Germany has the power to make a difference for the people of Thailand, but we all know that dealing with totalitarian governments allows for much more convenient trade deals when exploiting developing countries than treating another people equally to our own. Such inconvenience.

German capitalist exploitation at it's finest. It's systematic, global rule of the corporate overlords. We should stop pointing fingers at other countries and get our own shit figured out.

Journalists, anyone interested in talking to workers In Yangon who were mass-fired at @LidlGB@twitter.com factory for requesting clean drinking water? 738 workers immediately mass-fired; all of the union members in the factory. Can put you in direct contact and provide translation.

What an entertaining thread on the fight against censorship, big corp, open source. Highly recommended to learn about the youtube-dl mess github got themselves into! Also, keep fighting :)

The RIAA just got GitHub to ban open source YouTube downloaders.

They don't want anyone to share this code:

mplayer $(echo -s "http://youtube.com/get_video.php?$(curl $youtube_url | sed -n "/watch_fullscreen/s;.＊\(video_id.\+\)&title.＊;\1;p")&fmt=22")

Woops.

We shouldn't feel comfortable in our rich countries. Our elites are as fucked as in the rest of the world.

The potential ban of end-to-end encryption in the EU.
It sounds like a really bad joke. But apparently it isn't.

Got to love Thai street food vendors ❤️

Wherever the protesters go, the food carts are there first - earning the nickname "the CIA".

Marching with his cart alongside protesters tonight, a pop drink seller told me he wanted to both make money and support the cause.

After police dispersed peaceful Thai protests with water cannons and chemicals last night, for today's protest the government decided to shutdown the whole train system and major roads before protests start.
All that after the PM cited a grim reaper poem last night.

High school and middle school students once again joining the fight at Ladprao.

Only this time their parents have come too to protect their kids that were left vulnerable last night!

The last couple of months have been the first time in history so many people in Thailand openly criticize the monarchy. Tonight's protest have been the biggest yet after the military government has declared a state of emergency yesterday.

A death rate of 57/100k in a country that has few urban areas.
Sure great if you compare to US with 65. How does it compare to densely populated, progressive countries?
Germany 12, Japan 1, South Korea < 1
Even its neighbors: Finland 6, Norway 5

Questionable if overtime is actually more productive. But in a case where it is more productive and necessary, then compensate people accordingly. Also, be honest. The overall result will be better and more wealth will created 🤷 Why is this so difficult?
