Hey mastledon what's #Trinding today?

one of the best things I'm doing for the transgender community is being so cool that the new people I talk to have to download signal to talk to me more

Defeated. Yes operator, this unit can run Java as well...

🚧 What do dancing babies, "under construction" signs, and bubble-gum-blowing Furbys tell us about digital preservation? In the latest essay for the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture series, writer JD Shadel explores the rise, fall, and cultural legacy of early Internet GIFs—and why they matter today.⁠

I’m not sure what to do at this point but here’s my ko-fi just in case anyone is feeling generous.

The ONLY effective next step to stop America's systemic racism is Reparations for Black Americans.

No corporate buzzphrase or inclusive pizza party will have any meaningful impact until reparations are paid.

Read "The Black Reparations Project" by Sandy Darity to get on the same page as Black Americans.

finally some good news

it is my firmly held belief that @suricrasia knocked it out of the park coining "langle mangle" as a derogatory term for LLMs and I really hope that becomes common terminology

DEI literally never existed.

As far as I'm concerned it was never anything more than a corporate buzz phrase and a handful of pizza parties.

It had minimal effect on Black employment and had no impact on the absolute collapse of Black business creation(as measured in loan activity and VC dollars).

In real terms Black Americans did worse during the DEI era than before. DEI was lip service to distract from the fact we were loosing significant ground and still are.
