They already have their own programs to do all that. They have had them since outlook was just a client and before Microsoft and Google offered email services.

The government should be using FOSS software simply to be a good stewart of our tax money.

There is also Libre Office. If they were serious about cutting government waste, they wouldn't use Microsoft or Google.

I hope they don't fall for it, but I'm sure they will.

Signal said they will just pull out of any country that demands a back door.

Back doors don't work. Just ask American telecom companies to talk about how easy it was to get Salt Typhoon out of their back door.

I go to my favorite software's pages from time to time to see what they're up to. Also, there are a few pieces that I have to visit the site for news when a non-free dependancy updates.

I still don't want to give those fuckers money. If I just use uBlock, the ad is never seen, thus no sale is made and the slimy ad company gets money.

This would just give money to the advertisers.

A lot of them have a donate button on their download page.

Discover FOSS software. Just be sure to toss some donations to your favorite projects.
