Study finds manager scores for employee performance correlated to employee self-evals. Women and ppl of color tended to give themselves lower marks. Women of color rated themselves the least favorably and got the lowest scores from managers.

Why self-appraisals may not be best way to judge job performance — Harvard Gazette

Research shows women, workers of color rate themselves lower; manager ratings tend to mirror them if bosses read rankings before writing their own.

I made a mental list of horror movies I'm never going to watch but by making the thought explicit (can thoughts be explicit?) this is now something my subconscious can keep dangling in front of me. "Go on, it's just a movie..."

I clicked on a link and started reading. It read like a thoughtful interview from years passed...

And then I read this question: "You passed away on your eighty-eighth birthday – 4th August 2020. Do you reflect on mortality?"

What the fuck?

At the end of the article:
"Editorial note: This interview transcript is a work of dramatised historical reconstruction. Frances Allen died on 4th August 2020, and cannot speak. The words, reflections, and responses attributed to her in this document are constructed from historical records, published interviews, biographical materials, technical papers, and documented accounts of her life and work – but they are not her actual words, spoken in real time."

Tell me you used AI without telling me you used AI.

ALSO, this was "written" by a MAN dramatizing the perspective of a woman pioneer in computer science. He's got a whole series on dead woman.

FUCK RIGHT THE FUCK OFF.

RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/115719

In the 1990s I created a niche narrowly focused web-site on OpenGL.

(OpenGL was a narrow topic I focused on at the time.)

It was part of my tilde-site.

(tilde-sites were common if you got your web-site from a University or ISP.)

Sadly, it didn't get archived by the Internet Archive 🙁

The "online age verification is just like showing ID" talking point falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. Our new post breaks down why: eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/why-

Why Isn’t Online Age Verification Just Like Showing Your ID In Person?

This blog also appears in our Age Verification Resource Hub: our one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what age-gating laws actually do, what’s at stake, how to protect yourself, and why EFF opposes all forms of age verification mandates. Head to EFF.org/Age to explore our resources and...

> Millionen Follower, null Wirkung: „“ verkauft uns ein volles Stadion – und schaltet dann das Mikro stumm

Das riesige Fußballstadion ist vollbesetzt. Das Mikrofon liegt in Ihrer Hand. „Wenn Sie dort rein sprechen“ – so hat man es Ihnen immer wieder erklärt – „erreichen Sie besonders viele Menschen.“ In Wahrheit aber ist das Mikro nur für die Reihen eins bis drei freigeschaltet. Von den 80.000 Anwesenden hört Sie tatsächlich kaum jemand.

So funktioniert das bei allen sozialen Medien mit Algorithmus. ..

Technically nudity; album art ft. Greek statue w/ no pants on

I’m calling it; Higanbana by Sundrowned is my 2025 album of the year. Amazing blackgaze, tightly fused styles, almost laid-back and smooth? I’ve been listening to it nearly every day since it released and I am still in love.

youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK

sundrownedband.bandcamp.com/al

Album art. A Greek statue with its head and arms broken off. It’s surrounded by a large plant with green leaves wrapping around it, and it looks like the flowers of the plant are sprouting from its neck. The statue is nude and its junk has been snapped off as well. To the side, a red circle has two red lines drawn through it.
