I have read this a hundred times and it's still as beautiful as the day I first read it.

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?

It's not socially acceptable anywhere in the urban places but in rural places it can a quite a problem.

I have lived my entire life in a urban city without any discrimination whatsoever, but I have also heard of rural places where they would literally burn people alive for intercaste marriage.

One of the main reasons it's not extinct yet is because people love to take "pride" in their caste. There are plenty of songs dedicated to "jatt" people, people of a higher caste. "Khatris" are often glorified in movies for fighting. You can see the problem is same as if white people started making songs on "being white and proud" and Britishers claiming victory in ww2 because they were "white". It's absurd and I have felt the pain but I am thankful for the present situation and I suppose it's better than being burnt alive haha.

Yes there is reservation and that's absurd too, imagine if "black" people were allowed reservation for jobs in government.

Purely in technical terms, this meme doesn't really fit unless they start running literally from the edge.

While and do while are equal except for the very first test. So if the very first test does not evaluate to false, they are essentially same. In the meme that implies they started running sometime before reaching the edge, that runs the "run()" atleast once and later on for every run it would be checked and it would be false at the cliff edge.
