How Volkswagen Has Gotten Away With Union-Busting

Labor law is not workers’ law. That’s the lesson learned by pro-union workers at Volkswagen’s sole U.S. factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Please Let’s Never Call Uber “The Future of Work” Ever Again

It was back in 2015 that Obama administration alum David Plouffe, freshly decamped to Silicon Valley, firstsuggested that the gig economy was “the future of work.”

@poncio @funkwhale I've been using http://beets.io/ so far and it's served me well so far. I even wrote a little plugin that automatically uploads imported tracks using https://github.com/RodrigoLeiteF/funkwhale-cli (shameless plug). It makes working with tags a lot easier, since there's barely any manual work to be done.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea behind LibremOne from @purism. We, the decentralized internet advocates, are quite far with the tech. What we desperately need is a touch of marketing, bundling, and consumer-friendliness. #LibremOne is doing exactly that. Bravo, and I hope them the very best of success.

Seems that things are right again and that they did right by those who care about the cause :) Let me know what you think in the end.
