Today we are welcoming a number of new subscribers to the Jeff.pro Telegram channel.

Your host on this channel is Jeffrey Peterson, a life-long technology enthusiast, sometimes technology entrepreneur and former founder and CEO of a top-20 Social Network in U.S. history, QP/MeetMe, which grew to 40 million active users under Peterson's leadership.

QP/MeetMe was a well known technology company that traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market for about 20 years (Nasdaq: MEET). The company was acquired by Florida Venture Capitalist Richard L. Scott shortly before Rick became Governor of Florida. In March 2020, QP/MeetMe was sold to the German parent company of eHarmony and went private.

Are you still trusting your files, your pictures, your accounting data … your digital life, to a computer running software at its core (Microsoft Windows) that was designed by this guy?

Here on the Jeff.pro channel, we teach you about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System. An entirely different world. It takes a while to learn. But it is a nice journey, your freedom is well worth it and it is our way forward away from ‘big tech’.

Stick around and learn a little more each week. Linux is Digital Freedom!

Evil Bill Gates is now one of the largest shareholders in Ecolab, a company that sells water treatment plants ‘solutions’.

He’s trying to get control of farmland all over the U.S., and now water. Why?

Will these psychos try to put vaccines in our water supply?

Share this one with your favorite “woke” liberals 👍

If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in the Linux for Beginners private course run by this Telegram channel, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. Sept. 10th @ 5:00pm ET) are being sent out to your email right now! (If you can't be there live, the wekeend workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS!)

This week, we explore how to make and keep secure system backups in Linux. Set and forget! Every bit as easy as the backups you used to make on Windows or MacOS. Except now, your backups won’t end up in China!

And we answer one of the most common questions we were asked last year: What exactly is Open Source software, and how is it safer than closed source?

In Unix-like systems, unlike Windows, nothing is hidden. You can know every single thing happening, and take back full control of your computer from 'big tech', once and for all!

If you can't make it to this weekend's live workshop, don't worry, it will be recorded (as always) and posted in our LMS system, for you to view with your login and password, at any time, 24/7.

Questions? Need help? email: support@jeff.pro

On this Telegram channel, we teach you how to eliminate 'big tech' spying and abuses from your life with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System.

Linux is Digital Freedom!

Starting in 1982, a new form of digital storage emerged, co-developed by Sony Corp. and Philips. It was called the Compact disc and could store a mind-blowing amount of data for back then, 650 MB.

When CD’s were first introduced, hard drives on home computers were expensive and could only store about 10 MB.

Compact discs revolutionized ROM and rewritable storage throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. Raise your hand if you ever burned data or music on to a CD disc!! 🥳

Join Jeff.pro founder Jeffrey Peterson, formerly CEO of a top-20, Nasdaq-traded Social Network in U.S. history, mega entrepreneur Sean Patrick Tario, co-founder of RightForge (original data center host of conservative websites including TRUTH Social), and blogger Paul Serran as they celebrate the 1-year Anniversary of the Jeff.pro Telegram channel and talk about what's next for independent technology.

A special Live Audio Stream here on Telegram — perfect for conservatives who have had enough of the ‘big tech’ / ‘big government’ technocracy — Sunday September 11, 2022 @ 7:00pm Eastern.

The time is NOW to declare your Digital Freedom and GET OUT of ‘big tech’!

Father, I choose to love as He loved and ask that in Your strength, You would work in me to will and do Your good purpose in the lives of all who read or hear or see this prayer. Amen.

Exactly one year ago, the Jeff.pro Telegram channel officially launched on the premise that it was important for “We the People” to start unplugging from big tech in a important way that was not being widely discussed — at the Operating System level, where the most crucial software that runs everything on our computers resides.

For most Americans (and people internationally, for that matter), this means they are running the Bill Gates designed, Microsoft Windows O.S. software at the core of their laptops, their computers.

The Operating System software can see and keep a record of every single thing we do on our computer. Forget about “Antivirus” software and so forth…your O.S. can see and make a record of absolutley everything: all of your files, your passwords, keys pressed, screenshots, everything you view, websites you visit, etc.

Some might say “it doesn’t matter.” We are of the mindset that our privacy, security and sovereignty over our own personal information and data is sacred and getting more valuable all the time. When we started, many were not even aware that their Microsoft Windows Operating System was leaking their personal data all over the internet—but it is, and Windows 11 is the worst offender yet.

Jeff is a life-long technologist as are the admins of this channel. As much as we love technology, we do not blindly endorse it. We are family oriented Christian Americans who believe technology should be used for practical purposes to make our real lives better, to work for the people, not against the people.

We are not fans of the “metaverse,” “digital I.D’s”, and especially not “big tech.”

And so we set out on a journey to educate our fellow Americans about a better way to do computing — with the robust Free and Open Source software (FOSS) libraries that have been evolving for the past thirty years, and the Linux computer Operating System, a complete replacement for Microsoft Windows on your computer.

About a year after we started teaching our fellow Americans about Linux, we ran a poll to ask everyone what they thought about it…a simple question. Now that you have some experience using Linux, what do you think? Is it the real deal or not? Many of you already saw the results of this poll, but we will re-post it today.
