As big tech is getting more of our data, using our data for making money or training AI or other things. There is a fightback, services such as Nextcloud can be self-hosted or hosted by trusted parties and can offer a whole range of services that can meet your needs.

Why use Big tech, who we can thank for the current chaos in the USA, with attacks on science, the LGBTQ and much more is it not time people really switched to services run by people who respect others.?

Stop giving your money to big tech billionaires. Nextcloud talk is an open source replacement for big tech video conferencing services.

Open Source vs Free Software

There seems to be confusion around the terms Free software and Open Source Software.

To briefly clarify this.

The primary difference is philosophy – The free software movement says we're here doing all this because proprietary software is unethical. Wrong. Unjust.

The open source movement says we're here doing all of this because we can get technically better software.

Free software

Free software, does not simply mean the software is free as in cost, it refers to Free as in Freedom and a free software license such as the GPL [2] grants a user 4 freedoms.

• Freedom to use for any purpose
• Freedom to study the software
• Freedom to modify
• Freedom to copy and share the software with others

The freesoftware movement is also therefore about philosophy.

Open Computer Vision Tutorial. This looks interesting and something else to have an experiment with at some point. Would also be good at the Paignton Library STEM group meetings.
