Like many neoliberal administrative-margin fiddlers, the author assumes average citizens sympathetic to populist tendencies to be mouth breathing hogs incapable of critical thought. "They know not what is good for them!"
The level of contempt is palpable, and the feeling is mutual.
Because then there would be an imperative upon them to actually govern in accordance to the wishes of their constituencies instead of being able to be the "we're not Hitler" party
Democrats are controlled opposition, they would much rather lose to Republicans (with whom their donors all share a class interest) than win under any pretense of populism, let alone socialism. It's completely unacceptable to them. They will do anything to keep the left in line, because it's the only thing they're truly afraid of.
He must be cutting his salary too, right?
Liberal and Conservative media outlets alike have been portraying Arabs and Muslims as bloodthirsty savages for generations. The Fox News stuff is obvious and abhorrent but it's so outlandish its almost comical to anyone with half a working brain cell. But the reason it's so mainstream and pervasive in the west is largely thanks to the legitimization efforts of liberal mouthpieces like the New York times and the Atlantic, etc. They make it palatable for high society to be able to watch the annihilation of a people and not even flinch.
Never forget, this is software that is being designed with the express purpose to put you out of a job. First and foremost this technology exists to replace and immiserate you.
Push yourself to be better than them. Do not accept mediocrity. Win.
Being a racist loser has no relation whatsoever to being good at a skill, you can be just as good if not better than them. It's really common to feel like you'll never be as good as your senior coworkers but that's just your brain playing tricks on you. I felt the same way when I was just starting out as a cook. I went on to be a sous chef in several Michelin starred/James Beard awarded restaurants before changing careers, so I understand toxic, abusive, high pressure environments, which I understand programming to be.
Those guys are better programmers than you? Ok, tough shit. If you want to get better the only person who can do that for you is you. Prove to them that being a racist piece of shit has nothing to do with being skilled. Or don't, either way it's not a reflection on you as a person. But if you want it, you absolutely have the ability to do it, and there is no better vindication than winning.
edit: I fully expected to take downvotes for this, but I do want to add, someday we will have to actually FIGHT fascists and not by posting on the internet, or asking them to think of you as a person (which they do not), or what have you. The day will come that those people who see you as an insignificant worm will be unleashed upon you and they will have the full backing of the state and when that day comes, you will need to be better than them. Accepting mediocrity or losing is fine if you have no stake and winning doesn't matter. But I do not think that pushing ourselves to be better and ACTUALLY win is something that should be shunned or shied away from, and this is a real life situation where OP can take a personal W for themselves. Best of luck to you, OP, and I hope you take my message to heart!
True, but anything running Bazzite could just as easily run Fedora atomic instead and basically no one could tell the difference. Fedora is sponsored by one of the largest tech companies on the planet.
The aggregator wasn't hacked, they essentially hacked the hackers and put together this list. This ain't a data breach per se, it's just putting together a bunch of past breaches and patching it up to HIBP.
Classic DemonRat logic: "It's a messaging problem that everyone can see how fucking awful we are acting and we can't commit a genocide in complete opacity"
