A voluntary "FOSS subscription"
...for open tools and services that are useful to me.
I'm doing this since summer 2024.
Each project gets paid at least 5€ per month.
Let's take the monthly recurring revenue model of MS365 as an example but fund projects, that won't sell your data
I believe in monthly payments so the projects have a stable budget to operate with.
The list includes now:
- KDE (desktop on two devices, 10€)
- Thunderbird
- 🛜 Signal
Joined today by:
- social.tchncs.de
So if you can, consider paying for the foss services you use
Thanks for hosting this platform @milan

"La privacidad no es secretismo, es tener el poder de revelarte selectivamente al mundo"
No se trata de ocultarse de todos, se trata de perfiles y hábitos de privacidad dependiendo del Modelo de Amenaza

selfh.stAs a child I was taught that it's rude to point my finger at someone. I wish people nowadays were taught that it's also rude to point their phone's camera at somebody's face, even if they're not taking a photo or filming (taking someone's picture or filming them without consent would be more than just rude).
I wish more people would be considerate enough to just tilt their phones a bit when using them in public.

On the sly, the UK government tried to force a backdoor into the firewall that protects your privacy. We made the hearing public.

ALERT for Bluesky Bridge Users
If you are using a Bluesky bridge on Mastodon, DO NOT TAG Mastodon accounts in your posts without prior informed consent from this person.
This could end up showing a preview of this person's profile picture and bio on Bluesky without their consent.
Additionally, be careful about how the upcoming Quote Post feature could behave with Bluesky bridges.
Some of us don't want our information shared with commercial platforms like Bluesky, and have not consented to this bridge.
This practice can even endanger some Fediverse users.
If you have chosen to share your
own data with commercial platforms, make sure you leave the same choice to others.
This is important.

If you are enabling an AI feature scanning all your emails, consider this will also scan the emails people have sent you. This information could include personal or otherwise legally protected information.
If this data leaks later (as it regularly happens with these systems), this could mean severe legal consequences for you down the road.
YOU are responsible for protecting the data of others under your custody.
This includes the messages and emails others send to you.
WeTransfer changed its terms to allow using your files to train AI. After users protested, they softened the language. But the rights they claim are still broad.
At @xwiki we believe privacy should be built in, not patched after backlash. Your content should stay yours.
Open tools like @CryptPad , @nextcloud and OnionShare put you in control.
