They have a series on Gates too.
The answer to OPs question is that these people they admired were just as bad, just better at PR. Unless you think that social media has had some kind of positive effect in outing these newer bastards. Being young and naive may also have been a factor (which I can personally attest to since I was a fan of MS back in the 90s before I learned about them).
Dual booted for the longest time, until sometime last year. Windows partition is still there, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten the password. 😳
But we're not in the correct-information-only age. There's a lot of noise to filter out, and most people aren't trained well enough to do that (i.e. critical thinking). I think that we may need to address that issue before things improve significantly at the political level.

Weird, the link works for me. :/
Oh, I've certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.
Thanks. I've tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It's been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.
Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not "political science"). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here's my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php
Jupiter was declared too big to fail.
I think a TARDIS can do that.

Swamp thing was what came to mind for me.
