    No. It means implying something from something more tame. For example, in this case, it’s an objection to any support for gay, trans etc. Rather than saying that outright, they’d say DEI is over the top. Which is attending to sound subtle and against a policy or practice when it’s against minorities. Its a dog whistle. Like anti-immigration is usually used in as a racist dog whistle.












  • I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.









  • Best to just lead with the facts. “Due to having issues with x, y and z, I went to the doctor. After further investigation it has been confirmed as stage 2 xxxxxx cancer. I’m still trying to understand more about it.”

    As another poster said, give them time to emotionally process this. They care about you so are naturally going to be affected and that is fine. Doing this in person is preferable.
