The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.
Who asked for this? Did y'all ask for this? I don't remember asking for this.

The people with most of the guns are the ones who want this shit. The left in this country disarmed itself and shot itself in the foot, pardon the pun.
It's full of "communists" that blindly excuse every damn thing that states like China and Russia do just because they dress themselves in red, or used to, and oppose everything western in an attempt to be "anti-imperialist", ignoring what Russia is doing to Ukraine at this very moment. Hypocrites and dogmatic ideologues who can't see nuance in anything.

Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.
First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, "Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro."
That's because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots
Einstein: "E = mc^2! We can power our shit cleanly for cheap for thousands of years!"
Humans: "Hehehehe critical mass go boom!"
The world is going to be absolutely fucked when the older engineers and techies who built all this modern shit and/or maintain it and still understand it all retire or die off.
