RL_Dane, 9 months ago to asklemmy in How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?

@NABDad @Provider

Usenet, random FTP sites, and wonderful (but slow) Archie. :)

I think there was a Jughead and Veronica, too, but I never knew what those were for.

RL_Dane, 10 months ago to linux in Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb?

@REdOG

IBM: We poured money and resources into Linux before 99% of the business world had even heard of it. We helped make it great. Why shouldn't we require a return on that investment?

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I think IBM/RH is bone-headed as heck and are now inexcusable violators of the GPL, and other licenses.

I knew they were going to break RH and make it something abominable.

But they were there at the very beginning of the 2000s, promoting Linux heavily. (Not altruistically, of course)
