Without fail, every time I boost a post about discrimination on the fedi, I end up seeing a bunch of white guys trying trying to minimize it and telling the original poster why they're wrong and/or being unreasonable.
I'm getting the impression that just maybe the people complaining about this aren't making it up or something.
Weird, right?

A while ago on a whim, I did a somewhat deep dive into the abacus. I thought it would be interesting to learn about a device that is sometimes credited as an ancestor of the modern computer.
I've come to be of the opinion that it's not really a fair comparison though. An abacus is not a computer... at least not a full-fledged computer. It doesn't compute anything. Your brain does that. I think it is fair however to compare it to memory, though.
An abacus is essentially an array of memory cells. Instead of storing bytes, it stores digits, but that's a trivial distinction. You even have to allocate those memory cells to accommodate the structure of the data you are operating on, just like you would with the memory in a computer.
