A whole generation of people who don't know how horrible Microsoft was. Two decades later, people are still bitter. The amount of great tech that got stifled.... SMH.

Not GNUStep. They are the absolute worst. Miguel de Icaza tried to work with them, and had to leave to create Gnome.

Look at where they are and where Gnome is now.

Saddest story in all of open source.

You should look elsewhere (even google) for advice or to understand cryptocurrencies. Avoid at all costs this site (extremely uninformed negativity) and YouTube (extremely uninformed shillers).

I don't know what "discourse" you are talking about. I've been reading about crypto on hacker news before bitcoin hit one dollar. Other than r/buttcoin and yahoo groups, this site has been one of the most anti crypto places you can visit, to the point of being an absolute embarrassment.

It has been a lesson to me about humans and intelligence since that time.

Still love the place though, but I learned never to let comments be the source of the things I need to investigate.

A lot of “decent” people here would testify against their mother if the SEC showed up. I’m not convinced. Gensler is a fraud who is captured by monied interests. He is on your side for now, given that many here share the “MIT crypto teacher” desire to destroy that industry. Let’s see how it all plays out.

The burden is on SEC to prove these allegations. If they took YOU to court, calling YOU a thief, you would expect the burden to be on them, right?
