Most of their profits are paid out to shareholders, like last year, and the year before that. Nobody should expect anything better from any capitalist corporation.

A new report by Human Rights Watch argues that the compulsory use of the Tuscan dialect as the primary language in schools in Italy raises “serious concerns under international human rights law”. At the time of adoption, only 2.5% of the population spoke Italian. This ongoing cultural genocide of 2 centuries has led to some not knowing their own regional dialect, and in some extreme cases, to people from different Italian regions understanding each other!!1

Yes, this news is so silly, that applying the same logic in Europe makes it read like an Onion article.

Hey, that’s not fair! They also nuked 2 civilian cities just to prove their might. One of the biggest war crimes in history for which nobody was punished.

Yes, this has been my main account for the last year. It’s cute that you noticed.

What do your astute analysis skills tell you about Europe’s collective Stockholm Syndrome that the US “saved” them from the nazis?

Yes, they both had a part, and the USSR’s part was significantly more important. But I know that might get in the way of your American exceptionalism fantasy.

US saved Germany in 1945

Lol. 8 out of 10 nazi casualties were inflicted by the Soviets. That’s the conservative estimate

Cybertruck is so futuristic it doesn’t even have wheels!

I’m still mad Microsoft hasn’t integrated Copilot into the calculator app yet. How can you possibly do calculations without AI confidently telling you wrong results?? /s

Extensions are installed on your computer, therefore the title is true, although a bit sensationalist

There is literally a section called Why it’s illegal.

LinkedIn’s scan reveals the religious beliefs, political opinions, disabilities, and job search activity of identified individuals. LinkedIn scans for extensions that identify practicing Muslims, extensions that reveal political orientation, extensions built for neurodivergent users, and 509 job search tools that expose who is secretly looking for work on the very platform where their current employer can see their profile.

Under EU law, this category of data is not regulated. It is prohibited. LinkedIn has no consent, no disclosure, and no legal basis. Its privacy policy does not mention any of this.

JFC, this is actually true. It’s literally scanning for 6000+ hardcoded extensions, sequentially:

LinkedIn should just be considered malware at this point. If you really need to use it, use Firefox

From what we know right now, Russia being behind this is just conspiracy theory. A bad conspiracy theory because it doesn’t make any sense:

Let’s say you want to make your geopolitical rival weaker. It makes sense to promote California separatism because they would lose a state that massively contributes to its economy (this is assuming that the news is accurate and not just US propaganda). It doesn’t make any sense to promote Alberta separatism and give your enemy an extra free state, because that makes it stronger.

This is exactly what the US does when funding Radio Free Asia: it promotes separatist movements in China.

Damn, I hope the elephants didn’t get bone pieces stuck in their feet.

Why would Putin be behind this when Trump has openly talked about annexing Canada and has just recently met with Alberta separatists??

I swear, Westerners will use any excuse to blame China/Russia. There could be an American pedophile procuring children for American politicians and they would still blame Russia. Oh wait… they actually fucking did. Wake up and smell the shit from your own political class.

The West breaks itself by being imperialist warmongers. Some slop Youtube videos ain’t gonna do shit.

Tech workers are labor aristocracy, so collaboration with capitalists is rampant. Even here on Lemmy, in the tech comms you will find a higher than average rate of capitalist apologism.

But as the market adjusts they will be exploited just like the rest of workforce. This was already the case with some sectors, like videogames, which were more exploited than others. When there is a hefty supply of workers and a stable 5% unemployed, ready to accept any conditions, those $200k+ incomes will be a distant memory.

Of course it is:

There was this site making the rounds a few years ago and it still seems updated: https://layoffs.fyi/

Yet somehow, Facebook still managed to transfer an eye watering $50bn to capitalists in 2025 through dividends and buybacks. That is the equivalent of $633,639/employee. Tech workers need to unionize!

This seems very obvious, but it’s good to have more studies supporting it

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”

This wins the Not the Onion gold medal
