I named* my first self-built computer after him! Does this make that machine gay? They put chemicals in the bytes that turn the friggin' hardware gay!

*call me a weirdo but I do often name stuff like household appliances and my trees.

Oh sorry I thought it was homebrew as in built from logic gates. Cool machine anyways

Fair - what I said was kind of ambiguous. But yeah, "self-built" as "I bought a computer-of-Theseus 20y ago, and as I've bought new parts nothing of the original remains, so it's a new computer."
