    Yeah, it's most likely just my LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn provides an API for companies to search for "talents". I guess there's nothing really to stop the companies to just upload the data they find to their own database. In my head the scenario for the whole thing plays out something like this: HR or whoever is responsible for recruiting at Amazon has some sort of quota for candidates, but they can't fill their quota because people just ignore the Amazon recruiters so instead of contacting the people first they start storing the potential applicants directly to the database. Basically corporate bullshit. But how is this good look for Amazon anyway? They need to sort of shanghai people to be candidates. Meanwhile people are willing to jump through lots of hoops to go work at Google. And who would want to apply for a job at Amazon if they treat, not even the candidates, but the potential candidates like this. How are you going to be treated as an employee in this kind of environment?

    I've griped here before about recruiting but this really takes the cake. Amazon added me automatically as a job candidate to their systems just based on the public data they could find on me. I have never ever applied to work in Amazon. WTF is this bullshit? So, I sent them the request to immediately delete my data as is my right as an EU citizen. They haven't processed it yet but in the reply there was an interesting bit in the automatic reply: So they will delete the data only if they are legally required to. This is some next level bullshit. Amazon keeps a job candidate database without the consent of the "candidates". Amazon basically just decides that they can treat anyone as their potential slave.

    The Finland's biggest newspaper deabbreviated IDM as "intellectual dance music" and it's somehow even worse, lol. Otherwise the article is mostly about SAW 1 and a few paragraphs generally on AFX (the usual bank vault and tank shit) and some other releases.

    JK Rowling talking about courage and gender identity when she herself hid her gender by using only initials for her author name is some next level irony.

    Yeah, Žižek has been surprisingly level headed during the whole war. Here's another text back from May: We must stop letting Russia define the terms of the Ukraine crisis https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/23/we-must-stop-letting-russia-define-the-terms-of-the-ukraine-crisis
