After months of following JP I took the plunge Friday... 90 minutes later I’m Ubuntu 20.04... no issues... just follow directions precisely 😎

I'm day 2 on Pop OS and already love it. Extremely easy to use coming from about 5 months of Ubuntu as daily driver. Very efficient system for managing multiple tasks

I'm so happy and proud that I have installed Galliom OS on a Dell Chromebook and I installed Ubuntu on my Dell Latitude 5480. I bought both of them off of Ebay. I absolutely love them. Now I hope to learn how to get my own VPS, icloud, and email.

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!

A PRAYER FOR DISCERNMENT

Dear Lord,

Give us discernment we pray,
so that we may approach decisions
with spiritual wisdom and sensitivity.

Just as You told Samuel to not look at appearance
or height of a man’s stature,
We pray that we too look not on
outward appearances.

God You do not see how man sees,
but You look at the heart.

I know that we are living in days,
in this crooked generation,
when there is so much deception,
there is Deception not only in the world,
but in the Church,
it is often difficult to know the truth.

Yet You have told us that if we know the truth,
the truth will set us free.

So we pray that you give us discernment,
Righteous God,
but also give us the gentle Spirit of Christ,
that the love of Jesus may show forth in our lives,
as we seek to walk worthy for You.

In Jesus' name,
Amen.

My dad used to always say this beauty when I would play victim:

“Are you an Amer-I-Can or an Amer-I-Can’t?”

Every major achievement in the history of man was achieved by a “can do” person with a heart unafraid to fail.

Happy Sunday. Does anyone have any opinions on HMA (hidemyass) for a VPN? I need to find a new VPN to route through openvpn on mint (I can't figure out how to do my own vpn through a vps). I have Nord but am not using it since they are apparently selling your info.

So cool! I am sharing everywhere I go! Last week visited a local Staples for a small scanner and ended up talking with a Linux KNOWLEDGEABLE sales associate. He had not heard of our "movement" but was very enthusiastic about Linux Mint! Exciting days!!

Hey Jeff & team - check out and share the newest Joe Rogan Episode #1768 w Robert Epstein - AMAZING podcast about big tech and their survelliance and manipulation of everything we see and do.

Sounds good. That doesn't surprise me people are dumping big tech in droves. The Linux users of Gab also seeing a lot of people wanting to switch too.

Question: I’ve enjoyed waze but given it’s Google, I read some articles on privacy today for it and it’s as nasty as the other G-stuff. I deleted all my route history and bookmarks. 1. Anything else I should consider to clean it up before I delete it? 2. I’m on an iPhone still (but will consider a Linux based). Is there any safe/good/private alternative to waze? Would it be better to get a standalone GPS unit than a phone app? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting discovery: I popped in on an Andrew Torba (Gab CEO) livestream after church this morning as he was answering questions. He said he got off of Windows 15 years ago and uses Linux!

Got manjaro today on my 2011 MacBook Pro. Everything worked great! If anyone has some tips what I should do please let me know!

Stop giving your data to Google!

He spent much of his career putting the world on notice about the dangers of surveillance built in to 'big tech' like Facebook and Microsoft Windows, yet few listened. Until now.

Ok finally looking to take the plunge.. can anyone recommend a distro that's lightweight enough for a laptop that's a few years old with similar functionality to Windows for a newbie like myself? 😊

My laptop has barely worked out of the box since I bought it three years ago with all the crap Microsoft have bogged it down with. It could be so much better!

Does anybody have any thoughts on two factor authentication apps? I'm just not sure I like the idea of somebody else managing the pass code generator.

Has anyone used the de-googled phone with LinageOS or CalyxOS? If so, which and why did you choose? Thanks
