<p>If you&#39;ve in any way been connected to the Brown CS department you know Tom Doeppner. Now he&#39;s retiring after 48 years. What a run.<br /><a href="https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025/03/tom-doeppner-founding-member-of-browns-cs-department-to-retire-after-48-years" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">browndailyherald.com/article/2</span><span class="invisible">025/03/tom-doeppner-founding-member-of-browns-cs-department-to-retire-after-48-years</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Different strokes for different folks. </p><p>Unfortunately, for eastern folks like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Occupied Papua, Twitter/X still way to go. People ranting, complaining, share stuff there. Also there&#39;s a lot of information about Occupation of Papua can be found freely on Twitter/X than in anywhere else. </p><p>For western folks, yes, Twitter/X is a dumpster fire, but for Eastern .... it depends and many still find it useful.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> so sorry this happened to you, the incident itself, the betrayal of the &quot;friend&quot; and their reaction. take care</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> It really boils down to selfishness, and willful ignorance of how one&#39;s choices affect the world.</p>

<p>anyway if you *do* one or both of those things, it would do you well to say &quot;sorry&quot; about it instead of being self-righteous and claiming you did the right thing obviously. Fucking cunt</p>
