- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 3 weeks ago:
I agree there too. I think anyone thinking that it’s an easy task is lying. Forced top down initiatives suck period. They almost never account for the reality of the work because they aren’t looking at it, but instead abstractions and opinions of people looking at the people looking at the people doing the work.
Personally, what makes more sense is an active monitoring indicators of discrimination and have that trigger a real analysis on why that is the case. What presumption of being a man actually makes them a better fit for the role and maybe just include that (i.e. are they able to put enough force in consistently enough to dig this thing)? The other is, is there an investment to be made to make said task easier so more people could do it?
There is a sect of people that miss what the point of “diversity is our strength” which is that people can be better or worse at things or provide new perspectives. If we don’t allow people to do different things or listen to their perspectives there we aren’t getting more out of it

“Merit” is defined by what is measured in most hiring it’s just a preference of the hiring body. As with a bunch of places around where I live, young single women, older women, old white guys, young white guys, and everyone else was the preference order…
- Comment on It has nothing to do with your right to work 2 months ago:
Never got why small government guys would support it where I lived. It’s just the government stepping in to limit the union on behalf of big corporations

Any good ghost application software out there?

I honestly do love the aspect of it.
- Comment on ‘Who dreams this crap up?’: Kevin O'Leary slams new rule that allows employees to ignore their bosses after hours 5 months ago:
“What crazy world do we live in where I can’t eat at closed restaurants or live in houses I don’t own or pay for? What’s next electricians only fix my breakerbox when I pay them? What is this world coming too!?”
Honestly, I don’t get this.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 5 months ago:
Games are defined by the limitation imposed by them.
You might arguably do all that if you are competing at extremely high skill levels tbh.
- Comment on As Trump and Harris call to end tip taxes, a wider minimum wage war heats up 6 months ago:
Can’t wait to see more jobs become tip based /s Nurses based on tips, doctors, ems, firefighters? Why not?
Its the most economical decision for them on their taxes…

- Comment on The food delivery bubble is bursting — and maybe that's not a bad thing 6 months ago:
Honestly that seems like a huge factor to me. The more car dependent places I’ve lived the less delivery was a thing.

Your not a technician, you’re an “engineer”. Ignore the fact you will make zero engineering decisions on this.

- Comment on The Outer Worlds and Thief are free from Epic next week 10 months ago:
I mean some of the fediverse devs work at Meta so surely right?
These aren’t totally cut and dry because of the open nature of the software and network.
You can have Marxist Leninist build an app with support for donations and have someone turn around and interoperate with Meta using the protocol whos standard is hosted by a industry non profit.
Life’s weird living in the free world shrug
- Comment on The Outer Worlds and Thief are free from Epic next week 10 months ago:
I use a FOSS app and the website from a Linux desktop. What I am saying is the incentives for the Lemmy devs to work on Lemmy are ideological and funded by donations. The fact that companies can extend it isn’t relevant to the intention of design of Lemmy.

Lemmy’s not a company shrug
- Comment on Emad Mostaque steps down as CEO and from the Board of Directors to pursue decentralized AI 10 months ago:
Same here. I really liked his conc3pt of these being digital public goods and the reality that open source/models make finetuning on private data possible for many when it otherwise wouldn’t be the case.
Honestly seeing him double down on decentralized AI gives me hope too. People like the hivemind and pedals.Dev folks have been doing incredible stuff in that space but there has little in terms of adoption despite the fact it addressed a major hurdel in overall adoption (needing massive GPUs to run models).

I hope laurin switches to Pazio material or some other lore source tbh. I mean they (hazboro) fired all of they’re working partners from their side and are clearly bad fucking stewards of the IP.

Lmao I honestly so hard at this, but honestly they were probably thinking “what’s the lowest fucking bar we have here?” And instead this success told them that a little more investment might actually have better returns
