The first computers were mostly women so... (originally being a computer was a profession which basically meant being paid to do calculations.)

The image is a painting titled "Woman at a window, Mechelen, 1816" by the Belgian artist Frans Vervloet. Superimposed is the text "1816: Woman Operates Windows."
Also Ada Lovelace wrote the first modern computer programm in 1843
That is true. Lovelace and Margaret Hamilton are both great women in computing. Arguably up there with babage and turing but not nearly as well known.
No no no. Silly! Women were tied to stakes and burned as witches if they were discovered to know how to do math.
And speaking of which, I'm surprised a return to that wasn't part of project 2025.
Actually only two "witches" were burned, about 70% were acquitted and almost the rest were hanged. That's atleast true in England, don't know about the figures for the US.
As evidence of the computers comment here's Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)
Windows weren't a fully fledged OS back then, only a weather widget.
Also a very local chat program.
i'd kill a man for this window
She clearly did, the skull is on the bottom shelf.
If she can pick grapes from her window and have a view like that, clearly worth it.
I actually recognize the streets in the window (I studied and worked in Mechelen for years).
Window is open ,and it still works ,
NO BSOD ?🤣
