Charlie Harvey outlines the righteous path to internet liberation
1.Embrace free software
It costs nothing, is often more stable and sometimes works better. It also lets you see the code your computer is running, and change it if need be. Compatibility with other programs has greatly improved.
2.Get downloading
Give this software a whirl:
For browsing: Firefox mozilla.org
For secure web chat: CryptoCat crypto.cat
For word processing: LibreOffice libreoffice.org
For graphic editing: GIMP gimp.org
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
