I would agree with most people. I think drinking fountains, public toilets, shelters and just general shops (edit:with opening hours a bonus) are the most useful. Buses is also pretty cool info to have directly there. You can check Streetcomplete to diversify your contributions with ease as well, including adding wheelchair accessibility.

You could also take photos for [email protected] too? Then others can use your photos to add more stuff or just see the photos of your area.

Article doesn’t seem to say how many shares they will keep just how many they are selling. Are they keeping clear control?

Firefox makes up about 90 percent of Mozilla’s revenue, according to Muhlheim, the finance chief for the organization’s for-profit arm — which in turn helps fund the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. About 85 percent of that revenue comes from its deal with Google, he added.

I fail to understand how they haven’t figured out a way out of this seems to me they’re using all the money they from Google as if there is no tomorrow… Why on earth also if Firefox is so clearly their main product does it seem to not always be at the centre of their attention? I get doing other products but they seem to not be going anywhere. Honestly, to a layman like me it seems they’ve been doing the same stuff as Google without having the massive ad revenue but with the search revenue. Where did the Firefox OS go ? They never followed through like Google did with their Pixels for example. Why?

On cross-examination by the DOJ, Muhlheim conceded that it would be preferable not to rely on one customer for the vast majority of its revenue, regardless of the court’s ruling in this case. And, he agreed, another browser company, Opera, has already managed to make more money from browser ads than it does from search deals. But while that may be a potential pathway to diversifying Firefox’s revenue, he added, scaling up such a business at Firefox may look different, in part because of the privacy-preserving approach it takes to products.

I don’t love that response. What are Opera’s ads like? There are two reasons I use Firefox : opensource and ad blocking… I honestly think Firefox should offer more branded services like their Pocket, VPN or email with thunderbird, why not even a cloud in a continuation of their Firefox Send service? Or just try to ask for donations from time to time with some transparency about the budget… I’d personally love to better understand why there is a corporation and a foundation.

How does Mozilla get money apart from the Google search deal? Are there no other search engines willing to pay to be the (even country specific) default? Also if Google sell Chrome wouldn’t that mean they’d be able to keep the deal? In a sense they are no longer the monopoly?

Or maybe the Department of Education could provide to young people an email adress for free. (Snail) mail has never been free afterall (you pay for stamps) so not having a free government service would be new.

As others have said Nextcloud has a calendar, viewable via the webam or thubderbird (can also use the tasks) and any floss calendar app really on android or even the one installed by default probably.

There are a few orgs that permit creating an account so you can avoid selfhosting. Some like from Framasoft are donation funded.

It is not new that media companies get bought…

It’s also a lie as the EU announced retaliatary tariffs and now it’s back to 10%. The retaliatary tariffs have been suspended however.

They are thinking of having the user choose the juridiction. So far their testing is hosted in the EU apparently.

As written in the article

Moz doesn’t contribute financially to Thunderbird’s development, according to Sipes, and whatever revenue the Thunderbird team generates will go straight into furthering its work.

In the article it says they will have no ads and no data mining. The user will pay for the service.

It’s also owned by Bolloré the French wannabe Musk.

I suppose if it’s a big enough channel a lot of their viewers might follow and there’s nothing stopping putting Affiliated links in the description. No ads on YouTube so need to have a patron or liberapay or whatever.

I have a kobo from 2016 that still works alright. I kind of want to buy a newer model but it’s not broken yet so…

There was the 2008 crash they survived?

There is this showcased at the end of the article.

You’re welcome 😊

Good point not sure. There must be some exceptions because I’m certain there are citizenship requirements in France for some jobs.

I know there’s an app built by a French antipolice group. It’s sends the video to their server for safekeeping. Can’t remember what it’s called.

Openstreetmap also has some forums. The main one being community.openstreetmap.org
