A radically different digital experience is more within reach than it would seem. With a bit of effort, support, and creativity, small groups and communities can make a huge difference. People can build up, pool, and share digital resources to benefit others. By adapting to the physical realities of digital systems, we can make more beneficial choices.

In just a little less than two months, you have time to prepare what you want to share with others for Software Freedom Day on September 21st. Maybe you’d like to organize a get-together, or instead merely get drinks with some friends to talk about your digital experience. Whatever you choose, there is tons of opportunity in sharing the software freedom with others. This is an excellent chance to rekindle a world-wide movement for digital freedoms, and reconnect with each other.

Not only do threats evolve, but so do solutions. It is possible that many things we currently accept may become disastrous, yet easy to resolve in the future. If nothing else, this is a call to seriously consider long-term sustainability of various habits and techniques, as well as how we can emphasize adaptability in a rapidly changing environment. It is clear that now is not the time for complacency, and that a significant amount of effort is required to truly build a coherent foundation for computing.

Not everyone can afford to risk their income, or even their lives, to dissent against power. While there will always be a lucky few, who are able or willing to take that risk, imposing it on others will simply reduce the amount of people willing to speak out. It would be a mistake to restrict all speech to those who can afford to take the risk of speaking in their name. Protecting online privacy allows for more people to speak out about more things.

"This problem isn’t new. Even back in 2002, Stephan Engberg was one of many warning about how knee-jerk approaches to digital security can end up creating new unnecessary risks. From convenience to institutions with control over our lives, there are all kinds of ways in which security and control can be out of the people’s hands. Essential services like banking, communication, and access to necessities can very easily be gated behind “secure” options fraught with problems."

"We need to talk to the totalitarians … yes, the ones who wanted to put us in camps. If we can’t get through to them, we’re probably screwed. And there is a window of opportunity to do that now. It’s not 2020 or 2021. The mass hysteria has worn off for a lot of people. I know, not all of them, but for some of them, a lot of them. Some of them are finally reachable.
Take a chance, talk to them, the ones you know, or used to know. Try to get through to them. Not the bug-eyed, fanatical, foaming-at-the-mouth types who can’t wait for the return of the “emergency measures.” The other ones … you know the ones I mean. The ones who want out. You can see it in their eyes. Take a chance. Talk to these people."

It is almost cliche these days, that governments will do everything in their power to suppress genuinely useful information in a crisis when it plays to their advantage. It’s important not to be naive about corporations as well. They are every bit as capable of egregious abuses.

"There is much work to be done. Many important projects are unable to attain necessary funding or the volunteers to make it work. While it would be nice if we could merely come together and bankroll these projects, in some cases it may be efficient to reorganize the work itself. By being better able to manage large projects to parallelize work, we can gain efficiency in ways that are difficult to stop."

Bottom-up, decentralized, and permissionless strategies are at a premium. With the tools available to us, people from all walks of life are able to cooperate on incredible projects. Instead of relying on a tyrannical pharaoh’s vision for some great project, people can make their own public goods. We don’t need to be bigger or more powerful than large institutions to do incredible things. In many cases, it merely takes some creativity and diligent work.
