"don" is a name prefix, not a name. "don Elías" was my grandfather and oddly several buses have that name too.

The United States won’t allow a global tax treaty to move forward and now it’s threatening countries that tax multinational tech companies anyway.

“US lawmakers and government officials view the tax as unfair and have threatened to retaliate if Canada moved forward with it.”

@parismarx for less than that the US would add a country to a tax heaven list

African AI workers, mostly from Kenya, released an open letter to Joe Biden this week asking him stop US tech companies from “systemically abusing and exploiting African workers” and to end the “modern day slavery” they’re subjected to.

Looks like Mastodon's experimental branch is trying stuff out with how you create posts:

-Unlisted post visibility has been renamed to "Quiet Public"
-Mentions/DMs is renamed to "Specific People"
-Polls have visible control for switching from one answer to multiple answers
-Content Warning title bar has been tweaked
-Visibility and language menus more prominent
-Tweaked artwork

Screenshots attached, people on servers running the experimental branch will already be seeing this in action.

@FediTips interesting, I hope those renames are checked in multiple languages, sometimes a clever wording in English or German is a bit complicated to translate without using lots of words

Showing posts in chronological order is an algorithm, showing trending posts based on like and reshare counts are also an algorithm, recommending accounts in the "for you" tab is another algorithm.
