Telegram won't download on my android. I have tried several times.

I have a 2011 I am trying to install Linux onto - I am having issues - also tried DVD. Do I need to format the drive/DVD or can I just burn/copy the .iso right to it as a .iso

I have Android. The wonderful creators of my version have a setting that I have to turn on to allow it to download APK from a source other than the Google store. You have to check it to allow that function. That is if you haven't already.

On this Telegram channel, we teach you how to eliminate tyrannical 'big tech' organizations from your life, like Microsoft (Windows), Apple, Google, 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!

Thank you Jeff...I wasn't even sure how to spell Linux about three months ago and now I have been through 10 different distros, loaded Ubuntu Touch on 2 phones and a tablet, and most recently loaded CalyxOS and LineageOS on two separate phones...I'm hooked and I love it...FREEDOM...👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If you are one of the several hundred Patriots enrolled in our Linux for Beginners course, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat.

This weekend's topic is: System Ports, What do they mean and how do we control them. Then, How to use Windows programs on Linux, an introduction to Virtualization with WINE and VMWare.

See you at tomorrow's live workshop!

Microsoft introduces feature for Word that suggests PC alternatives https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10396809/Microsoft-introduces-new-woke-feature-Word-tries-suggest-PC-alternatives.html?ito=native_share_article-top

Just bought a $65 2TB My Passport SSD. Installed VirtualBox on my Win11 laptop and created a Ubuntu virtual machine (VM) on My Passport. Worked so well I loaded the Zorin iso and created a second VM. I plan to keep on going with other flavors! Thanks Jeff, a new world opened up to me once I joined this channel!

When we think about Freedom, as it relates to our computers and technology, there's a story here, a story that was written quietly, continuously during the past 30 years. It wouldn't be interesting if it didn't affect our lives--and maybe it didn't, then, not so much.... until everything started changing, right in front of the eyes of the consciously awake world.

"If you’ve ever gone further into the diverse and layered world of Linux than installing a pre-packaged distribution like Ubuntu or Mint, you’ve probably come across someone who claims that the proper way to refer to “Linux” is actually as “GNU/Linux”, or has gone on a rant about how binary blobs are dangerous, or any number of other topics. Any of these points may in fact be valid, but will instantly turn away anyone who is simply looking for a quality piece of software and may not yet care about the finer points of FOSS or the motivations of the people who are involved in creating the software. " -- Essay, Linux's Marketing Problem (2019)

"These beliefs about [free] software are passionately held and firmly believed, but aren’t a good way of interacting with the outside world. The core problem here is that people with deep knowledge on a subject often have difficulty relating that knowledge to the general public, and they need some help."

This guy designed software that your computers depend on, for about 30 years. By making it easy for you to use, and keeping the source code closed, (hidden), he became the world's richest man.

This guy started designing the world's most popular Unix-like computer operating system in 1983. He has been telling the world the truth about Software Freedom, while fighting against digital tyranny, spying and privacy abuses for 30 years. Few people listened. "It's too complicated," they said. "I don't have time for that," they said.

Meanwhile, GNU/Linux became the most powerful Operating System in the world, used by the technology industry, (not many consumers). Today, most of the server-side Internet and all of the world's supercomputers run on the Operating System he designed, GNU/Linux. Richard Stallman gave away all of his life's work, for the world to use, for free.

In 2019, he was kicked out of his apartment, because he couldn't pay the rent.

Well, I'm in the process of dumping Twitter, just saying good bye and where I can be found.

Such a pity... How will you cope? 😂😂

A PRAYER FOR LEARNING

Teach me, Lord,
What I don't know.
Show me which way
And where to go.
Alone I stumble,
Alone I fall,
But your gentle voice
Leads through it all.
Take my hand,
Light my way,
Be my beacon
Night and day.
I am weak
And sometimes so low,
But you give me strength
And make me whole.
Teach me, Lord and Father.
Your child has become like new.
Empty me of myself
So I can live for you.

In Jesus name,
Amen. 🙏❤️
