Just an old geek. Learned about computers on a CARDIAC (CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation). Then the math teacher at HS got an old Navy surplus computer with drum memory. It had a high speed optical paper tape reader. From there it was BASIC, Cobol, FORTRAN, CMS-2Y, Jovial, Ada. Did some Java and C but never got that good. In retirement learning Rust.
Note: the main picture is from the B-24 my father was co-pilot on in the South Pacific

đș PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
If a post doesn't apply to you, there is no need to tell the poster that it doesn't apply to you. No one cares. They aren't keeping a list of who it doesn't apply to.
If someone posts "Buckle up when you drive" and you don't drive... you don't need to reply.
If someone says "Bake the bread at 375f" and you don't bake... you don't need to reply.
Follow this simple rule and you can help make the Fedi a better place for everyone!
Thank you.
Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. Thatâs effectively whatâs begun happening online in the last few months.

When I say the #Fediverse is driven by the people I really mean that
I noticed that the people who have the least to spend are the biggest supporters in the Fediverse
While I also host one of the bigger politicians account(s) who often speak about fairness never contributed a dime
Don't get me wrong, it's not a requirement at all but it does say a lot!
Never ever apologize for helping out, no matter how "small" because small is always huge 
All this because of those Epstein files. It must suck to be injured or killed for a political distraction, or to lose family members in the military because of it.
