Updates to the Email Self-Defense Guide

[Greg Farough]

Hi, everyone,

Just writing to share with you that we've brought the often imitated,
never duplicated Email Self-Defense Guide up to date with another
round of edits. Please have a look and, ideally, introduce the Guide
to someone who doesn't already use GPG or email encryption to run
through it, helping their freedom and privacy at the same time.



Exuberant encrypting,

-g

Re: Were Intellectual Property to be abolished altogether, would you or FSF support it?

Beside you can make bylaws, or resolution or policies

members say Proprietary is better, I would have to go along with that decision.

Arguments for Proprietary Software might be that we live in a Capitalist system 
and even the cooperatives cannot escape the economic reality that forces their 
hand.

I might still argue that we should 'voluntarily' use Libre-licensing such as 
GPL (but again I would only have one vote 😅)

This is what I meant 😄


Ah- that makes sense! I wish you the best of luck in trying to convince 
your co-workers, and for one am a ready audience if you wish to share 
the eventual results (whatever they may be).

Yes, the Free Software movement and (Worker) Cooperatives should definitely 
join up!

One prominent area that I can think of is the Payment System (like GNU Taler).

It would be a wonderful exercise of global people power if can all get together 
and create the People's replacement of Credit Cards and others dominated by the 
Capitalists!😄

You can if you put it in the articles of incorporation or bylaws 
(depending on your jurisdiction).

With that sort of set up surely what you can do is present a strong 
argument not just ethically but also financially and technically for 
using free software, cite some good examples of where it has proven to 
be effective.  Ideally that people can related to.


The internet runs on free software (well mostly) for example.

Libreoffice documentation is coming along nicely, which helps, do not 
assume people can simply pick up some software and just use it without 
help.  In some cases are even just able to search and find the right 
information.


I think the idea of platform coops is something I suggested on social 
hub as a way to expend the fediverse, as in more people running their 
own server or have small groups doing so. They like the idea we, as with 
free software we need some sort of critical mass using it.
