The end of Canadian politeness, relative deprivation, right-wingers go nuclear, and the birth of Linux from a private monopoly: 4 links I liked

Want to know what relative deprivation is and does? Look no further: “Germany’s far-right AfD stronghold: Life is good, but ‘people are scared'”

Not much to see here, just a far-right “activist” serving on a nuclear sub.

When it’s all getting a bit too much, read this wonderful article about the unlikely environment / management culture in which the world’s favourite operating system was hatched. I have filed “selective enthusiasm” for use in future faculty meetings. Also has some seriously weird pictures of nerds in front of historic computers.
