With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything? Why should that creep (through his foundation) get to use that kind of power to shape what scientists and NGOs can do?

(Nobody should have that power, most foundations are politically a net negative on the world but I am talking about a specific case here.)

Europe is dependend on the US tech and it's a bad thing. We cannot be hold in a grip by a fanatic. We have to change it

”När USA i sin nya säkerhetsstrategi utmålar EU-länderna i direkt fientliga ordalag, bör vi dra några slutsatser av de senaste årens utveckling. Detta angrepp utspelar sig lika mycket i den kod vi beredvilligt köper in som i de data vi naivt ger bort till de tidigare vännerna i väst. Är det verkligen ”mer AI”, som i dagsläget är just amerikansk, som är svaret?”

This petition wants contributing to Free Software to be legally and officially recognized as volunteering in Germany on the same level as youth work or ambulance service:

https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/recognition-of-work-on-open-source-as-volunteering-in-germany#petition-main

This would bring fiscal and funding advantages for FLOSS organizations and the volunteers themselves.

If you are a German citizen, please sign the petition and let's get our volunteers the recognition they deserve!

Låter som att Mozilla faktiskt lyssnar lite till användarnas AI-kritik. Bra!

AI controls are coming to Firefox
