Not only the device manufacturers\, but also people around us are forcing us to use proprietary software. Within these circumstances\, we are trying to liberate every single device that we are using one by one. For one\, we can free personal devices by setting up a home server (which is obviously running on free/libre hardware)\, we can host personal Web sites and run online services by ourselves. In this session\, we will share our experiences on this process\, discuss the benefits and the costs of this lifestyle\, and share brief suggestions to attendees who want to liberate and self-host their tech. -LOCATION:Jupiter -DTSTART:20220319T142500Z -DTEND:20220319T151000Z -URL;VALUE=URI:https://libreplanet.org/2022/speakers/#5847 -DTSTAMP:20220318T182844Z -UID:6235079c1cc1c -END:VEVENT -BEGIN:VEVENT -SUMMARY:Federated social media in the age of social distancing -DESCRIPTION:Ángel García Menéndez - Social media has become a staple of daily life\, playing a mayor role in the lives of millions. However\, it is highly centralized around a reduced number of platforms that trap their users. Over the years\, alternative platforms\, specifications and protocols have emerged\, proposing a decentralized and federated approach to social media. Therefore\, for my bachelor’s degree thesis\, I decided to perform research on the matter. \, I will try to show the results of this research. A brief history on the rise\, fall\, and rise (?) of decentralized social media\, what the specialized literature says about user retention\, critical views on the matter\, and\, most importantly\, what the actual social media users have to say about it.\, If you are interested in platforms like Mastodon or GNU social\, the future of the Internet\, or just think that Facebook is plain evil\, this might just interest you. -LOCATION:Saturn -DTSTART:20220319T142500Z -DTEND:20220319T151000Z -URL;VALUE=URI:https://libreplanet.org/2022/speakers/#5728 -DTSTAMP:20220318T182844Z -UID:6235079c1cc8f -END:VEVENT -BEGIN:VEVENT -SUMMARY:The LibreVR Project -DESCRIPTION:Tobias Platen - Unfortunately many VR games are nonfree software that only runs on Windows or the Oculus Quest.

Not only do we need to keep reminding ourselves about our reasons for choosing free/libre software\, but also about being mindful when choosing the right hardware to run free software on. It's easy to run free software when we have complete control over our hardware\, but when the hardware limits or controls what software can be run on it\, it also eliminates our ability to choose free software.\, Unless we choose our hardware carefully\, we will slowly run out of places to run free software. Hence\, the necessity to build a "liberated home".\, When the software that defines and controls the device is proprietary\, it eliminates our ability to repair or extend the device and renders the hardware unusable for a free software user.\, This talk will detail methods\, practices\, advice and solutions for common technology requirements in a typical home.

While we wait for more adoption of IPv6\, there's huge demand for IPv4 addresses\, especially from public Web services and their hosts. Old address blocks have been resold for millions of dollars\, with prices approaching $50 per address.\, Standards from the 1980s reserved several hundred million addresses for "future use" and other purposes\, which are now going to waste. Reversing this is an involved task\; software and devices have often deliberately rejected any use of reserved addresses.\, The IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project is proposing software and standards changes to eventually make those reserved addresses usable. Some of our changes have been accepted in systems including GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

This can be a time-consuming process\; however\, William has a simple strategy to get others onboard faster without the need for lengthy explanations of freedom vs. proprietary comparisons. The solution: baby steps! Start small by recommending a person to use just one free software application instead of a proprietary application they are using currently. \, To do this properly\, you need to be able to effectively -- and quickly -- explain the what\, why\, and how to get them to use that free software application. Because we're taking a "baby steps" approach\, you may need to temporarily sacrifice other worthy goals\, such as anti-DRM advocacy. However\, once a person switches to the free software application\, you can then help them take more baby steps (e.g.\, through anti-DRM campaigning). -LOCATION:Saturn -DTSTART:20220320T192500Z -DTEND:20220320T201000Z -URL;VALUE=URI:https://libreplanet.org/2022/speakers/#5761 -DTSTAMP:20220318T182844Z -UID:6235079c1de1a -END:VEVENT -BEGIN:VEVENT -SUMMARY:Why we feel it is a liberation experience to take part to the Open Hardware PowerPC Notebook project -DESCRIPTION:Roberto Innocenti - The design of a PowerPC based notebook from scratch is quite a challenge for a group of hobbyists as we are.

Many\, many people have written and spoken at length on these issues and their implications and negative effects on users' freedom\, privacy\, and digital autonomy. With the advent of technologies like WebAssembly\, the modern day Web browser has effectively become an operating system of its own\, along with all the issues and complexities of operating systems and then some. Opening arbitrary websites with a typical Web browser amounts to downloading an executing [mostly nonfree] software on your machine. But is all of this complexity really necessary? Is all of this needed to achieve the web's original purpose\, an information system for relaying documents (and now media)? What if there was a way to do away with all of these complexities and go back to the basics?\, In this talk we will examine the Internet beyond the modern web\, some possibilities of what that might look like with concrete examples from protocols like Gopher from time immemorial\, and more recent experiments and reimaginations of it in today's world\, such as Gemini and Spartan.

