As the son of a Holocaust survivor who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz where my mother lost dozens of her family; as an MP under Mandela who introduced the 1st motion on the Holocaust in the history of the SA Parliament I can state unequivocally that @FranceskAlbs is no more an antisemite than Mandela was a racist. This is a pathetic ploy by the US/Israel to deflect attention from their indefensible genocide. The report released by Albanese is a remarkable & crucial document revealing the depth of complicity by major companies in the genocide. To use bogus antisemitism claims to silence legitimate criticism of Israel undermines the real struggle against all racism; & destroys the crucial exhortation of ‘Never Again’ for all humanity

@merterdir Complete UI hell

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Two doctors go to work to assist others.Nine of their kids are killed by an Israeli missile targeting their home. Only surviving child, in critical conditions.

Targeting families in the still-standing buildings: distinguishable sadistic pattern of the new phase of the genocide.

Airbus A320’s primary fly-by-wire computers still use Motorola 68k CPUs.

Fresh off the assembly line in 2025; it’s the same hardware as the original Macintosh.

The *lack* of speculative execution, with a simple in-order core makes it than modern chips! Here's why.

@goodfoodgal No where in the Australian constitution does it say this. Learn what it actually states before making up uncool stories

My favorite pet example of this is the follow button architecture (you better read this because it’s an example of what we hide from you to save you time):

Okay, it’s just a fucking button, you click on it and it inserts a row in the follows table and it changes color, right?

Well:

* What does the button do if the user isn’t logged in? Does it redirect to the login page or silently fail? Does the login page have a mechanism to take you back to the same page the user started from when they first clicked follow? Should they have to click follow again or should the app somehow remember and automatically follow them when they’re logged in?

* What if the user is banned? Can they still follow people if their account is disabled?

* Do we notify the other user they just got followed? How? Do we send an email? Do we have an SMTP server? Do we use a mail SaaS? Is our domain blacklisted on spam lists? Do we do push notifications? Are we collecting APNS tokens? Oh, for Android we need a Firebase project. Are we using Firebase? No? Fuck, we need procurement to approve it. I’ll put a ticket in

* What if a user follows someone on one page but they have 7 different tabs of our app open? Should we do some kind of real time updating system to apply it across their tabs and devices? Do we use WebSockets? SSE? How do we scale that up to 100,000 DAU?

* What if you follow a user and they block you? Do we delete their follow relationship (soft block), or do we show you a blocked page if you try to visit their profile?

* What if YOU block them? Does it unfollow them? Or do you still get their content in their feed?

* Do we show any special labels for mutuals? So on every page load we have to retrieve all your follows and then join that table with all of THEIR follows to find intersections. Hopefully that’s a fast query. Maybe we index this? Maybe we have a cron job run every hour to dump your mutuals into a separate table

* Etc etc. I have to go to dinner so I’ll stop typing. But what I would say here is:

“Oh yeah, follow button, should be easy, just a button and another table, should have it ready by tomorrow”

@Acyn She is extremely stupid! Tarriffs raise the cost for importers who then pass the cost onto consumers. To think it’s anything else places you in la la land
