lol spicy questions. Agree that we should just aim to be a meritocracy. From what I have seen at tech companies there are people with the title ‘activist’ (actually saw this) to give trainings to the company. There’s often a political bent to these as well so not super surprising it annoys some people. I watch this podcast to kind of avoid this kind of stuff though. Great podcast :)

2023-03-28 01:53:00 +0000 UTCIts not a catastrophe if there are diverse characters in top games. However it is a catastrophe to elevate superficial characteristics over merit. It is perhaps even worse to perpetuate the meme of "I can only do a thing if someone who looks like me has done it before". The woke stuff is terrible for social cohesion. We are all more the same than we are different and wokeness is perfectly positioned to divide us along arbitrary lines. Please stick to hardware leaks.

2023-03-25 20:43:47 +0000 UTCI went to go hit the thumbs up, but it was missing. Nooo! Oh well. I'll add a comment to side step the revomal of a thumbs up/down button.

2023-03-24 18:43:11 +0000 UTCChrist that woke question. I too absolutely despised diversity hiring, but only in so far as it is a bandaid for corporations failing to fix their hiring processes to be better reflective of the talents and backgrounds of their hiring pool. But flip the script how many people only got their positions because they were part of a privileged status? Why are we not angry about that. Why is it the woke virus that is coming for us? How is it not the privilege rot that has been here since the beginning? Ohh if a male gets hired on a team it's because skill, if a woman gets hired it's because WOKE MIND VIRUS!!! Christ give me a break.

2023-03-24 17:43:38 +0000 UTCI've seen some creators post videos that are uploaded to Patreon itself. I don't know if it's rolled-out to everyone, but you could use that instead of having an unlisted video on youtube.
