I’m really worried that my only option for work will be with a defense contractor. Those are the only places hiring for my field lately.
I sort of have a conspiracy theory that these tech layoffs lately are so that MICs can have more/cheaper programmers as the U.S. ratchets up for war with China.
The math is simple, as we all know a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump. So if someone votes for Trump, they are really voting for Trump twice. Once when they don’t vote for Biden and once for voting for Trump. Voting for a candidate twice is VOTER FRAUD. If enough people do it Trump will be disqualified,...
They should commit actual voter fraud for Trump, because if Trump gets more than 2,147,483,647 votes, it will cause an integer overflow and hit vote total will roll over to the negatives
Ah yes, the good ol’ EEE: embrace, extend, extinguish. If you’ve been in open source software long enough, you know full well how companies use this to eliminate competition.
Soooooo much shit I enjoyed as a kid had a plot where a dude ‘wins’ a woman as a prize for completing the hero’s journey, and I genuinely think it messed up the entire millennial generation

Biden actively took away what little there was in terms of protections. He absolutely could have continued the public health emergency, now we have less testing (since tests are no longer covered by insurance), less reliable reporting, and more pressure to live and work in cramped, poorly ventilated places. But maybe it’s not importa-- oh hey what is this? https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/dc4805f9-f5ac-428e-970e-5c7c3b0469e6.webp

It’s a term used to racially exclude people by calling Asian car enthusiasts tacky posers. Is that really the energy we want to bring (or rather keep) to the Linux community?
Can you be sure of that? And if it did matter to the public image of the Linux community, would agree to stop using that term, or is using a word that to this day has racist connotations more important to you than ensuring that all members of the Linux community feel welcome?
Ricing is a racist term. I am telling you right now that it is a racist term referring to a type of car modding that Asians are stereotyped as doing. It is explicitly used to deride and exclude Asians from the car enthusiast community. Anyone who’s into cars or around people who are has heard this term, but you can Google it if you want.
What does it say about you that you’ll deny basic, well known facts to defend using such an exclusionary term in a tiny community with a large amount of Asians in it?
I’m curious if we have a detailed historic analysis of the origin of the term.
If you want to do the research be my guest, but I’m telling you right now, I’ve only ever heard the term used to mock an Asian person’s car mods.
If an x86-64 enthusiast made fun of an ARM chip by saying it was “manufactured on a crumpet substrate” would that be an insult against the British
made fun
There’s you answer. It is disrespect based on ethnicity.
I never really saw the term widely used to describe a desktop configuration before here
Then you should be fine with not using the term, right? Why are you working so hard to defend a word you claim you don’t see much? You have put all this effort into justifying using a word you have been told several times is racist that apparently other people don’t use according to you.

I have to confess something. For two years, I was a contracted IT worker for the US armed forces.

If libs want Biden to win they should vote for Trump
