Everyone who has ever been laid off was laid off because of mismanagement.

Galletasalada,

@inquiline @dan613 @sidereal The US employer healthcare system is based on the programs of German industrialist Alfred Krupp who was a racist weirdo who loved the smell of horseshit, but was unfortunately further left than most of today's Democratic politicians.

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 I should say that Krupp Stalhwerke served as an inspiration for the company town/corporate social responsibility model that American industrialists like Pullman did more shitty with less benefits. The employer based system as we have it now dates back to 1942 when corporations had to find a way to spend money to avoid being taxed on it under wartime laws. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8689109/

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 So there is not really a direct linkage but industrialists in the era on both sides of the Atlantic all knew each other/invested in each others' companies/shared political ideologies. That's how Prescott Bush (GWB's grandpa) helped try to do the Business Plot to overthrow the US government in the 1930s.

Galletasalada,

@sidereal @inquiline @dan613 American tax policy has such devastating consequences, it's like functionally the equivalent of economic state planning a la USSR https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-obamacare-health-care-employers-20170224-story.html

It seems like a lot of liberal fears about a second Trump presidency revolve around the expectation that he will do to the white majority what US presidents have been doing to brown people for centuries.

Galletasalada,

@HeavenlyPossum I get this, and I agree, the US settler state has always been fascist. Trump does want to do it a little differently than he did before though. I do think Trump literally wants to put me in a concentration camp for being pansexual and nonbinary, and put everyone I love in a camp for being immigrants or the children of immigrants, so he has actually amplified the genocidal rhetoric, but that doesn't mean it was OK the first time, or when Biden continued his same racist ass policy for longer. So it's like yeah all presidents are bastards, but for me I would definitely have immigrant fam mortally threatened by a Trump Admin 2.0.

Got what I am almost certain is again because one way masking is the norm in shitty eugenicist USA. My N95 protects them from me spreading it around more though lol, even though it can't protect me one way, I test and mask and isolate so the virus stops here. are negative but that doesn't mean anything. How many Americans are just going to work with what they think is a cold, because they have no sick time and can't get that precious positive COVID test that will stop the ?

The #LogoFail #UEFI #exploit is a perfect example of how capitalism fucks everything up. So many people worked so hard on securing UEFI against #bootkits but having a goddamn image load was necessary for capitalist "intellectual property" to be enforced, thus opening this vulnerability for literally every Windows and Linux system with a hardware manufacturer logo loading in boot, which is most of them. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/

This isn't a security fail, it's a #capitalism fail, because the social/legal regime of #intellectualproperty is actually unnecessary and oppressive, and in this case prevented people from designing secure systems.

Galletasalada,

@TexasObserver @TheConversationUS The ethics of dissection basically mirrors that of other state institutions in the racist settler colony of USA. But it's just a little more obvious when medical students are commenting on how they were lied to & scarred by the knowledge that they contributed to the symbolic violence of using people's corpses without their consent. Everything happens as if there was an agreement between institutions that these poor, often black people don't matter as much as other people do. Saying means changing the situation so society and institutions act as if they actually agree with that statement.

Medical goes far beyond the borders of the USA, as well. My aunt tells me she had a real human skeleton that she took with her on the bus to and from medical school in a case. I just kinda muttered at the Thanksgiving dinner table that the skeleton was probably sold to the broker from somewhere in Asia, as India is one of the countries where historically a lot of medical skeletons came from. I have my doubts as to whether it was acquired ethically. I think, like with cocoa or coltan or other similar products, one has to assume that it wasn't ethical unless proven otherwise.

