The Fascist camp of Hitler grew and fed itself on the social decay and on the refusal of the working class leaders to translate their words into action. The unemployed, the youth who had never had jobs, the ruined middle class – all the demoralized and declassed sections of the population – served as the reservoir from which Hitler drew his support.

@solderpunk I am planning a gopher zine :)

Ah fixed my #qmk bootloader issue... Why are people constantly changing things for the sake of changing things...

@ajroach42 One thought that came to mind when reading this again: Although the concepts where foreign, the explanation treats the reader as a grown up human that wants to use a tool.

I need to learn more about #scuttlebutt

Same for sed...

Dear non english native ppl. How do you deal with the language barrier (to english) when trying to #teach #programming to #children?

That's rather disappointing. While intel patches my processor, Lenovo does not care for their old product lines and do not issue a BIOS update...
