Hacking the Holocaust 

'Remember as you say punch nazis, WWII resistance heroes also smuggled and hid refugees, deleted refugee data, lied to cops, broke the law.'

'As fast as IBM used computers to update census data to round up Jews, ordinary people manipulated, deleted data, forged docs to save lives.'

'Remember this, engineers: you don't have to break the law, but giving users control of their data can help them save lives when they must.'

BoJack Horseman - S03 

This whole season, I've been thinking that there were a lot of very sitcom-ish episodes... and then it looks like everything will be summed up nice and neat like a sitcom episode....

But I know there's a fourth season. I'm honestly a little terrified of that fact, because now I'm going to _have_ to watch it to see what happens.

Today's Underappreciated Unicode Codepoint: 


U+2003 EM SPACE

Have you ever wanted to indent a line in an environment that lacked proper formatting commands? Sure, we all have! But a tab is too wide, if you can even use one at all, and multiple spaces at the start of a sentence are often stripped completely out. Have no fear, the em‑space is here!
 Just plop one in before the first sentence of a paragraph, and you instantly have an indent that survives any Unicode-friendly system.
 Cheers!

tired: Complaining that everything's all about touchscreen keyboards these days.

wired: Watching my wife successfully type her phone's password with the tip of her nose.

inspired: "Gee, babe, you really put the 'wipe' in 'Swype'."

Fortunately, my browser history came through quickly enough. Whew!

Dear Future Keet:

When you find resources for a project, be sure to note where you found them. Even if you're pretty sure you got everything you needed, you never know when you may have to revisit the project, and ten seconds of copying and pasting a URL will save you a great deal of embarrassment and frustration later.

With love,
Present (a.k.a. Past) Keet

Hey US trans people:

If you're tired of getting deadnamed by PayPal, just change it into a business account, no actual company required.

Then you can use whatever name you want. You'll see your deadname on login, but no one else will when they give you money.

Bad joke about PNW families and Drugs 🍃

@egypturnash @zebratron2084 Okay, you folks get credit for the development of the Belt spiders in the 12Fold/13Ribbons settings, but you gotta give props to @literorrery for giving them a name that's too perfect:

Tesserachnids.

If someone suddenly made me a squidkid, I would be okay with that

Hey lovely people of the fediverse! Have you read the Copenhagen Letter?

CLU was right.

It's days like this I'm tempted to make and wear a tee-shirt that reads simply, "IVO SHANDOR WAS RIGHT".

Political, health services, furore, strong language. 

You know how sometimes a physician has to do something apparently harmful to reduce harm overall? Like, say, amputating an unrecoverable limb, or providing euthanasia to the terminally ill?

When do we start applying that to the parasitic motherfuckers who would gladly prolong illness and misery in any number of people simply to make sure their stock prices go up?

*reads up* Wait, assisted suicide is still illegal in 43.9 states? WHAT THE F—

Ooh, here's a good one from the TOS at virtru.com/terms-of-service/ :

2.2 Restrictions. You shall not, without the prior written consent of Virtru:
[...]
(g) perform, or release the results of, benchmark tests or other comparisons of the Materials or Virtru Basic Services with other programs or services

*laughs* So you can't even compare it to others to see who sucks worst.

Oops, I think I violated 2.2(d) just by quoting that bit. *snickers*
