Who's checking out #MozFest next week? We'll be in virtual attendance, and this is one of the talks we're excited about (for obvious reasons):

▶️ Dialogues & Debates: Making the Fediverse | Mozilla is joining the Fediverse in 2023 to co-create its future. What are its greatest opportunities and limitations? How can we scale methodology and not solutions? What is the public discourse square of the future? Who is building it?

Soeben habe ich 20.- CHF sinnvoll ausgegeben; #thunderbird von #mozilla ist auf unsere #Spende angewiesen. Vielleicht kannst ja auch Du mithelfen, dass dieses sinnvolle Projekt in Zukunft weiter existiert:

#Hilfe #opensource #email

Just now I spent 20.- CHF wisely; thunderbird by mozilla depends on our #donation. Maybe you can #help to keep this useful project going in the future?




Firefox Sync is awesome and I use it all the time. It'd be awesome if #Mozilla would make it easier to have a self-hosted option for this too. I know it *can* be done (I played with it a bit) but it was very hard to get going and I eventually had to give up.


Here's a very early implementation of #Firefox Sync running in Thunderbird Daily!

The bones are there and the foundation is solid.

Though it may be called something else by the time we launch it in Thunderbird 115 (such as Thunderbird Sync or #Mozilla Sync), it's a feature we're THRILLED about putting in your hands.


I’m not going to use bloody bugzilla, so if anyone from Mozilla sees this, your enterprise flow for adding certificate authorities (CAs) to Firefox on Linux fails on Fedora Silverblue.

Since Fedora Silverblue is seen as the possible future of Fedora/Red Hat, you folks might want to talk to the Fedora folks about it and come up with a solution.

Wonderful holidays and a happy new year!
🎄🍭🎅🎁☃️ 🍾🥂🎆

I wish you all the best for the next year #Thunderbird 🐦. And now have a nice time with your friends the #Firefox 🦊 and the #Mozilla 🦖😀

#Mozilla is creating a fediverse instance. What is Mozilla?

• 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?

1/3


… Or, in what a previous head of public policy at Mozilla told me while we were chatting before our talks at a data protection conference:

“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.”

3/3

#Mozilla #fediverse #SiliconValley #ventureCapital #BigTech



Welcome to the #Fediverse, @mozilla! Yeah, let’s get moving! 💚🌱

"In early 2023, #Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the #Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. "

"Now is the time, as we’re living through the consequences of 20 years of centralized, corporate-controlled social media, with a small oligopoly of large tech firms tightening their grip on the public square."

Thunderbird starts and decides (without asking me) to open a web page in my default browser to beg about donation.

Thunderbird being hypocritical again:
- they're saying donations are what keep them alive yet they just bought out K-9
- they're saying they're "privacy-respecting", yet they open a tracking web page at every start of Thunderbird

The funniest: the links, even in the donate page, contains trackers.

Seriously @thunderbird stop acting like the good guys.

if only #firefox didn't become such a shitty experience... Thanks, #mozilla /s


So, my first #vivaldi
#web #browser poll has ended. the results are here: mastodon.social/@Unatributed/1…

Unfortunately not a lot of respondents, but the ~60/40 split was enough to get me to install vivaldi.

Unfortuantely I won't be sticking with it. Why? My main reason for installing it was the new mail client, which reminded me of the old #Mozilla and #opera browsers. Alas, the mail client doesn't work the way I need it to, and there are lots of forum posts about problems with it...


Basically, “are we getting away with it?” (Whatever ‘it’ is now… whatever the catch is this time… to be fair, I’ve stopped caring. Folks seem want to believe what they want to believe and don’t appreciate it much when you point out even the most glaring issues with their darlings.)

#mozilla


Mozilla’s survey for its new Firefox Translations extension.

Exactly the questions folks who are doing nothing dodgy would ask.

#mozilla





I am really happy about this announcement from #Mozilla: a free, completely local, #translation engine. Also you can run the training pipeline yourself. And, it can translate your input in forms to the language of the site. blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/lo…




Fucking hell, as some of you have pointed out in the comments, also, it’s tied to my router. I have the same router I had in Malmö. If this is not a GDPR violation, I have no idea what is.

So Mozilla – Defender of Privacy™ – is storing my location history, tied to my router, without ever having gotten consent from me to do so.

This is a fucking scandal.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.
