Where in the article does it say Harvard was discriminating?

And that claim is based on what? Anecdotes?

I’m sorry, but I believe employment should be merit based only.

Maybe the problem lies with your interpretation? Inclusion means to include a thing. You can still hire based on merit while being inclusive. The whole point of DEI is to make sure a company isn’t missing out a massive talent pool because they’re focusing on a singular demographic.

But it’s explicitly not discrimination. It’s inclusion. Meaning “in addition to”. No one is left out by it lol.

The fact that DEI sounds good in theory but in practice it’s just systematic discrimination. Similar to Affirmative Action

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve known DEI policies and Affirmative Action to be commonly confused with each other, but distinctly different.

So through this whole article the author just pretends Linux distros don’t exist?

Any computer that can’t offer me a terminal window, root access, and the ability to type “python” to get into a REPL shell feels fake - an incomplete simulation of a real computer. Yes, I have iSH and aShell on my iPad Pro - great tools, yet neither offering the kind of power that I need when using PyTorch (which runs great on a bare-metal M2).

He never makes it clear why he’s continuously opting for Apple Silicon rather than any other device that isn’t tied to one specific vendor. Modern Linux kernels work with just about all modern hardware, even Apple Silicon in some scenarios (see Asahi Linux). Any of the popular distros will provide what he’s stated that he needs ootb. Overall it feels like he’s missing the forest for the two largest trees in front of them.

Very rare W for EA.

I haven’t gamed on Windows in a while, but when I did CheatEngine and WeMod were my goto.

CheatEngine has really good utility outside of cheats in particular. For a time you could unlock the camera on a lot of games to get some really good (or really broken) screenshots. Though for cheating in particular, I think it’s still pretty easy to find a CheatTable for most games.
