throwaway0x1on Ronald Reagan fires 11,359 air-traffic controllers (1981)

Do you really expect us to believe that you don't know the concept of an "illegal strike"?

Then again, your profile picture is a soyboy face, and you're constantly spewing braindead leftist dribble, so, no one should be surprised by your glaring ignorance and naivety.

>A strike, by definition, cannot be illegal. That includes armed forces and every federal employee.

Wrong. A strike, by definition, as actually defined in federal law, can indeed be illegal. That includes armed forces and every federal employee.

>The Communist Party in China has led an economic boom over the last 40 years absolutely unprecedented in human history.

Thanks to capitalism and Western democracies. Taiwan and HK accelerated at a speed exceeding the CCP, by decades.

throwaway0x1on AMA: Gaël Duval, founder of the de-Googled Android OS /e/

When compared to GrapheneOS, Duval claims:

"If you want something with hardened security, use Graphene, if you want something that help you keep your data safe from Google, use /e/. It depends on your needs."

GrapheneOS is already de-Googled, so, it's the better option?

throwaway0x1on Substack: How We Approach Moderation Decisions

Sounds like neo-Puritan pearl clutching to me. Are we back in the 90s?

"Eminem's lyrics are so mean-spirited and hostile. It would really make the issue a lot more clear-cut if they could find a way to got him to knock it off."

throwaway0x1on Preliminary board statement on FSF governance

"They hated him because he told the truth"

This same logic can be applied to woke/leftist activists at work: So don’t cave to their demands. If you do cave in, and backtrack, and apologize - there’ll be no redemption for you, just people piling on you from both sides, leaving you feeling like you should have grown a spine and defended rationality against the modern witch hunt that is cancel culture.

Unironically saying "toxic masculinity" is definitely leftist.

Indeed it was, two decades ago... Linux has taken the pole position in supported architectures now though.

throwaway0x1on Fired GitHub employee reaches ‘amicable resolution’ with company

When "white supremacy" is anything right of Trotsky, math[1], acronyms[2], getting to work on time[3], objectiveness[3], etc., then yes, denouncing these things is delusional leftism.

throwaway0x1on Fired GitHub employee reaches ‘amicable resolution’ with company

After reading his deranged dribble, all the pieces came together:

After numerous occasions of him spewing his toxic delusional leftism all over GitHub's internal Slack, he was finally shown the door.

The take away is that he had enough entryist comrades internally to put the pressure on GitHub until they finally cratered and had to backtrack.

Be warned: fire activist employees early, or don't hire them at all. They will only end up costing you in the end, and will make your corporate culture a toxic cesspool.
