RxLaboratorio is not only dedicated to software development, teaching, training, helping people.

We also want to show that another world can be built together, without mercantilism and capitalism, where emancipation and freedom of all the people comes from equality, financial independence and mutual assistance, in a world respectful of nature.

We’re exploring other ways to fund, develop, and share tools and educational content amid the exponential increase of digital programs, algorithms, applications, communications, data and services, constantly growing and polluting our private and public, personal and professional lives.

The arrival of AI only amplifies the problem.

A large amount of those products, are developed, owned, and distributed by private multimillionaire corporations, becoming a noxious form of alienation of users.

When you use a private software or digital service, you depend on the power owned by the distribution platform and the terms of a non-negotiable user contract that you have signed.

We want to take back control over our tools!

Towards digital emancipation

When you use a bike, you are able to repair it, customize it, dismantle it, rebuild it. You are free to ride on two wheels, on one wheel, on your head. You are even free to show, exhibit, sell or offer your bike.

In that sense, we believe free and open source software to be the strongest way to preserve the freedom of software users and developers, making the tools available to anyone in the world. It guarantees that any user is free to do what they want, provided they respect the freedom of other users too, meaning that any derivative of those tools will be free too.

Also by sharing our expertise and experience to the community we contribute to maintain free and open source ecosystem. That’s why we encourage content creators to release their tools under the GNU General Public License.

Teaching, learning and assuring popular education is another way to preserve freedom.

Sharing, solidarity, the commons

We are revolted by the injustices, indignities and indecencies of today’s world, a consequence of unbridled capitalism.

The emancipation of each and every one of us require great solidarity between us all. Our work and our knowledge must be accessible to all, regardless our income or origin, for a safer world to live in, inhabited by gentle, sensitive, supportive and environmentally friendly humans.

This solidarity is also expressed towards creators who must also be able to get a living from their work. If their creations should remain mutually accessible, we must ensure their own emancipation.

Through the development, promotion, distribution of free and open source tools and resources that defend the freedom of users and creators, and committed to the protection of the environment, RxLaboratorio makes a statement to help changing the paradigm, against the rising tide of capitalism.

We strongly believe that emancipation, free sharing and helping each other will make the world a better place for everyone.
