[07:44] schestowitz[TR2] sigh, then they would hire white males

[07:44] schestowitz[TR2] it is almost as if the majority shareholder specifically targeted white males, hmm"

[07:44] schestowitz[TR2] I dont know what IBM is referenced here. In my organization all I saw were white men on the top and that was 4 layers of them. Dont worry white men are still running a lot of the business. It seems like more white men are being forced out because there are more of them. IBM has gotten rid a lot people of color and as hard as it is to believe they made up a small percent of the workforce. There arent many others to le
[07:44] schestowitz[TR2] t go. There are a lot of unqualified people at IBM and its not because of DEIwhat I saw was a lot of you get pushed up based on who you know. So tired of the DEI/Woke narrative IBM does not care about anyone. They will eat their own soon enough.

[08:22] schestowitz[TR2] One big issue with Linux / SteamOS gaming is a lack of anti-cheat support, and it seems Electronic Arts (EA) have future plans for supporting the platform.

[20:02] schestowitz[TR2] @D6. Job 1 at IBM is lower costs! Quality/skill/knowledge doesnt matter as IBM is a monopoly when it comes to Mainframe and thus can outlast the skilled experienced void. Its logical for management to say they are going to hire a bunch of band 6s. It allows them to reduce band 9s and up. EG it reduces costs and fulfills Job 1.
