The hilarity of tech companies celebrating Black History with zero black employees. It's almost a parody at this point.
@guerrillarain @a_breakin_glass *inadvertently starts a bat-shaving craze*
@guerrillarain @shoutcacophony
"Why do you have a bat-shaving app?"
"Our CEO's a sentient bat."
@a_breakin_glass @guerrillarain "Which completely validates our non-existent human minority hiring. We stand with the human-occupying bat population, and the "three overly large weasels in a trenchcoat" community. Next question."
@shoutcacophony @guerrillarain
"Why're you wearing such a large coat? And what was that about weasels?"
"Er...No comment! Next question."
@a_breakin_glass @shoutcacophony @guerrillarain almost offtopic : in French bats are named "chauve-souris", literally "bald-mouse"
So yeah, the app idea sounds even more silly.
@Ronflaix @a_breakin_glass @guerrillarain imagine all the heated arguments over whether being bat-facing or bald-mouse-facing is good UX, all because someone got hired to implement localization properly
which of course will result in the localization expert being fired and it still not being implemented in a non-broken way, 79,000 years later
of course, the UX will still be broken as well
@shoutcacophony @a_breakin_glass @guerrillarain The frenchies are at it again!
@guerrillarain my library celebrating black history by putting on display only history books about a specific period of time (whether any were written by poc I have no clue) instead of fantasy or music written by poc
Mention of historical slavery Afficher plus
@guerrillarain "But we're trying to think about maybe having black employees in the future, funding and resource allocation permitting, at our next retreat."
Later: *Invests $50m into a bat-shaving app*
