  • Without revealing too much personal information, I was laid off from Intel a few months ago. They did a huge downsizing in my division and I think it’s gonna fuck up the organization long term inshallah At least one of the people on my former team left the company shortly after the layoffs (and thes person had been there almost 10 years) and I expect more will do similarly

    I started working there because the technical side of the work seemed interesting, and I didn’t reflect critically enough on their position as a US military contractor as well as a huge supporter of the Zionist entity. The cognitive dissonance started building in my head when they announced a $3b investment in the occupied Palestinian territories for them to open a new chip plant (and this was since the genocide started), which made me very upset. I was getting ready to quit when I got laid off, which ended up being the best outcome because I got severance lol

    Anyone have any leads on any tech companies that are actually ethical? lenin-dont-laugh



  • I think federally at least sexuality is a protected characteristic, but I don’t think the courts in Idaho would respect that so you’d need to have the funds to appeal it up a few levels

    Btw the ruling to make sexuality a protected characteristic was an incredibly rare Gorsuch W where he ruled that discriminating based off of sexual orientation was discriminating based off of sex (i.e. if you refuse service to Jim because Jim dates Bob, but you wouldn’t refuse service to Jane because Jane dates Bob, then that’s implicitly discrimination based off of sex)


  • Not the OP, but looked some things up because I was curious. Ente has a 2Tb storage option that costs $300/year or $30/mo; not sure how much you pay for that much storage in Google Photos. Their FAQ says they have an easy import process from Google Photos via Google Takeout (bulk download your data from all Google services). No idea if ente respects the geotags but I imagine they would (seems like an important feature for a Google photos killer).
