  • Pentagon Warns Microsoft: Company’s Use of China-Based Engineers Was a “Breach of Trust”

  • The supervisors did not have the expertise to know what the foreign workers were doing, otherwise there would not have had to be 2 workers in the first place. And the foreign workers were not just writing code - they were doing sysadmin. On DoD systems.

    I don't know how to make any more clear to you but it's completely obvious to anyone that actually understands these things that this was terrible opsec, and obviously not how any reasonable person would expect a DoD contract to be managed.

  • I'm sorry but you just straight up don't know what incident is being discussed here. Go look it up instead of talking about unrelated bullshit.

  • ??? This is about giving chinese nationals root access to US military IT systems to save money. It's actually terrible opsec and should be a way worse scandal.

  • JD Vance Says He’s Ready to Be President If Trump’s Health Fails

  • People keep saying MAGA falls apart when Trump dies, but what I'm not seeing is what people think all these supporters will do? Surely we're not thinking they'll suddenly deconvert until reasonable people or even what used to be Republicans.

    If we're really honest, this is what the Republican party has been building up to for decades. I'm trying to see the optimism that they'll just go back in the box but I'm just not seeing it

  • This is.... funny to you?

  • How would you propose we actually combat climate change?

    Jump

  • Yup. ALL single use plastics except maybe for medical need to go. I take my own containers to restaurants for leftovers and people act like I have 2 heads

  • Diablo Devs Unionize Following Layoffs And Dissatisfaction With AI, Pay

    Jump

  • Yeah and a shockingly effective propaganda campaign, and obvious union busting that only gets a slap on the wrist.

  • Even if you filter out game devs, you seem to think "tech worker" means "silicon valley startup or FAANG", but the field is much larger than that and the compensation and treatment has never been uniform across the sector.

  • The majority of the field didn't get crazy high salaries though (though they mostly did get to actually keep up with the cost of living while others didn't). Since this is about game devs especially, the benefit they mostly got was getting to do the thing they were passionate about. I don't remember a time when game developers didn't have it shitty other than that.

    Edit: also big tech companies were doing things like backroom anti poaching deals and other anti worker bullshit, so even the most privileged were getting fucked to some degree

  • Have you gotten a response after asking why you weren't hired?

    Jump

  • Even if they were to tell you it is likely to be bullshit, and the honest answers are pretty much limited to "someone else had more xp with what we wanted" or "we liked someone else's vibe better"

    I have a friend that asks and he's been told "we didn't think the c suite would like your mustache" and "your shirt was too colorful"

  • Everyone always makes it sound like everyone else was already in a union and tech workers were snearing at them, but tbh I'm not sure I know a single person that is part of a union in any field. They just aren't that common in recent history outside of a few specific areas, and everyone is finally seeing the need together. (I would have thought the insane crunch and week long mandatory on call a lot of people deal with in tech would have been enough but apparently it takes the threat of layoffs to get people serious)

  • No they're not they're talking purely at a technical level and you're trying to apply mysticism to it.

  • I'm not the one who told you to flip burgers, but making an appeal to authority where the authority is yourself and you've already repeatedly said things that destroy your credibility is a new level of pathetic.
