Zuck's bad day just got worse the United States Federal Trade Commission filed yet another lawsuit against Meta (Facebook) today, citing anti-competitive practices, specifically that Meta appears to be trying to dominate the entire 'Metaverse'.

Gosh Zuck, how about all the $$ you invested to bribe the Biden administration...not working out exactly how you hoped?

Get woke, go broke. Netflix stock lost more than 60% of its value this year, almost 70%. That is a tremendous loss of shareholder value.

Disney plus, Hulu (runs 'woke' political ads), "vox media", all having business trouble. CNN plus couldn't even get off the ground.

When do they start to understand? The people don't want "woke" garbage!

hey, just want to share this picture of my Linux Mint desktop (heavily modified). Launcher button in the center, invisible taskbar and background picture downloading and changing automatically each 10 minutes.

Hmm. More trouble for TikTok.

👆👆 Jeff interviewed Sean Patrick Tario here on the Jeff.pro channel on a Live Audio Stream a few months ago.

Sean is a real tech guy with significant industry experience. And aside from that he's just a great Patriot and a great guy!

The question to ask is who pays for this raising of standards. Usually this is passed onto the consumer.

We are in a strange period in history where 'Governments' all over the world are brazenly trying to selectively edit, censor and otherwise manipulate the news. Maybe it's happened in the past but it seems to be getting out of control.

We want to make a difference. We want to disrupt big tech's dominance of technology. We've been working on that, one day and one week at a time.

This year, the Jeff.pro group started teaching Patriots how to program computers in Python, currently the world's most popular programming language.

We weren't really sure what that would look like.

By now, we can say this much. We've trained a bunch of Patriots how to program in Python, from beginners to junior-intermediate level, and we've had a lot of fun along the way. 🤣
