the 588th Night Witches were a squad of russian bomber women who earned their name Nachthexen from the nazis because they would fly by night, turn off their goddamn engines to swoop in their outdated planes (often crop-dusters), whoosh over the target making this amazing sudden "witch's broom" RRSSSSH sound and manually eject bombs on german targets. they sometimes used their chart pencils as eyeliner and did not use radios and minimal metal so they couldn't be detected. No parachutes, no nothin. fuckin' ride or die. Marina Raskova assembled and trained this all-female team of fighters, many of whom were rewarded prestigious medals and in total over thirty thousand missions were completed. Thirty pilots were lost. They were hated and feared by the nazis who would receive high honors if they could actually take down one of the Night Witches and also assumed they had been experimented on so they could see in the dark. uh sorry, douchebags. but the witches are just better than you.

More than 400 pages of internal Chinese documents detail the origins and growth of the indoctrination program in Xinjiang, where a million or more predominately Muslim minorities have been held in a vast network of detention centers https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-xinjiang-documents.html

Chinese authorities have corralled as many as a million ethnic Uighurs, Kazakhs and others into internment camps and prisons over the past three years.

Full document, note the euphemistic terms they use: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-detention-directive.html

Google/Microsoft/Apple's push to make all software "cloud"-based seems really anti-user to me. Setting aside any privacy concerns, it makes software inconveniently slow and gives me more passwords to remember!

I really notice this when comparing Apple's AppStore (a "hybrid" web/native app) to elementary's AppCenter (an offline AppStream-compliant database).

Libraries are honestly saving me so much money right now.
Thank you libraries. I can't afford all these damn books.

I think Wine (and emulators in general) are going to be key for keeping control of our computers from being wrestled away from us. Personal Computing (not just PCs but computing in general) is being subsumed by cloud providers and subscription models and I for one am not about to give up the idea of Personal Computing.

If there's anything that I've learned from 30+ years in computing is that corporate interests are never in the users long-term interests. Ever.

Elizabeth Warren was asked how she would respond to a person who says that marriage is "between one man and one woman"...

"I'm going to assume it's a guy who said that, and I will say, then just marry one woman… Assuming you can find one" Warren said.

BAM! 😆👍

I’ve been out of work since March and my youngest sister is having her wedding at the end of October. It’s in Texas and traveling there from Oregon is a big feat especially with my disabled partner. So I’m raising money to go see her. We need about $1500 to comfortably make the trip. Boosts and donations are all equally appreciated! (Going to be posting this for a while)
