Facebook/Meta laid off 11,000 people and now is doing 40 BILLION in stock buybacks. None of these companies care about cost cutting, they saw an opportunity to suppress wages without any criticism and they took it. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/01/facebook-parent-meta-announces-40-billion-stock-buyback.html

I'm especially interested in adding more diversity to my list.

It's a band new day, and I appear to have arrived on Mastodon. Still fumbling around in the Miocene (or is it Pliocene?) getting the lay of the land.

Wir essen in 🇩🇪 doppelt so viel #Fleisch wie der Weltdurchschnitt und sehr viel mehr als gesund ist. Konsequenz: #Klimakrise, #Artensterben, 800 Mio. Menschen hungern und wir werden krank. Warum sind so wenig Menschen bereit, daran etwas zu verändern?

C++Now has a CoC and this person violated it twice. It is insane to think he will "behave" given his past track record.
We know of at least 5 different speakers who are considering dropping out. Unfortunately this is the only way to make it clear to ACCU and other conferences.
If people support this conference it signals a normalization of sexual harassment.
"although women are already underrepresented among scientists (26% of all unique scientists in MAG), they are even more underrepresented among editors and editors-in-chief (14% and 8%, respectively). Moreover, the gap remained stable over the past five decades; the proportion of female editors has consistently remained around half that of female scientists, although gender parity has been steadily increasing in science in general" #academia #sexism #science
I'm willing to pay up to $10,000 (USD), to whomever I need to pay, to solve the #GNOME AT keyboard input handling problem once and for all. Currently, toolkits implementing AT-SPI have to pass all keyboard events to the AT-SPI registry, then wait for a response on whether the event should be processed as usual. No other platform does something like this, and this unique platform-specific requirement is a major complication for #AccessKit. I want to get this fixed. #accessibility
