We are not lawyers, nor our alter egos play as such on the Internet. Ergo in the face of legal challenges we are only rusticos.

If you feel ad idem and want to lend a hand, or head, to #FDroid pro bono and bona fide, you can help in our ongoing efforts ad infinitum.

Lately I've been wondering how I could contribute to open source projects despite not being a programmer and not having money for donations, and then I found out about #localisation. For the past couple of days I've been doing some translations for #mozilla projects, mainly #thunderbird, and having my strings aproved has been really satisfying. I love how intuitive Mozilla's localisation interface is.

What a weird world in which the #publisher champions #GDPR because #privacy and #Mozilla says it's harmful 🤯

#Schibsted also celebrates the #DigitalMarketsAct for reining in #Meta's #gatekeeper power.

Other interesting point: they'd like #cookies under the #GDPR instead of #ePrivacy combined with a timid acknowledgement that publishers are forced to participate in a system (of #programmatic #advertising) they cannot control.

Wow so the #Mozilla engineer disagrees and claims "#GDPR has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the #browser should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggregated form to advertisers.

This would "give control to people while also unlocking the data". 🥱

And all in a sudden, #SurveillanceAdvertising is not a #humanrights issue any more but merely a question of "governance".

@ryanleesipes can you raise a serious proposal with the board towards changing the legal name, even something simple like Thunderbird Technologies, like whatever.

Once Mozilla and Firefox were an asset to be associated with, I fear that Firefox and Mozilla are both very much tanking in 2025 with their decision to start selling out on user data.

I’ve always loved Firefox and been a strong advocate but the recent changes cut deep, we all know too well the odor that enshitification gives off when companies start to sell out on their users.

#Mozilla changed hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozill to use 302 redirect:

< HTTP/2 302
< content-type: text/html
< date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:13:36 GMT
< location: hg-edge.mozilla.org/releases/m
< access-control-allow-origin: *
< content-length: 0

This could lead to some failure to update the certificate data with tools that don't handle redirect correctly. These tools will fail to fetch the new certdata.txt now.