While a number of organizations and advocates are doing important work to advance ethical forms of software practice\, we continue to miss one of the key sites where software habits and expectations are reinforced and normalized at scale\, that is\, institutions of education.\, In this talk\, I will discuss the inadvertent role higher education plays in teaching students to passively accept broad forms of digital surveillance and control through its use of popular educational technologies like learning management systems\, word processing software\, and test taking tools\, and how this submission leads to the broader mass helplessness in the face of current technological struggles. Starting with my chance encounter with free software as a humanities graduate student\, I will highlight a range of promising contemporary examples of experiments in higher education that push against exploitative trends in educational technology and expose students to the differentiating value and possibility of software freedom.

Yet most software users have no intention of ever modifying software\, let alone redistributing modified copies of their software. So why should these freedoms be of any concern to them? Over the past three decades\, the number of users has increased by several orders of magnitude. Proprietary software has become the predominant form of software\, to the extent that many ordinary users are surprised when they learn that a particular piece of software is free rather than proprietary. While this is a significant negative development\, the widespread adoption of software by less technically oriented people presents a unique opportunity: it means that nearly everyone in the developed world has a personal stake in the future of software freedom.\, This talk elaborates on the personal stake that ordinary users have in the future of free software\, and how the movement can express the importance of its ideas to those who are not particularly technically inclined.

Many people know about applications (like VLC or LibreOffice) or operating systems (like GNU/Linux or Android).\, But there is also software running before the operating system is even started (like BIOS\, UEFI\, the Management Engine or the PSP operating systems). They give the hardware manufacturers an enormous amount of control over the computers used by users\, even if users use FSF-approved GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel and Parabola. That control is for instance often used by hardware manufacturers to give companies the ability to remotely control users computers through features like AMT\, and that control is independent of the operating system running on the computer.

However\, most people use software today\, yet have complaints and fears about it. \, Instead of merely waiting around for the conversation to turn into a discussion about software usage or technology woes and fears\, it helps to come up with powerful questions that can turn conversations about anything into conversations about software and why it needs to have the four freedoms\, yet still keeping it engaging for all participants so that it is relevant. \, This discussion will be about taking topics people like to discuss and turning them into freedom respecting software topics by relating them whatever people are currently talking about using audience supplied examples.

What about ethical differences between your individual work vs the employer's overall business model? +LOCATION:Saturn +DTSTART:20230319T202000Z +DTEND:20230319T210500Z +URL:https://libreplanet.org/2023/speakers/#6208 +DTSTAMP:20230314T155340Z +UID:6410d0c4adaef +END:VEVENT +BEGIN:VEVENT +SUMMARY:The future of the right to repair and free software +DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Chamberlain - The fight for our Right to Repair our stuff has gained momentum\, but we can’t stop at parts and manuals — we need software access\, too. This is obvious to farmers with tractors locked down in “limp mode” at harvest time and iPhone repair shops that can’t dismiss annoying warnings. Manufacturers are hiding more and more repairs behind software locks. We’re fighting them every step of the way\, from state legislatures to GPL enforcement lawsuits. When repair professionals and device owners don’t have access to the software they need to complete a repair\, they’ve got slim choices: Admit defeat and send the thing to recycling? Hack your way through it? Join the fight for the Right to Repair?\, We’re winning that fight\, and manufacturers are on their back foot like never before. The first-ever digital repair bill passed in New York in December. Despite the ways the New York bill got narrowed by lobbyists\, we’re excited that it will require manufacturers to provide access to whatever software is necessary to complete a repair. Meanwhile\, the European Union has passed several repair reforms. France now requires manufacturers to post repair scores at the point of sale. And the Software Freedom Conservancy got a federal court to agree that individual consumers should have the right to the source code of anything operating under the GPL. Oh yeah\, and Sick Codes showed off Doom running on a Deere tractor at DefCon. Manufacturers with unjust repair practices\, watch out!\, Free software would give us the freedom to repair the brains of all our software-enabled devices. But without it\, we need research to keep manufacturers honest. Exploits like Sick Codes’s Deere jailbreak help call attention to the vulnerability of security through obscurity\, which is always the way manufacturers defend proprietary software and unjust repair practices. Other hacks\, like ChuxMan’s hack of his washing machine firmware\, point to places where manufacturers are letting consumers down.\, Free software and the Right to Repair movement share a heart: When you buy something\, you should own it. You should have the right to open it\, look inside it\, examine what makes it tick—and maybe even make it tick in a new way. +LOCATION:Jupiter +DTSTART:20230319T212000Z +DTEND:20230319T220500Z +URL:https://libreplanet.org/2023/speakers/#6315 +DTSTAMP:20230314T155340Z +UID:6410d0c4adbff +END:VEVENT +BEGIN:VEVENT +SUMMARY:Closing notes +DESCRIPTION:by FSF - Closing notes +LOCATION:Jupiter +DTSTART:20230319T220500Z +DTEND:20230319T222000Z +URL:https://libreplanet.org/2023/speakers/#6279 +DTSTAMP:20230314T155340Z +UID:6410d0c4adca4 +END:VEVENT +END:VCALENDAR diff --git a/2023/program/app.html b/2023/program/app.html index 6785b214..5b3611bf 100644 --- a/2023/program/app.html +++ b/2023/program/app.html @@ -6,9 +6,9 @@
