#blender #b3d #blenderSpotted in the making of this laptop, blender's BigBuckBunny movie is seen as a benchmark to test the screen and working computer function ... https://youtu.be/nW2sgZRbp7A
this doc leaves me many feelings, apart from this one happy for the blender foundation and ideas rec. as benchmark, the industry shown here is more than dystopia :/
These accounting practices played a decisive role in the birth of capitalism and its evolution. ‘Standardised accounting made it possible to separate ownership from management, a separation that was still rare in British and European companies more than a century later,’ the authors point out.
Accounting also made it possible to strengthen control over the workforce and intensify its labour. The plantation system confirmed Marx's observation a century later: increased productivity goes hand in hand with deteriorating working conditions. ‘Working conditions worsen as management and technology improve,’ the book notes. Gradually, the plantations of the British West Indies in the 18th century came to resemble the large factories of the following century, with the added violence of the slave system, where those who resisted were whipped, beaten and hanged.

BREAKING: Trump Illegally PURGES #NationalLaborRelationsBoard : 'Major Constitutional Crisis'
May I ask a question?: Shouldn't there be press conferences, more protests in the streets of Amerika, and people in charge of removing #NLRB if they don't leave, just say 'No'?
I'm just frustrated, that's all. Worldwide, #farright politicians and their billionaire buddies break laws, stamp on constitutions and whatnot and ...nothing happens.

I would think if Trump tells you to leave your position, get a backbone and say 'I'm not leaving and I'm calling a lawyer'

@johnquiggin latest on CEO delusions about return-to-office:
“[…] a recent KPMG survey found that 83% of CEOs expected a full #ReturnToOffice within three years. Such a finding raises serious questions, not so much about #RemoteWork but about whether CEOs deserve the power they currently hold and the pay they currently receive.”

#Models Tell All: Exploitation and Abuse in the #FashionIndustry 2023
A reminder that the meat industry relies on nightmarish lives for the animals killed but also relies on destroying the human workers working in it.
I think as vegans, antispeciesists we should support the workers in the industry. For several reasons :
- better working conditoins implies higher production costs and lower profit rates.
- workers, through strikes, unionizing, can gain power over the industry. It is clear people work these jobs out of necessity. They are some of the most impacted humans by the exploitation of other animals. They have a direct interest in better work conditions and even in changing what they do for a living. Meat industry workers are potential allies.
- We should be aware that producing plants based foods also exploits many people often with terrible work conditions.
The food empowerment project does great job on the subject : https://foodispower.org/human-labor-slavery/animal-agriculture-workers/

Animal Agriculture Workers Animal agriculture employs several hundred thousand workers in the United States.[1] The industry is largely defined by the factory farm model in which billions of land animals are raised and slaughtered for human consumption each year; however, even small farms use many of the same factory-like methods. Animal agriculture workers are consistently
How does algorithmic management influence working conditions? And can the concept of "algorithm governance" help us better understand how #labor platforms govern #work?
