President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.
āJust like we drew it up,ā Biden posted on X alongside a photo of āDark Brandon,ā the meme created by hardcoreāand very onlineāsupporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.
The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas Cityās favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
You can argue about this all day long. The web was invented on a Next computer, created by Steve Jobs, written in C or maybe C++, also invented by Americans.
Point is, a thousand different things had to come together from all over the world to create the modern Internet. I donāt think itās accurate to say only one entity was responsible for it.
Edit: A gigantic amount of the Internet and its infrastructure runs on an OS written by a dude from Finland.
Unless that entity is Al Gore.
Heh. AI Gore. My font doesnāt differ on l and I.
Al Gore funded the internet.
Objective-C was the native programming language for the NeXTSTEP exnvironment when developing using Project Builder, the precursor to XCode.
while C and C++ could be used in Obj-C projects (painfully, sometimes), NeXTSTEP apps themselves had to be written/compiled in Obj-C.
edit: this was pretty much the case after they were aquired by Apple and running all the way until 2014 when Apple invented Swift, an evolutionary step beyond Obj-C. macOS (the evolution of NeXTSTEP) can now execute binaries built with Swift and Obj-C nativley.
the what now? Is this about those monkeys that went into space and came back super-intelligent?
