Maybe they should fire some of the administrators instead of cutting research. There are 1.35 administrators per undergrad at Harvard. https://www.thecollegefix.com/at-harvard-there-are-2600-more... Many ”work” in DEI.

Just use the ”following” tab instead of the ”for you” tab, and you get that on X.

What if the blacks and women are actually not as good at their jobs? Blacks on average have a much lower IQ and women on average are much less interested in technology. That would be the simplest explanation. Have you ever met a black female who is interested in programming?

Recently the Steam client stopped working with old Nvidia cards. So now you can’t start your games anymore even though they technically still work because they have to be started via the client. And you can’t go back to an older, working, client.

People abuse the flagging functionality by flagging submissions that go against their ideology or prejudice. I think it’s part of the current suppress/censor/ban/deplatform/demonetize/unperson zeitgeist.

I’m just using the same language as the Post on X. American hyper sensitivity to certain words is not universal. The point is that driverless taxi companies will eventually have to face reality outside of the relatively safe areas where they currently opeate.

Re:Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts

There seems to be an extreme obsession with blocking, banning, censoring, demonetizing, deplatforming, firing, unbanking, un-personing. And this is from people whose opininions already completely dominate mainstream media and all of public life. This is not healthy.

Not to mention huge benefits to the environment, reduced pollution, less traffic congestion leading to increased societal efficiency overall. And we can go on and on.
But it’s obvious corps only like to virtue signal about such things while in reality not caring one iota about them.

Pffft. X is by far the most important social network for people and things that matter. So not your vacation photos on Facebook or some influencer posting semi-nude pics on Instagram. It has only gotten better since Musk made moderation neutral, as opposed to the previous absurdly one-sided suppression of anything that deviates even slightly from ultra-left Liberal Silicon Valley ideology.
