MDN can now automatically lie to people seeking technical information
It is now maintained by this club, I think: https://openwebdocs.org

The PostgreSQL Documentation and the Limitations of Community
Open Web Docs is a potential model to draw inspiration from regarding funding: https://openwebdocs.org
Presumably, PostgreSQL has leaders who are responsible for steering the ship. If the project is going to succeed long-term, those leaders have to find ways to keep their contributors happy while also creating an organizational structure that leads to good docs.
Sorry if any of my comments came off naive or obtuse when it comes to open source dynamics. But the reality is that you need good docs, and I'm just trying to give an honest assessment from my experience of the conditions that lead to good docs.

June contributing.today: on supporting open source projects with monies
Estelle and the other folks working on Open Web Docs are on the receiving end of sponsorship, and she says she personally has a hard time asking for money. Or to reimburse things like a Grammarly subscription. "Will people get upset if the team meets up in person and uses sponsorship to cover air fare (which, to be clear, OWD didn't do)?"

MDN Plus
> Elsewhere in this thread is a link to a separate organization called "OpenWebDocs," which appears to be an outside consortium that contributes to MDN.
Yes, that's what Open Web Docs is. It's funded by individual and corporate contributions, through https://opencollective.com/open-web-docs/. The money goes to pay writers (currently 2 full time, but we are hiring 2 more) to create and maintain independent open web documentation ("open" in the sense of accessible to everyone, "independent" in the sense that it shouldn't represent any one company's view). Currently our work is pretty much entirely focused on MDN, although that's not necessarily going to be the only thing we ever work on. Our 2021 high-level goals: https://github.com/openwebdocs/project/blob/main/2021-goals.... .

Introducing Open Web Docs!
Open Web Docs long term roadmap will be published soon. However, the initial goals are focused on supporting MDN's recent infrastructure transition and contributing to core web technology documentation, browser compatibility data, and JavaScript documentation on MDN Web Docs.

Ask HN: Is there a good place to get recommended privacy settings for apps?
I really like the website https://tosdr.org to find out a privacy grade for sites and apps. Is there anything similar that tells you how to change settings for these various services to improve privacy but minimally limit functionality, or at least tells you what functionality will be limited with the setup?

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Dear writers: Delete your Findaway Voices account NOW
Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.
https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.
Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

https://tosdr.org is good for that, why don't Mozilla just contribute to an existing project

[READ BODY TEXT BEFORE VOTING] Thoughts regarding online tracking?
I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo That Tracks Terms of Service Changes
I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org
It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
- Ask HN: Why did Microsoft, Meta, and PayPal update their ToS today?
What are some alternatives?
