Es mag schwer verständlich sein, aber #Mozilla und andere verstoßen gegen geltendes Recht, auch wenn sie »nur« anonymisierte Telemetriedaten sammeln. Nach dem #TDDDG ist es unerheblich, ob die Daten anonym, pseudonym oder personenbezogen sind. Entscheidend ist, ob Informationen auf dem Endgerät gespeichert oder daraus ausgelesen werden. Beides erfordert nach § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG eine Einwilligung, sofern es nicht »technisch erforderlich« ist. Sorry Folks. 👇

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring Mozilla Location Services which provided an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰
https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

Why I use #Firefox
- The about:config page
- Mozilla cannot decrypt my data on their servers
- Translating web pages is also completely private
- Mozilla develops their own browser engine
- The best support for extensions on #Android
- A great picture-in-picture player
I #trust #Mozilla more than I trust #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, or any other company that makes #web browsers. This trust is based on the fact that Mozilla chooses the highest level of user privacy when developing services such as Firefox Sync, Firefox Translate, and others. A web browser is an integral part of a person’s #online life, so it makes sense to choose a #browser from a company that one trusts the most.

Merchant: The AI industry's plan to nuke its copyright problem
ChatGPT and other generative AI applications rely on copyrighted material to do what they do. But rather than compensate creators, the companies are turning to one of Silicon Valley's most reliable playbooks.Brian Merchant (Los Angeles Times)
The mental gymnastics skills of folks attempting to justify Mozilla paying their CEO $7 million while asking for donations.
#Mozilla asks for donations to reach half of their CEO's yearly salary, while people are getting laid off. Seems to me that the solution is simple.
[edit] Okay, this has gotten a lot of buzz, and I'm happy people respectfully weighed in with arguments and counterarguments. I'm not giving up on #Mozilla and #FireFox, nor on other initiatives for a better web. I am, however, going to be muting this now.
No one should 'win' #ActivityPub. The whole point of federation is to not have a winner, and to get away from this corporate mentality.
By doing so, we can all win, not just a few execs, companies, worldviews.

ActivityPub is the next big thing in social networks
Mozilla, Meta, Medium, Flipboard, Tumblr, and so many other companies are betting that the future of social networks looks more like email than it does Elon Musk’s Twitter. And they’re betting on a little-known protocol to make it happen.David Pierce (The Verge)
LibreWolf: Custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security & freedom

* free OS web browser; fork of Firefox w. emphasis on privacy & security
#WebBrowsers #OpenSource #Firefox #LibreWolf #privacy #surveillance #Linux #Mozilla
If you’re switching to #Firefox, remember Firefox is not private by default. Consider the #LibreWolf fork, which is. Otherwise, go into your settings and adjust its tracking features (like having #Google as the default search engine), turn off telemetry, “experiments”, etc.
(Also, if you all switch and Google goes bankrupt, #Mozilla will go bankrupt too because they exist thanks to half a billion dollars a year from Google. So remember Google must survive for Mozilla to survive.)

Mozilla’s new Mozilla.Social Mastodon instance is an attempt to reinvent content moderation
Mozilla.Social, a new beta Mastodon server from the team at Mozilla, brings a new take on policy to the Twitter clone. It’s not worried about censorship or free speech — it’s just trying to make a better place to be online.David Pierce (The Verge)

Mozilla to explore healthy social media alternative
In early 2023, Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social.Steve Teixeira (The Mozilla Blog)
“Aral, we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company, I don’t understand why you’re holding us to a such a higher standard.”
When I finally managed to pick my jaw off the floor the only retort I could manage was: “But that’s not what you tell people.”

• A “not-for-profit” that owns multiple for-profit businesses and pays its CEO $5.6M
• Gets ~83% of its revenue (~$500,000,000) every year from surveillance capitalist Google
• Makes a browser that protects your privacy (*some configuration required)
• Is now a VC…
This is the best we can expect from Silicon Valley/capitalism. Question is: can we do better than that?

TL;DR: a good thing happened today, #Mozilla stood up for your rights and safety.
Back in 2013 asm.js, which has now evolved into #WebAssembly #WASM - one of the most relevant technologies for computing in the future.
2015, what has started as a research project by Graydon Hoare, the #Rust programming language, which will define how we will develop software in the future.
I think people don't appreciate this enough.
