@sean surprised by what happened? I’m reading it’s the same stuff without telemetry. So is it? What else was missing?

I once applied for a job to work for the guy who wrote this!

I wasn't eligible, for reasons related to citizenship and visas, which is a shame.

Is this Canadian-washing? Since when is Amazon a non-USA company? #eatmybeaveramazon

Picture of some AWS stickers on a desk next to a keyboard. The kind of stickers devs put on their laptops to do free publicity for evil companies. One AWS sticker is a Canadian maple leaf and another is a beaver with maple leaf.

@stephanie I’m currently 2-3 chapters into Black Earth which also gives some perspective on this but from an older point of view. In case you might want to read it too. Added your book to my read list #bookstodon https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23995415

Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning

A brilliant, haunting, and profoundly original portrait…
