TLDR: I’ve implemented #QuantumResistant #Encryption into my #P2P messaging #webapp using #MLKEM (#Kyber) to protect against future #QuantumComputing threats. Read my latest #Blog post to see how I’m securing #DataPrivacy today.

My journey into #PostQuantum #Security
I’ve been working hard on my latest project update, focusing on how we can protect our #Privacy from the looming threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. I just finished writing a technical deep dive into how I’ve implemented #QuantumResistant #Cryptography into my #P2P messaging platform.

The core of my approach involves using #MLKEM (formerly #Kyber) to ensure long-term #DataSecurity. I’m particularly proud of the #CascadingEncryption layer I’ve built; by combining #NIST standards with the #SignalProtocol, I'm ensuring that your #Communications remain #Secure even if a single algorithm is compromised in the future.

If you are into #OpenSource, #InfoSec, or #Decentralized #Tech, I’d love for you to read about my implementation and the challenges of bringing #QuantumResistance to the #Browser using #JavaScript.

Hei fediversumi
Olen noin 40-vuotias koneinsinööri, jota kiinnostaa luonto, eläimet ja kestävä kehitys – sekä käytännössä että periaatteena. Uskon kierrätykseen, järkevään resurssien käyttöön ja avoimeen teknologiaan. Open source tuntuu luontevammalta kuin big tech -ekosysteemit.

Nörttiyttä löytyy sopivasti: scifiä, tietokoneita ja ohjelmistoja.

This is a follow-up post on the sad state of Mozilla

First, notice the date of the commit identified (as highlighted in a few posts below this one).

Secondly, Mozilla has done further changes to their Privacy policy since this initial change. I am not fully convinced about them - since the Privacy FAQ at the same time is not aligned. The reason for my continued mistrust to Mozilla is that they have gradually, over many years, moved in a direction I do find privacy unfriendly. And they have ties/agreements/contracts/partnerships to companies who does not have a good track record on privacy topics. I generally trust people and organisations actions more than their words of what they want to do.

Thirdly, it should be fairly clear to most that AI/LLM is not preserving privacy well when data is sent to a remote server to be processed there. And even running parts of the LLM engines locally does not fully disentangle the privacy aspects fully - data is still being exchanged with a remote server (otherwise there would not need to be "AI service provider URLs" in about:cofig). Mozilla did force AI/LLM unto users, enabled by default with the only way to disable that in the beginning via about:config. And it took several releases before more user friendly approaches to disable it arrived. Due to this delay, I really wonder "does these new knobs really fully disable AI/LLM?". I have that doubt, because of how Mozilla has behaved over many years.

On top of this, the Mozilla leadership is extremely well paid while they have reduced their engineering teams working on Firefox and other products. That is a too strong indication for me to ignore, that profit and leadership compensation seem to be way more important than the core mission of making Internet a better place.

I have little trust in Mozilla for the time being. And I doubt I'm alone, due to the traction this toot thread triggered. Currently, I believe trust can be built up again. But it will take a lot of efforts now to repair what has been broken. For that to improve for me, I will need to see a lot of actions from Mozilla, where they clearly does changes in the whole organisation and communicates them clearly and that the communication is aligned across all aspects - including policy documents, FAQs, source code. Until that happens, I will use some of the Firefox forks. And leadership compensation need to be completely transparent and come down to a level which is not in an astronomic level comparable to large for-profit enterprise companies who generally cares little for anything than their own egoistic wealth.

If a person taking a leadership role in an organisation claiming for a better Internet and fighting for its users is getting uninteresting unless there is a million dollar yearly compensation when the people doing the grunt work, delivering code resulting in a real product, has a 5th or 10th of that compensation, then I do question the values this person holds. And I will especially highly question the leadership when they need to reduce cost and choses to cut among the engineers doing the grunt work while the leadership not considering their own compensation.

So basically, I find the Mozilla organisation fairly rotten currently. It preaches the nice words but ends up doing something completely different.

No idea why my 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard configuration utility (#8bdkbd) #GitHub repository has been increasing starts a bit faster lately. Actually quite surprised it has this "many" stars.

I'm glad, since I put it out there so that it could help someone else. But since I've published it and configured my own keyboard, it's been pretty much fire and forget.

(Theory: maybe people got keyboards for Christmas and found the repo as they started using the keyboard?)

