Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used nin the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Io ho trovato molto paternalistico il fatto che quando ho chiesto di cancellare il mio account Facebook abbia risposto una cosa tipo
Per adesso te lo blocco e basta, te lo cancello per davvero fra 30 giorni, così hai tempo per ripensarci.
Ho quasi 56 anni ma non posso decidere di cancellare immediatamente il mio account su Facebook perché lui ha deciso che devo pensarci meglio.
Comunque, i 30 giorni sono passati e il mio account con loro.
Che poi si parla di cancellare un account su Facebook eh, mica di rinunciare alla cittadinanza...

Hiya, Daniela e J. Alfred Prufrock like this.
@Massimiliano Polito 🇪🇺 condivido pienamente quanto scrivi.
Intanto è passato un giorno, e il mio tentativo di cancellazione - sia pure con i 30 gg per ripensarci - continua a non andare a buon fine.
"Si è verificato un errore - Riprova più tardi."
Tutto quel fior d'ingegneria, tutta quell'AI e non riescono a formulare un messaggio d'errore più informativo, che magari mi possa fornire un indizio sul motivo per cui non mi stia permettendo di cancellare un account che porta il mio nome?
Piccolo aggiornamento tragicomico: non posso neanche disattivare. Stesso messaggio "Si è verificato un errore. Riprovare più tardi."
Ho provato anche da cellulare, ma niente.
Il tentativo di disattivazione è anche umiliante perché obbliga a fornire una motivazione per questa scelta. Tra le motivazioni, peraltro, manca "Perché non funziona l'eliminazione".
Facebook è veramente il male.
Leo reshared this.
Mi sembra di essere come un personaggio di quei manga dove il protagonista deve provare e fallire centinaia di volte e perseverare, attendere e digiunare, soffrire e perseverare ancora, fino al momento in cui arriva al momento perfetto, padroneggia e perfeziona il gesto e diventa una persona nuova.
Mi sento così mentre continuo a effettuare il login, seguire i menù a memoria fino alla voce che mi consentirebbe di eliminare l'account, schivare le domande sul perché lo faccio e gli avvisi sul fatto di perdere anche la pagina X e il gruppo Y, ri-autenticarmi per motivi di sicurezza e arrivare al pulsantone dall'aspetto grosso e definitivo.
Ci faccio sopra "clic", un indicatore d'attesa gira facendomi credere che il sistema stia finalmente frullando, distruggendo il mio account, e alla fine, quando mi aspetto di leggere "Hai eliminato il tuo account", vedo invece comparire "Si è verificato un errore. Riprova più tardi". E non posso neanche riprovare: mi ritrovo con la sessione chiusa, per cui bisogna scalare di nuovo la montagna.
Riproverò.
Quarto giorno.
Ancora niente.
Googlerò (ma non su Google), potrei anche chiedere all'AI.

Facebook launched a tool, Manage Activity, that allows users to delete all their old posts and photos. The options allow you to choose, or do it in bulk.Mikael Thalen (The Daily Dot)
Mi sovviene un dubbio atroce: nel tentativo (a vuoto) di cancellare il profilo loggandomi dietro VPN (freeopenvpn, Germania e USA), ho dovuto validare l'accesso con un codice ricevuto via email.
Nell'email che usavo con FB ho quindi trovato un'email datata ieri: "Bentornato/a su Facebook" - "L'account Facebook è stato riattivato".
Non è che la procedura va a buon fine nonostante il messaggio d'errore?
Per scoprirlo però devo evitare di fare altri tentativi per almeno 30 giorni, altrimenti rischio di riattivare tutto a ogni nuovo tentativo.
Ovviamente ho anche tentato la carta dello strumento di segnalazione errori di Facebook, molto ben fatto tecnicamente: per far cadere i tuoi ticket nel vuoto, ma con stile!

