It is absolutely infuriating to see the US securing an exemption from the OECD global tax deal. Once again, the interests of multinational corporations are being prioritised over global equity.
While the rest of the world attempts to set a floor on the "race to the bottom" by implementing a 15% minimum corporate tax, the US is carving out a loophole that allows its biggest companies to continue dodging their fair share. This isn't just a technicality; it’s a direct assault on the ability of nations to fund public services, healthcare, and climate action.
We cannot build a fair global economy when the wealthiest nation on earth acts as a shield for corporate greed. We need international solidarity that puts workers and communities ahead of billionaire shareholders.

As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statements in their tax filings.

If #military separation boards decide to allow #transgender service members to remain in uniform, commanders can override that decision, acc/to an Oct 8 memo to all the services from the #Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel & readiness, Anthony Tata. That breaks with longstanding policy that boards act independently.
It is the #Pentagon’s latest step to drive #transgender troops out of the #ArmedFrces following an executive order from #Trump. He & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth have targeted #diversity, #equity & #inclusion efforts in what they say is an effort to make the #military more lethal.
The admin’s policies have faced pushback in courts as #trans troops & supporters say they have proven their worth to the military, but #SCOTUS in May allowed the ban to be enforced while legal challenges proceed.
8079 - I just missed a client meeting cos I wasn't invited to it. The client invited my male colleague but left me out....because he thought I was just doing the admin. I'm the CEO. Don't tell me @EverydaySexism is done. However unintentional it is costing me money

Not sure how I feel about this.
There's Postiz, integrates with #Lemmy #Mastodon and #Bluesky. Looks great, well-designed, #AGPL
There's Gitroom, Github Library, and Grow Chief commercial products around helping open source projects. Okay.
And then there's https://agentheroes.ai ..

All from the same company. AI characters? Like fake accounts that you can let roam these Postiz channels?
It may be well meant, but rife for abuse, no?

on another level
automating "avatar" image creation formally could be an #equity feature
for fedi whatever
since we have people who don't have 8k phone cameras for instance
or just prefer not to
for whatever reason
and
don't necessarily want to spend days on end coding a pixel art piece
to promote themselves
BUT
not sure we need Nvidia GPUs for that
necessarily
