Education and the future of software freedom

The future of the right to repair and free software

As the political stakes of digital technology become increasingly apparent, it’s clear that an ethical approach to software use and development is more important than ever. 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. As we chart the course of the future of software, these examples shine light on the importance of educational institutions in the struggle for software freedom and the urgent need for broader community support to help sustain and encourage these precarious endeavors.

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.

Erin Rose Glass

Erin Rose Glass is a researcher and educator who has worked across universities, community colleges, academic libraries, and industry to promote technical literacy focused on ethics, user governance, and community values. She has co-founded a variety of community-driven ed tech initiatives that center ethics and user freedom, including Social Paper, a platform for socializing student writing funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and KNIT, a digital commons shared between UC San Diego and the San Diego Community College District. Her research publications focus on the intellectual and political stakes of digital infrastructure related to education and research, including her dissertation, Software of the Oppressed: Reprogramming the Invisible Discipline, which examines the history of ed tech in higher education through Paulo Freire’s philosophy of critical pedagogy. More recently, she led the Developer Education team at DigitalOcean before joining Chainguard, a start up focused on software supply chain security. She lives in California with her family and pack of fluffy creatures, big and small.

Dr. Elizabeth Chamberlain is Director of Sustainability at iFixit, which is the free repair manual for everything, with over 90,000 guides for fixing everything from tractors to toasters. Liz advocates for the Right to Repair around the world, supporting lawmakers, conducting repair research, and working to make sure environmental standards reflect repair best practices. Her writing on repair has been published in the Wall Street Journal, Wired, and The Atlantic.
