    Firefox AI, User Choice, and Partnering with Anthropic: Mozilla VP Interview

    AI is everywhere - including Firefox. But, unlike most services, Mozilla allows you to turn it off completely. In this interview, Henry sits down with Adam Fishman, Mozilla's VP of Product, to cover the philosophy behind Firefox's AI features, how Smart Window works, the controls that let you turn everything off, the importance of "having a seat at the table", and the surprising story of how Anthropic's Claude found several security vulnerabilities in Firefox. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Firefox: https://www.firefox.com• Mozilla AI: https://www.mozilla.ai• Mozilla Common Voice: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - INTRO (01:30) - EXPLAINING THE ROLE (04:03) - ADAM'S BACKGROUND (06:05) - SUNSETTING POCKET (10:12) - PHILOSOPHY ON AI (14:58) - AI FEATURES VS.

    Most people think their passwords are safe. Most people are wrong.

    Age Verification Laws and Free Software: A Legal Expert Tells Us What's Actually at Stake

    Age verification laws are spreading fast, but most coverage is either panic or dismissal, with very little clarity on what these laws actually say, who they apply to, or what they mean for free software. In this episode of Techlore Talks, Henry sits down with Jithendra Palepu, who has a legal background and Free Software Foundation Europe volunteer, to actually make sense of it. Age verification, age estimation, age gating, and self-declaration—why the difference matters enormously. We examine what California's AB 1628 actually requires, we discuss why MidnightBSD's decision to ban California users may have backfired against the very principles it was trying to protect, and so much more. If you've had strong reactions to these laws but struggled to fully back them up, this one's for you. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Free Software Foundation Europe: https://fsfe.org• FSFE — Youth Hacking for Freedom: https://fsfe.org/activities/yh4f/• Software Freedom Conservancy: https://sfconservancy.org• Keep Android Open: https://keepandroidopen.org/ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - INTRO (02:43) - DEFINING AGE VERIFICATION (05:15) - THE REAL CONCERN (09:59) - SELF-DECLARATION (13:14) - SERVICE VS.

    Organic Maps Co-Founder on Building a Privacy-First Google Maps Alternative | Alexander Borsuk

    Every time you open Google Maps, it knows where you are, what you searched, how long you stayed, and where you went next. Organic Maps collects none of that. In this interview, Henry sits down with Alexander Borsuk, co-founder of Organic Maps, to talk about what mainstream maps apps are collecting, how an entirely offline-first approach changes the privacy picture, and where Organic Maps is headed next, including live public transit and opt-in traffic data. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS• Organic Maps: https://organicmaps.app• Organic Maps GitHub: https://github.com/organicmaps• OpenStreetMap: https://openstreetmap.org• OsmAnd: https://osmand.net ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - INTRO (02:26) - ORGANIC MAPS TEAM & STRUCTURE (05:53) - MAP PRIVACY IMPLICATIONS (12:19) - BUSINESS SEARCHING (14:42) - CLOUD-FIRST VS.

    Telecom Insider Explains What Your Carrier Actually Sees (Cape Interview)

    Most people think turning off location services protects them from being tracked. It doesn't.

    How Ad Blockers Work, Why They Break, and the Future of Private Search (JP Schmetz Interview)

    Most ad blockers start by blocking everything—then you become tech support for friends & family when pages break.

    Why This Password Manager Requires a Private Key (Passbolt Interview)

    Most password managers use your master password as the encryption key—which means it can be phished and brute-forced. Passbolt uses a random private key instead.
