fun fact: IBM asked for, and got, an exception from that clause.

I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don't want to name, so will just say it's initials - IBM. He also authorised usage for IBM "and it's minions".

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, IIRC they did work with the Nazis to manage concentration camps and more

Did they reveal what the evil task they were using it for was?

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago

They make chips for missiles.

[–] troybot@midwest.social 31 points 1 day ago

Knowing IBM, probably something to do with Nazis

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably inflicting Websphere on some company.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 70 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess they'll use JSON when they're building the database to do the next holocaust.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

This isn’t talked about enough.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

So do I have to look it up now? Ugh, but I am le tired

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 35 minutes ago

Take ze nap and then fire ze missiles!

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 12 hours ago

It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

TL:DR: IBM sold machines to the Nazis that they used to track down people to put into concentration camps. It would've been harder to do if they had to rely on paper records only.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Jeez, hard to imagine them not having been paper. Sometimes it's easy to forget. Kind of like the IRS using computers older than some senators, and that's saying something.

man we programmers can be so naive sometimes

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Binged (the search engine) and binged (the eating disorder/content consumption method) look identical and this fucks me up.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

That's what Binging with Babish ran into early on I believe. Not sure he is still around, his early stuff was fun though

[–] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Homographs are wild. I wish I could be around in a thousand years when scholars are arguing over interpretations of every day English sentences; especially idioms.
