RE: https://mastodon.social/@fsfe/116204774021832197 When reading the newsletter, I remember why I wrote https://blogs.fsfe.org/bernhard/2012/03/lets-end-all-free-software-projects-quickly/ &gt; A “project” is always temporary, in the narrow sense of the term.

&quot;For years, longtime #Firefox users have hung on while #Mozilla has pursued random directions, added advertiser-friendly features, and tried repeatedly to jump onto the AI bandwagon. But all those users want is a reliable, standards-compliant browser that gives them control over their web experience and protects their privacy. The result is that Firefox&#39;s usage has been declining for years. Mozilla now has a new CEO who has one last chance to turn things around. A refocused Fir...

&quot;human fracking The use of information technology to exploit human attention in ways that are net counterproductive to the persons thus exploited &quot; https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/human_fracking Just learned about the term, reading https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/jan/18/how-can-we-defend-ourselves-from-the-new-plague-of-human-fracking I like the idea.