CE L'HO FATTA!!
Grazie a tutti per gli incoraggiamenti
Scrivo cosa impediva la cancellazione da #facebook , nel caso possa tornare utile ad altri nella mia situazione.
Nel riepilogo prima del "pulsantone" finale, quello che andava in errore, mi sono saltate all'occhio delle "App" di cui risultavo unico amministratore. Il problema è che non ho mai sviluppato o usato app. Ho aperto la gestione di queste app, che riportavano il nome di alcune vecch(issime) pagine facebook. Le ho rimosse una ad una.
Una volta rimosse le "app" (qualsiasi cosa fossero), la procedura di eliminazione è andata a buon fine.
Adesso: 30 giorni di attesa e il mio account smetterà di esistere! 🍾

Just a note that you linked to what I assume is the testing site 😀 You probably meant gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.…
Congrats on the release!
Introduction¶ After seven years of active development, we are proud to announce the next major release of GIMP – GIMP 3.www.gimp.org
@Scott_Trakker@mastodon.world @GIMP@floss.social Go way dude. You're the one that showed up in my mentions to complain that someone doesn't appreciate trash. You're not king of the internet, bro. Go away.SFBA.social
@jonathankoren Please keep it civil - thank you.
GIMP is produced by volunteers. If you want specific features, yes, please file issues. If you want to be on the design team join the design team. But without code being written by volunteers, there won’t be changes. Vague suggestions like “modern editing tools” are hard to implement.
I really think you should sell the software binaries like #Ardour does. Not less than US $100. Free updates until next major version.
Many human beings will always be ungrateful for what they are given for free without payment.
Congratulations to the team for all the hard work!!
Never mind the trolls and keep going!!
@giggls You didn't, but the devs do.
And the main issue isn't about gay people, it's that it's a derogatory term for physically disabled persons. The most accurate German translation would probably be "Krüppel".
@fallbackerik @Toastface @supertobi @giggls @scy and also change the plug-in API, rewrite 10,000+ plug-ins and scripts, courses, documentation, 70+ language translations, find hosting for > 100K downloads/day...
Changing the name is a possibility for the future; for now we have what we have. A hostile fork is always possible, but you do need a team of developers.
@fallbackerik @supertobi @giggls @scy
I understand the scope of work and don't expect miracles. Perhaps rewording your FAQ would make it seem a little less hostile to the idea that the name might be inappropriate.
@fallbackerik @Toastface @supertobi @giggls @scy
You could just drop the G from the abbreviation, the word "IMP" would work fine as it's a mischievous fairy.
I mean this in a really positive way: you have an army of people waiting to promote you and support you, but they're being held back because of the letter G. It would be a tiny change and massive reward for you 🙂
just chiming in to share my support for this idea! A name change is a powerful way to let people know that you are taking a new approach to things. I can see a lot of people talking about this maybe for something like a 4.0 release (I know, we just got 3.0, but I'm thinking several years out).
Great seeing fresh energy behind this project!

The discussion about the name is very old. It is even in the FAQ:
gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-d…
And there was a fork, Glimpse, but they could not find enough contributors:
news.itsfoss.com/glimpse-gimp-…
And that's how open source works. If no one cares, nothing will change.
A few years back, someone forked GIMP into Glimpse because the term “GIMP” was offensive in a way. Not just limited to the name, but the fork also aimed to do better than what GIMP offered, with a potential to introduce an easier user interface and …Ankush Das (It's FOSS News)
Congratulations a big achievement, an amazing program. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I have mixed feelings about this as I know it will 1. probably be as clunky to use as its predecessors, 2. probably not have backward compatibility including breaking plugins.
But as there is no FOSS alternative to GIMP with the breadth of functionality of it, that I'm aware of, we just have to suck it up.
Congratulations, I guess?
Gimp is not clunky, and everything that is based on GEGL is NDE, this a pretty big achievement.
Much Love to #GIMP.

