  • Even in the article they talk about it going further than fake black businesses. It’s really just a new form of deceitful advertising. You’ve already got businesses using black actors and supposedly AA vernacular to sell food or prodcuts or even those horrible betting platforms

    What’s funny about the whole thing is, for most regular popular advertising for larger companies, the ads wouldn’t look anything like these. Even if it had a black person, a poc, a white person, or a mix, the tone would be WAY different for those ads. It’s a super conscious exploitative choice.
















  • I’m of that minority. I don’t like looking at Skittles all day so I never turned it on way back when. When I see it it’s uncomfortable. But I’ve been so comfortable reading code, I don’t think I’ve felt like I’m missing something by not having syntax highlighting.

    The only time it’s ever useful is on the missing braces and the such, but I’ve built so many habits that I don’t run into that often and when I do I have very simple ways of getting around it. 🤷
