During WWII Kay McNulty was one of the women who devised processing routines for the ENIAC machine, establishing how artificial intelligence developed. At the public launch in 1946 the women programmers were relegated to the role of hostesses. www.dib.ie/biography/mc...

Just a reminder that ALL members of the military and the Secret Service PLEDGE LOYALTY TO THE CONSTITUTION, not a person, to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic".

How many take that oath seriously? Maybe they should.

Just migrated my password manager from the original bitwarden to a self-hosted vaultwarden.

Why are MPD officers protecting ICE? ICE have guns. Protect the people, we citizens and neighbors.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Feels like it would be an ideal time for a lot more #NoKings action. What's up with the silence on that front? Hows about a nice big one at the capital. Put the fear of the people into them?

Blow this up big and watch it full screen. The ICE piece of shit clearly has time to square his body to take the shot. This isn't something you do if you're in fear of being hit by a car. Had he simply moved the car wouldn't have touched him. Instead he took time to square up. Well aimed murder.

Hey #Linux folks it's me. I'm sorry I'm me too.

Anyway, if you use Linux on a distro with Pipewire and Flatpak and you find your audio is a little flat, or perhaps your speakers don't come with EQ, check out JamesDSP to gain some extra control of your audio.

This Amazon Prime Video season selector is madness. Default to the bottom option, show 3 maximum (4k pixels to work with), no indicator there are even other options, and scroll up?

Wheel reinvented I guess. 🙄

Wow, @signal.org why can't I link a tablet? I assume the idea was to prevent side channel by linking another "mobile" device but we live in a world of laptops, cyberdecks, and steam decks. If the attacker has access to the main device this arbitrary limitation isn't stopping them.
