That site having neon ADHD CSS is making it harder to take this seriously.

most academic peer review is at this point is a joke though. i know everyone wants to hold onto it as some kind of high standard but it really isn't all what it used to be, it functions almost identical to SEO for academics at this point. this dated mentality combined with wikipedia's culture of inconsistent topical gatekeeping is the source of much strife.

minneapolis got hit pretty hard.

not in the usa, "no child left behind" did a lot of damage on the futures of the generation going forward here.

it's checkbox compliance all the way up to the top. it's only for show as if people wanted a rigorous solution the problem, the mechanisms in play and each possible solution would have been documented in autistic detail before anyone put it out. this is a kind of issue you would keep junior talent and HR far far away from at all costs. this is software after all, people who care about something specific, care a LOT. this topic is a real issue but it has been tainted by racial political framing. imo, start with women in tech first, then go from there.

you know, one surefire way to signal to apple that deployment of such technology is detrimental to their bottom line is to just not buy apple products anymore.

I would be more inclined to believe that the /g/ board (the board implicated) did what was accused if what happened was that he did something far more grave like saying he has an iphone that he absolutely loves and loves using MacOS.

do you happen to have a list of the phone numbers harassing you so i can pre-preemptively block them for the future?

MA resident as well, what worries me more is that someone thought that this method of installation was a good idea and even more worrying is that they were also able to execute on it. It feels rather shady and nefarious the lack of public announcement on it. Shenanigans like this how you get the populace to trust the local government less, which is the last thing this country needs.