The x axis is not very well specified, but should start around April 2024 and ends now (January 2025). The red line shows a curve close to proportional across time, starting at 0, ending in 34. Around January, the curve gets steeper.

As an enthusiast for open source software who is also disabled, I get frustrated at how inaccessible a lot of open source software is. When there are accessibility options, they're usually bolted-on additions that don't work very well. Disabled users are forced into ad-hoc compromises that are laborious to install and labyrinthine to operate. The frustration often drives us back to corporate software. OSS is high friction and low benefit for many disabled users.

Open source developers would gain a lot from integrating accessible design into their products from the ground up (like TTS! My kingdom for fully integrated neural TTS on my browser and operating system). Accessibility features don't just help disabled people. More than half of all people using a phone use accessibility features. Do you really want to exclude half your users?

Accessibility also requires you to think about things like simplicity of design and ease of access for all your users. It can provide redundancy for errors (for example: alt text can be helpful when an image doesn't load, captions can provide a backup if their audio drops out, alternate input methods can allow people to continue using an app if they have keyboard or mouse issues). It can improve design (example: clearer instructions, easier to read text, simple consistent navigation). In short: it makes your software better.

Making the world more accessible for one group improves access for all: this is a basic principle of universal design. Stop excluding us and start making us the core of what you do — you will be a better developer for it.

Abstract Objects Layer

The functions in this chapter interact with Python objects regardless of their
type, or with wide classes of object types (e.g. all numerical types, or all
sequence types). When used on object types for which they do not apply, they
will raise a Python exception.

It is not possible to use these functions on objects that are not properly
initialized, such as a list object that has been created by :c:func:PyList_New,
but whose items have not been set to some non-\ NULL value yet.

▸Chapter 1 — Understanding CPython Before Code

CPython is both a compiler and an interpreter. It compiles Python source code to bytecode, then executes that bytecode on a stack-based virtual machine. Understanding this dual nature reveals how Python achieves its balance between high-level expressiveness and runtime efficiency.

Key Concepts:

Everything is an object: Integers, functions, classes, modules, even types themselves are objects with a uniform interface
The GIL: A mutex that protects Python objects, simplifying memory management but limiting CPU-bound parallelism
Memory Management: Reference counting (immediate) + cyclic garbage collection (for cycles)
Compilation Pipeline: Source → Tokens → AST → Bytecode → Execution

motivation

• It's important to know
• how to use a programming language
• it's tools
• compiler(s)
• assembler
• linker

It's vital to know how the compiler works from the source

• I dive in deep into the sources
• sit and read, learn the logic, check the remarks
• that gives and understanding of the workings of the whole suite of tools for that language

I used explorar.dev in this example, but you don't need the internet to analyse source code. Just download them once, then read at your leasure offline

The screencaps are included to show how it can be done via explorar.

Happy hacking!

Android gehört uns. Noch. Aber wie lange?

Keep Android Open – bevor es zu spät ist!

Stell dir folgendes Szenario vor, du kaufst ein neues Smartphone, bezahlst es aus eigener Tasche und gehst selbstverständlich davon aus, dass es dein Eigentum ist. Ein Jahr später erhält das Gerät ein Systemupdate. Danach erscheint beim Installieren einer App plötzlich eine Meldung: „Diese App darf auf deinem Gerät nicht mehr installiert werden.“

Nicht, weil die App illegal wäre. Nicht, weil sie nachweislich gefährlich ist. Sondern, weil der Entwickler nicht im vorgesehenen Register steht.
Genau dieses Szenario könnte ab September 2026 Realität werden.

Also, it's a separate platform, which will be lost, if they lose the lawsuit (which is pretty likely, because authorities don't give a crap about digital freedom, only about the big corps' business, they don't consider YouTube datamining people a crime, but they do consider companies "hurting" big tech, see the YouTube Vanced case))
(And tbh, I personally prefer to watch YouTube videos without tying my watch history into an online account, FreeTube already offers a really solid experience)

Schönen guten Morgen,

DARF ICH EUCH EINLADEN ZU MEINER GESCHICHTE!

DIE GEBURT VON LINUX! – Wie ein Hobby‑Projekt die Welt veränderte.

Kapitel vier

https://hedgedoc.linuxat.de//hc/s/wAM_IpHDDm

#Linux #Geschichte #OpenSource #freiheit #Foss

Was tue ich?

