Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] How to Criticize with Kindness
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Cc: fflorin(a)wikimedia.org
Hello all,
I had a discussion with Fabrice about how a culture of Kindness and Fabrice
also made a submission for Wikimania about it:
https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/A_Culture_of_Kindness
In the past years I notice very much how easy discussions can go in the
wrong direction as all the facial expressions and intonation are lost when
users write a message on a talk page. Many many times this goes wrong, and
users have a different interpretation of what someone else said what causes
a fight on the wiki. If users are smart they find out that in fact the
difference between them is very small with (usually) only a very slight
difference in focus, but in general they agree with each other, but they
don't realize that on the moment of the discussion. (If users with good
will aren't that smart to discover that, such can grow out to a fighting
situation for many years.) If I estimate I would say at least 50% of all
troubled discussions are causes by miscommunication as the result of words
being read differently as result of missing facial expressions and
intonation what most people are used to have in the communication with
people around them.
If certain users are deaf, autistic or dyslectic, or have such background,
this is even worsened.
For some years I say that if I can follow a training to improve textual
communication to better understand how things are perceived, I really like
to follow such training. As I don't know of any, I started to figure out
and collect what communication mistakes are made what cause troubles
between users with the intention of creating a guide for users, to let them
understand why some communication gives worse results.
Romaine

Resumindo... DRM "tenta" proteger o lucro de Hollywood as custas da nossa
liberdade de compartilhar. É mais uma daquelas coisas que quer desinventam
a Internet.
E agora o navegador que é/era símbolo da luta contra o monopólio da
distribuição cultural e da liberdade na internet, entrou nessa também.
Não podemos deixar isso passar!

Subject: FSF condemns partnership between Mozilla and Adobe to support
Digital Restrictions Management
To: "Raylton P. Sousa" <raylton.sousa(a)gmail.com>
*You can read this post online at https://u.fsf.org/xk

FSF condemns partnership between Mozilla and Adobe to support Digital
Restrictions Management
BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA — Wednesday, May 14th, 2014 — In response to
Mozilla's announcement that it is reluctantly adopting DRM in its Firefox
Web browser, Free Software Foundation executive director John Sullivan made
the following statement:
"Only a week after the International Day Against
DRM<https://defectivebydesign.org/dayagainstdrm/>,
Mozilla has announced that it will partner with proprietary software
company Adobe to implement support for Web-based Digital Restrictions
Management<https://defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm_digital_restrictions_management>(DRM)
in its Firefox browser, using Encrypted Media Extensions (EME).
The Free Software Foundation is deeply disappointed in Mozilla's
announcement. The decision compromises important principles in order to
alleviate misguided fears about loss of browser marketshare. It allies
Mozilla with a company hostile to the free software movement and to
Mozilla's own fundamental ideals.
Although Mozilla will not directly ship Adobe's proprietary DRM plugin, it
will, as an official feature, encourage Firefox users to install the plugin
from Adobe when presented with media that requests DRM. We agree with Cory
Doctorow that there is no meaningful distinction between 'installing DRM'
and 'installing code that installs DRM.'
We recognize that Mozilla is doing this reluctantly, and we trust these
words coming from Mozilla much more than we do when they come from
Microsoft or Amazon. At the same time, nearly everyone who implements DRM
says they are forced to do it, and this lack of accountability is how the
practice sustains itself. Mozilla's announcement today unfortunately puts
it -- in this regard -- in the same category as its proprietary competitors.
Unlike those proprietary competitors, Mozilla is going to great lengths to
reduce some of the specific harms of DRM by attempting to 'sandbox' the
plugin. But this approach cannot solve the fundamental ethical problems
with proprietary software, or the issues that inevitably arise when
proprietary software is
installed<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary.html>on a user's
computer.
In the announcement<https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/05/14/drm-and-the-challenge-of-serving-u…>,
Mitchell Baker asserts that Mozilla's hands were tied. But she then goes on
to actively praise Adobe's "value" and suggests that there is some kind of
necessary balance between DRM and user freedom.
There is nothing necessary about DRM, and to hear Mozilla praising Adobe --
the company who has been and continues to be a vicious opponent of the free
software movement and the free Web -- is shocking. With this partnership in
place, we worry about Mozilla's ability and willingness to criticize
Adobe's practices going forward.
We understand that Mozilla is afraid of losing users. Cory Doctorow points
out<http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/may/14/firefox-closed-source-drm…>that
they have produced no evidence to substantiate this fear or made any
effort to study the situation. More importantly, popularity is not an end
in itself. This is especially true for the Mozilla Foundation, a nonprofit
with an ethical mission. In the past, Mozilla has distinguished itself and
achieved success by protecting the freedom of its users and explaining the
importance of that freedom: including publishing Firefox's source code,
allowing others to make modifications to it, and sticking to Web standards
in the face of attempts to impose proprietary extensions.
Today's decision turns that calculus on its head, devoting Mozilla
resources to delivering users to Adobe and hostile media distributors. In
the process, Firefox is losing the identity which set it apart from its
proprietary competitors -- Internet Explorer and Chrome -- both of which
are implementing EME in an even worse fashion.
Undoubtedly, some number of users just want restricted media like Netflix
to work in Firefox, and they will be upset if it doesn't. This is
unsurprising, since the majority of the world is not yet familiar with the
ethical issues surrounding proprietary software. This debate was, and is, a
high-profile opportunity to introduce these concepts to users and ask them
to stand together in some tough decisions.
To see Mozilla compromise without making any public effort to rally users
against this supposed "forced choice" is doubly disappointing. They should
reverse this decision. But whether they do or do not, we call on them to
join us by devoting as many of their extensive resources to permanently
eliminating DRM as they are now devoting to supporting it. The FSF will
have more to say and do on this in the coming days. For now, users who are
concerned about this issue should:
-
*Write to Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal and let him know that you oppose DRM
<agal(a)mozilla.com>*. Mozilla made this decision in a misguided appeal to
its userbase; it needs to hear in clear and reasoned terms from the users
who feel this as a betrayal. Ask Mozilla what it is going to do to actually
solve the DRM problem that has created this false forced choice.
-
*Join our effort to stop EME approval
<https://defectivebydesign.org/no-drm-in-html5> at the W3C*. While
today's announcement makes it even more obvious that W3C rejection of EME
will not stop its implementation, it also makes it clear that W3C can
fearlessly reject EME to send a message that DRM is *not* a part of the
vision of a free Web.
-
*Use a version of Firefox without the EME code*: Since its source code
is available under a license allowing anyone to modify and redistribute it
under a different name, we expect versions without EME to be made
available, and you should use those instead. We will list them in the Free
Software Directory <https://directory.fsf.org>.
-
*Donate to support the work of the Free Software Foundation
<https://u.fsf.org/xi> and our Defective by Design <https://u.fsf.org/xh>
campaign to actually end DRM.* Until it's completely gone, Mozilla and
others will be constantly tempted to capitulate, and users will be
pressured to continue using some proprietary software. If not us, give to
another group fighting against digital restrictions."
