This is a different kind of "tech rights" video. We start by showing an embrace of the term, this time by Doctorow from the EFF* (there were some British doctors who used the term several years ago) and then we end up landing on the FSF's site, showing this latest blog post about software patents, including a discussion of the UPC -- or putting a rogue, judge-hostile EPO in charge of courts -- and this still-active "End Software Patents Wiki" (whose original maintainer no longer seems to be involved with the FSF). The video is spontaneous, it talks about our future direction and focus, and it commends the FSF and some of the geeks who are still at the EFF (there are elements in the EFF which we don't like, but the EFF isn't a monolith so we'd rather not throw out the baby with the bathwater). ⬆
_______ * In "Tech Rights Are Workers' Rights: Doordash Edition" he says that "[t]hough customers input their tips when they place their orders, the amount is hidden from drivers until they complete the job - turning each dispatch into a casino game where the dealer knows the payout in advance but the worker only finds out whether they’ve made or lost money on a delivery after it’s done."
