Clearly the ongoing genocide is not successful enough for some.

@randahl Siri, what’s “political persecution?”

@maxelcat Oh we are. But it does make it that much easier.

@lindarosesmit ?

@ermo Oh, no, those other fairy tales are entirely true.

We had culture and ethics far before organised religions. Superstitious belief and, furthermore systems dreamt up by men to subjugate women and exert control on society are in no way a prerequisite for leading an ethical life. If religious people act ethically, they are doing it despite the toxic venom in those texts, not because of it. And the ones acting according to those texts are busy commit genocide as we speak.

If anyone knows of any available positions please let them know.

(They’re not proud of having worked at Google; quite the opposite, they left due to their ethical concerns about one of the worst surveillance capitalists in the world and a company, furthermore, that is complicit in genocide.) @ireneista https://adhd.irenes.space/@ireneista/statuses/01KQB2KFB369X8HZ1CWJ793ET2

@ireneista Thank you 💕

@emma “we have a strong background in information privacy (ex-Google)”

This doesn’t say Google is about information privacy to you?

I’ll be more than happy to post it if it means “We worked at the worst possible place for violating your privacy so we know exactly what not to do” but not if it’s “hire us because we worked at Google and we’re proud of it.”

@davidho Amazing how some people can be both at the same time.

@ireneista “we have a strong background in information privacy (ex-Google)”

In violating it, you mean? Because that’s what Google does. That’s its business model.

Are you proud of having worked there? Because I don’t see how that aligns with “bring[ing] the highest standards of ethical practice to your organization.”

Here, have a trophy. @BasicAppleGuy https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/116485686603127359

@nando161 Alt text: video of a young woman showing the Israeli flags and propaganda on the walls in front of US congressional offices while repeating the phrase “United States of…?” Ends with “makes you think, doesn’t it?”

@TheComfortableSpotPodcast Yeah, Ukraine supporting Israel is something else: So you’re fine with countries doing what Russia is doing to you (and far worse) as long as they’re not doing it to you?

@seindal @wilbr @EUCommission Yep. And is it a move in the right direction? Sure. I just can’t abide the EU Commission’s smug public relations posts on here.

@AaronDavid @spdrnl Alt text: Willy Wonka looking smug: OH, SO YOU'RE AFRAID OF WHITE PEOPLE BECOMING THE MINORITY? WHY? ARE MINORITIES TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR SOMETHING?

@seindal @wilbr @EUCommission Which brings us back to the original claim of “one cable for everything” and “reducing waste”.

It’s not one cable. The cables aren’t regulated. And in some ways it’s worse as you don’t know if the cable you’re getting is going to do what you want it to.

@muddle I mean, you’re free to quote whatever you like.

@seindal @wilbr @EUCommission Unless it was sold in the EU.

@anne_twain @ScottishGreens Yeah, just doesn’t work, you run out of people to exploit at some point. Only so many to go around.

@ScottishGreens Fucker looks like he’s an SNL parody of himself.
