Figured some of you fedi retrocomputing small web type people will appreciate this rant that appears in an Iskra record insert alongside a list of online anarchist resources.

"In the long run, computer databases are far cheaper than buying expensive books. Perhaps there will soon be people who have the knowledge to build their own computers just as many people today are constructing their own programs. Computers in the hands of people with non oppressive ethics and morals are handy to have."

@mart0 i so want this to be a thing. we totally had a path where “building the computational circuits is as easy as compiling a program”, but we branched away from that to chase better performance. people forget that the core rope memory we used to get to the moon with Apollo was woven by hand… not to be too cliche 😉
