I suspect you are joking, but the @archive.org takes donations of physical media for software they don't already have. A quick search of their software collection didn't turn up True BASIC. Instructions for donating media to them is here:

The last panel from @gailsimone.bsky.social and @davidmarquez.bsky.social Uncanny X-Men #19 is all we need in these trying tiresome dystopian times. Even just in spirit.

@firefox.com What I really want to know is, who are the Firefox users who DO want GenAI in their browser? Do you have secret feedback channels we don't know about?

With Mozilla's recent commitment to making Firefox an "AI browser", I have sadly made the decision to stop using Firefox. @waterfox.net is the best of the various Firefox forks to switch to immediately, and I will support the Ladybird browser project as they make a truly independent alternative
Some thoughts on Mozilla's trajectory and Waterfox's stance on AI in the browser 👇

I hate that Past Jason was right, but the evidence is hard to dispute. This has been the push I needed to switch away from Firefox. Waterfox looks like the best short term option, until something like Ladybird becomes usable.

You are not listening to "the people" at all. I am going support projects like Ladybird that are building a truly independent browser. But in the meantime, Waterfox looks to be the easiest Firefox fork to switch to, and they officially support Android and Linux.

I have been supporting Mozilla since before Firefox. If you continue to try to force AI into the browser, instead of leaving it as a separate tool that can be used as needed or wanted, I will be abandoning Firefox like so many people before me.

Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood.
E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together."
-“When life hands you lemons…”
-“Great minds…”
-“When in Rome…”
Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'
