On the other hand, today many of the sticky issues with +proprietary software proliferation stems from the web, including the +Javascript trap[1] on the client side and the SaaSS trap[2] on the +server side. So enters the topic of this talk. I will briefly talk +about these issues and existing solutions, followed by ideas and +demonstrations on how Emacs can fix user freedom on the web, including +(from realistic to dreamy): emacs clients for specific websites and +services i.e. replacing read-only javascript forced on your browser +with hackable free elisp packages, emacs-based browsers aka universal +frontends and elisp version of users-cripts / greasemonkey / haketilo, +write-once-run-everywhere elisp programs (e.g. the emacs web server +and (nonexistent?) emacs mobile app UI framework), and remote emacs +servers that can be shared by a group of hackers running server +programs written in elisp, thus eliminating the SaaSS trap. + +[1] <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html> +[2] <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.en.html> + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/web-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2023/info/web-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + |
