Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351  In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352

Snapper saved my ass so hard last night! I’ve tried all the other major distros and TW is where I stayed.

IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.

Never understood what kind of an idiot you have to be to choose coal over nuclear. Absolutely bonkers.

It’s true. You don’t deserve what’s happening. You put up a good fight, and now you’re hosed. I’m so sorry this is going to happen to you. I sincerely hope you find a way out.

Eh, the ocean taking Florida will be a net gain for humanity. I’m looking forward to watching all those republican voters lose their houses.

Anyone with half a brain was looking at projected sea level rise before buying a house, so… ya. Byeeeeee Florida, you won’t be missed.

They do be that stupid!

Hawkeye was a flirt, not a rapist. He took a lot of no’s with grace.

Really? I loved it! But, I know literally nothing about the source material.

Or at home on LSD.

Really? I just couldn’t get past how stupid the characters were. It blew all immersion for me.

To be fair, it was very very pretty.

So much! Movies don’t have to be deep, or meaningful, or insightful, to be good. (Though, obvs, they can be those things, too)
All they need to be is entertaining.

Ya, perhaps. Time has taught my optimistic ass to be a pessimist where the IDF is involved. Or conservatives. Or… you know… People. ;)

You expect too much of the IDF.

So if a terrorist broke in to your home, locked you, your wife, and your kids in the basement, then launched a rocket from your bedroom window, you’d be 100% OK with the IDF turning your house in to rubble and your family in to compost? Really? Get a fucking grip, buddy.

Do we need AI for this? It’s already super easy to tell fake news from real.

Is it on BBC/CBC/Routers/AP? It’s probably real.

Is it on Forbes/Facebook/Xitter? It’s probably garbage.

Doctorow is a gem. Great article, thanks for posting. I basically agreed with everything he said.

My point was that Kamala (and the dems) /also/ do evil, and thats why some morons didn’t vote.

But I absolutely agree that it’s orders of magnitude less evil than Trump.

They dehumanized themselves. Nothing wrong with recognizing that.

Leftist with brains did vote for her, because the recognized that the only other option was worse. Now we get worse because hardliners are too stupid to cope with the lesser evil. Morons.