@rawrmonstar @supertobi @piratenpanda @mxjaygrant For what it's worth, this issue was discussed during a team meet-up in the last few years: developer.gimp.org/conferences…
It's one of the many things that developers want to come back to, after we recover from the 3.0 release.
I never knew you cared. This is not a joke? Better get the gimp.
I use Linux because it generally does what I do every day. There are a few ok programs out there like gimp, blender, and kdenlive. I mean they get the job done mostly without me having to reboot. Really I had a lot of pirate software and I could not open the gateway for them to report home in Windows is what brought me to Linux. (sorry I thought I was responding to Tom Ellard aka Lard Motel)
Thank you for all the hard work! I've been using GIMP for a while.
(Sorry about all the angry replies, I wish they'd be civil about how they disagree! Change the "offensive" name if you want, but keep up the good work with the actual software! ❤)
Anyone that is complaining about the name is simply an Adobe fanboys...
I seriously doubt it...
I've built GIMP-3 from source. It's nice. My #Linux distro will keep GIMP-2 and feature GIMP-3 as well. I'll comment that, for me, two features are missing from GIMP-3:
SVG support requires Rust now. Rust is a huge dependency to need to add just to get SVG. Additionally, Rust isn't available for some distros and/or architectures. So, for me, GIMP-3 will need to omit SVG. I think that some other distros will make the same decision.
The Create Logo command is gone as well.
Comment to @GIMP : It shouldn't be difficult for "file-svg.c" to support the 'C' version of librsvg. In fact, the code is already there in an "#else" block. It looks like relatively minor changes are needed. However, I haven't been able to make it work yet.
On the other hand, Resynthesizer and #GMIC both build and work. The base GIMP-3 filters plus those two add-ons are most of what I need.
Note to distro admins: To build Resynthesizer for GIMP-3 from source, you presently need to use the "resynthesizer3" git branch.
@gmic may be pleased to hear that GIMP 3.0.2 and GMIC 3.5.3 are confirmed to be simpatico. See the attached screenshot.
Note: The distro and desktop used here are my own 30-year-old project, Laclin. I'm as fond of it as the GIMP and GMIC teams are of their projects.
#gmic 3.6.0 is out. I thought I'd mention that the G'MIC speech bubble feature, which is new in 3.6.0, is confirmed to work in both #GIMP 2.10 and 3.0. This opens up new options for #webcomics creators.

[1]Non è la prima volta e non sarà l'ultima che teatrini della buoncostume avvengono, con questa stessa trama e gli stessi personaggi coinvolti: performer porno, studentɜ, dirigenti scolastici e partiti. Ci sono stati già episodi simili in passato e non hanno alcuna utilità se non inquinare un ambiente già inquinato.
Dal momento però che l'educazione sessuale e affettiva nelle scuole è un tema sempre più pressante - più che altro pressato, quasi spalmato a cazzo 'nsomma - a questo punto vorrei tirare non tanto le somme (non affidatevi alla discalculica) quanto delle tracce che altrimenti, parrebbe, tendiamo a ignorare.
- La pornografia come strumento didattico da portare nelle scuole è possibile. Innanzitutto perché, checché gridino e si strappino i capelli gli adulti assolutamente incapaci di presa sul presente.
[3]Però può essere un ottimo centro dal quale sgomitolare e discutere di società, di desideri e di immaginari.
Il che significa che continuare a illudersi di trarne una qualche educazione sessuale solo perché la sua architettura dell'esplicito consente di vedere cose inerenti alla sessualità, è propriamente in malafede oltre che da idioti. Però la pornografia è un fatto umano e come tale attraversa le età, le società, i costumi; è pure un fatto del capitale e quindi attraversa anche le dinamiche di potere, di oppressione e di immaginari dritti, storti e distorti.
In buona sostanza: basta avere timore di portare la pornografia a scuola: si può creare un dialogo intorno a essa con le persone più giovani. Bisogna cambiare l'approccio con cui costruire il dialogo: il perché e il come, più che il cosa.
[5]che hanno un approccio prettamente clinico e sanitario. Manca la complessità della vita reale, che le persone adolescenti invece vivono con i loro dubbi sul da farsi, giorno per giorno.
- La scuola siffrediana ha investito tutto e tutti in questa ressa allo scandalo; interpellare Felicitas che grida alla censura e si incatena per mostrare dissenso mi fa morire dal ridere, ma peggio è Alberto Pellai (psicoterapeuta e scrittore) che scrive un post al vetriolo su facebook e il vetriolo gli ha risposto chiedendogli "Alberto, sei per caso uno sbirro?". Dico io, onorevole dottor Pellai, siete stato pure citato da Pro Vita, qualcosa pur significherà. Ma lui lo sa benissimo, d'altronde.
Parlo di scuola siffrediana perché c'è tutto: un pornoattore che ce l'ha lungo, lunghissimo, l'ego; un evento che coinvolge anche dei minori per
[6]cui si continua a gridare alla loro protezione - senza interpellarli direttamente, sia mai - e una risposta "dagli esperti" che te la raccomando.