Was tue ich für eine bessere Welt? 🌍

Ich stelle mir diese Frage tatsächlich selbst sehr oft. Ich stelle sie mir, weil ich finde, dass wir sie uns alle öfter stellen sollten, ehrlich, ohne schönreden, ohne wegzuschauen.

Und... Ich mache das nicht perfekt. Ich scheitere auch. Ich bestelle auch mal etwas online. Ich bin kein moralisches Vorbild, ich versuche nur bewusst zu leben.

Technologie & digitale Selbstbestimmung

Ich nutze seit 1998 ausschließlich Linux. Privat und beruflich. Kein Windows, kein macOS. Nicht aus Trotz, sondern weil freie, offene Software für mich eine politische Haltung ist. Wer seine Daten, seine Werkzeuge und seine digitale Infrastruktur vollständig in den Händen von Konzernen lässt, die damit Milliarden verdienen, gibt ein Stück Souveränität ab. Das will ich nicht. Ich verwalte privat und beruflich dutzende Linux-Server, und ich tue das mit Überzeugung, nicht nur mit Kompetenz.

Kein Facebook (mehr). Kein Twitter/X (mehr). Kein Instagram. So wenig Amazon wie möglich. Ich weiß, das klingt für manche radikal. Für mich ist es konsequent. Diese Konzerne verdienen an unserer Aufmerksamkeit, an unseren Daten, an unserer Wut. Ich verweigere dieses Geschäftsmodell.

Stattdessen bin ich hier, im Fediverse. Dezentral, offen, menschlich. Ich betreibe mit lsbt.me eine eigene Mastodon-Instanz: ein sicherer, queerer Raum für LGBTQ+ Menschen. Ohne Algorithmus, der Hass belohnt. Ohne Konzern, der entscheidet, welche Stimmen sichtbar sind. Bei uns entscheidet die Community.

Ökologie & bewusstes Leben

Meine Frau Michelle und ich leben in unserem eigenen Haus und versuchen jeden Tag, unseren ökologischen Fußabdruck so klein wie möglich zu halten. Auf unserem Dach arbeitet eine 11-kWp-Photovoltaikanlage, gespeichert in einem 11-kWh-Heimspeicher. Wir produzieren unseren Strom weitgehend selbst. Die Sonne schickt keine Rechnung.

Wir fahren wenig, kaum 5.000 bis 7.000 Kilometer im Jahr. Bald steigen wir auf ein Elektroauto um, den Skoda Epiq, und laden es dann mit unserem eigenen Sonnenstrom. Mit einer PV-optimierten Wallbox schließt sich der Kreis.

Hinter unserem Haus liegt ein großer Garten, der uns echte Selbstversorgung ermöglicht. Bohnen, Kohlrabi, Salate, Kartoffeln, Zwiebeln, Knoblauch, Erdbeeren, Brombeeren. Mehrere große Kirschbäume, ein alter Walnussbaum, viele Apfelbäume. Was wir nicht selbst ernten, kaufen wir regional und saisonal. Essen hat für uns wieder einen Weg, und eine Herkunft.

Und ja, ich bin mir sehr bewusst, dass ich das Privileg habe, mir diese Infrastruktur (Haus/PV/E-Auto) leisten zu können, und sehe es gerade deshalb als Verantwortung, es auch genau so zu tun.

Politik & Haltung

Ich bin politisch. Sehr. Manche nennen mich linksextrem, ich finde das ehrlich gesagt eher bezeichnend für den Zustand unserer Debattenkultur als für meine tatsächliche Haltung. Ich bin weder gewalttätig noch verfassungsfeindlich. Ich bin schlicht der Meinung, dass Menschenwürde, soziale Gerechtigkeit und Klimaschutz keine Verhandlungssache sind. Ich bin Mitglied bei DIE LINKE, weil ich an eine Gesellschaft glaube, die niemanden zurücklässt.

Ich bin Feministin. Antifaschistin. Und ich stehe laut dazu, auch wenn es unbequem ist.

Aktivismus für trans* & LGBTQ+ Menschen

Ich bin eine Frau mit transgeschlechtlicher Vergangenheit. Und ich sage das nicht als Disclaimer, sondern als Erklärung, warum ich tue, was ich tue. Ich habe am eigenen Leib erfahren, wie es sich anfühlt, wenn niemand für einen kämpft. Wie es sich anfühlt, unsichtbar zu sein, diskriminiert zu werden, nicht zu wissen, ob es überhaupt einen Ausweg gibt.

