@grok @daniel_nguyenx @dannypostma @jessethanley so what are the benefits of the agentic inbox in this context @grok?

[ღiss ღe quicklツ 🇯🇵 @missmequickly]

if you can't see the white male power, privilege, and politics that underpins the entire tech world you mustn't use X, basecamp or shopify...

we should only respect programmers for their programming powers

and we should only respect sports people for their sporting prowess

its a mistake to respect people for anything except for what we know is true 💔

[Kaka Ruto @kaka_ruto]

I love and respect dhh as much as any other young programmer who is inspired by his love for computers.

But I can't help but imagine that, as a black person, he would not want to see me living in Denmark or the larger Europe, regardless of my contribution to the country.

He would prefer Europe to look like it did in the 80s, or to be as homogeneous as Japan, as he said on the Lex pod.

He mentions having a positive contribution to the society, but after listening to him more, it seems to me that he cares far less about that than about whether the immigrant looks more like him.

That means, even if I contribute to their economy, pay my taxes, raise my family there, and integrate into the culture, he would not really want to see me move there with my immediate black family, because I would be disturbing their homogeneity.

I thought for days about what that actually means. It means no matter what I do, no matter how much I give, the door will always come with an asterisk. "You're welcome, but only if you physically blend in."

I lived in London and Amsterdam. I contributed positively to their economies, that's why they let me in, in the first place. And I like to think I am well assimilated into the society and culture.

But because I do not look like what Britain looked like 100 years ago, nor does my immediate family, dhh would rather not have me live in Europe, or even marry there!?

By that logic, would you also tell Jude Bellingham he doesn't belong? Or Sir Lewis Hamilton? Or Marcus Rashford, who fed millions of British children during the pandemic when the government wouldn't? If dhh's version of Europe has no room for people who look like them, then what he is really saying is that contribution doesn't matter. Appearance does.

And I get that not everyone assimilates equally, and that it is okay to have standards for who you want in your turf. Every nation has a right to shape its immigration policy. That is not what I am arguing against.

But why do it in a way that clearly shows favour and discrimination in equal measure based on how a person looks? Why not simply judge from person to person, instead of categorizing whole groups and communities?

Europe immensely benefited from Africa and its resources. They went to Africa and laid the entire continent to siege, extracting minerals, labour, and wealth for centuries.

My country is still reeling from those effects to date, having gained independence only about half a century ago.

And yet, merely 50 years later, Europe is so harsh to Africans that they do not want them, even legally, accessing opportunities in Europe?

There is something deeply contradictory about benefiting from a continent for centuries and then shutting its people out when they come seeking the same prosperity your ancestors built on their backs.

Britain has a huge healthcare crisis and a massive shortage of healthcare workers. Guess who is the backbone of that? Immigrants, most of them African and South Asian. They work night shifts, they hold the system together, and they do it quietly.

Isn't it irresponsible to walk into a hospital and say, "I do not like the demographics of this hospital. I would have preferred if it looked like it did in the 80s"?

I used to think people had a problem with illegal immigration. But no, it is not illegal immigration they oppose. They simply do not want immigration from certain parts of the world. God forbid if you are just a good human being from that part of the world yearning for better opportunities.

You can have a PhD, speak the language fluently, pay more in taxes than most locals, and still be told you don't belong, simply because you don't look the part.

Why won't we just vet individuals and give everyone a fair chance? Judge the person, not the group. Character, not colour. Contribution, not complexion. I beleive this is not a radical idea, it is the bare minimum of fairness.

To dhh, please don't block me for asking this 😅, and I really do hope I am wrong and that you clarify this. Would you happily let me and my black family become your neighbours in Copenhagen, if I don't have a problem with assimilation? Do you feel the same about the USA?

I am genuinely asking these questions and I welcome discourse here bc I really do want to believe dhh is a good person and he does not have a problem with people who are not white.

And if the answer is no, then what we are really saying is that there is no amount of effort that makes someone like me acceptable. And that is a huge problem for all of us.

I hope I am wrong.
Kaka.

hai, “In 2025, Hansson published a blog post expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests, as well as mourning that London is "no longer full of native Brits"...”

@Dr_Gingerballs im still lauging after seeing someone on twitter referring to as “Temu Jesus on coke”... 🤭🤭🤭

[ღiss ღe quicklツ 🇯🇵 @missmequickly]

@leostera someone on twitter referred to DHH as “Temu Jesus on coke”. i've never met Jesus or DHH but after seeing him quoting the bible recently it seems too true 🤭

@elonmusk so we should respect Twitter's transition to X but you refuse to acknowledge or respect anyone else transition, including your own child's?

seems hypocrytical?

@VanpeltVentures so by “hook” you mean “bait”?

how wholesome

It’s a bit of a stretch. DHH made Rails, a web framework which is now almost entirely dead due to almost legendary poor performance at scale, and some bullshit SaaS company in which they had an internal ranking page where employees voted on the “funniest ethnic customer names”

X monetization is kinda crazy. This makes it $25,000 in payouts over the past month! I might not be able to pay for my Omarchy donation in a year, but a Tesla Roadster should be possible 😄
