If you are a US federal government employee (civilian, postal, military), you can designate the FSF as a beneficiary charity -- see https://u.fsf.org/2ra for more info. This year's giving period has been extended through 2/8, so you still have time to give!

  Company Tried to Patent My Work After a Job Interview
  
  from Patent Pandas
  
  Openly sharing your work brings more attention to it, which is good, right? The answer, for me though, is often “it’s complicated.” This is what happened when I went to visit a giant tech company, in hopes for collaboration, but later found that they tried to patent some of my research instead!

Google is modifying Chrome so that extensions won't be able to alter or block whatever the page contains. This is a further step towards making browsers serve businesses that use Web sites to snoop and manipulate rather than to serve users. https://u.fsf.org/2r6
