Start pulling out the barbs. You can switch from gmail to Protonmail (use both for a while). You can factory reset your android and then don't sign in to any Google stuff, get your apps from other places like apkpure rather than the app store. Use the Brave browser. Find open source alternatives to all the software you rely on. This will make it easy to switch over to the Linux operating system. It is a journey. Ready, set, go!

I was dumped from the dump in Jan 😂.
I always followed Jeffrey there too.

Proton Mail has a free option but if you get the paid version, you can use custom domains. So if you own a domain name like johndoe.me your email address can be john@johndoe.me
To my new subscribers here on Telegram: Thank you so much for your interest in this chanel! Here we will be talking a a lot about technology, a little about politics, but instead of posting the same stuff everyone else posts, we will do our best to give you some unique value--we will focus on rapidly educating Patriots about technology from the life experience of a "industry insider," while doing our best to keep it interesting, (sometimes tech stuff seems a little boring, less so when it affects your life) and ultimately we will be in the chat room connected to this channel exchanging tips and knowledge that will help all of us take back our digital freedom from the evil "big tech" overlords.
This is a new channel on Telegram. It's only been around for a short while. Yet, we have already started to bring together a great group of Patriots in the chat room who are interested in technology. And I can tell you we're reaching an early consensus: Freedom-loving Americans are starting to move towards the Linux operating system. We are moving away from using Microsoft Windows and Apple's operating systems (MacOS, iOS).
Why? We just don't trust those companies any more.
If you have those operating systems (Windows, MacOS) installed on your computer, they potentially have a window in to esentially -every single thing you are doing- with your computer or device at some point and it's not a comfortable position for any of us to be in any more, even if we don't know exactly how bad their spying is. Learning about the Linux operating system, in it's many forms, is empowerment. The Linux and opensource ecosystem is digital freedom. There's a learning curve. For many people, it will take some time to learn it. But Linux is probably the right direction for most Patriots to be moving in, in terms of taking back control of your technology, and it seems like more or less everyone here with technology experience is in agreement. 🙏

Agreed. It's likely for many it's simply *not practical* to "ditch" Windows or MacOS overnight, or at all. You don't have to "ditch" Windows though--you can do both. It is the present reality we find ourselves in, due to the way the technology industry evolved over time.
My goal is to educate and encourage Patriots to move in the right direction because technology competency requires an effort, it's not easy.
We need to be encouraged to keep up the fight. Many who are serious about their use of technology have started to study Linux "on the side" or in their spare time. The great thing about Linux and opensource ecosystem is everything is free. And it is some of the most interesting, most up to date technology out there.
You can do both. You can continue using your Windows and MacOS computers while having a second machine the runs linux--you can buy or built it yourself for a few hundred bucks.
Apathy hurts us as a society. You will hear Patriots talk about "nobody doing anything" which I agree with, things sometimes seem like they are not happening as fast as we would like. Taking control of our own digital world is somethng we can decide to do today, if we know what to do. May not be for everyone but if you want to "do something" to start fighting back on your own terms..If you're up for the challenge, I encourage everyone to start learning about Linux, one day at a time. A year goes by fast. You can be fluent in the use of Linux in 3 to 6 months, an expert in a year if you put in the effort.

Want to see someone who makes an effort to help do what's right? Look at James O'Keefe at Project Veritas. There's someone who fights the good fight for truth and freedom every week. Totally inspiring. You think what he does is easy? Yet, look at the results. If it wasn't for his work, we wouldn't have insiders walking away and telling the truth about what's happening inside Corporate America. I love his work. He inspires me.

Amen! Project Veritas has uncovered many many things and you are correct. It isn't easy. 👍

Yes. It all starts with the decision to improve one's understanding of technology. It is a journey that will not be done "overnight" unless you are highly motivated--in which case you can transform yourself with immersion in a matter of 2 or 3 months. For most people, it will take some time, but with the right attitude and a commitment to continuous learning, you can be in a whole new world within six months to a year. Having the right friends and mentors makes a big difference. Many will also find technology to be a great hobby. Especially in the world of LInux and opensource, where everything is either free or super inexpensive...several Patriots here have been looking at the Rasberry Pi Linux computer, which can purchased from many vendors for around $100.

If you are new to Linux, there are many variants. The most popular are the Debian variants like Ubuntu, Mint, Raspberry Pi OS and Mate. Switching from one to another is very easy so don't worry about picking the wrong one.

You could also pick up a used computer and install linux. Linux is a great way to make use of used/older computers.

Do not be scared of playing around with it. Once the "average" joe experiences this process, you will realized the digital machine world is fairly straight forward.

Linux basically boils down to three overall systems:
1. Arch based distros, using the pacman package manager.
2. Debian based distros using the apt package manager.
3. Red Hat based distros using yum and rpm package management.
A Linux distro, such as Mint or Ubuntu, will then put a default desktop environment on one of these three main systems. The desktop environment is generally what determines how your settings "control panel" looks. and functions.
Some of the most popular desktop environments are:
1. KDE Plasma
2. GNOME
3. Cinnamon
4. MATE
5. Xfce
All the software is the same, regardless of which core distro your distro is based on, or which desktop environment is installed.

Gotta say, I love this chat! Gotten more useful information in the last hour than anywhere else!

My 75 year old Dad (retired industrial engineer) just replaced Windows with Linux Mint on his HP laptop and loves it!

It's a very stable OS, he won't be disappointed. I run Ubuntu for my main desktop, it's fast and has expansive software (most of it free).
