For the first time, I feel driven to speak publicly, because our company is now powering state violence across the globe.

Aaaaand she's fired.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 60 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

After 20y of equity I think she'll be fine (financially).

Or worse, “accidentally” fell out of the window. Crazy times.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 28 points 5 days ago (3 children)

She works at Google, not Yandex.

Though I'm sure Google could manage something equally mysterious.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago

Yeah good thing she’s not a Boeing engineer

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Like ship her to El Salvador

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For a sabbatical, right?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 21 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is that what is happening here?

What's the source of this photo? I saw a different comment mention bodies and a satellite photo, is this what they were referring to?

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

It’s a Google satellite. That’s what you see on theirs. If you use Apple Maps satellite view, it looks so clean.

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

For anyone who actually cares enough to look this up for themselves,

13°32'1" N 88°48'18" W

Or,

13.53361°N 88.80500° W

Maps is clean but Google Earth has a historical view. The OTHERWISE UNATTRIBUTED PICTURE (therefore invalid as a source) is from March 2024.

Fuck you guys, learn to read and research, fuck!

It's America's concentration camp for undesirables.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Literally on Google Maps right now. It's called Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo.

Gods below

Now that they have their own Putin, why not?
