  • I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other (though I think your binary framing of wildcat Vs corporatist is a little dishonest), but looking at the current Tesla dispute in Sweden, the effect is massive because it's a cohesive, multi-sector strike. Seems like that's a pretty effective case of "us" controlling "them", no?

  • Well you need to be a paedophile to stop a paedophile, and besides the demonrats are worse... but not better at stopping the paedophiles, which we're definitely not - excuse me - I have to stop by the child beauty pageant on the way to protesting in defence of being able to marry children.

  • Until they use their multiple monopolies to further cripple the experience for competitors, entrenching their dominance, and allowing them to force their proprietary standards on the internet, killing any remaining pretence of Internet freedom.

  • Beyond transferring bookmarks and extensions (neither of which tend to be an issue), and the different icon, what would the average user hang their allegiance off?

    The prompts to use Edge are the same whether you're using Chrome or Firefox.

  • In spite of Google's share, the fact that you still need to go download a browser means it isn't over. The barrier for entry is no higher for Firefox vs Chrome, and to the average user, they're not differentiated - you could change the icon and they'd be none the wiser.

    Google using their functional monopoly on search and streaming to entrench their functional monopoly on the browser in a way that'll give them meaningful control of the way the Internet operates isn't something we should just roll over on.

  • It's getting measurably worse at a fairly predictable clip - boomers had it easy, x/y less so, it's dark for milennials, and impossible for zoomers/alpha.

    The guardrails were removed and wheels set in motion by the boomers so they could more effectively ransack the economy - everything since then has been a consolidation of wealth and power at the direct expense of workers.