I'm really trying to make sense of the new @mozillaofficial privacy policy.
Here's where I'm getting tripped up:
> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’)
OK, sure. But if Moz isn't "selling my data in the way that most people think about selling data" then how *is* Moz selling my data?

Doesn't Google pay them to have their search bar defaulted? I wonder if it's related.
Plus all of the things they're saying about anonymized advertising tokens or whatever
Edit; I'm not interested to learn about the nuances of their pivot to advertising friendliness
Did the people responsible for Biden’s messaging jump over to Moz? 🤦🏻
(disclaimer, I worked at nscp and i want moz to succeed, despite themselves)
"Anonymizing" is nonsense in this context; they're providing user data to 3rd parties in exchange for something. This is a "sale" as reasonable people would understand it.
"We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP)."
Unfortunately, they're going about this in the same weasel way as Meta, Google, et al.
🤥 Claims of end-user #privacy via data aggregation are disingenuous -- as we've seen repeatedly.
Author of these new terms is recent hire Ajit Varma.
"Varma, the author of the above announcements, as a Firefox veep after previously looking after WhatsApp for Meta, and before that, Gmail, and its related tools for Google."
⭐ Don't hire from bad actors lest you become one.
Mozilla leaves your data in a hollow tree in a nearby park, and then two weeks later it finds a fat brown envelope stuffed with dollar bills under the doormat. The two events could be quite unrelated, so it's hard to show that Mozilla’s really SELLING the data, per se.
Your data wants to be free. Mozilla accepts modest contributions to cover the costs of giving your data its liberty.
Mozilla is paid exclusively in eggs and maple syrup. It's more like barter than an actual sale.
"we promise we're not gonna do what you think we're gonna do, but we're not gonna tell you what we're going to actually do" shady af, poor communication at best
ima start packing
Can I raise a thought, not as an accusation, but as a question of 'is this a valid concern?'
We always assume data is for advertisers selling AI penis pills, but politics is big money. Possibly bigger.
If political parties or the like wanted to pay good money to profile the people who are trying not to be profiled, wouldn't buying Mozilla data be invaluable?
Especially since Big Tech is rapidly aligning with the new regime, it's hard to shake the thought.
Well yes, if it's worth something to the data market, then it's worth protection for the user.
The value of that data, whether anonymized or identifiable, translates into consumers paying (more).
It's leveraging gateway privilege, part of the 'walled garden' strategy.
smells like selling training data to LLM companies or training LLMs themselves to sell as a service.
Also i absolutely resent the "oh, we are so sorry you were confused by our statement"
I HATE that patronizing double speak corporate PR bullshit.
Apparently it has to do with CCPA’s definition of “selling data” which simply includes data being transferred to any third party for any reason. Because Mozilla uses tools for collecting usage metrics and has some marketing and tracking stuff built in, any third party involved in this would receive this data, and the CCPA considers this “selling data”.
It can apparently be so over-broad that service providers have included this kind of language simply for your data being hosted in their services in a third party provider like Hetzner, AWS, etc.
So it appears to be some potentially over-broad definitions in law.

@bedast I don't buy it, sorry to say. There are graceful ways for orgs + lawyers to handle this. Rather than a broad clause like that, you can separate collection & usage into sections and describe it.
For ex, in cases where data is necessary for payment processing, email subs etc my orgs specify that collection + usage and the reason it's warranted.
Mozilla does telemetry I won't do, but still could've written that in specific terms. No one would have bat an eye.
@bedast it's a hard explanation for me to accept given my experience with Mozilla and folks at Mozilla. They know this stuff re: data and licensing extremely well.
This response seems like a smokescreen, and one with multiple iterations.
I wish Mozilla and Firefox well. There might be some soul-searching here to do and some re-centering of the org around its core values.
@profdiggity I'm a user of medical devices and I ran across someone complaining that Abbott has similar data sharing boilerplate in order to use their Libre sensors. Though it's worth noting Abbott has a bit more regulation to follow via HIPAA.
But one thing they do is host a page that explains all of the ways they use your data with adequate detail. It's possible HIPAA requires this, but it's something other companies could follow to help with trust.
@wizzwizz4 The problem is the moment you use a third party, it has to be disclosed. Firefox has a sync feature. Where are those services hosted? Firefox has Pocket, which has had its own controversies in the past. Where is that hosted?
It’s not always about telemetry. But in the case of Mozilla, it definitely includes telemetry.
Privacy laws define "selling" data as including transferring (aka sharing) data in exchange for economic benefit. So my guess is it's somethiung along those lines.
What I'm especially curious about is whether this is something they've been doing all along, breaking the law in the process, or if it's just something they *want* to do going forward.

