I loaded Linuxmint on an old Dell Windows 7 laptop successfully!! 👍🏽😃🇺🇸

I got off fb years ago. Delete all your content first or they own it. Likes, everything. Now that I’m free I’ll never go back.

I am contemplating it myself. I posted twice about the giant ecological footprints of Davos attendees who fly there in their private jets and then want us to accept their utterly hypocritical lectures. I could find neither of my two posts. Even if I did, I am feeling compelled to leave. What made you decide?

Are there any Evernote users here? I don't want to give it up as it synchs with my other devices. Of course, I can use the web version but not as user friendly as the app.

I left last week. It’s not easy pulling from the matrix. I’ve been thinking through the weekend, of who I’ll miss. But is that missing, really? So strange how they’ve pulled us into this web of faux beliefs.

I've been looking into Kodi and have seen a bunch of Kodi setups that use Roku. Is this an okay idea, to use Roku with Kodi? Or is it better to set it up with your own remote?

Any substitute for qbooks

I have an old HP Pavillion that has the black screen of death. Would it be over ambitious to attempt to refurbish so I can convert to Linux?

Mint on a HP Pavillion DV6 with extra monitor. Learning Python is next. Do Not Comply!

I resurrected an HP DV6 with the black screen won't boot video processor issue by pulling the board & reflowing the video chip with a hot air gun. Got lucky and it finally booted back up. Wiped it and installed Linux Mint.

Still makes me chuckle.

If you are talking about QuickBooks, then GnuCash would be worth a look.

Someone or a group of people could prob make a nice little business off degoogling equipment

Interesting article on The Federalist channel on how Zuck's new plans for meta will make him the world's most powerful landlord.

I am just starting to investigate using Joplin to replace OneNote and Evernote. I am concerned with my information on their clouds. It looks like Joplin can use Dropbox or a private server to sync to all of my devices. I plan on trying to setup a server inside my network and use a VPN to connect to my network to Sync my devices remotely. It is also fully encrypted. The concept seems to work, but I have not tested yet.

We're the biggest new technology group on Telegram! We built our new online community together. Let's keep the good faith going, we have important work to do!

@Jeffrey_Peterson

I can not believe what I just posted. I am going to use Joplin and sync over my VPS. I had no idea what Linux, nextcloud a VPN or VPS was before Jeff started this group. Until the pandemic I was just a therapy dog volunteer and mom who lost sleep over big tech spying on us.

I find this channel extremely useful…. Can’t thank you enough for all your efforts to keep the info flowing… many thanks

Sounds like Zuckface wants to make a bunch of Neo's. People that can't tell what their reality is. What a lowlife.

Jeffrey! I accidentally deleted your chat channel. Can you put up the link?
