Back in 2022, Walled Culture wrote about a legal case involving ad blockers. These are hugely popular programs: according to recent statistics, around one billion people use ad blockers when they are online. That’s a testament to the importance many people attach to being in control of their browser experience, and to a wide dislike of the ads they are forced to view. The 2022 case concerned […]

Are you a true open source contributor?
Do you know that you can do a lot by simply speaking into a microphone in any language you know?

These are just two of the languages I participate in. If you go at it for an hour there's a lot that you can contribute

With my #Mozilla Foundation #CommonVoice hat on, I'm delighted to be speaking in just under a fortnight at @pyconau about the #MozillaDataCollective, a new platform initiative that puts you in control of your #datasets.

Better #AI requires better #data - and better data requires collective, collaborative, co-created approaches: the Mozilla Data Collective.

"Ryan Sipes told the audience during his keynote ... that the Thunderbird mail client 'probably shouldn't still be alive'. Thunderbird, however, is not only alive—it is arguably in better shape than ever before. According to Sipes, the project's turnaround is a result of governance, storytelling, and learning to be comfortable asking users for money."

I was really hopeful about #Ecosia but then they, like #Mozilla, turned to #LLM and put a (really poorly implemented) AI Chat feature in their product. 😬

For a business whose goal is to better the environment and plant trees, I would have thought their ethos would be anti-AI. 🤔

Anyway, now they're collaborating with #Qwant to make a new European-based search index called #Staan to power AI products.
