#Greece in turmoil and pain – 8 days of rage

"Greece: a country in mourning, still in shock, following the death of 57 people in a train crash at Tempe, the deadliest in the country and one of the worst in Europe.
For 8 days now, almost all protests in #Athens have been brutally attacked by the so-called “mourning” riot police, under the orders of Mitsotakis government that pretends to care, while they even close down all metro stations around a protest’s starting point to deter people from joining them."

Do not -- do not -- buy a printer (or anything else) from HP. Unfortunately, since Congress refuses to make illegal what is flagrantly unfair and unethical, that is your only option. Such a sleazy, arrogant company. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/customers-fume-as-hp-blocks-third-party-ink-from-more-of-its-printers/

My latest at WIRED: Today the FBI admitted to buying cellphone location data that US companies claimed was gathered to personalize online ads -- data the bureau would've otherwise required a warrant to obtain

Dir. Wray says it was purchased for a classified pilot program "some time" ago

If you ever wonder what a corporation values... it's the shareholder's interest. Nothing else matters. Everything else is expendable, without regret. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/485606/xero-announces-plan-to-cut-up-to-800-jobs

A combined deficit of infrastructure, suitable housing, accessibly health care, and environmental protection that stretches back over 35+ years.

All because we were told that markets would do a better job.

Bullshit.

The only thing markets do well is concentrate wealth, and even that is a fickle one since they are so bad at managing risk.

So we get ever-increasing inequality, spiraling costs of living, and a wrecked planet so the billionaires can party like it's 1999.

Progressive liberal & leftist American Jews have been getting yelled at for nearly two decades for speaking up about Israel’s ongoing rightward shift & embrace of the intolerant & we have been marginalized & pushed out of the communal tent. Suddenly, liberals sound like we did.

Are there freelancers in the @FlatpakApps community who can be contracted for a few days' work bundling an (Electron) app as a #Flatpk and submitting it to #Flathub? I'm looking to make an introduction to another organisation that's not so familiar with the platform.

What passes for "left" politics in this country are so utterly bankrupt that people actually felt good about voting for this douche, thought he was a good guy who was going to save us from...something. What? I dunno. A less prettied-up fascism? Oppression with a snear, instead of a smile?

When this idgit the best option you have on the ballot, your democracy is a sham.
