Sorry, but this is a bit silly. #Lisp is from the 1950s, C from the 1970s, the first word processors from the 1970s ... and I'm certain that the ideas behind them preceded them by many years.
It's a matter of record that the computer programme #GNU #Emacs was first developed in the mid 1980s, but to simply call it "1980s software" you know to be utterly misleading.

Elon Musk doesn't make cars. Elon Musk does not make rockets or space vehicles.
Elon Musk is a parasitical member of a parasitical class.

@GeofCox It's always an annoyance when some "historian" or commentator says something along the lines of "Well, Hitler was voted into power ..."
No he wasn't, the Nazis did not win any national election.

@jensorensen@mastodon.social A "bloody disaster" for who? Not the war industry, or those whose of the capitalist class who depend upon military action to defend their interests.
These imperialist wars don't happen for no reason.

@me@edafe.social I already do :-)
Syncthing keeps my desktop and laptop "in sync", including Emacs settings. It also hadles photos from my phone, and other videos, audio files and files etc. between phone/tablet/laptop/desktop.
It's ridiculouly useful (oh, I left out a few things I share with other people).
Good grief (I don't use Github btw), but it's like SQL injection never happened:

Sanitise your inputs Github! (not that I care, Github seems to be falling apart atm anyway).
The GitHub situation just got worse...

What if I type rude words on my Debian GNU/Linux CLI?
Should I consider the feelings of BASH?

@cks@mastodon.social I pretty much agree. I commented elsewhere that this guy simply blamed everyone else for his errors & was fundamentally lazy. Railway cannot be held responsible for their customers stupidity.
I, for instance, use a RAID1 box for rsnapshot backups. It's very easy to check and/or restore stuff. It's probably the only backup I'll ever use, BUT, I also have an encrypted backup on an off-site server (that I regularly test), because things *WILL* go wrong.
And I'm not even running a service.