Galletasalada,

@mishi @TheConversationUS @TexasObserver it happens in the USA too https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-bodies-brokers/

Galletasalada,

@TheConversationUS @mishi @TexasObserver there is no need for you to be like this. The previous post I made, I mentioned India. I don't know why you need to be rude and abrasive and harmful. It's very strange and unnecessary

    @LeftistLawyer when I used to work at a big box store it was decided by the corporate head office and they'd send out an email and some poor schmuck had to go out and change it, but they did it so often that I always assumed someone had just forgotten to put it back up

    The only place I have found Palestinian voices is on Twitter, even as a broken site, and even with all the censorship of Palestinian voices. And the most heartbreaking thing is when journalists who were updating us with the most horrific updates, photos and videos tweet "this might be my last tweet," and their friends say "X's home was bombed and we haven't heard from them in 3 hours" "a new day and there is no news about X."

    Galletasalada,

    @timnitGebru thank you for speaking out about this. You are a great inspiration to those who want to make tech antifascist

    Really wish that I had created a virtual machine to run Adobe products in for work because then I could just nuke it from orbit now that the license has been disabled, because it's really hard to remove all the crap they install. Adobe products have the exact same features as software that used to be known as malware back in the day.

    bluesky has this cool feed where you can see every post from your followers and I wish I had that on mastodon

    (i can imagine a few different ways to achieve the same thing here but it’s really nice to be able to just click on it casually)

    Galletasalada,

    @b0rk you can make a feed that is just your followers by making a list with all your followers but it doesn't update dynamically nor can you batch edit. BS's ability to easily edit feeds is something mastodon can emulate. I think tags were supposed to be the way to make feeds too but they don't really work that way.

    , did you know that your compost is going to be sent to Washington state to be turned into natural gas by Enbridge, the evil-ass pipeline corporation that has brutalized so many protestors against and ? https://globalnews.ca/news/9945552/enbridge-divert-break-ground-renewable-fuel-facility-washington/ They are going to take your municipal compost and compost from Vancouver, rot the food into methane, and send it off to be burned for power. This is somehow considered and somehow counts towards Washington state carbon reduction goals.

    Soon I hope people suggest driving an older car without these telemetry features to improve your security posture. Even you are using all and secure apps and stuff and everything encrypted with a dumb phone, etc. that you don't keep on you to be tracked you could still be thwarted by vehicle and targeted on a very granular level unless you're driving something old. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/06/cars-collect-extensive-personal-data-on-drivers-study-warns

    Galletasalada,

    @SecurityWriter It’s true that it’s a lot easier to track people with other methods than automotive telemetry. I am very aware of that. I don’t know why people replying assume that I don’t know that it would be a far-fetched mode of attack. It is a possible one though, just like it is possible to have your keystrokes read from a compromised microphone, but going to all that trouble doesn’t make a lot of sense if one can just get a keylogger on the system, for most targets. I would like it to be acknowledged that it is one of those far-fetched methods of attack, because most people don’t think of their cars as something that can possibly collect such information. Thus it is useful in security communication to acknowledge the possibility without alarming people, if a fine balance can be struck. I guess those such as myself who drive old POSs & can’t afford new cars will have an advantage somewhat in terms of paranoiac measures, if it comes to that.

    Galletasalada, to Health

    My financial institution sent me a letter that basically told me "fuck you for having #LongCOVID and being #immunocompromised, we want you to die, we are gaslighting pieces if shit who think that making people remove their masks "for a short time" doesn't "pose a health risk" and the worst part is they claim that "most financial institutions" would do this, despite them having let me open my account with them while masked. Literally the only thing that changed is now they feel empowered to #discriminate against me based on my #health status.

    Galletasalada,

    Warning: Twitter link

    This person who seems to have a lot more people on their side than I do is going up against the policies of Commerce Bank https://twitter.com/Helenreflects/status/1702111753050419581?t=Xfx5TGw60U-eAyADkDZXiQ&s=19 and I really hope they can successfully sue the place for and make an example of them so that places like the shitty credit union that discriminated against me and gaslighted me about it will be put on notice. and is no joke. Being forced to remove your mask, no matter if it's "momentarily", is a risk that nobody should have to take.
