Thank you I have made the switch on some of my devices wish my employers would follow

Thanks. It's old but I think it will be running like new soon. I can't get that creepy Bill Gates out of my computer soon enough.

Yes! Happy New Year!
God told me to look up Psalm 27 this morning. (I didn't know what is said.) Such an appropriate word of life for us in these times!

Anyone have any experience with freedom phone? They boast using ClearOS but say nothing about it's base. Only that the phones cost $499 and are secure.

Oh, friends...I need help! I have searched for the method of backing up my entire Mac mini to a USB stick. I'm now so dang confused that I'm virtually frozen. I have linux on USB and can dual boot, but I want to install it. However, I don't want to lose everything on the Mac. Can someone help this hopeless non-techy grandmother?!

I’m looking to install Linux on a 2011 MacBook Pro. Any recommendations for which distro works best? If possible it would be great to have multi touch gestures

Can you not purchase "Non-smart TVs" still? I did purchase a "ONN" walmart brand online last in mid 2019 so I really dont know now,.

I heard someone say Manjaro is the best one for MacBooks... I think it was about a month ago...

Thank you all so very much! I have received a number of helpful replies to my question. You all are a great group, and your answers have given me courage to continue learning, instead of sitting "frozen" in front of the computer. Lol
Thank you !

On this Telegram channel, we teach Patriots how to defeat tyrannical 'big tech' organizations like Microsoft (Windows), Apple, Google, and more, by learning to use Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System.

We go beyond the concept of 'alternate platforms', to the place where you need to be to truly take back control -- the operating system level -- and show you how to get complete control over your technology, once and for all. Linux is the future, it is Digital Freedom!

A POEM

Instead of making a New Year's resolution,
Consider committing to a biblical solution.

Your promises are easily broken,
Sometimes empty words, though earnestly spoken.

But God's Word transforms the soul,
By His Holy Spirit making you whole

As you spend time with Him,
He will change you from within.

This year, commit to giving your life another look,
You will find all the answers you need, in His book.

This year, commit to listening to what He has to say.
Jesus is the way.

Admittedly, much of this tech talk does not make sense to me but the principles and motivation behind it sure do!

I am honored to have a seat in the road m in this historic movement… what all of you as JP’s little merry band of freedom & privacy loving tech leaders are doing is nothing short of epic and historic!
💯% believe that!

I love that people here are so helpful and patient.

So, this is interesting. Did not realize we can degoogle our phones!! We got 2 free phones when we switched over to cricket that we are not using. I'd like to attempt to degoogle them myself. Do I need special software?? Or coding skills?? They are sitting in their boxes collecting dust, so I'm not worried about damaging them. They are ovation 2.

I love this forum and thank the amazing people who are on here to help better their world and the world of others too.

You said it well! I too am honored to participate! This is a world changing movement! The sooner the masses know, the better! Also a great start to a new economy! Share early and often! 🤗
