Fortran, yes. And machine language. In those days, you had to put the boot loader in manually from binary switches on the control panel. Ah, the wonders of non-volatile memory LOL. COBOL and BASIC later and JCL which was job control lang for mainframes.

as in free beer?

Don’t underestimate people, @clubby. I WAS a hippie of the 60s. I got tear gassed in Washington at the protest Jane Fonda attended. I’ve also been programming since I was 14 years old. Do the math and see if you can figure out the language, newbie.

And NO, this was not the America we envisioned! This was also not the America that Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Paine, Ben Franklin, and all the others envisioned. Since JFK, the Republicans have decimated education resulting in the ability to brainwash the idiots who voted for a dictator thinking he was going to lower food and housing prices.

America has jumped the shark.

It’s not complicated. When it becomes more profitable for politicians to help the oligarchs than it does for them to help the working class, things will improve. So pick a politician helping the oligarchs and make it very “unprofitable” for them.

Bitcoin?

Ukrainians are NOT Russians. It doesn’t mean the same thing.

You’re ignoring the “USSR” - acquiring neighbor states to loot also. What if Ukraine and Chechen, etc, want to be left on their own?

I would absolutely love to have an OSM edit app that makes sense. But why are these anti-features part of the app?

1. microsoft maps and their privacy policy
2. sat imaging service that collects data for aggregation (privacy policy again)
3. specific network service (I almost understand this. Is there no other alternative? self-host or foss host?)

It’s only for four months. Putin doesn’t mind how many Russians will die until Trump gets in and tells Ukraine to surrender his buddy.

It’s not the Justice or IRS or even FBI/CIA I worry about. Trump said somewhere that he’d have no problem using the US Military against Americans. He probably already has a plan to replace all the generals who might have a conscience or be loyal to the consititution (and not him).
