Can I donate to FSFE and be confident that FSFE will work towards their stated goal to "empower users to control technology" without any blindspot for Google?

I would like to think that this is because FSFE somehow decided to free itself from Google, but I don't know, maybe Google's huge donation and the influence it brings will be coming back soon.

Does it mean anything that Google is no longer listed as a donor?

I've been hesitating about donating to #FSFE because the last few years, including 2022, FSFE got more than 10% of their funding from Google. I'll assume for the moment that I don't need to explain why that's bad. Let me know if you want me to explain that.

Now, looking at the FSFE donors page for the last 12 months, Google is not listed: https://fsfe.org/donate/thankgnus.en.html

It's only a proposal at this point, they estimate 2 years of development time before it can start to be used, if politicians decide to implement the proposal.

What do you think?

Some important and good things about the proposal:

(1) It is based on open standards, unlike the current dominant eID in Sweden which is called #BankID which is closed and owned by the banks.

(2) Looks like the proposed solution will allow free and open source client software, you will no longer be forced to use Big Tech closed operating systems to use eID.

The Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) published its proposal for a government-issued electronic identification (eID) solution a few days ago. It is supposed to be in line with upcoming EU #eidas changes.

I read it and posted some comments to the mailing list for the @dfri project about free and open e-ID here: https://mailman.dfri.se/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/eleg-projekt@lists.dfri.se/message/QHVJM2CWNWRNJGNHLGI27EYQHIT5ANJD/

Jag är med i ett inslag i SR (ca 90 sekunder) om lagändringen som gör att anonyma kontantkort kommer att försvinna:

Enjoying this Christmas tree next to the library close to where I live.

I imagine how the person who put this up was thinking. "Okay let's see, what did they say the job was? Make sure it does not fall over... ok, concrete blocks in place, check. Decorate with lights, they did not say how much, one side should be enough... check. All done. let's go home!"

Good job, we need more of this attitude around Christmas. Less stress, more chill. 🙂
