DEI during hiring is things like:

• Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
• Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities

DEI during employment is things like:

• continuing unconscious bias training
• educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
• encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):

• A slur for non-white male presenting people
• A diversity hire
• A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word

To the small handful of socially liberal and fiscally conservative folks that found this thread let me ask a few questions:

• Does it make more fiscal sense to build a chemical treatment plant next to a neighborhood of people that can afford lawyers or a neighborhood of those that can’t?
• What is the social makeup of each of those neighborhoods?
• How did that social makeup come to be?

The hatred of property tax really pisses me off.

I have a mortgage on the house in which I reside. I have to pay property tax on the house in which I reside. My annual property taxes are less than half the minimum monthly payment for my mortgage. If I can afford my monthly payment I can afford my taxes. If I can’t afford my monthly payment the taxes aren’t the problem.

And what do I actually get for that less than half a monthly mortgage payment in annual taxes?

• 2 large parks with miles of walking paths, a playground, a basketball and a soccer court, all maintained and within 2 blocks
• maintained roads to my house that are cleaned regularly
• decent schools nearby

Yes, I recognize I got lucky and am privileged enough to have, not just stable housing, but that which I “own,” but that just makes my distaste of the hatred of property taxes all the greater.

They don’t pay attention to the world around them.

My initial take away after watching it was pretty much the same. It’s not a new story, it’s an old one that is still going on.

But I think this documentary is a huge step in fighting for Palestine.

The documentary did a great job at repackaging that story in a format I think is more accessible to western audiences than just watching Al-Jazeera.

As for where I find hope, it’s difficult, but in community engagement. Volunteering with existing groups or even just helping people on your own.

bypassing encryption that prevents unauthorized copying

Not very good at “preventing” if you can just bypass, is it?

Can’t possibly imagine how.

You could read it, it’s pretty short.

Here’s what the AUP says about porn:

You may not use any of Mozilla’s services to:

• …
• Upload, download, transmit, display, or grant access to content that includes graphic depictions of sexuality or violence,
• …

So yeah, in that sense it “says what it says about porn.” It’s just that “what it says about porn” is in a list of things you can’t use their services for and before the only mention of how to use their “product.”

Through their various agreements and terms Mozilla makes a clear distinction between products and services and has clear guidelines on how you can use them. When the TOS says “obey the AUP” and the AUP says “don’t use our services for porn and don’t sell our products or services” then viewing porn with their product is not a violation of their AUP and thus not a violation of their TOS.

Ultimately, however, the final decision would have to be resolved in court.

The Acceptable Use Policy contains guidelines for services and guidelines for products. The Firefox TOS says “Your use of Firefox must follow Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy, and you agree that you will not use Firefox to infringe anyone’s rights or violate any applicable laws or regulations.” The only part of the Acceptable Use Policy that pertains to products is “You also may not sell, resell, or duplicate any Mozilla product or service without written permission from Mozilla.” Mozilla has a separate TOS for their services.

Therefore, you can look at porn in FF as long as you don’t bundle FF in a Linux repo without their written permission, but you can’t look at porn when using their VPN.

Here ya go

If New Zealand were to start bombing raids, install boots on the ground, and claim for themselves as their God given sovereign lands the conflicted area of Sudan would we also say that Sudan started it?

Nazi salutes and internment camps sure are a good place to start!

Then there’s selling shirts with swastikas on them and talking about poisoning the blood of our people.

Beyond that there are a lot of scary similarities like book bans, transphobia, and attempts to overthrow the government.

Oh and of course, rubbing shoulders with Nazis and not bothering to criticise them!

Well them are some outrageous unfounded claims. Ya got any evidence of that beyond a doctored interview and some Russian funded Cameos?

Explain to me how Ukraine wanting to join an alliance that includes the US is anyone trying to defend themselves from the US.

Given that the US has already been telegraphing that they want to invade Mexico I would not blame Mexico for looking at all available options to defend themselves.

And Russia quickly demonstrated why Ukraine was right to want such things.

They’re in addition to and a part of the season pass mechanic which means you get the worst of both systems?!

Fuck ICE

This isn’t one of those instances where freedom of speech is allowed.

I love how you just reiterated your erroneous point verbatim without clarification.

Be respectful of others.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion or my comment.

Gonna ignore you now since you don’t have an answer to my question.

1. I have answered your question in a top level comment; your not liking the answer doesn’t mean I haven’t answered.
2. That’s your right as much as it’s my right to answer your question as I see fit or to point out the dichotomy of your actions and words.

It seems you don’t actually know what freedom of speech is.

Freedom of speech means the government can’t get you in trouble for what you say.

Freedom of speech does not mean what you have to say is valuable, relevant, or required to be protected, platformed, or promoted by private capital or individuals. Lemmy instances by and large are not products of governments used to curtail your right to say what you want–they’re private entities who’s own freedom of speech and association allow them to make a determination about whether you’re an acceptable entity to keep around.

If you think you’re an acceptable entity to keep around when no one else does, feel free to start your own instance.

Sure it is.

And even if it weren’t that doesn’t make your comment about you getting butt hurt from someone telling you to be better for seeking out where you can be a bigot any less ironic.
