What short term gain? The calculation of (made up short term gain) - (people hurt by these resentful executive orders) can only be net positive if you minimize the (un)intended consequences out of some flavour/blend of isms.

Yes they are literally doing that. I wouldn't usually censor it but I know not-shitting-on-DEI gets heavily downvoted/flagged on here so I thought I could avoid some of that mob. I failed in that regard so far it seems...

Smart move. Blame the ones with the power doing the action. What a novel concept in this day and age. Thank you.

I do not take the Israeli Einsatzgruppen Force's word for anything the same way I don't take the Nazis word for why they felt they needed to do Auschwitz. Your whole engagement in this conversation is truly unhinged racism and ins

The holocaust justifiers truly are the most gormless people who lack basic comprehension. Where did I say the AA program captured 100% of jobs? And did you read which industries I mentioned? Probably not, I mentioned tech and media. Cornell

Fascinating! Now imagine how offensive it is to normal people for zionists to actually commit a holocaust and make unlimited justifications for it while crying victim! This is exactly what the Nazis did, they tried to justify the mass indus

It's the zionist affirmative action that gives unlimited second chances for clearly fireable offenses (if it were anyone else) in a cancel-culture prone ecosystem like tech and media. In contrast, people on HN get their comments cancel

That's not how dropping 2000lb American bombs from American F-35s by an Israeli flying vampires paid for by American tax dollars onto babies in refugee tents work. The Nazi demons at Auschwitz also blamed their victims in between zyklo

This is what the Nazis also accused "The Jews" of doing amongst other anti semitic nonesense, they convinced themselves of these crimes by a subset of the Jewish population and decided to punish the whole with industrial mass slau

This is what happens when there is an unchecked Affirmative Action program for zionists in many industries like tech and Media. Microsoft employees get fired for calling for a ceasefire meanwhile their Israeli counterparts get to gloat abou

I scream into the void after reading this post: "Please give even a 10th of that money you wasted on that SaaS to the maintainer(s) of the OSS alternative, even while you're trialing it internally!"

Are all the contrarian lemmings having self-imposed nightmares of being cancelled for eagerly sucking on the DoD teat by backing/creating AI killer drone tech because they can no longer create alpha? Say it ain't so! Or maybe it&#

The open source ecosystem needs this kind of "wasta". AI solutions nowadays are working to automate all sorts of services, partly using adversarial interoperability tools built by open source developers to extract functionality fr

An open and accessible API is good actually. "Bad" actors will always find a way around closed/restricted/no API access.

Godspeed to all the OSS Adversarial Interoperability reverse engineers! APIs should be a digital human right.

Just want to reiterate I fully support what you're doing and I despise the megacorps that send out legal threats to small companies/OSS devs but according to their overbroad TOS they do not make distinctions between the types of a

If this was an OSS project automating a specific service many HN-ers would come and bleet about TOS violations & being scared/wary of C&Ds. How does this not violate TOS? Do you have legal protection set up from megacorps tryin

This is legal. See Teller API. Venmo will most likely lose if they take these devs to court based on precedent. I don't like this trend of small time OSS devs being berated about legal bullying from megacorps, meanwhile handsomely VC-f

Very cool! If Megacorps insist on pulling the Web 2.0 promises of APIs from under us then we will build them ourselves in the spirit of adversarial interoperability. It's time for there to be a legal protection framework for OSS mainta

Skipping a queue in traffic is an asshole thing to do, but we in a society give them the benefit of the doubt because we don't know what they're going through. It inconveniences literally everyone, yet it would be weird for the dr
