Either I'm getting old, or I'm spoiled by plug n play, but I can't help wishing for a phone and a computer that are already de-googled and de-appled. I see T-mobile mentioned a lot here, are they less "liberal-left" than AT&T? Where did you receive your phone from, ebay?

Can you not use QB Online with Linux?

I am trying Patriot Mobile to ditch putting my money directly into AT&T's pocket.

This is a pine phone from a post here but not sure how to get it

I used my Raspberry Pi to be a Network Attached Storage (NAS) that I have Linux, Windows, and Android devices attached. Wife hasn't let me do her Mac yet.

I am finally able to listen to this voice chat and can’t tell you how excited I am about this. The part where you say even someone not technical can help makes me so happy. I have always been curious but time has prevented me from exploring.. Hoping that I can help with this project in some way.

My son thought there was no way I could do it. BWAHAHAHA

I installed Linux Mint on my laptop yesterday and deleted Windows permanently! Mint runs seemlessly!

Done. I loaded Ubuntu on another laptop. For some reason, the software tab doesn't show any to load anymore (except the popular ones), even when I search by name. So I switched this laptop to Linux mint to see which one I like more.

I don't have words to describe how in love I'm with Linux Mint 😍 thanks to everyone for sharing so valuable knowledge! 🙏

Question, friends! Does anyone here like Rock n' Roll?

For your Saturday evening on the Jeff.pro technology channel, here is a song from Jeff's childhood friend JR Richards, founding frontman of the American music group Dishwalla! Enjoy! 🎸

Just went on ebay and got reconditioned Dell (intel i5) with Linux Mint on it for my high schoolers who share a Windows machine. Seller already sold 26 of 30 machines, does many. Once the girls get Linux, they will load Libre and so forth. They know "why". Their generation is starting to see clearer than mine did at their age. I am sure they will move the other laptop later. Phones will switch during '22. I so like seeing this course being taken willingly by them "for cause".

I got a phone to degoogle. Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to degoogle a pixel 3xl? I'm so excited! Thank you.

FB is your data, life experiences and friends for the government to see. I left FB years ago. It was a difficult decision because I kept up with lifelong friends, but the privacy intrusions and data files they have on each one of you is just way over the top.

Sharing my journey… somehow I managed to flash a usb and install Ubuntu server onto my old (early 2009) Mac Mini. Feeling very accomplished, a little stunned and laughing at my “now what?” status. Next to research ssh keys and how to use my new server… 😂 feels a bit like jumping off a cliff and almost as exhilarating

Twitter is a cesspool of nasty narcissistic people. Some are always on there spouting garbage, like they don't have a job or what?

Deleted FB today.

I deleted Fakebook, twatter, linked in and Instagram - I got my life back!! :-)
