Ah yes. “Equal opportunities” of the old days, like being told to be out of town by sunset or you’ll be lynched, or firing women who get pregnant, or redlining neighborhoods and adding restrictions too deeds to prevent the “wrong sort” of people (aka anyone not white) from moving in.

“DEI Ideology” is a made-up boogie man that the far-right created as an excuse to discriminate against minorities and their allies, since being outright racist isn’t acceptable anymore. White conservatives are terrified of meritocracy.

Jail them!

In prison gen pop. Make execs afraid to break the law for profit and/or fund reform for the prison system.

Did Elon Musk shoot her while on a K binge?

TIL: Accelerating global climate change, increasing depletion of available reserved of potable water through use of open-loop cooling, intentionally eroding the ability of people to support themselves by using their own works to compete with them without license or consent to do so, and passing all economic gains upwards, with no financial benefit realized by people doing the actual work is “spurious”.

Your claim is that “everything” that I previously stated was factually incorrect and have provided exactly nothing but ad hominem attacks to “prove” your point. So, are you going to backup your claims at all, or are you just approaching this in bad faith to troll or reinforce your pseudo-religious faith in LLMs (which will never be sentient nor save us from the problems that they are contributing to).

Prove it. I’m sure you can find some reputable sources to bank your claims.

Maybe you ought to also better understand that comparing one to people who stood up against exploitation isn’t really an insult. Just like the Rednecks were those fighting for the working class when they were gunned down by rent-a-cops with machine guns at Blair Mountain.

If you’ve any shed of evidence to disprove established fact, please share it. Otherwise, jog on, mate.

Feel like supporting this statement?

In the US, “anti-DEI” is nothing but thinly-veiled discrimination. It is used primarily by people with the skills, personality, and sociability of a slice microwaved Wonderbread who need something to hide behind to avoid taking responsibility for their failings as well as by literal neo-nazis to try out a facade of legitimacy for their discriminatory actions while signalling their socio-political stance to their fellow neo-nazis.

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s meaning is approximately:

Diversity - Efforts should be made to ensure diverse representation in the workplace, especially for groups that have historically suffered from discrimination. To this end, when skills and capabilities are approximately equal, those from groups that have suffered oppression should be favored. This both strengthens the workplace by adding different perspectives and helps to “rebalance” to correct for centuries of discrimination that have robbed these groups of opportunities.

A diverse workplace is stronger and more effective than a homogenous one, as proven by extensive sociological research.

Equity - People are different and may need assistance to put them on equal footing when they are otherwise equally capable to those who have greater societal representation. This could be as simple as ensuring that someone who needs glasses to read without eye strain is able to readily able to get them. Or it could mean ensuring that someone who has gender dysphoria (which can cause extraordinary mental health problems like anxiety and treatment-resistant major depression) is able to get the treatment that they need.

Inclusion - This is about the simplest of the three. Everyone should feel safe and valid in the workplace, regardless of their immutable characteristics.

When people say that they are “anti-DEI” in the US, they mean that they want a society where the only people with power are white, protestant men. They want a society where white, protestant men are favored over other all other groups and considered the “default” choice for anything. And they want a society where people who are different from them are afraid to participate because they may be arbitrarily punished and/or lynched.

When they claim that DEI is discriminatory and that they oppose discrimination, they are lying. Being forced to actually compete with others on even ground is terrifying to them and not being held above everyone else makes them think they are being oppressed.

What is the future of X.org if all the mainstream distros drop X11 for Wayland?

Retirement to the archives. The protocol is extremely dated and held together with duct tape. The maintainers are mostly also contributors to Wayland projects, where they are implementing features impossible with X11.

Probably that and they know there is no evidence to support their anti-vax agenda so, have to invent it.

It was hacking according to Kevin Mitnick (RIP) so, it’s probably safe to say that your view doesn’t need to be changed.

At this point, I’m starting to think that the next evolution of conventional weapons of war will be building a SpaceX launch pad near the intended target.

Leveraging his office for profit? Yes. By definition it absolutely is

He’s already been violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

In that case, my suggestion would be to target implementing a REST API with OpenAPI (formerly Swagger). There are server code generators for both Rust and JS (multiple flavors, I think).

Basically, the workflow is something like this:

1. Create your API spec skeleton (YAML or JSON, pick your poison). This will have all of the required sections like info
2. Pick your first endpoint and define it in the paths section. Probably start with during simple like a GET. This will mean that you mainly have to worry about defining your responses (at minimum HTTP2XX and HTTP4XX, preferably with a catchall error response for HTTP5XX responses) and their schemas.
3. Run the code generator. This should generate files with stubbed-out definitions for interfaces (or the equivalent for your language of choice) for your response methods. Generally, you do NOT want to add any code to these files as they will be overwritten anytime you update your API spec.
4. Implement the methods to handle the stubbed out interfaces. Ex. A hello-world interface would likely need to be implemented with a method or function that returns the string “hello world”.

The reason that I recommend OpenAPI in writing REST APIs is that it helps to layout the API contracts before you even start coding. This helps with keeping typing consistent, give you a clear milestone for implement, and makes creating clients really easy.

Extra benefit is that OpenAPI is (mostly) language agnostic, so, as long as you have a codegen or some good boilerplate, you can use it for any language, which can give you a safe place to start when learning a new language.

What programming language do you have already or intend to learn?

The FCC, which licenses radio spectrum and makes the rules for device certification is part of the Executive branch. So are the CFPB and the SEC, or what’s left of them. He’s literally, corruptly leveraging his office to benefit his cons and preventing regulations from applying to himself and his cronies.

Besides the naked corruption?

I think some French (?) guy managed to get a hold of some that didn’t have warheads and took apart the guidance systems on YouTube.

In a world not dominated by unfettered capitalism, sure. That’s not the one that we live in however and this tool has both been built on stolen and unlicensed intellectual property as well as being used explicitly to harm people’s livelihoods while replacing their work with objectively inferior plagiaristic amalgams.

AI companies also refuse to obey the rules of the Internet and continually DDOS sites that request crawlers and scrapers not do so, necessitating creation of whole new types of software to defend against their malicious behavior.

And on top of all that, they have substantially increased greenhouse gas emissions and are actively consuming potable water in a manner that makes Nestlé execs hard. Putting the planet’s biosphere at greater risk and unnecessarily increasing water scarcity.

Nah. Simping for AI companies is the irrational take. The value that they provide to humanity is, outside of some niche use cases, marginal at best and will likely never come close to making up for the harms that they are causing to humanity for a quick buck and to increase worker oppression.

With GenAI being used primarily as a cudgel against labor, especially organized labor, it’s a pretty accurate take.
