For the record, it is in fact illegal to replace existing US workers with H1B workers because cheaper.

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

Meet the newest tool of propaganda in Hungary: RECIPES.
Popular gastronomy site Mindmegette owned by pro-government publisher Mediaworks, has published anti–Péter Magyar recipes, including “Kyiv Chicken with External Support" and “Brussels Chicken Breast"

@CryptoCyberia Most likely yes. But that will take a while and the corporate bastards at Google will try to buy as much time as possible until that happens.

@InsiderGeo I can assure you that NOBODY would value THIS in Europe either, it comes off as brash, arrogant and uncultured.
English
People often don’t realize that you can’t talk to Asians the same way you talk to Europeans or Westerners. There’s a cultural expectation that historical context, respect, and subtlety are treated differently what might seem casual or humorous in the West is deeply offensive in Japan, In Japan, context, respect, and subtlety guide almost every interaction. Unlike in many Western countries, where directness is valued, Japanese communication often relies on reading between the lines.

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

According to Ukrainian media, Putin is planning to relocate more than 100,000 Russians to occupied Ukrainian lands. Mirroring the tactics of the Soviet occupation and Stalin's old playbook, the Russian government has drafted so-called "development plans" for the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts. According to the Russian newspaper Vedomosti, Russia has announced the development of 15 master plans and 10 territorial planning projects allegedly aimed at increasing the population. Additionally, Russian authorities claim they intend to develop "tourism" in the seized territories, with plans to attract up to 9.4 million tourists by 2044. nv.ua/ukr/ukraine/ev…

@aaronsmith I know, but >somehow< they are never trying to pull a fast one like that with ICE vehicles, they always seem to push the most heinous ideas into EVs.
English
@coolkoon Oh selling features like that - it’s not specific to EVs.
English
Out of 473,000 EVs in Australia, 13 have caught fire.
Of those 13, 3 were caused by separate house fires, 2 because someone set them on fire, and 5 from high-speed collisions.
That leaves just 3 out of 473,000 EVs for which no cause has been identified.
3.

EV battery fires are a common concern, but the reality is they occur far less frequently than many people think. Here's what the experts say: mynr.ma/ev-fires

@jonatanpallesen So...Denmark is becoming a socialist haven, right? And what will this commie scum do once they run out of somebody else's money?
English
The situation here in Denmark:
The tax burden is already the second highest in the world. Now they want to introduce a new wealth tax, that in some cases will give a tax rate of above 100%
This is partly to pay the $15,000+ that each Muslim immigrant costs on average every year.

@BigBrotherWatch "It will come at the cost to all of our rights, freedom and internet access." - This was their goal all along obviously.

👎Australia's social media ban has failed
70% of children are still on social media sites and many others are being pushed into less regulated corners of the internet
The UK must learn from Australia's failings and drop plans to enforce a social media ban for under-16s
It will come at the cost to all of our rights, freedom and internet access.
Senator Sarah Henderson@SenSHenderson
One hundred days on, it’s clear Labor’s under-16s social media ban has not delivered as promised. Families were assured this would be a practical and enforceable safeguard, yet what we’ve seen is confusion for parents, uncertainty for platforms and real questions about how this works in practice. The Coalition has consistently supported stronger protections for young Australians online. But good policy is not just about announcing a plan, it’s about making sure it can actually be delivered. The government must now be upfront about what’s working and what isn’t. Parents deserve clarity and transparency, not confusion and obfuscation. This includes coming clean on how many accounts have been shut down. In January, the Prime Minister and Communications Minister announced that 4.7 million accounts were deactivated, removed, or restricted within days of the ban coming into force. This claim, inconsistent with some publicly released data, is now under a cloud after the eSafety Commissioner confirmed an investigation was underway to verify the number of impacted accounts. ➡️ afr.com/technology/fin…

The cost to replace the Interstate Bridge between Washington and Oregon increased ~ 140% from a 2022 estimate of $6 billion to a new "target" of $14.4 billion.
How much of this cost is not related to actual construction and is instead fees of consultants and lawyers?

@TheFemoid No? Look at the vid again. At the beginning of those 4 seconds it didn't look like the car is about to crash AT ALL.
English
Wasn’t it proven that autopilot is programmed to disengage when it registers it’s about to crash?
If it turns off 4 seconds before impact that means the autopilot caused the crash
How are we this stupid
Nic Cruz Patane@niccruzpatane
Elon Musk confirmed via Telemetry Data that the woman driving the Cybertruck in this video disengaged the system four seconds before the crash. She was manually driving throughout this entire video. Don't believe everything you see/hear from Legacy Media about Tesla.

A sense a lot of folks support Mamdani based on abstract theory.
But here is his, “tax the rich” in practice.
Mamdani is proposing to raise New York's estate tax to 50% and have it kick in at just $750,000.
Here is a $799,998 home in Staten Island that would have to be sold at the homeowners’ death after a lifetime of struggling to pay mortgage payments, just to meet his policies.
THIS is who he is aiming at.

@vinibarbosabr "reddit is a terrible place for open debates, i'm more than convinced at this point" - Let's call it by what it is: a dumphole.

systemd has merged a commit by dylanmtaylor to collect and store users's birth dates in compliance with Brazil and California age verification laws -- which has been a controversial topic in Linux communities
the same dev (dylanmtaylor) tried to push a similar change to archinstall (Arch Linux), which has, so far, been denied -- but the discussion was reopened after being closed for a while
there are also reports of commentators having their posts removed or even being banned from the r/linux subreddit for posting opposing views to age verification laws and compliance
how can the subreddit of the leading OPEN-source project be so CLOSED for different perspectives? makes you wonder... reddit is a terrible place for open debates, i'm more than convinced at this point

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws. Let that sink in. A Linux init system now handles Age Verification. github.com/systemd/system…

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification.
Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.
