🇹🇭#Thailand: The state of #civicspace remains 'repressed'. In recent months, #activists have continued to be convicted for royal defamation. #journalists criminalised and opposition politicians face a lifetime ban from politics.

Surely no one could have ever foreseen that the copyright strike and DMCA system would be abused to take down our video. No one could have ever expected this. Thousands of viewers could never have downloaded the video in the event such a thing happened. We received a copyright strike overnight against our video, which has rendered it unviewable. We're working on legal pathways to reinstate it. More to share soon. But, seriously, surely no one could have seen this coming.

All who supported this wrecking ball, which continues to swing, you happy?
Talented teams,families,people, due to bad decision after bad, terrible management.
Record profits, huge cuts, AI the next tent pole.

So if you add a disc drive and a vertical stand, the PS5pro is 949 € maybe?
That is an different cumulative price than we have seen before. Interesting to see a console cost so much relatively to recent historical ones.

Sorry to say, https://t.co/rvOhn0byKe is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.

We are working on it. This thread will have updates.

Escalating #police and mob violence against #studentprotests at #UCLA, #Columbia and other US campuses are attempts to silence solidarity with atrocity victims in #Palestine. These attacks violate speech and #protest rights and cannot be justified with false #antisemitism claims.

Don't know who needs to hear this but it's an absolutely brutal & ruthless job market out there. Not just tech but corporate work more broadly. Hearing lots of stories of really smart people with 0% response rate on applications. Save. Survive. Be thankful if you still have work
