1987: Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly

2026: replace Unix with #AI , because the REAL dogma is "Thou SHALL use (our!) AI even when it'd be DUMB, and then worship it"

For something about #AI #religion that MAKES sense, read me instead:

THAT IS, break digital monopolies in the right place, which is open FILE FORMATS, before and regardless of #opensource / #freesoftware
