emacs. It just sets my name, and email address. The default Emacs settings are great for the most part.

CT-ADA for #LispM #LispMachine is being restored this Sunday. #CADR for the win.

@eviltofu Yes, https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/cobol-mode.html

@larsbrinkhoff @amszmidt

So the peak of the art form was the VT52?

(Especially the bell, which people described as the sound of grinding the gears on a 1950s manual transmission car.)

Hear me out, friends. I'm going somewhere.

In the #HarryPotter universe, there are few or no good, rich characters. The rich wizards are all Death Eaters; those with political power (the Ministers of Magic (at least until 2019), Dolores Umbridge) are all stupid or evil or both.

@osi Did you inform these 50 maintainers of how you refuse to publish the unredracted 2025 election results? That hundreds of #FOSS hackers have signed a petition for you to do so, including several foundational organizations -- @gnome @debian? https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025 #OSI #OpenSource #OpenSourceInitiative

@osi Project governance also means not hiding. Where are the full 2025 election results? https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025 #FOSS #OSS #OpenSource

@weekend_editor @larsbrinkhoff The photo by James J. Dempsey
of a CADR TV display doing Hollerith card editing is the peak of everything.

@weekend_editor Think is .. SUPDUP is not a terminal _emulator_?! :-) (I feel excluded .. why not ask #LispM hackers .. boom!)

@larsbrinkhoff

@mikemcquaid Can you help putting pressure on the @osi to publish the unredracted 2025 election results that the #OSI have refused to publish despite calls from the #FLOSS #FOSS #OSS community? https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025 the #OpenSourceInitiative has published the results since the start, but this year they refuse to be transparent in their election process. @downey @richardfontana @bkuhn

xterm is the only usable terminal emulator.

@TomasHelleberg Borde absolut åka upp igen! Gick på dagis vid Ålidhem. Och smet in på Skogis för att leka med datorer. :-)

I hope #Harvard has enough balls to fight.

@TomasHelleberg Det var det, men långt efter min tid där .. inte varit i Ume sen tjugo eller trettio år :-(
