Notes de l'éditeur
- ** What FS offers us *The four freedoms of FS -- to run, change, copy, and redistribute -- are a powerful "social technology" that guarantee important rights to the users of software -- *that's in a legal sense. *In a social sense, they create conditions that encourage certain forms of sociality -- the LUG, the software dev list, the patch system, etc. *Free Software, then, /guarantees/ the 4 freedoms, but/encourages/ social transformations as well.
- **** for people who already want to hack, FS is fantastic.
- But for those w/out hacking skills/inclination, it isn't nearly so great. **** FS works great /if you're already living with a certian relaiton to software technologies// -- **** what I call an 'emancipated' relationship. So to make FS meaningful, we need to cultivate an /emancipated/ relation to technology
- *** The whole point of change the way we relate to technology Technologies enable us in many ways: - extend our capacities to move, sense, think. but can limit us as ell: - when yr car breaks down & you can't think how to get around - new relation that fixes this... *** so ET doesn't reference a property of the technology itself, but a mode of relating to the technology, which allows it to open up new possibilities & expand your horizons
- *** Kantian sense of autonomy, self-governance, giving of the rule to oneself - why do we care about freedom? - free rational agents who are the source of the authority behind the very moral laws that bind us - when you give yourself the law, your ethical status changes, as do your possibioities for action. we become free by being agents of the rules that govern us
- the formation of the self is the proper aim of education (cf. fr. /formation/). What does it take to put people in charge of their own technological possibilities.
- b/c what matters most is this /relation/, it's never sufficient to simply give someone a piece of technology.
