The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

taking posting online as implicit consent for having your data used in any which way is shitty in all the normal ways that other smart people are pointing out but it also engenders a relationship with technology and products that is inherently hostile and end of day i don't think tech ppl want that

starving people to death then waiting for the arrival of an aid package to gun them all down there has to be a worse punishment than hell for that i need a worse hell

leap day is a bonus day so anything you do tomorrow doesn’t really count

super cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes "but no one would do it if it was opt-in!" yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM

“Never again” means “never again for anybody,” not just us.

I don’t want to argue with a nazi in real life. Why the fuck would I want to do that here?

I only need 80 more people to hit 1k for my newsletter. Pls let me wake up to a miracle.

If you can swing it, consider making a monthly donation instead of a one-time donation. One-time donations are great, but funding for organizations like this tends to be boom-or-bust and monthly donations help them have more predictable cash flow. I learned this from abortion funds.

A reminder that Black women started ringing the alarm on AI before this

Have you preordered Tears of the Kingdom yet?

I wonder if a paid “bounty” system for community tasks would be helpful… I can see benefits, but then can’t help but think of some of the issues that open source contribution has. 🤔

Let's do a "Hire Me" thread! If you are underrepresented + looking for a new role in tech, reply with your details! Introduce yourself, tell us the role you are looking for, link to your website/LinkedIn and where people can reach you. I will repost

Definitely gonna check these out! Thread has some great picks as well.

Good morning Skyline, it’s leg day! 😤

@aliafonzy.bsky.social is bringing in so many great people (and is an incredibly cool person❤️) I just have to give her a shout out for how she’s built so much of this community. Follow her if you’re not already!!

Same.

Agreed.

I think ostracizing fascists is good, actually. They used to wear hoods for a reason

Good morning! ☀️