Deshalb kämpfe ich. Ich habe jahrelang Selbsthilfegruppen für trans*, inter* und nicht-binäre Menschen geleitet, in Radolfzell, Ravensburg, Villingen, Sulz am Neckar und darüber hinaus. Ich habe als Peerberaterin hunderte Menschen auf ihrem Weg begleitet, bei Fragen zu Hormonen, Operationen, Ärzten, Behörden, Arbeitgebern, Familie. Ich habe Vorträge und Seminare an Schulen, Universitäten und Kliniken gehalten, um Transphobie zu bekämpfen, bevor sie entsteht.

Ich habe das nicht gemacht, weil ich musste. Ich habe es gemacht, weil niemand das durchmachen soll, was ich durchgemacht habe.

Tue ich genug? Nein. Niemand tut je „genug". Aber ich tue, was ich kann, mit dem, was ich habe, jeden Tag ein bisschen bewusster. Und ich glaube, das ist der einzig realistische Anspruch, den wir an uns selbst stellen sollten.

Was tust du für eine bessere Welt? Ich frage das nicht rhetorisch. Ich bin wirklich neugierig. 🌱

Orientating myself in the kernel lore

I haven't looked at the linux kernel source in too long a time. I just grabbed a section that was on top and started reading and learning

Source code is nice to read IMHO

Im Landkreis Harz arbeiten Schüler:innen auf gebrauchten Business-Laptops mit #Linux-OS.

"Ich unterrichte keine Marke, sondern ich unterrichte Kompetenzen. Textverarbeitung, Textstrukturierung oder Tabellenkalkulation können mit #LibreOffice genauso vermittelt werden wie mit #Microsoft Office." - Lehrerin Johanna Müller

Genau so geht #digitaleSouveranität und selbstbestimmte Techniknutzung! Keine überteuren Lizenzen, keine Schaffung von (Pfad)abhängigkeiten bereits im Kindesalter, keine Produktwerbung, für die auch noch gezahlt wird. Stattdessen nebenbei kritisches Denken fördern, während vordergründig Bürosoftware gelernt wird.

Android gehört uns. Noch. Aber wie lange?

Keep Android Open – bevor es zu spät ist!

Stell dir folgendes Szenario vor, du kaufst ein neues Smartphone, bezahlst es aus eigener Tasche und gehst selbstverständlich davon aus, dass es dein Eigentum ist. Ein Jahr später erhält das Gerät ein Systemupdate. Danach erscheint beim Installieren einer App plötzlich eine Meldung: „Diese App darf auf deinem Gerät nicht mehr installiert werden.“

Nicht, weil die App illegal wäre. Nicht, weil sie nachweislich gefährlich ist. Sondern, weil der Entwickler nicht im vorgesehenen Register steht.
Genau dieses Szenario könnte ab September 2026 Realität werden.

GIMP uses GEGL. I will briefly quote; I want you to seek GEGL data yourself at their site. It's a wonderful architecture

Quote

GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a data flow based image processing framework, providing floating point processing and non-destructive image processing capabilities to GNU Image Manipulation Program and other projects (imgflo, GNOME Photos, iconographer, …)

GIMP site also has interviews with the programmers. Go and seek

Keyboard shortcuts power in UI control

I've had consistent good keyboard experiences with keyboard shortcuts in both closed source and Open Source programs
The program suite by AutoDesk ACAD which I know from version 10.0, was run on a single tasking 286 CPU with a seperate 287 math coprocessor installed. That computer was in URC, the computer lab of my University in SR/SA.
In that period of multitasking dark ages on x86 not even the coprocessor could be integrated on the CPU die. Of course my Amiga multitasked all it's programs in the same period, but that's for another toot ;)
ACAD10 and others have a set of nice functions which I still know by heart, because I can make nice 3D images with them

Sequence

• o (ortho)
• s (snap)
• l (line) from point to point indicated by digitizer
• layer (define layers and colours for objects)
• a (arc from {end of} axis to nice random point)
• the object snap function is at work here
• create different arcs in different layers
• setvar
• SURFTAB1 (value as large as the math coprocessor can handle)
• SURFTAB2 (same as above)
• revsurf (revolution of surfaces) rotate the arcs around axis
• a gorgeous multilayered / multi coloured object is created
• the SURFTAB valuse will be important in the next step
• shade
• autoshade() creates a magnifique shaded object within a number of seconds to a minute

The 3D objects look gorgeous!

