Just this guy, you know? (He/Him)

Oh, and a Microsoft Data Platform MVP
I had downloaded an Audible plus book without realising it was AI «narrated». And damn, if this hadn’t been a free book I would have been angry.

If this is the future of audiobooks I want no part of it.

The French rail operator SNCF has recently installed new ‘adults-only’ carriages. It’s part of a sad culture of suppressing the young that forgets we were all loud and carefree once, writes Emma Beddington

1 February 1932 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Salomon Levie, was born in Meppel.

In October 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber.

I mean, I didn't leave Deloitte because of the US firm's major bet on Palantir. But I am so glad I left when I did.

Note though, that partner-run orgs such as Deloitte means the local firms don't necessarily agree with what US Deloitte is doing.

Du vil prøve å få noen til å si opp jobben, så da kaller du inn til et møte som heter «Diverse». Du følger opp med å si 1) Du er gammel. 2) Din kone har kreft.

Eighty-one years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

Nå er det ganske nøyaktig ett år siden mange norske medier gjorde all mulig mental gymnastikk for å slippe å slå fast, uten hvis og at og eufemismer, at Elon Musk gjorde en fascisthilsen. Det siste årets hendelser viser med all tydelighet hva som er så viktig med å bruke et ærlig og tydelig språk.

Our bathroom has a curved wall where I wrote code to generate a Tetris design with tiles. We put the tiles up ourselves.
