To Defeat Authoritarianism, Start Here

I spent a year interviewing dissidents on five continents. Individual acts of courage matter more than you think.

De 38-urenweek onder druk: zo wil de regering piekuren anders laten tellen

De regering wil het makkelijker maken om extra uren te werken op piekmomenten. Volgens de vakbonden dreigt het einde van de 38-urenweek en zullen werknemers fors geld verliezen.

I mean, *something* good had to come out of the techbro cult and the AI nonsense…
Might as well be this. 😁

Also, in case anyone actually thinks about trying it, obligatory be careful when working for those guys in ANY form; the sex trade is no exception.
[And see https://kolektiva.social/@yenndc/116744338822177250, really.]

Also 2, for people working in the tech industry “normally”: See? Your bosses CAN very much afford to pay a decent salary (and then some more).
Now go, unionize, and demand a raise. ;P

Just saw a comment about Sega's use of gen AI for Crazy Taxi that said something like "They used AI to avoid crunch and make the developers lives easier". Is this what gamers *actually* think? That AI will make the developers lives easier? That's the most deranged/clueless take I've seen so far. It'll just give the employers an opportunity to pay less workers and they'll continue to make more outlandish and unreasonable demands on remaining staff because 'you have AI now' right? *sigh* #unionize

“On one side are those who defend workers’ rights, on the other are people who would not even have abolished slavery in our country.”

Hundreds of workers in Rio de Janeiro took the streets on Monday to protest Brazil’s “6-1” work system, which allows one day of rest for six working days

“It’s About People Feeding Their Families”: Indigenous-Led Anti-Austerity Protests Rock Bolivia

Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz, the country’s first right-wing president in decades. Since Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the Andean Information Network in Cochabamba, Bolivia, about the monthlong protests. “Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, Indigenous people and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,” she explains. “There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.” Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America.
