Keynote
summary
Argues that personal computing shifts from computers become consumption devices to locked ecosystems where users lose root, compilers and control, so sovereignty vanishes; cites the Chaos Computer Club origins and hacker ethics—access to computers should be unlimited and all information should be free—as practical responses. Notes current realities: app stores, developer fees, central platforms, threats to net neutrality, and promotes small autonomous deployments like run your own servers (Nextcloud-style) as the only durable way to preserve user agency.
