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

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

This isn’t talked about enough.

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

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week 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 4 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

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

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

They make chips for missiles.

[-] troybot@midwest.social 33 points 1 week ago

Knowing IBM, probably something to do with Nazis

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Probably inflicting Websphere on some company.

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

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".

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

[-] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week 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.

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