#Mozilla, why are you playing along with Google's devious game and #betraying the #principles of #free #software?

Nonetheless, the appearance of ‘device attestation’ in Firefox’s mobile codebase has raised eyebrows in the #FOSS #community, including from #mobile projects based on the #Android Open Source Project (AOSP) codebase, like #LineageOS and #GrapheneOS, which omit Play services.

Given that Firefox’s entire USP on Android is that it’s an open-source, privacy-respecting alternative for those avoiding #Google (and open-source, privacy-conscious users often run non-stock Android) it’s a move that, short of further explanation, rubs some the wrong way.

‘BusPatrol’ Put #AI #Cameras in Tens of Thousands of #School #Buses. Now They Want to Give #Cops #Access

#BusPatrol is aware of the #controversy around #ALPR cameras, and particularly of the concern that #ICE may gain access to the data, according to the BusPatrol documents ...

The danger here, aside from the misuse of data, is above all that children grow up with this and come to see it as normal to be constantly monitored by cameras. A society under constant surveillance develops differently. It is more conformist, less critical, and very keen on blending into the crowd unnoticed and not standing out. This is exactly what the ruling elite wants: a society that silently endures everything because it fears #repression through the cameras.

‚Auf etlichen Videos in den sozialen Medien sind Frauen zu sehen, die ohne ihr Einverständnis in intimen Momenten gefilmt werden. Der Skandal um die sogenannten Smart Glasses wirft die Frage auf, wo Frauen sich überhaupt noch sicher fühlen können. Und er zeigt, wie weit die Massenüberwachung durch große Tech-Monopole bereits vorangeschritten ist…..‘

[quote] "The legal instrument protecting your rights as a user of Linux is less important than the commercial ecosystem built on top of it. And that commercial ecosystem as we have established is controlled by the same corporations paying a half a million dollars a year for board seats at the Linux Foundation. ... The message ... enforce the GPL, lose your friends ... violate it openly ... get a seat on the board ... The GPL is not dead but its enforcement mechanism has been systematically dismantled by the very organization that claims to steward it."

Linux Foundation has squelched the voice of the lay contributors and now corporations control the decision-making process.

Now that your contributions to GPL'd free software have created mega-millionaires and billionaires ... those same rich fat cats that profited from your free code now want to keep you from sharing your own free code or profiting from it while they violate the software license to cash in. They promote ideology campaigns employing useful idiots and ideological parrots to insulate themselves from criticism and hold themselves above reproach from the people they are exploiting to build their tech empire. The Linux Foundation has joined the empire.

I have said before that a new alternative operating system is required if software freedom and privacy are to survive. Linux is not the resistance against the system. Linux is the system.

"I warned you years ago that Windows 11 was the beginning of the end. Today, the door is officially closing on general-purpose computing. In this 24-minute manifesto, I am moving past the "ripping on Rust" memes to address a documented existential threat to your hardware. Between the $12.5M Big Tech "security" grants and the US government's memory-safety mandates, we are witnessing a coordinated execution of legacy systems."
