The world is such a sad place to live. This comes from USA, just think about all the third world countries, it's not any better but worse sadly.

Wow that article was a ride. I feel so happy to not have used windows in the past 5 or so years.

When you think about it, it really did change the world for almost a century. It lead to ww1 which sowed the seeds for ww2 and when that came to end, communism had been strengthened enough by stalin capatalizing under the pretence of a nazi free Europe.

I have always been a history enthusiast. Unfortunately, I don't know much about history in the context of computers. I am therefore interested in learning more about significant events and people like Richard stallman and all the related events such as Windows refund day. I am interested to read and explore the timeline, I suppose a book would be ideal but any good resource such as a youtube series would be great too.

Update: I am happy to recieve such wide variety of resources to explore, I hope this post might help someone who is interested in FOSS history in the future too.

 

I am a big history enthusiast and would greatly love to read more about history and big events in the world of linux or FOSS in general. Here's one example: on Feb 15, 1999, the windows refund day event happened, I am interested to read more about such events in detail. Is there a decent book or resource that covers all this in detail?
