You're thinking of Shit Jobs, the FruitCo charlatan. Gates' pancake sort algorithm held the speed record for 30 years.

"Who the hell" writes an OS in assembler in the 80s? Uh, some of the utilities are in C, but compilers were slow and generated slow code back then, and it was quite noticable on a slow machine. When every byte of memory counts, you often need to hand-optimize.

His last product was the OS for the Tandy model 100 in 1983.

Yes, I oversimplified a bit. Using blocky:

privacy features

Like my network-wide *.tiktok.com DNS blackhole?

As you said, the younguns don't vote, and the ones dumb enough not to vote for Biden over this weren't going to vote for him anyway. The sooner I never hear the phrase "on TikTok" again, the better.

Gary was robbed. RIP.

Not many STDs. He can't fuck. All his kids are from IVF.

I would pay $56bn to watch him get eaten alive by a bear.

Lol, and the project is slowly trying to force everyone to use it. I'll continue to use core in a venv and manage my own OS, thanks.

Why do you believe this? Because Apple said so? 🤡

I trust them more than my ISP (Verizon). Quad9 is, and I used it for some time as an upstream, but it is markedly slower for me than cloudflare. Those milliseconds add up for an impatient asshole like myself.
