@thor HR and the University equivalents are essentially there to limit the damage to their interests. I saw things in University that made me want to contact the police but I knew it wouldn't make a difference.

A few young women who had empty eyes and a system that couldn't be challenged. The soul crushing reality of Amerikan degree farms. They only cause student loan debt, give false hopes, try to break some and the few professors who are the pillars of light they should be.

I guess what I'm implying is that HR empowers lower predators while they prey on everyone. Also Universities hide crimes by manipulating people who are likely the victims. They'll use anything one has ever said, health information, reports from peers and a lot of things they shouldn't have access to.

I know this might make some people cancel me but RMS is a good example. The emails that were leaked made it look like he was a piece of trash. The full emails showed him being informed of the sex trafficking of minors by people at the University.

What's a good way to get rid of someone who just has strong beliefs, damage the credibility of the FSF and an actual problem that the University knew about before it became public? Throw RMS under the bus, get rid of those who were connected to the main crime and use influence to get the press to focus mainly on RMS.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation played their part along with The TOR Project in shaming RMS and the FSF while they made ideological changes and license changes while being on their high horse. Some people still believe RMS did something besides being difficult to deal with.

This is what happens when someone exposes something that a University doesn't want out in the public. If it's connected to government, death would be too humane.

These are the things that are addressed briefly and quickly forgotten about. I'll see if I can find that person's name and I'll put it in. RMS wasn't convicted of a crime.

@thor Not really. It was more of a joke than anything. If I were to take it to HR, I would just get fired.

@thor Maybe they don't know how it works because it's not Twitter.

When someone finds out you know “a lot of odd things for a civilian game developer”. Well, it helps to be well rounded.

@thor I spent a lot of my time in a gym weight training and it mostly attracted the same sex.

It's almost like the universe is trying to groom me.

I had weight loss surgery but the real fix would have been popularity, girls, fun and travel. I had a big need for those things but wasn't shaped right for it, so I compensated with other things.

@Hyolobrika @freemo Most Proprietary Software would probably break as a result.

There's this guy in my neighborhood that runs around wearing an orange safety vest that says "Autistic" and I kinda want one.

Yes and No. If you have lived in China, you must have noticed the lack of honorable business practices and precision. So for every pearl of excellence there are a dozen scoundrels trying to ride on that success, and it creates an enormous downward pull on those.

We can already see a higher frequency of microcontroller "bugs" in silicon. GigaDevices GD32 cloning of STM32 has plenty of mistakes in them, much higher than ST. And that is with IP purchased from ARM.

@lupyuen

@niclas @lupyuen That particular company also made a RISC-V MCU that has been called difficult. It's not that the production quality is bad at all but the architecture was not very friendly from what I remember.

So the new Big Tech election interference plan is to just stop recommending any political content as it’s all bad for “the party”.

Who the fuck uses Threads? People should stop using Facebook too.

Just FYI apparently has switched to the incredibly abusive and poorly maintained oliphant block list that is itself dictated, in part, of mastodon.art's abusive block list.

See my response here: mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/11190

As well as the Admin admitting this is the case here: mastodon.acm.org/@wild1145@uni

very disappointed in their lack of due diligence.
