There literally is no ruse.

The "test" is "are you shitty toward women".

Making assumptions and then acting on those assumptions (particularly in a hiring scenario) is, indeed, shitty shithead behavior.

In 15 years of interviewing (both sides of the table) at FAANGs, universities, startups, hedge funds, and the us federal government, I can think of exactly one time I was given an itinerary outlining who I'd speak with, and zero when one of my candidates was provided with one.

No, when cops do what's described, it's called an undercover assignment. Entrapment is when the police encourage the forbidden behavior. In no way shape nor form is having a woman greet you coming near entrapment.

As for having a CEO play custodian, sure, it's a poor use of my time in leadership, but at the end of the day, I don't care who is carrying a mop around the office. I do care about keeping out the shitheads who feel they're entitled to disrespect someone because they're carrying a mop.

What is the stupid game, exactly? Filtering if the candidate is an asshat towards women?

Yes, and wealthy people are in the position to plunk down that money up front. People who are less privileged frequently have to take advantage of that form of "financing" offered by the carrier.

Remember, by being wealthy, we frequently have to pay a lot less than people who get by month to month. There should be no shock here.

You're basically describing WebOS and FirefoxOS.

WebOS lives on as LuneOS (and runs on the pinephone), but FirefoxOS effectively went closed source and became KaiOS.

Most people you know are wealthy then.

Not only were the Maemo/Meego devices based on Linux, but they embraced a lot of desktop standards. Telephony/messaging all went through Telepathy, UI was GTK under Maemo, then QT under Meego. The app store was just an apt/dpkg frontend.

The lack of a self-hosted push notification system is a massive hole in the user privacy story for users of all phones.

I dream of being able to configure my phone (be it android, linux, or ios) to proxy all communication with push services through a host I control.

At the nitty-gritty implementation level, I kind of hope the LinuxPhone world adopts Matrix as a standardish notification transport.

Maybe?

My point with the above comment was more to point out that there is no special '"presumptive good faith" pass' that comes along with a .edu e-mail address, not that it's possible to subvert the system (that's already well known).

Everyone, including some random dude with a Hackers (1995) reference for an e-mail address (myself) gets that "presumptive good faith" pass.

They do if the patch "looks good" to the right people.

In late January I submitted a patch with no prior contributions, and it was pushed to drm-misc-next within an hour. It's now filtered it's way through drm-next and will likely land in 5.13.

But how will you ever succeed if you don't outsource all but your core competencies while your core competencies simultaneously converge on banking/investment/midde-manning?

Yeah, they definitely should have bailed on the acquisition when the acquiring company asked for proof they weren't using code they didn't have a license to....

I use this method as well, but instead of force adding files, I use an inverted .gitinore.

    *
    !/.bashrc
    !/.config/
    !/.config/monitors.xml

This lets me quickly quickly detect changes in my working dir while still explicitly adding each tracked file.
