Computer science pioneer and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906.
As far as I’m aware, she is the only person who has both a supercomputer and a US Navy destroyer named after her.

#introduction
Hi! I'm a new #tech grad
I currently work on the #Cloud ☁️ #msft specifically in #PowerPlatform mostly building low-code apps while trying to admin the thing for our org
I watch a lot of TV📺 & love learning about #psychology & #biology
Located in 🇨🇦 #Canada
Please boost for visibility
I was using ubuntu as early as this summer and I had not seen this, but apparently it's something everyone knows about. I love that Linux can perform really well AND be slightly non-serious.
When I googled this terminal text and browsed reddit I also learned about `apt moo` :)
House passed it. Republicans blocking it in Senate and Manchin, Sinema stopping Dems from ending filibuster to pass anything.

He perished in the camp on 21 November 1941.

Raspberry Pi, hiring of ex-surveillance policeman
@derickflorian I think there is a difference between a retired cop who goes into something like ministry (as a former colleague did) where there is no connection to enforcement actions, and something like this situation where the cop is transferring survalence know how to the private market.
Hey, there's even going to be a #LinuxOnMobile stand at next @fosdem ! Not sure how much time I'll spend there, but expect to see folks from @mobian @postmarketOS @ubports & more :)

@derickflorian @whalecoiner @lizupton Thing is, there's a big difference between (a) hiring a former surveillance cop and (b) hiring a former surveillance cop and making an excited post about how your new hire was a surveillance cop and isn't that cool
Okay, I really wanted this to die, but @lizupton - comms officer of Raspberry Pi Ltd - is now claiming that the entire #raspberrypi social media drama was actually because her company posted a picture of pigs-in-blankets, and not because they hired an ex-surveillance cop and then acted like dickheads when asked about it. 😱

First to make a few things clear:
I am autistic myself.
And I have a fairly good understanding of what those kids might go through.
What if they actually _like_ analyzing data and all that? Computers be damned, they're just tools, doesn't mean humans can't have a shot at it too.
Sometimes I am hyperfocused myself, then I make ridiculous lists of lists and whatnot. Waste of time? Oh, _absolutely_, you bet! But was it satisfying to me? Oh _yeah_!
They'll have plenty of time to learn how to socialize, but does that mean you need to put them in a fascist regime that only forces them to socialize and never have _fun_?
After one evening of socializing, I'll be _happy_ to have 3 weeks of no human contact. I don't hate humans, it is just that social contact is _utterly exhausting_.
Maybe try to understand _that_.
Guys,
Y'all should probably make a statement about yesterday's kerfuffle.
It's not just the ACAB crowd that are ticked, a lot of people who otherwise like you are pretty mad about how the whole thing was handled.
If you don't believe me, my poll results surprised even me:
Raspberry Pi, hiring of ex-surveillance policeman
For those interested in my take on the Raspberry Pi take…
It seems like ACAB means we should completely remove people who are/were police from society including their means to make a living or further push them away and have them work for companies that are outwardly evil.
And if this person is criminal because of his actions supporting a police state than shouldn’t he be given a chance to re-enter society. I think therefore that Raspberry Pi should also hire a convicted felon to show they are committed to rehabilitating others.
I would much rather have this guy making lightsabers than become an advisor to Palantir or something else. I don’t have any love for active law enforcement officers but keep in mind its the system that is evil and not the individual people.
Note this is just my opinion and you can feel differently, but I will still be buying and using Raspberry Pis.
#RaspberryPi #SurveillanceState #Police and reference to #ACAB
Really proud of myself so far. Got a raspberry pi server set up on my local network and I am in the process of setting it up as secure as my instruction following skills will allow. Then I will try to install minecraft java tonight and maybe see if my 8gb ram model could handle a minecraft bedrock edition on top of it!
It was overkill maybe but I got a “max endurance” microsd designed for security cameras so it can hopefully be more reliable over time.
UsPol, Sinema
Lol Sinema leaving the Dems is the least surprising thing ever. I deregistered as a Democrat anyway, but I still feel glad she is removing the thin veneer of her being a Democrat.
Have fun “independently” advancing the GOPs agenda 🙄
