Sxmo: Freedom on mobile devices through simplicity and hackability
: Sunday 16:20 - 17:05 EDT (20:20 UTC)
: Jupiter
: Free Software in practice
Proprietary smartphone platforms today are a duopoly (Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS) that takes away user freedom. Unfortunately, in many relationships today, one is expected to have a smartphone and consequently surrender their freedoms to one of these proprietary software vendors. Sxmo is a simple free software mobile interface that you can hack to fit your needs. It encourages the use of free software throughout with postmarketOS and Alpine Linux. This presentation will go over the system and new developments.

What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:
That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.
Also a talk about sxmo/postmarketOS!
