+ \begin{itemize}

+ \item The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
+ \item The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others

+ \subsection{Why is FOSS awesome?}
+ \begin{frame}{Performance}
+ \begin{center}
+ \textcolor{ldorange}{Linus' Law:} “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.â€
+ \end{center}
+ \vspace{1em}
+ You:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item experience less crashes.
+ \item increase performance (especially for older hardware).
+ \item get better support - if ever it still fails.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Education}
+ You can:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item better manifest your intelligence and creativity.
+ \item learn valuable, transferable skills.
+ \item get better software habits
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Open Formats
+ \item \LaTeX
+ \item Git
+ \item CLI
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Empowerment}
+ You:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item free yourself from vendor lock-in.
+ \item get control over any service running on your system.
+ \item never have to ask for permission.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Innovation}
+ You:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item become more productive.
+ \item have more freedom, even than on the free market.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Security}
+ You:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item benefit from more privacy.
+ \item benefit from more safety.
+ \item use software which is more transparent (as in government - i.e. trustworthy).
+ \item have access to better encryption.
+ \end{itemize}
+ % Proprietary Software is Often Malware https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Sustainability}
+ The Software:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item depends on no single entity for its continuity.
+ \item can be improved by all and degraded by none.
+ \item is reproducible and transparent (as in science - i.e. comprehensible).
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vspace{1em}
+ You:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Can pool your resources with the world.
+ \end{itemize}

+ \begin{frame}{Regulation - from without}
+ E.g. by the government.

+ \item “Consumer Protection†threatens admissible information destinations.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{frame}
+ \begin{frame}{Regulation - from within}
+ E.g. by political groups, particularly via “Codes of Conductâ€, which can:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item make participation contingent on ideology (reducing freedom).
+ \item encourage exclusion from the community (reducing openness).
+ \item lead to tribalism and less resource pooling (reducing sustainability).
