The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.

Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.

What’s proton’s change of terms? I’m not privy.

[-] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 28 points 1 month ago

Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.

Proton is great though.

Too bad. Already paid for premium :(

Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don't expect anonymity, since it's email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
