In 2019, GNU/Linux co-founder Richard Stallman was invited to speak at Microsoft headquarters.

Instead of going along with the suggested agenda, "rms" famously went off-script, instead lecturing Microsoft employees for two hours about the dangers to society from secret "backdoors" in peripherals and Windows, and the importance of Software Freedom.

Stallman concluded with the suggestion that Microsoft should release the Windows source code to the public under the GNU General Public license that Richard himself first authored in 1989.

Imagine being targeted like al-Baghdadi or Osama bin Laden by Delta force because you’re publishing news the government doesn’t like. The legal framework is now in place for that to happen.

📌 Here Are All The Times The Biden Administration Has Called For Tech Censorship

The Biden administration has frequently urged social media and technology companies to censor users, stressing the perceived dangers of “misinformation.”

If you are in our Linux for Beginners ongoing class, this weekend we will be doing a workshop on the new buzzword sweeping the technology media: Web3.

Web3 is more than "just crypto," in fact we at the Jeff.pro channel at not big in to crypto. Many new technologies are emerging as part of Web3's promises to "decentralize" computing. Some of this may be helpful, like Web3 websites that can't be censored, some of the new technologies could be harmful, depending on how you see things.

We think it will be useful for Patriots to have an unbiased introduction to Web3, so we can at least hold our own in conversations about Blockchain technologies and and so everyone can intelligently debate the new Web3 as time goes on. So, we will provide an overview about it as a starting point, this Saturday @ 5:00pm EST in our Linux for Beginners Weekend Workshop.

Patriot tech building tips Most of the popular Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 websites controlled by the Woke Leftist Commie Mob are just big databases with a clean-looking graphical front end (user interface) designed by a few digital artists.

They are built with Unix-like Free Operating Systems on the server side, like BSD and Linux, and teams of developers with a few (1 to 3) years of programming experience.

This applies to sites like Twitter (big tweet database), Ebay (big forsale database), AirBnB (big rentals database), others. Don't let them make you believe it's hard to build replacements. It's not.

Almost there, tomorrow I'll work on music and getting something done with my email. I think I added evolution before the other crashed, let's hope I can recall what I did there.

I'm about to start my 1st journey into Linux. Just in case something goes terribly wrong, I'm installing Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 alongside Win7 on a 2007 Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX Notebook. It was a turtle with Windows Vista and Windows 7. Let's see if Linux wakes it up. 🤞😎

This is an HP Pavilion dv7 1135nr...built in 2009...a great computer in its time...I received this computer for free and loaded ArchLinux...it has new life...runs like a hot rod in 2022...freedom through Linux...value through renewing passed off hardware...you can do it...👍🇺🇸🙏

On Jan. 26th, 2022, the Jeff.pro Telegram channel hosted a live talk by GNU/Linux co-founder, Dr. Richard Stallman.

For the past 30 years, "rms" has been the highest profile fighter for Software Freedom in the technology industry. Meet the man the world knows as the "anti-Bill Gates," as we replay Dr. Stallman's talk, tonight @ 7:00pm EST here on the Jeff.pro channel.

This is a recording of tonight's replay from Jan. 26th, 2022 of a talk by GNU/Linux co-founder Dr. Richard Stallman, to the Jeff.pro User Group.

It is quite an extraordinary event for our group to connect with "rms". During the past thirty years, Stallman has been recognized by the technology community as the most influential advocate for Digital Freedom, frequently criticizing visible technology personalities such as Steve Jobs of Apple, and Microsoft's Bill Gates.

In 1983, Stallman started the Free Software Foundation and development of GNU, later merging with the OS Kernel developed by Linus Torvalds in 1992, becoming GNU/Linux, the world's most popular Operating System alternative to "big tech" OS's like Microsoft Windows and MacOS. Maintained by tens of thousands of programmers in many popular "distros" like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and others, more than 90% of the world's internet servers run on GNU/Linux due to its stability and precision engineering.

After bricking this OnePlus 6, and three days of scouring the forums to fix, a great result!

LineageOS on a oneplus 8 here. Works beautifully!

I have documents in excel and word, do you know if those will import into the Libre Office documents ok?

Picked up a HP desktop for $50 online, now running Linux Mint with KDE 8GB ram, 1TB HD. Can't tell the difference from my HP Envy laptop. Just bought it to play with and burn more drives with Linux without having to open my laptop and disconnect the SDD. Repurposing old tech to fight big tech! How many people can we help with low cost alternatives to feeding the enemy buying expensive new tech or worse forever financing their garbage

Love Linux! Easy enough to learn how to use. Also GnuCash is easy to use.
Got away from those others during the MSWin10 update cramming era.

Switched to Ubuntu 20.4 a few months ago and already feeling very comfortable with it.
BYE BYE WINDOWS!!!

I switched my daughter's laptop to Ubuntu 20.4 a few months ago. She isn't even computer savy and loves it! No more annoying Windows updates or blue screens of death!! 💻
