Am I a bad person if I use non-free software? What ++ example should I set as a free software activist or advocate? How does ++ that relate to responsibilities of developers and distributors? ++ ++ This is a talk about practical ethics and ideals. It is personal, ++ drawing upon my experiences and evolution over the past fifteen ++ years. It contains some awkward discussions that free software ++ activists like to avoid, and hopes to guide those seeking to adopt ++ more free software ideals, but fear they may not be able to meet such ++ high standards. It's a talk about evolution and growth. ++ ++ But complacency in the face of conflict can also dilute our ++ ideals. So this is also a talk about balancing ideals in the context ++ of one's own unique circumstances, while at the same time preserving a ++ strong message about software freedom. +event_link: https://libreplanet.org/2021 + id: sapsf title: The Surreptitious Assault on Privacy, Security, and Freedom location: LibrePlanet 2017 |
