Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Last week 404 Media reported on some DOGE deposition videos.
The videos were since removed via court order, but are available on Internet Archive.
For anyone unfamiliar: this slots under TechTakes because DOGE is basically Elon Musk's army of naive fascist silicon valley tech-bros rampaging about the federal government with Chat-GPT, SQL, and unsecured thumb-drives.
This article is behind a paywall, but links to the following video snippets from the depositions:

For example here Justin Fox talks about deleting federal grants that he considered in-scope for an anti DEI executive order: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVtOiqJjcu4/
Q: "Why is a documentary about Holocaust survivors DEI"
A: "It's the gender based story 🤷 that's inherently discriminatory to focus on this specific group 🙄."
Q: "It's inherently discriminatory to focus on what specific group?"
A: "The gender based. So, females 🤷 during the Holocaust."
He goes on to clarify that it's DEI because it focuses on Jewish women. Oh that's OK then!
There is a lot of video to work through but I know there is more ~~comedy gold~~ rage inducing punchable nazi snippets within.

Behold: the Silicon Valley masters of opsec.
"Do you think there's a reason why the DSA didn't allow you to use Signal or other apps on your government phone?"
"No."
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE "S" STANDS FOR YOU IGNORANT CHILD??
Just gonna file this on my mental list of reasons I didn't go into law.
