I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar
Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians
However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation
From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world

ATTENTION EX-CATHOLIC ATHEISTS
once baptized, you’re catholic. if you took communion and/or took your confirmation vows, you are ―for all intents and purposes― a (lapsed) catholic.
excommunication is, technically, the only way out of catholicism.
would be interesting to test title VII from a secular catholicism point of view.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" businessinsider.com/worker-got…A software engineer won a religious exemption from using AI at work
Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.Sarah E. Needleman (Business Insider)

I'm fuming reading this article about how the #WikimediaFoundation just fired Brooke Vibber and the entire Community Tech team. It sure looks an awful lot like illegal #UnionBusting. 😡

If you are a #Wikipedia editor, please join me in showing your solidarity with #WikiWorkersUnited by signing the petition:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi…
If you are not, you can still help. Please share widely about this. The article above suggests emailing the WMF board. Don't donate to WMF until this is resolved, they have a war chest already. I want us to embarrass WMF until they cave and reverse course. I want them to offer these workers their jobs back, stop union busting, and put it in their damn charter they won't try this crap again. I want them to realize without their community, they are nothing. We can strike. We can fork all of #Wikimedia if it comes to it. ✊
> TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream. This is a confrontation with global implications.
