Keynote: Illegitimi non carborundum
summary
Brings concrete milestones: Apple chooses OpenGL over 3Dfx in 1998, John Carmack helps implement full‑screen GL contexts, and OpenGL on macOS attracts games and visualization tools; early multimedia bands built MIDI controllers, a radio‑filled “MIDI ball,” and a real‑time puppet character on SGI using PZO crystals that actually worked live; Meetup implements proactive moderation models removing supremacist groups from the platform and ships new features like Meetup Ideas to support inviting participation.
