I’ve been mulling the idea of giving talks to the general public about “how to take control of your technology”. I feel people have a vague sense about things like “Instagram does not have my best interests in mind” or “Why does my phone running out of space every 2 years” but don’t have the power to do anything about it. Even if we just peel back the top layer and put in the idea of (for example) looking at who is behind an app, rather than just going by looks and features, that could be a start to reclaiming control and making informed choices without having to dive too deep into technical details.
I don’t know where such talks would fit in though—do we invite the “general public” (i.e. people not necessarily in tech/tech-adjacent fields) to some sessions of IndiaFOSS? Or maybe there are some non-tech-oriented events which we can plug in to and give a few general interest talks like this, like a FOSS outreach kind of thing? Just throwing in some ideas
