Put yourself in command! In this video, we show different ways how to open a terminal to interact with the command line. The instructions follow chapter three of the book "Introduction to the command line" which the FSF publishes. Happy hacking!

Birthday celebrations need (free!) music, so we asked Nathaniel Cohen, a musician, audio engineer, and sound artist from New York City, to teach us the basics of using SuperCollider. SuperCollider is a free audio synthesis that was developed by James McCartney in 1996, and is used by artists and researchers alike. Outside of kindly teaching folks how to use programs such as SuperCollider, Cohen's work explores sonic spaces and the emergence of technology through soundscapes and live performance. If you've never used SuperCollider, or you're looking for an activity to do with someone, check out Nathaniel's video and make some music!

We live in a world where AI is entering the decision-making in business and politics. Organizations that control the AI or control the training data have control over the decisions. We cannot leave the decision-making up to centralized AI companies. Otherwise, we will soon live in a world where a single company can direct the future of thousands of organizations and government agencies. The only way for society to fight back is through free software. Join me in exploring the world of AI and why it is necessary for society and investors wanting to make money to convince companies to use Free AI.

Nonfree software subjugates users. That's wrong enough, but such power is now used to wrong users even harder. The easier it is for third parties to impose on a user their choice of software version the more they can twiddle the software's behavior to best serve themselves and enshittify the user's computing. This holds for dominant (nonfree) operating systems for workstations and mobiles, with their mandatory updates, but users become even more vulnerable to enshittification by using web apps downloaded at every use from somebody else's servers, by doing their computing through somebody else's services, and by using remotely controlled and remotely mediated smartIoT devices and appliances. Even when using software that's not updated automatically on their own computers, users (and their upstream distributors) may be persuaded to adopt enshittif(ied/ying?) versions, including CPU microcode and firmware for system initialization and for peripheral devices. Is using free software enough to escape?

It is well known that Valve distributes non-free DRMed games via their Steam Platform, including many VR games. As a gamer who cares about freedom, I avoid those games. Since my computer is based on the FSF certified Talos II Mainboard and POWER9 CPU, I'm technically unable to install those non-free games and the Steam Client Software. Instead I go for Freedom-To-Play games, included in many GNU/Linux distributions. (in some cases even SteamOS without having to use Steam). I'll also improve existing "open source" games and make them truly freedom respecting. This does not mean that those games have to be gratis, I think of a way to enable users to pay for Freedom-To-Play games using Taler.

Your data are essential to your life, your agency, and your future. Come learn how to save, serve, and safely share your data at home with a smorgasbord of free software. I'll cover rapid setup and basic use of tools such as Traefik, Nextcloud, Wallabag, Jellyfin, and more. With these powerful and private services at your disposal, you can collaboratively edit documents in realtime online, stream music and video, and future-proof your digital assets.

This talk pairs well with a soon-to-be released book of the same topic and title. Both the book and talk are about self-hosting free software, were created with free software, and are free software themselves.

In non-web applications, accessibility has long been confined to only a handful of the largest, most well-resourced UI toolkits, leaving a large proportion of free software inaccessible to disabled people. AccessKit aims to solve this problem by providing an accessibility abstraction and glue layer that can be reused by many toolkits across programming languages. Our aim is to do for accessibility what libraries such as SDL have done for graphics, input, and windowing. This talk will cover what we've accomplished so far, what's next, and how the community can help.

Presented by: Matt Campbell

Matt is a visually impaired developer who has been working in accessibility for over 20 years. He spent most of that time so far working on proprietary software, but he is now the lead developer of AccessKit, a free accessibility glue layer for multiple platforms and programming languages.

Software Freedom Day has been a rather niche event, but inside the FOSS community it was a household brand a decade ago. While it has been on the decline over the last 10 years, today the event is more important than ever in the movement to further Software Freedom. In this talk, I will explain why.

I made a movie called "Moria's Race" ( an action film about racing-obsessed little children ). It took me 3 and a half years for only about 28 minutes of stuff. But I did it using free software only ( avoided the temptation of rendering on the GPU even ). And the film is released under a CC-BY-SA license.
