Don’t worry, Amazon is investing $4 billion into Chile, it’s gonna be cutting edge by the time the money has been allocated 🤪

As should forced Internet connectivity

They shared a perspective i hadn’t considered: all the AI involvement in the workplace, the constant surveillance, the rigid hierarchies–it all serves as ways to acquaint people with authoritarianism.

I mean, it isn’t illegal to treat workers with suspicion and malice – and frankly, they can always leave! (Same could be said for citizens, on second thought…)

If all the businesses decide they want to run that way (or if all the businesses get absorbed by 2-3 mega-corporations and they decide to treat workers that way), it’s within their rights to. Hell, we’ve been discovering for quite some time that businesses may even operate illegally until found out, and even then it’s often not enough to stop them – it simply becomes an operating expense.

Isn’t it interesting that the richest people in the world are allied with each other politically? At least here in this shithole we call the USA, we now get to witness enthusiastic levels of corruption, and every major corp with their shitty, billionaire leader is there getting their slice of pie.

The authoritarianism begins in the workplace (and schools!) where people become conditioned to the hierarchy, then ultimately get dominated by the authoritarian government that they themselves somehow voted for.

What are you hiding?! 😡

I found this morsel particularly poignant:

"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

Can already hear them: “What the fuck?! Don’t you know fighting back is unfair?!?”

It’s really no wonder these guys set up an island to sexually abuse minors

Just when i thought I’d already heard the dumbest plans this fucker can concoct, he blows me away with an even dumber idea

Apple products about to get even more expensive!

…and make their competitions products more expensive too, i suppose

It’s a win-win really 🫠

Imagine pouring your years and efforts into making this company the giant it became, and this is how they repay you. I have to imagine it’s gonna be hard to find a new job at the same pay level etc, considering everyone is currently making big cuts to their workforce 🫠

“After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change,” copies of layoff notification email viewed by Business Insider stated. “As a result, today is your last working day.”

Oh, and one last thing:

Oracle declined to comment.

Police in Fargo, North Dakota, have acknowledged “a few errors” in the case and pledged changes in their operations but stopped short of issuing a direct apology.

Surprise!!!

Isn’t that what happens to anything commercially successful now?

Well i didn’t have “Year of the Linux Laptop” on my 2026 bingo card! That’s awesome!!

Go figure the margins are that thin.

we absolutely shouldn’t buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.

I try to use eBay as an alternative, though i find every 3-4 orders i place there, i get one in an Amazon box that by all rights appears to have been shipped by Amazon. I swear people are drop-shipping stuff from Amazon to their eBay buyers.

Oh man, we owe the globe a lot these days 😅

He’s one of the “good billionaires” 🤣

Why do they always have such punchable faces?

Ahhhh, not what i was looking for! 🫠 Guess that’s what i get for asking a kaiju for PC components though 😅 I’ll have to remember this for next time

Mr. Godzilla, i would like one RAM please 🙏

Which is really it’s purpose, as far as i can see
