    Here's a fun story from my time at Mozilla. Remember that time accidentally sent a notification to all our mobile users that just said "monitor"? I was sent to run the retro on that, see what we could learn and prevent a recurrence.

    It would have been pretty easy to say "this person screwed up it's their fault" - and sure a human made a mistake - but I am an absolute believer in blameless, in-depth retrospectives as _the_ essential tool of safety, reliability and personal growth. So.

    Last night we re-watched "Black Widow".

    When you're not watching it in the context of boohoo Marvel just peaked and what is this unnecessary prequel sequel midquel nobody asked for ... and just watch it ... it's a pretty good movie. And fun! And the backstory backfill is actually a bit interesting.

    Thanks @hypolite for linking me to a better article on what's going on. The one I linked to got it backwards and made it sound like the embassy was making demands on random orgs to comply before they order from US suppliers.

    What's really going on is that embassies are making demands on the suppliers they normally sign contracts with, which makes a lot more sense logically, even if you disagree with their requirements.

    Analysis to follow.

    It is worded as objectively and reasonably as possible on the surface, but what lies underneath is the McCarthy era of our time.

    "US embassies have sent letters to contractors in their host countries demanding they certify that they do not run any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs that violate President Donald Trump’s executive order against race- and sex-based preferences."

    What is the executive order? It's page after page of rambling about how bad, corrupt and unfair things have become, and then we get to the concrete matter. It mixes up things that sound good and fair, banning discrimination based on race and gender, etc, with what seems like a tiny little jab at active equity work, but it's a barbed dagger that has big consequences.

    "The contractor shall not use any workplace training that inculcates in its employees [ . . . ] any form of race or sex scapegoating, including [ . . . ] an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously [ . . . ] members of one race or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race or sex [ . . . ] meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist"

    This means that you cannot teach about structural racism, subconscious racism, personalized treatment where it is logical and compassionate rather than racist, or how terms like “meritocracy” are often misused.

    You can still work on equity, but you have to be careful not to mention structural racism, or you risk invalidating yourself, or the whole course, or the department.

    My interpretation above may sound exaggerated, but what you can see happening in practice when anti-DEI comes into force is first of all that equity work stops.

    Best case, departments are renamed and told to reign it in a bit. But when people don't do their best at reducing the harm, but instead step up to satisfy the ideology behind the order, we see the U.S. Air Force taking down information and videos about Black and female pilots, and banning the use of that material in their training. We see government agencies taking down information that happens to mention certain words, firing entire teams whose jobs it was to reduce discrimination, etc.

    One of the things the MAGA people like to make a fuss about is so-called discrimination, supposed minority quotas, etc. Such programs have been around long before people started using the term DEI, when it was called “affirmative action”, but DEI work in general is not about that. The Executive Order even goes to the trouble of using the term “affirmative action” in a completely unrelated sense to further erode the boundaries of language.

    I eventually found tax receipts going back 5 years, and electric bills going back 2 more years, and as of a few weeks back I'm a validated permanent resident, yaay!

    @hypolite It was a speculative thought, not intended as deep analysis. I'll continue to enjoy their speculation. 😊

    Thank you for the patch request! I will check it out, merge it to my mental model and feed it back to the other conversation as well.

    "Evas Story" by Doktor Kosmos is an album that fires amazing one-liners, a dozen per minute, throughout the album.

    From time to time one of these one-liners will pop into my head, and the entire album will start playing in my thoughts.

    Today it was:

    "flummigt, sa han på släpig inbrottstjuvsstockholmska"

    "dopey, he said in a slow drawl burglar Stockholm accent"

    An acquaintance suggested that it might be malicious compliance on the embassy's part. If it is, maybe it's bizarre on purpose to make a point and stir things up.

    Rebalanced my PPM (Swedish 401k) to divest from the self-sabotaging US economy.

    I expect the general purpose funds will do it eventually, but so far in one year they lost the previous year's gains. USA funds lost even more, but I didn't have those.

    I'm keeping 50% general purpose funds (from 100%), but spreading 50% over Europe, Nordic, emerging markets.

    This year I'll probably renew my two-year contract rather than moving.

    I've been thinking that I should treat it as a "move" into my existing home and make it as nice as I would make it if someone else were moving in.

    @evan I've moved 20 times in the last 25 years, which I guess effectively means a deep clean, so with that in mind maybe I would have voted "about annually". 😅

    Every time I move out, I marvel at how clean the old home is now. 🤣

    @evan I don't have the cultural context to know what a "deep clean" entails, so I'm probably not doing it. I first heard the expression just last year or so.

    When a part of my home is messier or dirtier than I can accept, I bring it down to acceptable levels plus a bit further for margin. I certainly do a lot less cleaning than the generation before me, who basically had cleaning as one of their hobbies.

    @jerry @gollyhatch Maybe this has something to do with it:

    Back in November, VoA claimed that Ukrainian intelligence claimed that Russia was covertly exceeding its agreed quotas.

    Voice of America: "Report: Russia deceives OPEC on sales to fund Ukraine war"

    @jerry @gollyhatch If we look back two years, the big headlines were that OPEC and Russia agreed to cut production, which would benefit Russia. It's interesting that OPEC is reversing that now.
