@wyatt also it seams as if ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de and https://mirror.accum.se/pub/ have dropped (?) #Firefox entirely...
- I guess #Mozilla pissed them off too much??
Or is my memory faulty and they never had it mirrored???
I mean the latter one was listed ages ago...

Rustで作られるレンダリングエンジン「Servo」が未来のウェブにとって重要な理由とは？ - GIGAZINE
https://gigazine.net/news/20250801-servo-undercover-web-browser-engine/
『もともと #Servo は、#Mozilla のモバイル向けレンダリングエンジンとして発表されたものでした。実際、2017年に登場した #Firefox QuantumにもServoの成果を取り込んだレンダリングエンジンが搭載されていました。しかし、Mozillaは2020年にServo開発チームを含む多くの従業員を解雇したため、Linux Foundationが引き継ぐこととなりました』
そうだったのね。

The theme this year is unlearning... Time to unlearn so much of the nonsense we see around us.
Go wild! But put it in before May 21st!
#Mozilla changed https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/default/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt to use 302 redirect:
< HTTP/2 302
< content-type: text/html
< date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 08:13:36 GMT
< location: https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/default/security/nss/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt
< access-control-allow-origin: *
< content-length: 0
This could lead to some failure to update the certificate data with tools that don't handle redirect correctly. These tools will fail to fetch the new certdata.txt now.
Mozilla repeatedly calls Firefox an independent browser in their defense of why Google should keep funding the development. Independent?

The way they are now basing the "use" of their services, including the product #Firefox, is going to be quite interesting to follow how they will and can maintain the path they are now pawing.
Are least I don't think their new changes should change anything about using their Open Source code to build our own things with.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 
Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.
Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.
This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.
Without further ado, THANK YOU to:
- @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
- @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
- @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
- @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
- @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
- #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
- #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
- @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
- #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
- @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
- @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
- #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
- #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
- @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
- @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
- @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
- @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
- #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
- @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
- #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
- @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
- @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
- #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
- #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
- @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
- @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
- @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
- The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!
Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.
I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

#Mammoth 
ってrいう #Mastodon 
クライアント、関連してサーバーも運営してたのが来年 1 月で運営・開発が停止することになっていたのか。
https://moth.social/@mammoth/113646776555177212
アプリとして For You フィードみたいな機能を独自に有していたりして、登場時はそれなりに注目されていた気もするし #VivaldiSocial 
にも このアイコンが絵文字として登録されていたので、有力なクライアント・サーバーの一つだと思っていたんだけど残念だな…
まあ For You フィード的な機能が欲しい人は #BlueSky とかに流れていっているだろうという気もするし、仕方ないのかなとも思う。
そういえば #Mammoth は #Mozilla が投資していたというニュースもあったんだけど

Good software is good software.
Firefox is open source, but it includes adware, spyware, and artificial intelligence (AI), while being owned by an ad company. Brave is open source, but it too includes adware, spyware, AI, plus cryptocurrency, while being owned by an ad company. Both of them call out like a lost child or puppy. There are viruses that are also free open source, but they too do not make the world a better place.
Free open-source does not guarantee nor mean something is automaticly better.
Vivaldi, is based on the free open source Chromium project, and while it is true that the GUI is closed source, it does not include AI or cryptocurrency, nor owned by an ad company, and only calls out to 1) check for updates and 2) report bugs.
Good software does not need to be free open source to be good. Nor does close software automatically make something bad.

#OSS は手段の一つ、というのは結構前から思って
英語圏を #Vivaldi 
でエゴサしてたりするとよく #OSS を推している人から二言目に「ただ Vivaldi は結局 OSS じゃないからさ（だめ）」とか「まずはソースコード公開してから出直してね」みたいな雰囲気のコメントがついていたりするんだけど、そこまで #OSS そのものをひとつの理想とかゴールだと考えるのはちょっと自分にはやり過ぎ感があって、もうちょっと「手段に近いもの」だと考えた方が、#OSS を作る人にも使う人にとってもよいのでは…と、今回の #WordPress のニュースなんかを追いながら考えてた。
#OSS にも良い面と悪い面があって、そのメリデメみたいな話は「Vivaldi がオープンソースでない理由」（下記）のなかでも触れられていて、Vivaldi は OSS とかなり近い理想を目指しながら OSS というものも一つの手段として評価しながらそれも大事にしつつ、今実現できる最大限の理想に向けて進んでいる感じが応援できるポイントでもあって。
https://vivaldi.com/ja/blog/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-source/
そう考えると、#OSS として存在し続けることの難しさとか、「理想像としての #OSS」みたいなものを実現させるのはむずかしいのかもしれない、ということを、今回の #WordPress の件とか、最近の #Mozilla 周りのニュースとかをみてもやもやと考えていると思うことではある。
ただ、そう考えていった先に何か新しい、より理想的で現実に実現し得る何かがあるとしたら、それは #OSS そのものを全否定するものではないと思うし、そうであってほしいと思う。
