I don’t know whether or not it is because I frequently read but those who enjoy arguing and debating but don’t actually read things to form their rebuttals and revel in their own personal ignorance concern me.

Meredith Whittaker

Just started reading, and I'm amazed how little this side of computing history has been covered before. Hadn't seen almost any practically mainstream stories about why logic machines were built, as a lot of (commercial) history is often prettified by hiding the facts. Thank you for writing about it!

One my most ardent beliefs given the impending Kaiser Permanente strike is that all medical education should be free to receive. We shouldn’t have medical employee shortages and there shouldn’t be medical dis/incentives to heal people.

If they allow dms it should by default automatically use the Signal Protocol and all dms and group chats should be e2e encrypted by default

anyone who’s tried to support legacy software past its original author’s departure should very readily believe that when witches die, their spells stop working

Florida's reviews of an AP African American Studies course revealed how the state objected to lessons about slavery, saying the instructional approach “may lead to a viewpoint of an ‘oppressor vs. oppressed’ based solely on race or ethnicity" www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...

this mic still work?

On the contrary it’s the minimization of France’s(and western Europe’s) neocolonial presence on the continent that has supported unethical resource extraction, chaos, and coup d’etats that’s the real problem.

Noticed this too when people were minimizing Wagner’s presence on the continent given one of their core functions is to support and create chaos
