This reminds me of: #+BEGIN_QUOTE While sometimes corporations are on our side [...] [and] stand up for the public's interest [...] We should not have to rely on them. --- Edward Snowden, from [[https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/libreplanet-2016-the-last-lighthouse-3d51/]] #+END_QUOTE
Also, the same talk by Snowden and Gillmore talks a bit about Windows 10, where the operating system no longer works for the user, but "the user works" for it. #+BEGIN_QUOTE So instead of focusing on the company as such we should focus on the activity itself; we should think about "Free Software business activities", "Free Software business offers", and such. --- Matthias Kirschner, from [[https://k7r.eu/there-is-no-free-software-company-but/]] #+END_QUOTE I also put both citations in my recent talk about free/libre software during the Festival Latino-americano de Instalação de Software Livre (FLISoL) 2017 that I organized an edition locally in Balneário Camboriú. The report I made about this FLISoL 2017 Balneário Camboriú event can be read in: - English: [[https://identi.ca/adfeno/note/j5HYWTpxTDipupoGF34sDQ]]. - Brazilian Portuguese: [[https://identi.ca/adfeno/note/otgZcpE1TQCUdj_MAF2P-g]].