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

General rule of thumb: Every time an organization updates their terms of service and/or privacy policy, it is never because they have your best interests at heart.
Specific thoughts on this latest Mozilla action (blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…)
Setting aside the "worldwide license" bullshit, the privacy policy appears to have broadened both the classes of data Mozilla aims to collect, and the situations in which they collect them.
These are not the actions of an org that cares about your privacy.

There is also the incredibly broad "To comply with applicable laws, and identify and prevent harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity." in which Mozilla states they may gather "all data types" - among the defined types include: searches, browsing data (visited URLS), content and any other data.
In support of nebulously defined "identify and prevent harmful," and in response to law enforcement.
That "learn more about" link just goes to a list of definitions.
This is far from the start of this journey, Mozilla have been working towards this point for many years.
A creeping corruption that I think has finally taken hold.
They themselves, say it best:
"Although we’ve historically relied on our open source license for Firefox and public commitments to you, we are building in a much different technology landscape today"
I need a web browser, I need it to be open source. I need it to be secure and maintainable. I need it to work in my best interests.
Firefox is no longer that browser, I'll be working to move off of it. I don't think there is an obvious place to go, yet.
@mauve Using any Chromium-based browser gives Google leverage to dictate how the web works, which they should not have, because they cannot be trusted.
Chrome is the new IE6.
@mauve I use LibreWolf. It's a Firefox fork, so if a site works in FF, it should work in LW, though may need some minor tweaking, as LW ships with stricter defaults. It works for substantially all sites for me.
Me using a non-Chrome browser doesn't put pressure on Google, nor do I think they'd be responsive if it did.
There are two problems here. If we're talking pressure, web developers are who need it, because when one rendering engine has the dominant marketshare that Blink does, they can ignore the others without much consequence (to them). That's a barrier to switching. Same story as IE in the naughts, we know this already.
The second problem is having a browser you can switch to. Any Firefox fork is a short-term bandaid over the gaping wound of Mozilla's poor stewardship, which will only continue to worsen; if Mozilla goes away, or gets bought by ghouls, or continues becoming ghouls themselves, those can't continue independently. And the web is so complex now that it's its own barrier to entry.
I don't know what to do about that. Probably the likeliest outcome is that we admit the corpos won, they colonized the web, and it's time to start rethinking this stuff from the ground up.
@ieure Yeah LibreWolf is a great option tbh. Is there a mobile equivalent?
I think Dev pressure is really not enough. I can't even do calls in slack in Firefox even though it has a decent WebRTC impl. I think a lot of it is lazyness tbh. But how can I pressure slack? I just have to open chrome for work. I'm glad there's at least degoogled forks even if they die off periodically.
Have you tried out ladybird? ladybird.org/
@mauve LW doesn't have an Android version. I use Fennec, which is similar.
I'm aware of Ladybird, but the lead dev seems like a real shithead. Heard about this basically the day after I heard of Ladybird:
github.com/SerenityOS/serenity…
He's also an active blue-check Twitter user. Guy's out there telling everyone who he is.
It's a minor nitpick, but I think it's important; assuming the user and/or developer of the operating system is male isn't exactly the best.GitHub
@ieure @mauve It's a long-running pattern of behavior that has gotten worse lately, either emboldened as other tech figures come out as fascist without consequences, or falling further down some fascist internet rabbit hole (or both).
The lead Ladybird dev is now essentially endorsing white replacement theory: corteximplant.net/objects/f2d3…

I NEVER claimed, #Verso is ready to compete with products from #Ad / #AI corps eg. #Google / #Mozilla. With both sinking into #enshittification though, arguing over which has the least awful browser matters less than building better alternatives NOW.
My suggestion is supporting a non-profit group, making a #FOSS browser (Verso) based on a fast FOSS engine (@servo) to get it ready ASAP.

