@thomasfricke @signalapp @OpenTechFund @TheAtlantic Lucky OTF is popular with the US Congress because it is quite effective, a majority of both Democrats and Republicans support OTF. After the first attempt to shut down OTF in the first Trump administration, Congress changed the law to require the money to fund #FreeSoftware and to require security audits, as well as requiring that OTF specifically has money dedicated to it.
@thomasfricke @signalapp @OpenTechFund @TheAtlantic this whole case is a clear example for how the US Federal Gov works. Before #OTF, the money went to a proprietary software firm #UltraSurf, which also refused to do security audits. That firm has been paying #KatrinaSwett to lobby for them to get the money away from OTF. https://www.axios.com/2020/06/23/falun-gong-us-agency-global-media
@thomasfricke @signalapp @OpenTechFund @TheAtlantic The good news is that the #Trump administration had such a weak case, they just rescinded the grant termination once it came to court. The court also kept the case open, despite the Trump admin arguing it was moot, until they actually paid #OTF the money they were owed. Now OTF has been paid:

#Trump ha interrotto i fondi destinati all’Open Technology Fund, un ente che da oltre un decennio finanzia strumenti digitali per la libertà online.
Questi fondi rappresentano la quasi totalità del budget dell'#OTF e sono essenziali per il sostegno di numerosi progetti, tra cui #Let'sEncrypt, la rete di anonimizzazione #Tor e il negozio di applicazioni open-source #F-Droid, che l’anno scorso hanno ricevuto rispettivamente 800mila, 500mila e 396mila dollari.

Trumps Kürzungsrausch gefährdet für das Internet wichtige Open-Source-Projekte
Die neue US-Regierung entzieht dem Open Technology Fund die Mittel. Von diesem sind unter anderem Let’s Encrypt, Tor und F-Droid finanziell abhängig. Der OTF hat Klage eingereicht

Absurdity now has a logarithmic scale.
@signalapp has initially been funded by the @OpenTechFund
and is used by the #usgov to plan bombings in #jemen
#doge destroys the funding of the #otf while @TheAtlantic has been invited to this chat.

Kampf um US-Fördermittel für wichtige Open-Source-Projekte! Nach einem Trump-Dekret klagt der Open Technology Fund (OTF) für Tor, F-Droid & Let's Encrypt. Steht die Zukunft freier Software auf dem Spiel?

Und Gott sprach: "Lächle, es könnte schlimmer kommen."
Und er lächelte und es kam schlimmer:
Die US-Regierung unter #Trump hat Fördermittel für den Open Technology Fund (#OTF) blockiert.
Betroffen sind u.a. #LetsEncrypt, das #Tor-Netzwerk, #OpenVPN und F-Droid.
Der OTF klagt nun auf Freigabe der Mittel. Rund 650.000 $ fehlen allein für laufende Kosten im März.
Falls noch irgendjemand denkt, diese durchgeknallten Putschisten in den USA gingen einen nichts an: Die #Trump-Regierung streicht die #OTF Förderung von #OpenSource nahezu komplett.
Fazit: Wir brauchen in #Deutschland und #Europa eine stabile, dauerhafte und auskömmliche Förderung. Wir brauchen ein #Digitalministerium zur Koordination. JETZT.

US-Behörde stoppt Gelder für Let's Encrypt und Tor ‒ Open Tech Fund wehrt sich | heise online

Durch Trumps Kahlschlag, bricht ziemlich sicher der Open Technology Fund weg, der Open Source Projekte entwickelt und pflegt. Wie zum Beispiel.... den Signal Messenger.

REALLY enjoyed the new quarter-mile benchmark workout today. Since its so short, you get to do it twice!
Which sounds intimidating, but it means you can do it at a pace you know you can hold the whole time, and then you can do it again at a push. So my first time was at 7.5mph with a 1:58 finish time. The second time around I went 7.7 until 0.18 miles and then mashed the 10mph button for the rest of it. 1:39 finish time! :D
