Here is one for example, but honestly with some basic googling you can find so much literature on this.
There is another example of a study where they just sent out various applications to specific job postings and just by having a more western/white/christian name the chances of getting noticed was significantly higher vs having a more minority name, even though the qualifications of all of the applications were exactly the same.
People are inheritly very biased, metiocracy in general doesn't exist or if it does its extremely shallow.

People apply with all the right credentials and qualifications
They nail all the answers in the interview.
They are hired.
They are terrible.
How? There are other factors besides credentials and qualifications that can determine a good choice.

I'm taking a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing you definition of "toxic political extremism" is probably something to do with trying to reach out to under represented groups? In which case, I also hope it does some good and they continue to invest in those areas.

LMAO it's so typical for our friend a few posts before to be so (in their own lingo) "passive aggressive" towards plain, skeptical, and honest reporting. Because all of their mind boggling hypocrisy is easily debunked in a few (hundred) words. The world of (neo-)marxist entitled "philosophers" is truly a backwards one.

The Gnome Foundation really only needs an administrative, finance and legal team to manage and advise the Gnome Project. Everything else is unnecessary.

I read this in this thread:
> Also KDE benefits heavily by Qt Company
The whole reason for GNOME's existence is that they did not want to use Qt (license issues that was being resolved). So they took Gimp's internal toolkit (hence GTK) and build a desktop on that. Last time I checked Gimp was actually bringing in donation money that was redistributed to other aspects of GNOME's development. So we can all see how that "amazing collaboration" works out for Gimp.
And all of this while RedHat/IBM is the patron. Wow.

From taking just a short glance at Lunduke's content, you can deduct that he pretty much built an entire career out of feeding his audience complete manipulative garbage on a regular basis, and they happily gobble it up and thank him on their knees for it.
And just like that, yet another anti-woke brainrot pipeline got added to my filter list. Miss me with that high school-tier drama bait shit. Too bad I can’t say the same for others, but well, guess the grift can’t go on by itself.Last edited by Pirunvirsi; 09 October 2024, 03:54 PM.
