Relevant to !selfhosted because one of the projects getting funding cut is Let’s Encrypt.
Every day just gets worse doesn’t it.
Let’s put some numbers on all of this. The OTF’s total budget slowly raised from ~$10M in 2019 to a grand total of $40M in 2023, almost half of all allocated funds by Congress to promote Internet freedom globally.
That’s an incredibly tiny amount of money.
More recently, Congress had directed that - for both the fiscal years of 2024 and 2025 - the funding should be “not less than $43,500,000”, which guaranteed an income stream for 2025 too.
Looks like some spicy legal action will suck up a lot of those cuts…
I also like to measure in jetwing money … This is like half a jetwing.
I like to estimate by cost per congressperson, which is ~$7.5M/year. So the whole of OTF is about 3 congresspeople (and their staff), that sounds fair.
Why would he fund communism in the first place? (/s before you try to hit me with that downvote button).
Sorry, downvoted anyway.
Im not saying Zuck is good or a savior of choice, but now would be a good time for facebook investors to pressure him to eat that difference.
Not that he should, but hes been all in on Open Source* lately
