Fwd: Free Software Supporter Issue 142, February 2020

Inoltro alle liste. --------------------------------------- Diego Maniacco, Bolzano (Italy) diego.maniacco(a)gmail.com --------------------------------------- [image: Not f'd — you won't find me on Facebook] <https://www.fsf.org/fb> Not f'd — you won't find me on Facebook ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Free Software Foundation <info(a)fsf.org> Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2020 at 23:49 Subject: Free Software Supporter Issue 142, February 2020 To: DIEGO MANIACCO <diego.maniacco(a)gmail.com> [image: Free Software Foundation] Welcome to the *Free Software Supporter*, the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) monthly news digest and action update -- being read by you and 225,142 other activists. That's 6,259 more than last month! Tell Microsoft to upcycle Windows 7. Set it free! *From January 24th* Microsoft has taken a few steps in the right direction, such as releasing some small but important components of Windows as free software. We want them to accelerate these changes. We need Microsoft to prove to the world that their "love" of free software isn't just an ad campaign, and that they aren't just reaping the benefits of free software in order to exploit users by pushing them into relying on Service as a Software Substitute <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html>. They can do this by releasing Windows 7 under a free software license. The history of free software has shown us that software doesn't have to expire, and can even be written to last fifty years. And now that this version of their operating system has reached its "end-of-life," they have no good reason not to. Our petition has shot past the goal of 7,777 signers, but we encourage you to add your voice as well! Keep an eye on our Web site and social media accounts to see what we'll be doing next. *Sign the petition here by February 5!* <https://www.fsf.org/windows/upcycle-windows-7> - https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/tell-microsoft-to-upcycle-windows-7-set… TABLE OF CONTENTS - First LibrePlanet 2020 keynote announcement, plus new location! - Bring the planet to LibrePlanet by sponsoring an attendee - LibrePlanet 2020 needs you: Volunteer today! - It is time to end the DMCA anti-circumvention exemptions process and put a stop to DRM - Spring the mouse trap: Don't fall for Disney+ - Boston CiviCRM meetup looking for new organizer - GNU Guile 3.0.0 released - GNU Linux-libre 5.5 now available; required more deblobbing than usual - Ring doorbell app packed with third-party trackers - Reddit thread: I recently had a full head MRI.

Internet Hall of Famer Brewster Kahle is renowned as the founder of the Internet Archive, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the cultural history of the Web. More keynote speakers will be announced shortly, but in the meantime: LibrePlanet has a new location, at Boston's Back Bay Events Center! We've taken the grand tour and couldn't be happier about our choice of location. We're confident that the Events Center will be a great host for the technology and social justice conference we've all come to know and love. It's just the right place for us (and the movement) to take our next steps in freeing the future. The Back Bay Events Center is close to public transportation and the FSF headquarters. For more LibrePlanet 2020 updates, keep a close eye on the conference Web site, https://libreplanet.org/2020. And although we're always happy to see walk-ins, we highly encourage you to register for LibrePlanet today <https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/event/info?id=87&reset=1>! - https://www.fsf.org/news/first-libreplanet-2020-keynote-announcement-intern… - https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/libreplanet-2020-well-see-you-at-the-ba… Bring the planet to LibrePlanet by sponsoring an attendee *From January 8th* The FSF is proud of the fact that the LibrePlanet audience and speakers come from a diverse range of backgrounds, countries, and cultures. We believe that anyone who wants to attend or speak at the conference should not be held back by financial burdens, so if you have a few dollars to spare, why not make a donation <https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=60&pk_campaign=fr…> to help a few more people attend LibrePlanet? You'll be supporting a robust, diverse free software community by helping to reduce the financial barrier for those who need the help. - https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/bring-the-planet-to-libreplanet-by-spon… LibrePlanet 2020 needs you: Volunteer today! *From January 28th* LibrePlanet is coming up on March 14-15, and we need YOU to make the world's premier gathering of free software enthusiasts a success. Volunteers are needed for several different tasks at LibrePlanet, from an audio/visual crew to point cameras and adjust microphones, to room monitors to introduce speakers, to a set-up and clean-up crew to make our conference appear and disappear at the Event Center, and more! You can volunteer for as much or as little time as you like, whether you choose to help out for an hour or two, or the entirety of both days. Either way, we'll provide you with a VERY handsome LibrePlanet 2020 shirt in your size, in addition to free admission to the entire conference and lunch and our eternal gratitude. If you're interested in joining the volunteer team, contact our volunteer captain Matt Lavallee at resources(a)fsf.org: let him know your T-shirt size, and what training session you can attend. - https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/libreplanet-2020-needs-you-volunteer-to… It is time to end the DMCA anti-circumvention exemptions process and put a stop to DRM *From January 22nd* We call once again for the end of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's (DMCA) anti-circumvention provisions, and the absurd exemptions process that comes with it. Users have the right to control their own computing, and the right to share the tools we create with others. The DMCA violates those rights. We shouldn't have to fight for what is already morally ours. But fight we will, and we won't stop no matter how many hurdles they throw in front of us. We can't stop until all users have their rights restored. - https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/it_time_end_dmca_anticircumvention_e… Spring the mouse trap: Don't fall for Disney+ *From January 28th* Like the witch with her cauldron, Disney executives were concocting something evil when they were brewing up Disney+. It needed just the right amount of poison to be palatable: not enough to where it would turn everyone away, but not so little that users would be able to actually take a screenshot of the film that they are watching. Maleficent is more than just a