@Edent however, you didn't make a note on the very unique part of this change, which is that Gargron basically got back wages for his years of work on Mastodon. That's extremely unusual; Open Source developers often only have a chance to maybe someday get a submarket full-time job supporting their project (and usually to add Enterprise features). I hope it represents a change in that direction too.
@Edent all of which is a prelude to saying that the History of England Podcast is great for people like me who don't know the difference between a Plantagenet, a Rump Parliament and a peasant revolt.
@Edent if you get into the 20th century, it can sometimes get as far as:
- Meanwhile, back in Europe, things had really gone off the rails! Fortunately, America came in to fix it! - Then it went *really* bad! So we had to fix it again! - Now, we just fix everything, and it's better for everyone. The end!
What helped me deliver my RetroChallgence 2024 project on time? Prior experience with the Interlisp API of NoteCards and the nature of Lisp and Lisp systems.https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/how-lisp-helped-my-retrochallenge-2024-project#RC2024 #RetroChallenge #retrocomputing #interlisp #NoteCards
25 settembre 1973#accaddeoggiA Toronto la Micro Computer Machines presenta l’MCM/70, tra i primi personal computer, ideato dal professore Mers Kutt con Intel. Uscito nel 1974, fu adottato da Nasa, Chevron e dall’esercito USA, ma la mancanza di fondi ne decretò il declino di fronte a Commodore PET e Apple II. Nel 2011 il libro di Zbigniew Stachniak ne ha riportato alla luce la storia.@computer Fonte: https://tinyurl.com/5cer7c52#retrocomputing #retrocomputer #retroinformatica
