Lemmy's developers are actual tankies. The original and a still large instance is Lemmy.ml. The ML meaning Marxist Leninist. The mods there are ridiculously ban heavy around questioning anything to do with BRICS nations. They even preemptively ban accounts who post outside of their instance if you say truthful things like NATO is a defensive alliance, Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine, or China is being imperialist themselves in SE Asia.
I just noticed other articles about California and Michigan. They also used Newsome and Whitmer as the image. But then another for Georgia did not use Kemp as the image.
But in essence, leadership will say they care about DEI. But then doesn't set any goals or timeframes. Then what I've seen a few times is the responsibility for the initiatives get pushed to lower level people who have no authority to bring about much of any change. Leadership gets to pat themselves on the back while doing nothing.
Most of the programs exist to avoid lawsuits. They don't actually help much of anything. And before people jump down my throat I'm not against the idea of what DEI claims to fix in corporate America. I just know from the level I've worked at multiple companies that leadership doesn't really care. DEI is another box to check for the shareholders to feel good about themselves.
So tl;dr DEI is mostly pointless. Leadership allows people to talk about DEI because talk is cheap and ineffectual. But they shit their pants of we try to unionize and force change. So stop focusing on DEI and start focusing on unionization.
This is changing things. Vertical integration of a key supplier isn't necessarily a bad thing.
And this is sort of like if GM woke up one day and decided to buy back Allison Transmission. Sprit was part of Boeing. It got sold off by bad leadership. Sprit never landed many other contracts past Boeing. Boeing is now buying them back to reintegrate a piece of old Boeing leadership never should have sold.
They're especially loud here because Lemmy's developers are tankies. Some are even supposedly former Chapo Trap House peeps that got kicked off reddit. It's the most annoying part of this place trying to be a reddit replacement. But it's getting better with users calling them out.
He could not have gained access from his position to the data compiled. His story on how he did doesn't add up to anyone with security clearance. The real way it was accomplished isn't going to be divulged either. The NSA isn't going to publicly explain whatever avenue was found.
