To an increasingly authoritarian regime, the opportunity to shape how models describe the world may be too good to pass up on.

Mullvad is a political company fighting for free speech, free information and privacy, with two equal co-founders, co-owners and co-CEOs who fundamentally disagree on many issues. Daniel's donation to a political party is private and not part of Mullvad's mission. We protect the right to express and access views we disagree with. We welcome anyone sharing these core values, whatever their other opinions. We are happy to refund others who don't, where we can.
Leadership _leads_. His statements and use of funds, especially when acquired from ownership of a company, directly reflect the mission statement and intents of said company.
This is one of those “practice unquestionable ethics” moments leadership books talk about.

Heads up.
Have you seen that new chat feature on YouTube? I just discovered if you hit "Share Link" and send someone a YouTube video, it will now be considered an invite to chat as well. Meaning the tracker link attached to the video now links to you directly. To turn this off when hitting share, go to the "sending as person" drop down and click "change in settings". That will take you to the privacy settings where you can toggle it off.
I had thought my brother had initiated this to try the feature. Turns out it's an on-by-default setting that links directly back to your username (or real name depending on your Google account settings) when you share a link outside YouTube.
It's now more important than ever to remove the tracking markers from links if you haven't been doing it before.
Malgré nos connaissances scientifiques, la #France traite la #canicule comme un risque individuel (boire, faire des pauses) plutôt que comme le symptôme d'un modèle économique inadapté au climat du siècle. Les financements d'adaptation sont, selon le Haut Conseil pour le #climat « très insuffisants ». Pendant ce temps, des travailleurs meurent chaque été dans le BTP et l'agriculture.
La canicule révèle une contradiction historique : le #travail devait améliorer les conditions d'existence ; il a contribué à dégrader le climat qui rend ce même travail possible... et rend l'existence pénible.

In February 2023, three months into our relationship, Pfizer decided to break up with me. The company did this by way of two, no-nonsense letters. Pfizer tried to let me down gently. We are “temporarily paus[ing] all participant visits” they said initially. But we both could tell the end was near. “Unfortunately,” said the second letter, sent on the heels of the first, “your participation in the study will need to end early.”
And that was it. After two shots, some 3,000 p

@eliasp @lisamelton @bigolewannabe That long ago already…? Man I remember the excitement on @slashdot back when this was announced. Big vendors adopting open source was not yet common, at all. It was a big deal.

@eliasp I've spoken and written about this numerous times. And the complete answer is too long for a toot.
The TL;DR is that Mozilla code (at the time) was bloated and slow. Licensing Microsoft Internet Explorer wasn't politically viable. Licensing other browsers wasn't feasible or the technology sucked for various reasons, just like Explorer.
It was truly a choice between basing our effort on KHTML and KJS or writing a browser from scratch. And I knew better than to attempt the latter.
We even have a couple of examples. The clean room browser engines that have been popping up like Arc and Servo have been going for years and years and aren't fully compliant engines yet. Standards compat is hard to catch up to esp since they're moving forward at the same time.
