I think the canted touchpads are a nice touch, and inline sticks are the way to go (I can’t believe Nintendo and Microsoft continue to get this wrong).

Huh, weird. So the thing that everybody said was going to happen, because of a documented history of that exact thing happening, happened?

Who would’ve guessed?

Shoot him, anyway.

The wild part about it is that this technique required a very specific prism in the camera in order to work properly, and the tech behind it was completely lost to time and nobody else knew how to make that work, which is why we’ve primarily had blue/green screens with chunky matte lines ever since. The guys at Corridor Digital managed to recreate the effect pretty authentically, and it’s awesome to see the results of their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuIVsNzqDk

Eva Braun 2.0 over here really ought to consider following her predecessor’s footsteps.

I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.

I’m starting to think this guy might be a racist. 🤔

DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.

Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same

While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.

I like the theory that suggests that JonBenét Ramsey wasn’t killed, and was instead kidnapped and secretly raised by her captors to be a singer, and grew up to become Katy Perry.

Rocks are woke now.

Neither of those are DEI.

I feel like you may not understand what DEI actually is. What, precisely, do you think a “DEI hire” is?

So glad I left that shithole state. Tired of Ken “Securities Fraud” Paxton wasting my tax dollars on frivolous bullshit like this.

I love this, and I hope they find success with this. I also hope they find a way to make it not look like something out of Ed Gein’s collection, because right now it’s hideous.

I just moved here, and it really is a gorgeous city.

Usually after 4 PM.
