I don’t do #TikTok but I endorse this.
#Scientology

Screenshot from somewhere. A photo of a white male adult in business attire gesturing with outstretched arm toward another male seen from behind wearing a blue t-shirt and an Afro cut, labeled “deepest recorded Scientology run”, next to a photo of the Scientology headquarters building. Caption: Tiktokers are “speedrunning” Scientology buildings in Los Angeles to see how far they can get before being thrown out.

Velkommen til Poulsbo!
Intel Poulsbo is a 130nm Atom chipset that was widely hated due to the near nonexistent Linux support for the PowerVR SGX535 GPU it included, rather than an Intel in house microarchitecture.
I'll decap and post die photos at some point but I wanted to visit the namesake with the intact board first.

Me, white male with light brown hair and a moustache wearing sunglasses, standing in front of a stone statue of a Viking with text "velkommen til Poulsbo" (Norwegian for "welcome to Poulsbo") on the base. I'm holding a green PCB with ENIG finish prominently featuring a large flip chip BGA that has on die coupling caps and a weird L shaped gold stripe. This is the Intel "Poulsbo" southbridge

"Trump’s White House: it’s run by men obsessed with looking tough, but who are, in actuality, weak and incompetent. The more they fail, the more they grasp for these theatrical but ineffectual displays hoping that the public mistakes loud and violent displays for strength."

#maudlinMaunderings of a doddering fool. Caveat lector.
Hey, it’s been a while. Thanks for stopping by.
Here’s a mundane thing I discovered about my body tonight. Totally SFW. PG. I’m old and arthritic. I’m used to all the various aches and pains that are either constant or intermittent. IIWIS… (1/7)

Photo showing a white male hand (my own, in fact) holding a spray bottle of a kitchen cleaner. It’s actually a bad illustration of what I’m trying to show with it, which is how my fingers are curled around the sprayer thingy, and in order for it to work I have to pull my fingers toward my palm. Interestingly, the 1st and 2nd fingers do not hurt, but I can get leverage to pull the thingy without pressing the 4th and 5th fingers against the bottle.
Photo of the back of a white male’s hand (my very own, again) pressing down on a pad wiping down a stovetop. All fingers are extended, and I can press evenly on all of them. No pain.

A cruelty of all this is that it rewards the people who are already the most privileged, the most likely to believe in their own ability / worth regardless of external cues, perhaps the most likely to overestimate themselves.
When a job says “5 years of FancyFramework experience,” I guarantee you that there is a lopsided distribution of identity traits (male, white, etc) to those people who are applying anyway despite only using FancyFramework for 2-3 years. And I guarantee you some of those people who don’t meet the “requirements” will be under real consideration for the hire.
It’s a self-selection process that amplifies any inequality a person can internalize.
