I've long been an advocate of using the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client. Part of the impetus behind my advocacy of these open-sourced programs is that they're more secure, due to the nature of open source software in general. For perhaps one of the first times in recent history, someone (who isn't being paid by a software company) has taken the time to look at the response times of software vendors in patching security flaws in their products.
The result: open-sourced Mozilla programs are patched about 3-4 times faster than closed-sourced Microsoft programs.

Welcome to the intersection of advocacy, journalism, and disruptive technology. I am Peter C. Frank an independent writer, digital creator, and consultant. This blog is my platform for incisive analysis—speaking #TruthToPower by exposing political opacity and challenging the status quo. My commentary focuses on the intersectionality of politics, tech, and social justice, specifically through the lens of LGBTQIA+, Disability, and Mental Health rights. I am a futurist and technologist charting a path toward solutions. My goal: to analyze governance and drive positive change. I've been blogging since January 2006 and am committed to rigorous, fact-driven journalism. Let's connect, share perspectives, and demand accountability together. #Journalism #Advocacy #PoliticalAnalysis #CTPolitics #LGBTQIA
