Regarding point 1, how is "the people who we force to" an acceptable answer to this? Because that's exactly what happens now. No one wants to work hard, dirty jobs, but there is a societal pressure upon them to, and enough inertia to maintain the status quo that keeps a majority of them where they are.

Lol are you joking? I would wager my life that not a single blue collar worker in America takes or remains in a job that they hate out of societal pressure to do so. Having grown up in am environment where my social group was almost nothing but manual laborers, the only pressure they felt was financial. The difference between them and say, a SWE was often to some extent baseline intelligence coupled in with lack exis…

Financial pressure is also societal.

I just feel like all this crying foul about authoritarianism is because people view certain roles, even the essential ones, as beneath them. If that mindset needs to be changed then I'm all for it. I don't deny that it will be hard, and I don't deny that I might be guilty of this myself.

> Firefox, if they've graciously allowed us to install extensions we want on our machines The F-Droid guys have forked Firefox for Android to let you use any extension you want. They named it Fennec as the older Firefox, but is just the name, the codebase is the new Fenix one. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

It's not forked by f-droid, it is maintained by Mozilla to not contain any proprietary blobs in accordance with the official f-droid repo policy, and last time I used it it only allowed curated extensions as of the fenix update. I'll try it out again.

Yeah Fennec is to Firefox, like Chromium is to Chrome.
