Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

⚠️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.

There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.

Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.

You can see examples of this scam in the thread at https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699

(Thanks @markwyner for the warning about this! 🙏 )

Headsup to anyone who follows @Flipboard accounts:

Some of them post extremely frequently because they're run by news agencies etc, and you're getting a firehose of articles.

You can narrow this down to articles about specific topics by following the account's "magazines", sub-accounts that only show posts on certain topics.

For example @AssociatedPress posts all Associated Press articles, but @entertainment-AssociatedPress is just AP's entertainment posts.

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED.

Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains.

This is an unfortunate development as Germany is crucial to defeating Chat Control.

🕑 EU Citizens have 4 days: the clock is ticking!

European countries are finalizing their positions on Chat Control this Friday. If your country supports Chat Control, it is vital you contact your representatives and voice your opposition to the EU's latest surveillance and censorship tactic. 🇪🇺