This clause explicitly separates the information they claim license over from the data collected in the Privacy Notice. This clause is more expansive—"information uploaded through Firefox" is basically anything in a HTTP request or a websocket.

I have spent my night reading browser Terms and Privacy Policies. Why? Because I love you and hate myself, apparently.
So here's the deal: that "non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" you're granting to Firefox/Moz when you upload data through it? It is boilerplate language. Pretty common actually!
But not in browsers. In fact, not a single browser ToS has anything resembling this provision.
Know what does?
I wonder why Mozilla would want to use the same language those platforms do.

Mozilla has updated their press release with the following clarification:
UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information type into Firefox, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice.
blog.mozilla.org/en/products/f…
That is good to hear, but their reasoning makes no sense given that no other browser uses that language.

I can't think of any respectful reason to expect me to grant non-exclusive wordwide rights to my browsing data of any kind, what the
does konqueror support chrome or firefox extensions
the clarification is in a blog post, that may not be legally binding. so in my eyes any clarification outside of the ToS is worthless.
If #Mozilla wants to offer AI services or collect and use their users data, this should be a separate opt-in ToS in my opinion, not the terms of the base application.
But TBH #Mozilla is doing too much dumb management decisions these days, so I'm considering to stop recommending it. (colorways, firing #rust and #servo teams, ads for temu and so on)
@neil Also agree, I don't think they plan to sale everyone data (atleast not so blatantly), have exclusive rights to any material you upload via Firefox or ban adult content.
Any of that would kill them over night.
OK e-mailed legal-notices@mozilla.com
(Note it is a lot more than this one clause where they expand their claimed right to spy on you, and i encourage your e-mails to reflect this where i did not. See Sarah Jamie Lewis' thread, social.coop/@sarahjamielewis@m… )
Anyway what i wrote, before i read that:
Firefox does not have any right to information i enter into the URL address bar or forms on websites
My feedback and suggestion here, absolutely you can use for free.
Which is that this clause is wildly unacceptable, and you need to make very clear that you do not and will not ever spy on people while they browse:
"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."
Sounds like a ridiculously overbroad claim so that you can stick "AI" down our throats and advertisements, but with this start you will hand over our private data to a fascist government, too.
And again, that sentence is making a claim to data that was never intended to be shared with Mozilla, that is and must remain solely the private personal communication between the person using Firefox and the website being visited.
@TamsynUlthara And what do I use on Android? Which is not Chrome based....
Damn, Europe really needs a European browser and engine.
@leeloo @copiesofcopies They ARE a cloud service, including but not limited to Firefox Sync, the ReadItLater watchamathing (Pocket), Firefox Relay and a VPN.
Still my browser.
@TruelyNotARobot I'm not a lawyer but I don't see how. You were never presented with these conditions. If Mozilla thinks that they can say "this is available under a free software license but oh there's this other website where we take away your rights that you were never notified about" that's uhhhhh not the way it works.
@copiesofcopies Yeah, that seems more correct.
The last line is pretty telling "..as you indicate with your use of Firefox".
If you didn't indicate that you wanted Firefox to take your artwork then Mozilla doesn't get that permission. They only get the permissions to do what you "indicate".
The other important part is "When you upload or input information through Firefox"
Basically it's just saying that if you indicate that you want to upload a photo to x website, by for example dragging an image into Firefox, then you give Firefox permission to send it to that website you are on.
To rephrase, when you upload through Firefox, you give Firefox the permission to do what you indicated, i.e. uploading.
The true meaning of the quote seem to have blown over @mttaggart 's head like a helium balloon.
@rspfau @copiesofcopies The lawsuit environment in USA is quite insane. People file lawsuits over any small thing.
And lawsuits are expensive. Often it just turns into a battle of attrition by money.
A terms of use document is cheap way to stand stronger in those battles.
Its not something that is required, but one day you might wish your company had one.
Just go have a look at the page, its mostly just textbook things like "You Are Responsible for the Consequences of Your Use of Firefox",
if you eat Firefox you are responsible for your tummy-ache
mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/…
What makes me chuckle (more like
) is the tone deafness -- they dropped this lil update the week after reminding everyone that their priorities are #AI and ("privacy preserving" LOL) #advertisements...
