Wouldn't this make computers, software and the people who create them the ultimate racist?

Projection?

Anyway, I'm for boycotting Microsoft, Linux is way more than adequate for everyday use and it's free. Companies that over charge for buggy and purposely neutered software are the enemy of the people.

Imagine if Microsoft only hired people who can't formulate algorithms.

They probably outsource their work, buy it, or outright steal it from someone else. The original product MS had was its BASIC programming language. After that, Bill Gates made a real stink about "unauthorized copying" of his stuff in the Open Letter to Hobbyists which kicked off the modern software copyright regime.

It seems that there's a lot of Merger & Acquisition growth in MS's past. Bill Gates bought a cheap knockoff of CP/M to edge out DR-DOS. Excel was based on a product from Apple. Windows is a clone of Xerox PARC ideas. MS used the BSD licensed TCP/IP stack for its internet backend. There's references to the NSA in some of MS's Cryptography DLLs.

More recently, they bought up services like LinkedIn and GitHub.

It makes you wonder how much of their stuff is truly original.

Maybe they should encourage vulnerable PoC to get an education instead of making everything easier. The curriculum is a joke compared to what Asian students go through. Western kids must be at least up to par at math considering math is the foundation of everything.

Tell that to my black 8th algebra teacher. She was brutal about showing your work.

It’s high time we just all stop caring about these quacks. Spend time building things, jobs and communities.

Mmm. Can't wait until I'm in a hospital and a nurse gives me the wrong dosage because she is incapable of doing basic math
