Gegen den nächsten typischen "Merz" (Angriff auf NGOs und zivilgesellschaftliche Initiativen und Vereine) gibt es übrigens eine Bundestagspetition. Diese wurde bereits am 19.01.25 gestartet, anscheinend aus tiefer Kenntnis der Lage heraus. Die Mitzeichnungsfrist läuft noch bis zum 1. April (kein Scherz). Es ist also noch Zeit genug, das auf die wichtige Schwelle von 30.000 Mitzeichnern zu bringen. Dazu muss es aber verbreitet werden, und es müssen auch tatsächlich Leute mitzeichnen. Weiter unten noch ein Tagesschau-Artikel zum Thema.

On Wednesday, Mozilla introduced legal updates to users of Firefox, and something feels off. I read, and re-read the new Terms of Use and while much of it reads like standard boilerplate from any tech company, there’s a new section that is unexpected…Asif Youssuff
Auf Basis von geleakten Dokumenten haben wir mit #ReschkeFernsehen zu den Beratungsaufträgen der Bundesregierung recherchiert. Hunderte Millionen Euro geben die Bundesministerien jedes Jahr für Beratung aus – und es gibt nur wenige Kontrollmechanismen. Wir schaffen Transparenz und machen die „Beraterberichte” öffentlich. In einer Datenbank haben wir alle Beratungsaufträge von 2017 bis 2023 aufbereitet.
Die gesamte Recherche gibt es hier: fragdenstaat.de/beraterbericht…
Verschleiern, Verschwenden, Klüngeln: Die Berater*innen-Deals der Bundesregierung haben schon für zahlreiche Skandale gesorgt. Es fehlt Kontrolle. Bis jetzt. Wir veröffentlichen erstmals die bislang geheimen Beraterberichte.FragDenStaat

@mozillaofficial decided to add "Terms of Use" to #Firefox.
If you just asked "WTF?", welcome to the club.
Of course, this doesn't make sense, it couldn't be just like that... so I went on and read the terms. The trick is specifically on this bit:
"These Terms only apply to the Executable Code version of Firefox, not the Firefox source code."
So sure, Firefox is still the Free Software codebase you were used to, only now if you want to use not the code but Mozilla's distributed binaries, you'll do so while also agreeing to some Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The trick is, of course, to not use their binaries. In practice, things are a bit trickier. Ubuntu, for instance, was more than happy to ditch their self-compiled Firefox packages and use Mozilla-provided snaps instead.
But trickier or not... well, Mozilla has just made an unhappy user base unhappier - and I hope they reap what they are sowing.

General rule of thumb: Every time an organization updates their terms of service and/or privacy policy, it is never because they have your best interests at heart.Specific thoughts on this latest Mozilla action (blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…)
Setting aside the "worldwide license" bullshit, the privacy policy appears to have broadened both the classes of data Mozilla aims to collect, and the situations in which they collect them.
These are not the actions of an org that cares about your privacy.

"We welcome people from abroad to apply with Tuta. If you are currently living outside of Germany and need to relocate to Hanover in order to join our team, we will help you with everything necessary. We also have experience with the blue card visa process to support you if you relocate from outside the EU."

lool. Then there's articles like these. "Slack might be down, but remote workers are reveling in the massive outage with potential global workday freedom"

I'm not sure if it was workday freedom for me. I could still work in Google Workspace content, in our internal repos to create my branch and draft PR, and reply to an engineer about some questions he had on implementing a fix. All in all, not a day of freedom, but maybe one of lessened productivity ever so slightly.

Ever wonder why Americans spell "canceled" with one L but still spell "cancellation" with two? In this week's podcast, we explore how spelling rules, stress patterns, and historical quirks explain this inconsistency.

"Musk and Trump’s focus on fraud is nothing new. Fraud has always served as a powerful political trope, one that provides a rationale for cutting government. Accusations of fraud were used to discredit Black elected officials during Reconstruction. Ronald Reagan’s Welfare Queen was an especially effective trope directed against poverty-based policies."

"How does Elon Musk use the word 'fraud' to dismantle the US federal government?
The term is not as an attempt to describe the world, but to change it. It is a political tool, used by a politician to justify a political action: regime change to oligarchy."

"Musk's 'fraud' rhetoric is presented as an anti-politics, as something fresh and exciting. But it is in fact a politics, a very old sort, the politics of oligarchy. As he himself has made clear himself, Musk is a politician with a program. It is to disable the rule of law, leaving no barriers to his oligarchical power. In this scheme, the only parts of government meant to function are the ones used to silence people who point out this obvious truth."
