Hello, A few months ago, the French government proposed a new law, putting the free internet in peril. But the global Mozilla community showed its power and stepped up to stop it. In a moment, we’ll share good news on our fight against this dangerous censorship, as well as next steps you can take to help. But first, here’s some context about what’s happening.
Part of the SREN bill (Projet de loi visant à sécuriser et réguler I’espace numérique’) as proposed originally would have given the government the power to censor what you can and cannot see online.
Immediately, the Mozilla community and our allies fought back. More than 80,000 supporters signed our petition and thousands of you donated to power this campaign.
And we have good news: a revised version was adopted in the French National Assembly, removing the browser-level blocking that was part of the original draft.
The amended bill is a huge improvement. And we can proudly say: This success can be credited to the Mozilla community and our allies fighting back, and the tireless advocacy work we have done for the last months.
While the National Assembly listened to the voices of the Mozilla community (Mozilla’s work was even mentioned several times during the debate!), there are several more formal steps in the legislative process.
Next up is discussion in a commission mixte paritaire (CMP): the text will be negotiated by a mix of lawmakers from the government, the National Assembly, and the Senate, in order to find a compromise.
And even if this text survives the CMP, it still won’t be quite over. The technical details will be laid out in an implementing decree.
##We need to make sure this version makes it through this next stage unchanged.
We must keep up the pressure now to make sure no lawmakers bargain and sneak browser-level blocking back into the bill - it would have disastrous implications for browsers like Firefox, not just in France, by handing over censorship tools to less democratic countries.
What you can do now: Thank you for being part of this fight. If you can afford it, please consider making a donation today to bring this campaign over the finish line. We’re at a crucial point and your contribution could tip the scale by allowing us to:
continue to connect lawmakers with tech and policy experts to show what browser-level blocking would mean for the future of the internet; and
prepare for a potential last minute public advertising campaign in order to mobilise more people and apply pressure on decision-makers in the Senate and government in key moments.
after a grueling 4 years of school and a bit of time at a fintech company ive lost almost all the enjoyment i once had for computers in high school. what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed....
Cybersec is so insanely broad you could do a different job every five years for the rest of your career. Or one job for 20 years like me, despite being easily bored, because every new project is different and there’s always new technologies to learn. And you probably have job security for a while yet especially if you are good. For most roles, I doubt AI will replace a decent cybersec person for several years, though it may be a force multiplier.
I haven’t done sysadmin in a long time and the field has had more than a few major paradigm shifts: from bare metal to virtual, virtual to container, devops, software defined everything and host as cattle not pets.
Back in the day it was a mix of projects and schedules and emergencies. In other words every day was different and a bit unpredictable. It may be more boring with modern approaches and technologies to significantly improve uptime.
Hm. This seems to belong in the other meme post about face timing your pot on the stove, not this one which is showing how a frog watch is superior to a Rolex. Or my client has a really weird bug.
This guy is a fucking insane Christofacist piece of shit. Seriously, anyone who thinks mythology from the bronze age is a better source than hundreds of years of scientific discovery is deluding themselves. Our country is so fucked.
Side note: Machine guns shoot many bullets with a single trigger pull and have more stringent laws than other guns that require a trigger pull per shot.
I tend to accumulate seemingly random know-how and info but it is all easily traced back to interests and projects. (Assuming i can remember where I learned it …)

Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?...
You’d think 24 hour watches would be more common than they are especially among European watches.
My kid had the hardest time reading a 12 hour clock. I think am/pm is too abstract for young kids. 24 hour makes more intuitive sense. The number resets only at the end of the day.
I guess we could flip flop on stuff like that but the folks screwed over during the interim are going to have a really bad time.
Of course that’s also assuming some Democrats aren’t convinced (💰) to go along and we never get these program back. And if we do then we lose them again when the Republicans manage to up their voter suppression & gerrymandering game.
