Known as “St. Jude,” Jude Milhon was born in 1939 and became a self-taught programmer and advocate for civil rights and women in computing. In 1973, she and other hackers created Community Memory in Berkeley, California, a computerized bulletin board that was one of the first public computer network systems. Anyone could post messages on the terminal, which was connected to a mainframe timeshared computer the collective owned in San Francisco.

The Community Memory service offered bulletin boards, messages, classified ads, and more. Some were online extensions of the physical bulletin boards that were an institution in the record store in Berkeley where the terminal was located. Musicians quickly adapted to the machine to post information about concerts, to sell instruments, and connect.

Jude was committed to using her technical and writing skills to encourage women to join the world of computing. “Girls need modems!”

It sucks that people are treating the Reddit blackout as a joke or assuming it’s impotent rage over a minor decision bc it’s Reddit when like. No, a tech company shutting down access to their API by forcing third-party devs to pay completely unreasonable fees ($12,000 per 50 million API requests, which to the largest third party clients would be tens of millions of dollars) and in the process destroying both accessibility apps and moderation tools is Bad Actually
