  • I understand why people are so mad at Firefox/mozilla but honestly? I just don’t know of any viable alternative right now. Chrome, Safari, edge, etc are all categorically worse offerings because of their parent companies/policies.

    Can someone please give me a non-chromium, Mobile and browser desktop suggestion? Firefox has so many QoL things I depend on. I need something that can use major extensions and such.

    Edit: iOS is the real issue here for me





  • Well the first step for a lot of people on lemmy: dispense with the notion that you’ll have some beautiful, massive “general strike.” People romanticize them because of what they’ve seen in textbooks and historical photography. The vast majority have been abject failures and the organizing infrastructure isn’t there. And with the way things are right now most people are just sitting around waiting for everyone else to get to work so that they can take their cue to go out on the streets. That doesn’t work. A general strike requires organization and participation from massive national and regional unions. UAW seems to be cooking up something that’s worth keeping tabs on, but they have definitely not launched anything yet.

    Effective organization requires sustained and expanding action. You have to find a group that is doing good work and help them grow, usually this requires drumming up donations which is never sexy but is always critical. If you’re looking for some “action” then you need to help a small group of people unionize at a single brick and mortar location with a larger organization above you helping y’all financially. It takes a lot of fucking work to do this stuff lol but it’s worth it!
