especially with ICE literally detaining random indigenous people for being brown on land that's more theirs than it is America's, would be good to help keep unhoused indigneous folks without papers safe
a lot of causes are getting a lot of attention $$ wise in Minnesota right now, this warming center for unhoused indigenous folks isn't getting a lot of shine and could use a boost in spaces you're in even if you don't got the scratch to donate rn
URGENT: Our unsheltered Indigenous relatives need a warm place to survive.

that type shit is why I use forks of firefox that remove their bullshit downstream rather than firefox itself
Every day, Mozilla leadership wakes up and thinks: "How can we piss off the tiny number of remaining users who are our biggest fans?" , all while C suites get millions in salary and add AI slop everywhere.

End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.

The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.

This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.

no such thing as "the middle of nowhere" tbqh

I live in a place that has less than 50 year-round residents, it balloons to a whopping slightly less than 100 people during the peak somewhere between mid-Spring to early Autumn (it fluctuates, some arrive late, some leave early, hard to say when the peak is). It's rural-beyond-rural, the closest grocery store is a long drive away and THAT place has sub-1000 people.

But it is absolutely the middle of somewhere to everyone who lives here, y'know? This is a fulcrum as every place truly is. Suffused with beauty everywhere, it's hard to call it "the middle of nowhere" with tears in your eyes at how awestruck you are by the deep woods you're walking through, a massive tree you stumble upon, a family of deer stopping to cock their heads curiously at you.

Anyway, I think about that a lot when other people hear about where I live and say some variation of "wow really the middle of nowhere!" lol

Today in Labor History November 8, 1892: 20,000 black & white workers united for a General Strike in New Orleans. In the wake of the streetcar drivers’ labor victory earlier in the year, in which they won a closed shop and shorter workday, a massive organizing campaign led to the creation of dozens of new unions and greater demands from the city’s workers. On October 24, several thousand members of the Triple Alliance (teamsters, scalesmen and packers) struck for overtime pay and the 10-hour day. Many members of the Alliance were African American. The bosses used race-baiting to try and divide the workers, but failed. Members of other unions started to join in solidarity, leading to a General Strike on November 8. The strike successfully bled the banks of half their pre-strike holdings. Finally, the bosses agreed to sit down with both black and white union leaders and agreed to the 10-hour day and overtime pay, but not a universal closed union shop.

"it’s past time for positive steps towards honouring He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti.
Turkeys will not vote for Christmas, and the government will not lead constitutional change, or promote policies to advance workers’ rights or land back strategies.
But we don’t need to wait for the government. People and organisations can lead this work if we’re prepared to follow tangata whenua guidance on what that looks like."

“What is clear from He Whakaputanga is that there was never a ceding of any kind of sovereignty to Britain. Not then, nor five years later, when Te Tiriti was signed at Waitangi.” — Catherine Delahunty.
