Thank you, I'll get to it shortly

Thanks! That's an alias account. Normally I'd use a masked email, but for the press I wanted something a bit more pro looking. If it starts getting spam, it's easy to delete/change.

Hey dude, I'm interested in an EPUB copy. And I'll share it with others who will benefit.

How about this for an alt email: [email protected]

[email protected]

Will send, thanks!

[email protected]

Thanks for sharing the TOC! Great idea.

[email protected]

As you can see, the book is aimed more at newbies (and people with low-medium level tech knowledge) like myself. doggirl-lol

[email protected]

My pleasure, thanks for sharing all this important knowledge!

PS: I have few related things on https://fabien.benetou.fr/Cookbook/DigitalSelfSovereignty so I'd be curious to hear your opinion on it.

[email protected]

Wow, that's so thorough! It's great. I also tried your Beyond Monopoly videos but they are way too advanced for me!

[email protected]

Ah... thanks! Well let me ask then, if there was another "Beyond Monopoly" video that could be less "advanced" what would you like it to be about?

[email protected]

Hmm...I'd say solutions for people who are not as tech savvy, and how to implement them. Even things as simple as how to change your default browser and search engine, suggestions for different OS's and how to install them on any kind of computer, different options for Microsoft software, etc. For example, I'm on a Mac just because it's still good and I don't want to pay for a new one...I'd love either some simple ways to "harden" it and/or install Linux.

BUT...your audience is obviously more tech savvy and that's OK too! I think we need info for all levels.

Hi!
Tried a few options to download the epub and they all required login
Is there one that doesn't or it'll have to settle with PDF?

as how to change your default browser and search engine, suggestions for different OS’s and how to install them on any kind of computer, different options for Microsoft software, etc. For example, I’m on a Mac just because it’s still good and I don’t want to pay for a new one…I’d love either some simple ways to “harden” it and/or install Linux.

Wonderful, I can do that! I indeed assume that people just don't "want" to install Linux because they think Windows, or other Microsoft products, is "good enough" for them but maybe they just don't know how or imagine they don't have the ability to do so. That's a great suggestion I'll try to address it soon, thanks!

I can send you an EPUB directly! Later (when I have time) I'll put a button on there for direct EPUB download as well as the various stores. You can email me at [email protected] if you feel comfortable doing so, or I'll post again when EPUB is on the site.

[email protected]

Yes, I'm one of them, haha! It would be great to have Linux or a privacy OS...though I haven't found a privacy OS I think will be any good.

I've been doing what's in the guide for several years but its good to see a well structured and well presented resource like this anyway.

Theyve convinced normie that his valuable resources are valueless, and absent a better role model that won't change (he's not the type who thinks from first principles)

Took 3 months but there you go https://video.benetou.fr/w/p/q8C2p1Aky9uVPrPShMrAxK?playlistPosition=8 let me know if that helps!

[email protected]

Wow, thank you! I'll check it out later!

[email protected]

I'm only about 3/4 of the way through but I love it! I'm on a trip, but as soon as I get back I can't wait to try this. I'll also share it with some groups I'm in. THANK YOU.

We should even make a video where I interview you on some of these things for a MUCH less techie audience. There are a LOT of retired people I know who have money, they have time, and they hate what's happening here...but I would never be able to convince them to do some of this stuff. And these people are ignored!

What do you think? I could ask the most very basic questions on why this is important, how to make it as simple as possible, etc. (I'm a semi-retired journalist so I have LOTS of experience interviewing.

I hope you'll join my 5-week degoogle challenge! https://signal.group/#CjQKIPfv-Xa5mSVIES2Rwx5-8tQHT8wgADjmXXAp6Glu23V-EhCM50toN-KpLV4lXJg1TM3Q
