In the last few months, many people have called on the EU to start supporting open alternatives to US-owned social media sites. The thing is: The EU has been doing that for some time already. It has financed, among others, ActivityPub, Mastodon and PeerTube. For @netzpolitik_feed, we spoke to Michiel Leenaars, who professionally gives out buckets of EU cash to open source projects.

Máte pár minut volného času, který byste chtěli věnovat na věc sloužící všem? Upravujte #OpenStreetMap ve svém okolí, je to snadnější než tušíte.
Velké firmy jako #SeznamCZ vzali kdysi z OSM vše dostupné (#mapy_cz) a do OSM přestali přispívat.
Je spousta příležitostí, co v OSM aktualizovat: přidat nový obchod, upravit otevírací dobu, přidat odkaz na homepage úřadu, atd. To vše jsou velmi jednoduché kroky v pohodlném online editoru.

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.
We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.
It's the classic FOSS funding problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been more important. And yet we can't pay our bills.

I'm baffled about the myriad of @mozillaofficial structures, amount of directors / C-level people & how to rhyme 'investing in privacy-respecting advertising; with 'draw a bigger circle of supporters over the long run.'
As a long time Mozilla supporter, I was already unhappy about the direction of the last years & this does certainly not bode well for the future. 😞 😩