I can create them in seconds on simple hardware, and can play by making them for hours

GIMP v3.04

It was this early morning, when I tried to fire up GIMP, I noticed that I had forgotten to install this magnificent gfx tool kit.

I ran apt install gimp immediately

I've been using GIMP ever since it came out, decades ago (spawn 1995). Even though the UI was totally different from what I was used to, adaptation was fast and my fluency in use of GIMP increased fast. I like working in GIMP

The GIMP is 31 years old

Quote

In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP as a semester project at University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility.[8] The software was originally named the General Image Manipulation Program

GIMP v0.54 was first released in 1996

Over the decades I've seen a lot of users emitting futile complaints about the GUI, the use of many windows / viewports, while I can easily transition from closed source software on client's machines, to the GIMP, just by switching the mindset regarding the UI. The logic behind UI decisions is easily traceable.

GIMP has so many functions, I know of nobody who knows how to use all of them.

You should learn what you need to do, get fluent into those tasks, and learn more when you need more. This mind set also works in VIM, which has a massive ammount of functions and commands to make not only your programming in different languages more pleasant, it also has subtle assist functions which makes your source entries even more enjoyable.

GIMP always gives me consistent performance and I can rely on the keyboard shortcuts without having to use the mouse to select functions brushes, et all.
GIMP is for me a must have in my photo correction work flow. I've never relied on closed source software for those tasks, GIMP always has similar functions, many working even more efficient with your computer's CPU / GPU resources.

For the Love of GIMP

next section moved to seperate toot

Note:
I've always known that Open Source programs can be trusted better than closed source equivalents, something you all know when it comes down to the big photo manupilation suite, which enshittifies everything for its paying users.

GIMP shall always have its users back

You can trust GIMP

I'm looking at the architecture of things like Fedora Silverblue, NixOS, and the Steam Deck.

The concept of an immutable root filesystem with atomic updates seems like the technically correct way to do an OS. No more dependency hell, no more breaking the system with a bad sudo command. But the muscle memory of apt-get install / dnf install is hard to break. Containerizing everything (flatpak/distrobox) feels like a friction point for quick tasks.
For those who daily drive an immutable distro: Was the learning curve worth the stability? Or is it still too much friction for a machine? 🤔

Beim DiDay gilt: Bitte Barrierefreiheit nicht vergessen. Wenn wir wechseln, dann richtig. Empfehlt nur Systeme und Apps, die wirklich nutzbar sind – mit Screenreader, Tastatur, Untertiteln, gutem Kontrast und ohne fiese Hürden. Diese Bewegung kann die Welt fairer machen. Aber nur, wenn alle mitkommen. Freiheit ohne Zugang ist keine Freiheit. Also: testet, meldet Bugs, nervt Anbieter und baut Alternativen, die inklusiv sind.

I got rid of the default home/screen launcher app years ago, and haven't looked back. There are many alternatives.

My favorite is the KISS launcher. It gets rid of the pages of apps entirely. Instead, it puts four or five apps along the bottom row as "favorites", below that a search bar (which searches for apps, urls, optionally contacts, etc). Above it, previously launched apps in order of most recent use.

Most apps are either my favorites, right above my favorites, or one keyboard stroke away (just type the first letter of the app, and history list filters itself instantly.

It takes a minute to get used to, but it's worth it.

Ein Jahr später erhält das Gerät ein Systemupdate. Danach erscheint beim Installieren einer App plötzlich eine Meldung: „Diese App darf auf deinem Gerät nicht mehr installiert werden.“

Nicht, weil die App illegal wäre. Nicht, weil sie nachweislich gefährlich ist. Sondern, weil der Entwickler nicht im vorgesehenen Register steht.
Genau dieses Szenario könnte ab September 2026 Realität werden.

The end of Windows 10 and the terrible state of Windows 11 are driving more and more people to Linux. How do we help people actually manage the switch and stay with Linux?

Linux After Dark artwork

So, while clearing out my storage locker, I found a box of MiniDV tapes. I have two cameras, known to be working when they were put in storage about two years ago, but it’s probably time to get the video off the tapes before they deteriorate or the cameras stop working.

