Bug report asking them to undo it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2046154

The report seems interesting if you want to have a look: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol40/0996/2026/en/ Although when I skimmed it, it felt a little one-sided to me. A little overly focused on “average home user and impact on them” and less so other impacts.

For example, I found little on the wider impacts on art and personal expression in a society, like explored here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/20/ai-art-concerns-originality-connection

Although I suppose perhaps that angle isn’t concrete enough for human rights violations, I don’t know. Or perhaps I just missed it. It’s a fairly long report.

I suppose that could be one possible explanation. Let’s hope that this is why. However, the previous comments do make me worry.

I guess prepare for potential kernel rot: https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/

My condolences.

Github seems to be down a lot, too, although perhaps not their pages part. Perhaps you could try to have just the pages in some other place?

I like that I can read this as you stating you use Atlassian yet hate Gitlab, and the statement still works either way 😅

That makes sense, since Gitlab seems to be trying to challenge Atlassian. In who manages to make worse software…

Perhaps Forgejo will at some point change into a hard fork. That would be kind of nice…

The EU also seems to be trying to copy the UK Online Safety Act: https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/eudi-wallet/wallet-development-documentation-public/-/work_items/13

Perhaps some higher up at the college wanted the speech to be pro AI, and that’s the only speaker they found… (I have no idea if that’s what happened, but it would be funny if that was why.)

any focused ideas on how this is triggered?

Be careful of what you say in front our Smart TV, warns Samsung

The only relatively safe way to avoid it is to not use any app unless it’s from f-droid or similar places, to use a degoogled phone, to use an adblocker for all websites, to use an end-to-end messenger for private conversations and not social media, to use federated non-profit social media if you ever use any at all, to use a paid email provider that doesn’t make money of your data as primary income, and to use an actually private web search (not Bing, not Google).

It’s a shame that it requires so much knowledge and effort for a bare minimum of privacy.

Oh I know they don’t, they just make it easier for you not to put any data into them.

If I had to guess, too many government agencies are probably bought by big tech. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let that neglect of privacy fly at such a scale. I suppose the question is when people will get sick enough of it that it results in a change.
