Maybe on a messaging platform with IRL people, but never on somewhere like Lemmy. If anything, I really enjoy seeing that number go up! 59 unreads right now (I never check the box, the only way they go is replies).

When even Atlantic Council fellows are saying it, you know the government thinks it's not going well.

dualbooting postmarketOS and divestos with my fajita has been great! I also run Arch on my pinephone, but it's hardware is a weakness. I really like the hardware switches though, I wish more phones had them.

You can join both! Dual carding is a big thing in the IWW, I know quite a few people who EO for the IWW and organize their workplace with an AFL-CIO union.

Reddit is just a cesspool. Use matrix or IRC to get to the cool people.

http://feministfreedomwarriors.org/ seems interesting, does anyone here have any opinions on it?

Oh, and there are also a few unions representing Alphabet workers outside the US. Pretty sure all the South Korean workers are unionized, a few hundred of the 5,000 British Alphabet workers are unionized, and some stuff happened in Europe that I'm not entirely clear on.

They currently have 1400 members, out of Alphabet's total 130,000. You can find out more about them at their website: https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/.

They are, for the most part, not legally recognized and don't (can't) engage in collective bargaining.

Personally I think it went public too early, even with the year of secret organizing. They went public with only 400 people, and undoubtedly much fewer were actually active in organizing. Once the bosses get a sniff of anything going to the media, they can be pretty effective at slowing a unions growth. With such a small percentage of the company, they can't do much. The current growth is also pretty slow, growing by only about 2-300 people in more than a year.
