No, it IS a bad look if you continue playing Activision games after this. Blah blah blah no ethical consumption under capitalism but video games are a choice, not a basic necessity. There are plenty other games to play. You're supporting abusers.

I've always been jealous of male colleagues who get to move freely about the industry chasing jobs that challenge them. They get to ask questions about the project in interviews. I had to ask "how many women are in the team? How many are in leadership positions?"Neleimour 🖋 (@Neleimour)Thu, 22 Jul 2021 02:55 +0000

To be clear: the reason I'm sick is that my 9yo, who cannot be vaxxed yet, was infected by someone who had COVID and was in public, infecting others. If you can be vaccinated, and choose not to, you are putting others at risk. And I don't know how you live with that.

If you're just learning to code and don't love it, don't worry. The longer you work as an engineer the less and less coding you end up getting to do 😂🙃

Probably wise of the police to just leave them to it until they do something really dangerous like holding a candlelight vigil for a woman murdered by a police officer.

Marcus Rashford has done more for England then winning a penalty could ever do. Bukayo Saka has bought joy and inspiration to so many at fucking NINTEEN. These kids need to hold their heads so high.

I feel like at least once a week, someone asks me what they can do to help women or mothers or people from underrepresented communities. My answer is always the same: HIRE THEM. PAY THEM. It’s not complicated!Susan Rigetti (@susanthesquark)Fri, 09 Jul 2021 19:41 +0000

TikTok is so full of it. Things keep coming up that shows that the app is not favorable for Black ppl. But most of these companies are asking creators to have a following on there. 😕

TikTok said “the app is mistakenly flagging phrases like ‘Black Lives Matter’ because its hate speech detector is triggered by a combination of words involving the words ‘Black’ and ‘audience’ — because ‘audience’ contains the word ‘die’ in it.” 🙄 vox.com/recode/2021/7/…hypervisible dot pdf (@hypervisible)Thu, 08 Jul 2021 20:06 +0000

“No one will ever find your website”😬 It’s like Polywork is trying to prey on people’s insecurities—especially beginners. IMO no social or professional network is nearly as good as a personal Website is to express ur identity & show ur work.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but AWS Infinidash is a really elaborate devops Twitter shitpost that is intentionally nonsensical, so if you've never heard of this nonexistent service and/or it makes no sense to you, it's not you and you're not dumb 🤗

github copilot has, by their own admission, been trained on mountains of gpl code, so i'm unclear on how it's not a form of laundering open source code into commercial works. the handwave of "it usually doesn't reproduce exact chunks" is not very satisfying
