Eat the rich (neighbors’ candy)

It’s where you drop off your Lincoln Logs.

I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.

Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same

While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.

Rocks are woke now.

Neither of those are DEI.

I feel like you may not understand what DEI actually is. What, precisely, do you think a “DEI hire” is?

I love this, and I hope they find success with this. I also hope they find a way to make it not look like something out of Ed Gein’s collection, because right now it’s hideous.

We’ll tell you when you’re older.

Usually after 4 PM.

It’s hard to be critical of something that hasn’t been released yet. All anybody had to go off of were statements from the developers, until the product was actually released and people could get their hands on it.

Someone please tell me more about this moth.

Thumbnail definitely had me expecting something else.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed?

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.

What about this is clickbait?

How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.

How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

You can either have a commitment to the Constitution, or to the president’s unconstitutional EOs. Not both.

A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.

What about this one?

I love stories with happy endings!
