Lemmy ML got slow and gummy right after I posted this, should I delete, or am I just being paranoid? And at least three downvotes; should I not have asked?

If so, I see a general strike in the US's near future✊
Remember the good ol' days when much of labor (well, some of labor anyway) in the US was backed by the Mob? Might it be nice to have them backing up the revitalized unions of today, always ready to break some kneecaps when it's required of them? Unfortunately, I don't think they're anywhere near as powerful as they used to be. Too bad.
Just out of curiosity, how come Firefox isn't one of the officially supported browsers for web installation?
EDIT: Thanks! 👍
Welcome one, welcome all 👍
I've got Keepass for password manager and Mullvad for VPN, and both have worked out really well for me so far. What I haven't been able to find is a good alternative to Proton Drive. For aliases I use Firefox Relay.
You know what would be really great? If Thunderbird actually had its own email service (@thunderbird.net) and not just a client. When they were switching K9 Mail over to Thunderbird mobile, it seemed like there might have been the slightest hint on their blog that they were at least considering it (or maybe I dreamed it). Might be a good source of income for Mozilla too...🤔
Supposedly rclone can work with Proton Drive, but for me at least, it seemed way too complicated to set up.
As a Linux person, I, too, am somewhat tired of being treated like a second-class user. Having no Linux client for Drive is a real pain.
Mullvad VPN has worked well for me.
Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.
EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.

However, I would suggest that if you do decide to use this that you pick one or two of your favorite periodicals and either donate or subscribe to them. The Guardian and your local paper might be two good choices.
Also, if you have uBlock, turning off javascript can sometimes defeat a paywall.
