FBI: Scammers Defraud Individuals via Work-From-Home Scams
The FBI is warning of scammers offering victims fake work-from-home jobs, typically involving a relatively simple task, such as rating restaurants or "optimizing" a service by repeatedly clicking a button. The scammers pose as a legitimate business, such as a staffing or recruiting agency,and may contact victims via an unsolicited call or message.
"Scammers direct victims to a fake interface, which shows victims are earning money, though none of it is available to them to cash out."
A new scientific study shows that, if implemented, terminating all humanity would significantly decrease civil unrest, unhappiness, and existential angst.

It is almost as if the #world is telling us a morbid joke: we will kill you if you resist and kill you if you hide, and if you refuse, and if you concede, and we will devour your land and gulp your oceans and kill you with hunger and thirst.
The massacres will be televised, broadcast in broad daylight. Our judges will legalize them.

#PSA to all #Google (or any multinational) employee in Germany
If you are not a German but have a German work contract, please read on:
When they make your role redundant, they can't just fire you.
Immediately get an #employment lawyer (labor lawyer). Contact your local unemployment office and ask them where to get a labor lawyer. Contact any local union and ask them. Contact ... well, just ask a stranger on the street -if you have to- whether they know any labor lawyer.
Do NOT - I repeat: do NOT - sign any "mutually agreed termination agreement". You will be prevented from any unemployment benefits for some time if you do so.
Talk to your labor lawyer. Talk to any lawyer.
Do NOT - I repeat again: do NOT - sign any "mutually agreed ..." - you get the picture.
They can't just fire you - unless they decide to close the office completely in Germany. Get a lawyer. Get legal advice. Trust me! IT IS WORTH IT!
Mastodon is built differently. Just like the birdsite, you won't see every toot in existence but the 'why' is different. On birdsite, an #algorithm decided. Here, it's your #social connections that truly, organically determine what you see.
It works because it gives you control over who you interact with, and the people you interact with shape the timelines of you and all your neighbors.