character in a Disney film; it's an apt descriptor for the behavior of Disney itself when it comes to their attack on culture through Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). - https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/spring_mouse_trap_dont_fall_disney Boston CiviCRM meetup looking for new organizer *From January 23rd* The FSF's CiviCRM meetup in Boston is looking for community members who are interested in taking over and reviving this meetup. At one point, this meetup had about twelve people every month, but in the last two or three years it has gone down to one to three. We know there are people in the Boston area working at nonprofits, and who are using or considering using CiviCRM as an important part of their work. We would love for them to get together, but we don't have the time to organize the meetup anymore. - https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/civicrm-meetup-looking-for-new-organizer GNU Guile 3.0.0 released *From January 16th by Andy Wingo* We are ecstatic and relieved to announce the release of GNU Guile 3.0.0. This is the first release in the new stable 3.0 release series. See the release announcement for full details and a download link. - https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-300-released.html GNU Linux-libre 5.5 now available; required more deblobbing than usual *From January 27th by Michael Larabel* Fresh off the Linux 5.5 release, the Free Software Foundation Latin America crew has debuted their GNU Linux-libre 5.5 downstream that continues to be focused on deblobbing the kernel of drivers requiring proprietary firmware and stripping out other code/functionality that is contingent upon nonfree software bits, and removing the ability to load closed-source kernel modules. - https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Libre-5.5-GNU Ring doorbell app packed with third-party trackers *From January 27th by Bill Budington* Ring isn't just a product that allows users to surveil their neighbors. The company also uses it to surveil its customers. An investigation by the EFF of the Ring doorbell app for Android found it to be packed with third-party trackers sending out a plethora of customers’ personally identifiable information (PII). Four main analytics and marketing companies were discovered to be receiving information such as the names, private IP addresses, mobile network carriers, persistent identifiers, and sensor data on the devices of paying customers. The danger in sending even small bits of information is that analytics and tracking companies are able to combine these bits together to form a unique picture of the user’s device. This cohesive whole represents a fingerprint that follows the user as they interact with other apps and use their device, in essence providing trackers the ability to spy on what a user is doing in their digital lives and when they are doing it. All this takes place without meaningful user notification or consent and, in most cases, no way to mitigate the damage done. There's nothing surprising about any of this news, but it's just another reason to warn your friends and family not to use these products! - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/ring-doorbell-app-packed-third-party-… Reddit thread: I recently had a full head MRI. Using free software, I was able to pluck my brain out and turn it into a desk light. *From January 24th by User_browser_* Nifty free software project: this Reddit poster used a series of free software programs to create a model of their own brain, and created a ghoulishly delightful 3D model that now works as a desk lamp! Let us know if you try to duplicate their results -- we would love to hear about any ways that our supporters are using free software creatively. (We offer old.reddit.com as the link below because it doesn't require you to run proprietary JavaScript <https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2018/fall/escaping-the-javascript-trap-with-li…> .) - https://old.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/et91oc/i_recently_had_a_full_h… EA to brick Tetris phone app *From January 23rd by Rob Beschizza* A popular, official Tetris app is going to get bricked this April. Users of Tetris Blitz fired up the game yesterday to be given a smarmy "it's time to say goodbye" message from the publisher. Users loved this version of the game because you could play it one-handed, but in the era of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), just because you paid for something doesn't mean you own it. - https://boingboing.net/2020/01/23/ea-bricks-tetris-phone-app.html January GNU Emacs news *From January 27th by Sacha Chua* In these issues: Emacs starter kits without third party packages; a gentle introduction to Emacs configuration; Horizon theme for Emacs; getting started with live coding in Python inside Emacs; and more! - 2020-01-27 Emacs news <https://sachachua.com/blog/category/geek/emacs/#post-29516> - 2020-01-20 Emacs news <https://sachachua.com/blog/category/geek/emacs/#post-29514> - 2020-01-13 Emacs news <https://sachachua.com/blog/category/geek/emacs/#post-29513> - 2020-01-06 Emacs news <https://sachachua.com/blog/category/geek/emacs/#post-29507> Join the FSF and friends in updating the Free Software Directory Tens of thousands of people visit https://directory.fsf.org each month to discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of useful information, from basic category and descriptions to version control, IRC channels, documentation, and licensing. The Free Software Directory has been a great resource to software users over the past decade, but it needs your help staying up-to-date with new and exciting free software projects. To help, join our weekly IRC meetings on Fridays. Meetings take place in the #fsf channel on irc.freenode.org, and usually include a handful of regulars as well as newcomers. Freenode is accessible from any IRC client -- everyone's welcome! The next meeting is Friday, February 7th, from 12pm to 3pm EST (16:00 to 19:00 UTC). Details here: - https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page LibrePlanet featured resource: LibrePlanet:Conference/2020 Every month on the LibrePlanet wiki <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Main_Page>, we highlight one resource that is interesting and useful -- often one that could use your help. For this month, we are highlighting LibrePlanet:Conference/2020, which provides information about the upcoming LibrePlanet conference, happening here in Boston on March 14-15! This page is here to help you facilitate meetups with other free software supporters at the conference, including themed dinners. You are invited to adopt, spread and improve this important resource. - https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2020 Do you have a suggestion for next month's featured resource?
