We're thrilled to announce our new project:
https://docs.coop/
Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/), we are offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.
Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🥖 (DINUM) and German 🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.

If you dislike the state of Firefox, please recognize that part of the way it got there was by becoming dependent on the gravy train from Google.
It will still be years before it’s usable, but one thing you could consider is to help fund https://servo.org — it’s a fully independent rendering engine with some really great next-generation tech that is going to make the web a more secure, and a very large % of its contributor base comes from a worker cooperative’s members who happen to be some of the finest minds in browser technology.
The project is flourishing, and you can help it continue to chug along and even accelerate. There’s no telling if it’ll definitely become a full alternative to the current triad of chrome/safari/firefox, but we won’t find out if we don’t try. The future is what we make it.

Firefox changed its ToS recently, and it’s really bad. It’s disappointing to see Linux distros still setting Firefox as the default browser when security and privacy should be top priorities.

@tty sometimes i was forced to do this on KaiOS with the browser only having one page at a time only.
it was mostly OK (i used bookmarks for some things) except one web app i couldn't log into because it used an email confirmation and going to webmail made the web app lose its state
daily reading project starting today with the Foreword - preface and first section "Deity and Divinity"
