One of the myths that comes up again and again in FOSS is "It's run by a non-profit, it's safe, the corporate world cannot take it over".
Mozilla shows how incorrect this assumption is: mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewâŠ
Non-profits can be captured by corporations very easily:
1. Evil corporation donates massive amount of money to a non-profit, far more than it got from individuals, grants etc.
2. Non-profit uses the massive donation to greatly extend its features and pay itself much bigger salaries
3. Non-profit can no longer function without corporate donations
4. Non-profit captured, does whatever corporation wants

Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.
We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.
Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.
We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/
Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!
This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.
