@joeroganhq He would lose in a landslide, like massively - and he can't fix America, so not sure why he could fix California

@Amank1412 Meta was betting on Metaverse after Covid. that’s why they was so behind the AI race.

@LundukeJournal Not surprising! I interviewed at Google and Microsoft, and 10 out of 10 times, if the hiring manager was Indian, I was rejected—even after passing all prior technical rounds. The manager always asked irrelevant questions and decided I wasn’t a good fit. Quite absurd!
English

The CEO of Microsoft (Satya Nadella, from India) just hired a new, unqualified VP of Xbox (Asha Sharma, whose family is from India), replacing a white guy (Phil Spencer).
Normally the ethnicity of a person in a role doesn't actually matter. Who cares what part of the world a person has ancestry from, as long as they do a good job... right?
But, in this case, it's worth pointing out a strange -- highly racist -- pattern within Microsoft.
That pattern is this:
Microsoft managers from India, disproportionately hire people also from India (even if those people are less qualified than other, non-Indian, candidates).
A pattern which is overtly racist and anti-meritocracy.
In the case of Asha Sharma, the new Xbox lead, this is glaringly obvious... as she has no experience, whatsoever, working in games. Zero. Not a drop of gaming. (Her longest tenures were at Instacart and working on Facebook messaging.)
Are we to believe that there were zero candidates available, to lead one of the largest gaming organizations in the world (Xbox), with significant experience working in the gaming industry? Not *one*?
That is extremely unlikely. In fact, I can say with absolute certainty that there are many managers and directors, already working within Microsoft, with extensive experience (decades) shipping successful games and gaming hardware.
And that's just the internal candidates.
Which means that Asha Sharma was likely hired for a reason other than her applicable work experience.
It is a reasonable assumption, based on Microsoft's established patterns, that she was hired because of her ethnicity.
Microsoft is one of the largest users of H1-B visas within the entire Tech industry -- with the vast majority of those H1-B's going to employees from India.
More workers from India, replacing non-Indian workers. Every Microsoft employee has seen this happen over the years.
A little personal anecdote:
Back in the late 1990's, I worked within a small team at Microsoft (only a dozen or so people). When I first joined, the team looked roughly like the surrounding area (Redmond, WA): Mostly white, with one Indian, and one Korean.
It was roughly proportional to the community.
The Indian man was then promoted to a management position. And, quickly, things changed.
In less than 1 year, the team was now predominantly Indian (with a few people of other Asian ancestry)... with only 3 White guys remaining.
Within a single year, the demographic ratio had flipped. It now no longer matched the city in which we worked.
Then things got weird.
The team moved to a new floor of the building, and every employee within the group was given their own, individual office.
Well. Every employee... except for the 3 White guys.
We were put, together, in the smallest office available. The size of a long, thin closet. In fact... I believe it was originally just a storage closet.
It was so cramped that, whenever the guy at the back of the "office" needed to leave the room... the other two guys had to get up and exit one at a time. Single file.
We called it "The Honky Closet".
All requests for the "Honkies" to move to space where we could fit was denied by non-Honky management (despite several offices remaining empty).
The purpose was clear. It was one, of many, attempts to get the remaining "White guys" to willingly quit. Which we all did within a matter of months.
And, yes, those roles we also replaced with "non-Honkies".

@Eng_china5 she doesn’t need to play games to get the job. her connections get her the job.

FUN BREAK: This is the account of the new Xbox head, Asha Sharma.
The strange thing is that her first achievement is on January 16, 2026, and all the achievements are from different games with the same dates!
It seems the account was pre-set by Microsoft (a PR account) to show the gamers that she plays games or understands them.

Asha Sharma (Indian origin) has been appointed as the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming.

@egalitar1an @FuckElon51315 @grok @remarks You can’t renew a visa indefinitely unless you have legitimate reasons. A visa is meant for a temporary stay for a specific purpose, such as tourism or working in specific fields.
Since she can’t renew her visa, I assume she did something wrong and therefore couldn’t renew it.

@MrPhantom25 @remarks Would you let a guest overstay in your house for 30 years? That guest would use your electricity and water to “work” and pay you no bills?

@remarks If she worked and did nothing wrong then she is a U.S. citizen, If you work like one then you can be like one, Be American and be united to all, Be nice, It’s incredible

@Stephensmet @floridanow1 @disclosetv ASML is not entirely developed by EU. it has hundreds of companies that provide technology for hundreds of proprietary components and majority of these companies and from the US
English

@floridanow1 @disclosetv Cool. We shut down ASML exports to US, dump our US treasuries and close US logistic bases in EU. Watch him get impeached within 24 hours.

@libsoftiktok @ICEgov can't wait to see the news headline on her deportation

“I am an immigrant, I am undocumented, unafraid, queer, and unashamed!”
Would be a shame if @ICEgov sees this! x.com/RealJessica05/…

@DualPowerThreat @j1breel @disclosetv Remember a couple of years ago, there were an FB employee who accidentally messed up the server and it took down Instagram for a while. He jumped off the building and killed himself because I was so afraid of paying for millions of dollars in lost revenue for the outage.
English

@j1breel @disclosetv y'all ever hear of "we're going to do some server maintenance, the site will be down X time" messages? b/c that's what companies do when there is planned maintenance. You're not fooling anyone
English

@DualPowerThreat @j1breel @disclosetv Totally agree with this. I work as Site Reliability Engineer and I know that in order to shut down the entire the system to fix bugs or upgrade, they need to notify the clients beforehand. Plus, it normaly takes few minutes to under an hour to do the maintenance. 6hrs is bizarre.
