I disproved @ioerror on this back when dejanews was still a thing before Google/AI devoured it.
You can too.
Etymology, try it!
The term is much older than the 1990s. https://twitter.com/oe1cxw/status/1251456105726779393 …
Obviously you are the person who wants to argue, and yelling insults at me and "WORLD MOVED ON TO FLOSS" isn't going to strengthen your argument in the slightest. *plonk*

@google/@alphabetinc *broke* Dejanews circa 2015 (citation attached) so recreating the research I did to demonstrate to@ioerror his stipulation was incorrect and there were references to "open source software" on Usenet prior to FSF (1983) is now hard.pic.twitter.com/DwALAHZezi

That research was done circa 2007/2008. You're beating a dead horse. Moreover, I was friends with Doug Engelbart. I also encountered network computing before TCP flag day. Can you state the same? Or you just like to argue and cite erasure as your defense?

Regardless, unfollowed. I don't need more misinformation in my existence. Go do the research again. I am not going to repeat it for you, nor do I have any hope of rectifying
@Google/@alphabetinc's malfeasance with destroying Dejanews' functionality.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Where did I insult you? Did I state that your mother smelled of elderberries? Or you create straw men for no reason?
