Auschwitz Memorial Oct 12, 2023

We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum

Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.

It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.

@histoftech Interesting to note that the % of CS undergrads in the UK who are women (from the UK) has been on the slow decline over the past decade.

its probably not a big deal that giant corporations are building a world where programming the computer sitting in front of you is impossible without access to giant centralized data centers and subscriptions to centralized services this is probably what progress looks like probably
