Well, never mind! I had an old ASUS T10 pad with ms on it and when I logged into Proton Mail on it I got a link I didn't see before. It was "easy switch". I love learning!!😂

Thank you for this!! It's fascinating! We had a powerful electrical storm here yesterday, the likes of which I have not seen in many years, and possibly the worst! So I've been reading up! Many lost power, including me, off and on. We had tornados on the 5th with the storms rolling through. ⚡⚡⚡

META IS LOSING ITS FOCUS

It was reported last night by several tech blogs that Facebook (recently rebranded as 'meta') is seeking alternate revenue streams with "virtual tokens" internally called "Zuck Bucks" for the Metaverse, and exploring entering the financial services business with lending services, as the popularity of its main products falls.

OPINION: We think things are starting to look desperate at "meta" as they continue to lose focus. Maybe Zuck's dirty work for the Democrats isn't paying off the way he hoped it would.

Facebook ("meta") Stock Chart. Company losing users, focus.

In any event, say no to CBDC centralized surveillance coins: A communist's dream, the ability to shut down your currency at any time.

I have a question about deciding between Linux distros...

For performance and features, which would you recommend:
A. Manjaro "Qonos" KDE Plasma 21.2.5
B. Manjaro "Qonos" Cinnamon 21.2.5
C. MX Linux "Wildflower" MX-21 Xfce
D. MX Linux "Wildflower" MX-21 KDE

I'm leaning strongly towards Manjaro - particularly choice A - but I'd like to get some input before I make this decision. Thanks! 👍

From a channel subscriber. Thank You for your contributions to this Patriot computer channel. You guys are the best. 🇺🇸👍

The fact is, we are testing as we go. We continue to get better every single day…

The numbers don’t lie… Our community continues to grow and flourish and I think that’s gonna continue, just as we continue to let more & more people on the platform.” 👊🏼🇺🇸

VPN merger: We recently learned that popular VPN service NordVPN acquired another VPN brand, Surfshark, in February of this year.

Thus far, we are cautiously optimistic about the Nord and Surfshark VPN brands. It it worth noting that they remain independent of other popular VPN brands acquired last year by the questionable Kape Technologies, such as ExpressVPN.

@Jeffrey_Peterson

I use Surfshark, purchased explicitly because they said they would never sell out. a LOT of VPN companies have been purchased directly or indirectly by China, which means they can get access to your data if they want! I am hoping this merger does not result in a SELLOUT to China

SIGNS OF CONTINUED DECLINE AT FACEBOOK

Tech blog The Verge is reporting that this year, for the first time, Facebook ("meta") will not hold its once-popular F8 developer conference. The conference was at one time a favorite among Silicon Valley crowds.

@Jeffrey_Peterson

👆👆👆Follow up to the above post. Facebook is taking a "brief break" from its annual f8 developer conference, because of the 'Metaverse'. It's definitely not because their main business, the Social Network, is in freefall, with users abandoning ship. Nope. Not that.

This article further explores the message we promote on the Jeff.pro channel, many reasons to strongly consider taking back your Digital Freedom by moving away from 'big tech' Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows, and changing your computer's system software to Free and Open Source Linux.
