Threat posed by new #VMware #hyperjacking #vulnerabilities is hard to overstate

3 critical vulnerabilities in multiple #VM products from VMware can give hackers unusually broad access to some of the most sensitive environments inside multiple customers’ networks, the company warned Tuesday.

The class of #attack made possible by #exploiting the vulnerabilities is known under several names, including hyperjacking, hypervisor attack, or virtual machine escape.

#Amazon , #Tesla, #Meta called out for eroding #democracy • The Register

#Exploiting workers, undermining public services, exacerbating climate crisis, #ITUC says

Amazon, Meta, and Tesla have earned the rather dubious honor of being named some of the worst corporate underminers of democracy by the world's largest trade union federation.

#Trump claimed today at his speech in front of #law enforcement officers in #Michigan that he called the family of #RubyGarcia, who was killed by a friend of hers who was a *migrant*. Trump claimed he spoke to several of her family members….

Ruby Garcia's sister Mavi Garcia told WOOD TV8 that neither Trump nor any member of his campaign have contacted her or any of her family members, & was upset that Trump was #exploiting migrants.

The Australia, US, France, England, Canada coalition is bombing Yemen, while South Africa takes Israel to the international court of Justice on genocide charges. Not a single western country has supported their claim. All the signatures are from the global south (conceptually).

This is about #colonial legacy and the mindset of #settler societies used to #exploiting the planet and its humans, extracting labor, land and resources as if its their backyard, without repurcussions or consequences.

Leftwing, Feminist Book recommendations please!

:boosts_ok:
Hey Fediverse, #bookstodon #bookstodongermany #blackmastodon #transtodon #leftodon
I talked my #neoliberal flatmate into reading some books about #feminism / #queerfeminism / #blackfeminism or similarly #leftwing books which would challenge his worldview.

Would you mind recommending some books for this purpose? #bookrecommendation

------------------------------------------------------------

There is a LOT to challenge. Some of his opinions:

* There is no structural #racism , only bad people and Nazis are racist (He is obviously not racist) i.e. introduction to #CriticalWhiteness

* You can get rich without #exploiting people

* Colonialism is bad, but it is in the past. We should put it behind us (and #Capitalism has nothing to do with #Colonialism )

* Everything is getting better with time/Society is always moving forward (whitewashed #history )

* There are only two biological sexes/binary biological sex exists ( #trans #genderstudies )

* The police is good for society and reduces crime (and racial profiling is okay apparently) #Abolition #Abolitionism

* What is #intersectionalism ? Never heard of it.

* #communism failed because it is doomed to fail, not because the USA intervened with military whenever there was an attempt at it.

* #Liberalism is no ideology, it is the center, between left and right, and therefore the best option because it can't be extreme.

#Germany didn't profit from Colonialism. Anyway after the 2nd World war we had nothing and we rebuilt germany on our own.

------------------------------------------------------------

Pls boost if you ever wanted to give a #liberal a reading list to challenge their views...
(Also books with #german perspectives would be awesome, because we're based in Germany and its too easy to put all the problems "somewhere else")

Some Books I thought about recommending him:

* Whipping Girl (Julia Serano)

* Was weiße Menschen nicht über #Rassismus hören wollen aber wissen sollten (Alice Hasters)
(Translates to: What white persons don't want to hear about racism, but should know)

* The Dawn of Everything (David Wengrow, David Graeber)

* At The Café conversations on #Anarchism (Errico Malatesta)

* #Abolitionismus - Ein Reader (Suhrkamp)

* Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Thomas Piketty)
