It seems they did think carefully about which supplier they chose.

But at the end of the day, any niceness on the part of the company is completely dependent on the whims of management and the much-less developed labour laws in place, as labour is not allowed to organize to defend its own interests.

One of my clients is an HR director at an electronics manufacturer in China, and from talking regularly with her, even when management are inclined to be nice to workers, there are so many things that would simply never be allowed in Europe which are daily practice in China.

Good to hear that at least it's assembled in Europe.

The "Fairphone" (as far as I can tell) is completely made in China, where an ever more autocratic regime jails workers who try to organize independent unions to protect workers' rights.

So his list includes alleged "currency manipulation and trade barriers" in the supposed tariffs other countries impose on US imports... but doesn't in the tariffs the US imposes on those countries's imports to the US. Hmmm...

AFAIK, no country in the EU has sales tax. They do have value added tax. Is that what you meant?

I got there from a web search that took me directly to that text-only section. I didn't realize until later there were photos in other parts of the article 😊

Local organizers say they have less of a chance at making climate reforms in the majority Black city than Musk does at imposing environmental harms

“There should be no way a $5 billion project can move forward without a single community [meeting],” Pearson said, noting that the decision reinforced the community’s feelings of being ignored and disenfranchised, and confirmed suspicions that official discussions were taking place behind closed doors. “This is literally what corporate colonialism looks like.”

Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis (fuelarc.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/1997571

TL;DR: Self-Driving Teslas Rear-End Motorcyclists, Killing at Least 5

Brevity is the spirit of wit, and I am just not that witty. This is a long article, here is the gist of it:

  • The NHTSA’s self-driving crash data reveals that Tesla’s self-driving technology is, by far, the most dangerous for motorcyclists, with five fatal crashes that we know of.
  • This issue is unique to Tesla. Other self-driving manufacturers have logged zero motorcycle fatalities with the NHTSA in the same time frame.
  • The crashes are overwhelmingly Teslas rear-ending motorcyclists.

Read our full analysis as we go case-by-case and connect the heavily redacted government data to news reports and police documents.

Oh, and read our thoughts about what this means for the robotaxi launch that is slated for Austin in less than 60 days.

How to avoid seeing the same posts over and over again? (lemmy.ca)

Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click "Next" and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I've already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)

It's annoying having to wade through post after post I've already seen.

What I've tried so far:

  • Set main feed to "New" rather than "Active" etc.
  • "Hide this post" when I see it for the third or fourth time

Are there other ways?