What’s the preferred #OpenSource #FOSS #Linux way of downloading copies of the data from tape? I think I have an old Mac Mini with a FireWire port, but I never liked the way iMovie chopped up the clips it downloaded.

🐍🤖 Saiu post novo no blog!

Ontem no encontro da https://bolha.us sobre ActivityPub a gente bateu um papo incrível sobre bots no Fediverso — e esse post é o resultado prático disso.

👉 Construindo Bots para o Fediverso com Python e apkit
https://www.riverfount.dev.br/posts/translate-bot/

Cubro tudo o que você precisa pra criar um bot ActivityPub do zero:

→ Por que usar apkit em vez de Mastodon.py
→ WebFinger, HTTP Signatures e RSA na prática
→ Um bug real de produção com digest SHA-256
→ 96 testes e os padrões de mock que aprendi na prática

O caso de estudo é um translate-bot: recebe menções, detecta o idioma e responde com a tradução direto na thread.

Do you also want contribute to the Open Source movement?
Don't know where to start?

• write a new program in
• C++
• rust
• Python
• goLang
• hunt for bugs and submit patches in existing programs
• choose any OS you like freeBSD openBSD netBSD Linux (win64 is fine is you work mostly there) to code for

You can't write programs (yet)?

• We need translators of programs, many programs dont have enough locale translators for languages used in projects you also use
• Interfaces to contribute are easy to follow

Want one easy example?

You must (have) use(d) google voice
It's getting enshittified (makes more and more mistakes) and is NOT opensource

• Common Voice is Open Source
• I contribute there (years)
• You need a only phone
• I contribute in three languages (ES NL UK EN)

Album cover of “Penguins of the World, Unite!” by The Free Lantern. Five confident penguins stand in a neon-lit digital city, glowing with futuristic energy. The central penguin wears colorful headphones and a green jacket, wings raised in celebration, while the others wear sunglasses and tech-inspired gear. Behind them, a luminous globe radiates light beams across a skyline of code, data streams, cloud icons, and security symbols. The atmosphere blends cyberpunk nightlife with playful rebellion, bright blues, electric greens, and warm golden highlights. At the top, bold neon typography reads “PENGUINS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!” and at the bottom, “THE FREE LANTERN.” It feels like a global tech party powered by collaboration.

It's a good idea to always have local copies of your important files. Modern NAS ("Network Attached Storage") systems integrate nicely with public Cloud services.

If you're interested in #digitalsovereignty and #opensource options might find the following thread interesting.

I’m thinking about getting a mini PC under €400 to move to Linux and start getting my hands dirty with self-hosting (home server, Docker, personal services, etc.).

It’s been on my mind for a while, but since I’ve mostly been in the Apple ecosystem, I’ve never really looked into hardware or understood the differences between setups.

What would you recommend right now?

DokuWiki is an open source wiki application licensed under GPLv2 and written in the PHP programming language.

https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki

It works on plain text files and thus does not need a database. Its syntax is similar to the one used by MediaWiki.[3] It is often recommended as a more lightweight, easier to customize alternative to MediaWiki.

(When you are testing out xampp in your computer localhost. the first thing to try is DokuWiki which does not require database)

Guess what's next up for Phil! Who's got experience and has pointers? GrapheneOS

A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.

So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).

Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

Screenshot of git commit for the Mozilla web page removing the FAQ question: «Does Firefox sell your personal data?»

#Mozilla has lost their ground and is now in a free fall into a sinkhole. I doubt they'll ever get out if this again unless they do a 180-turn within the coming days. Mozilla has lost a lot of trust and credibility over the last couple of years. This accelerates that distrust even more.

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/

It looks promising, until you hit the last paragraph (my highlight)

In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar. We set all of this out in our privacy notice. Whenever we share data with our partners, we put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share is stripped of potentially identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).

In my book, that's indirectly selling data.

Goodbye, #Firefox.

Tech founders become billionaires in their 20s. Linus Torvalds created Linux—the OS that powers the internet—and is worth ~$50M.

No royalties. No billions. Just a salary from the Linux Foundation.

He could have locked it down. Chased money. Became a billionaire.

Instead, he gave it to the world. Free. Forever.

Linux runs: internet servers, cloud infrastructure, Android, supercomputers.

Torvalds drives a regular car. Writes code. Answers emails.

Legacy > Money.
