  • The word you used is "required" I'm pointing out that's false. The only person who can require you to do something is you.

  • Last time I drank a bunch of mulled wine in Germany during Christmas, I went to the train station and found it was closed.

    Its absurd that the trains dont run all night, especially on holidays where everyone is out drinking and trying to not drive or bike intoxicated

  • First, this is just a US thing. But in the US it also used to be illegal to help slaves run away. Just because some judge says you have to do something doesn't mean you should do it.

  • Actually I agree with Daniel. That's exactly what they should do. I'm not justifying why the company chose to fire him; they made the evil choice and stand on the wrong side of history. I'm just explaining what happened.

  • Corporations are required to protect their shareholders,

    Corporations definitely are not required to protect their shareholders, especially when those shareholders are championing genocide.

    Anyway, this is yet another reason why for-profit companies should be illegal. The goal of an organization should be to help the world, not make as much money as possible.

  • They just pull their funding, and everyone looses their job. No firing needed.

  • He attacked their investors by name and said they support a genocide. Either they back him and everyone looses their job or they fire him

  • Grear idea! I'm curious if theres an equivalent for BLM that can be forked

  • This is why I hate startup culture. When you give off your equity to capitalist fat cats, you make yourself a bootlickers of mainstream discourse, even if that discourse is calling for genocide.

  • Is there a mastodon frontend that doesn't require JS? I can't load the toot you linked-to

  • I don't know what to do, but I know these are not my people. Who can work with people whitewashing genocide. Are we supposed to pretend it's business as usual as we send our friends' intros, frolic at conferences, discuss monetization strategy.

    To Ed Sim, Erica Brescia, Michael Dearing, and especially Matt Ocko, we're done [47]. I'll never pitch you again, never ask for help, never send intros or recommend you. I'm done with Boldstart, and DCVC, and Harrison Metal, and Redpoint. (I’m also done with Bessemer [48] and Sequoia [49] and First Round [50].)

    Damn, the balls on this guy. Very inspiring

  • When you read about the Holocaust and the Nazis, you like to imagine you'd be the good guy. You'd fight the Nazis, you'd free the concentration camps. But apparently I wouldn't. Apparently I would have just sat there paralyzed, incapable of doing anything about the genocide I see every day. Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid...

    I wasn't ready to see that my friends are Brownshirts [34]. That they actively cheer on the genocide...I wasn't ready for my friends being [concentration] camp guards, party officials, propagandists.

    Fuck, such an accurate picture

  • Reproducable actions that do exactly what you expect.

  • Very surprised by all the advertising and data broker company boot lickers that are ITT

  • Eh, surprised that's happening to someone in this community. Strip Google off your phone and throw out any hardware with a microphone that doesn't run open source software and this will stop happening.

  • Seems funny how you keep saying from the company as if somehow asking s murderer with red bloody hands if they did it is somehow a creditable source
