Last year I started learning Linux (thanks Jeff!!!). I set up a desktop with mint and a phone with graphene os. I set up my own vpn on a vps. I hosted my own website on another vps. I started working on my own cloud server on another vps. I signed up for the python classes.... And then I decided we needed better elected officials so I ran for office. So, since march, I was campaigning (no, I didn't win.) Finally that is over and I am so happy to be BACK!!! Picking up where I left off last year. I'm so excited to finish this journey.

Does Microsoft keep ‘creeping’ towards the wrong side of Digital Ethics?
In the second half of 2022, admins on the Jeff.pro channel and our support email started fielding reports of Windows 11 users with Chinese-spy-government-ware (i.e., TikTok), being installed on their computer, when they never requested it.
After a few months, we realized it was happening to users throughout the internet. It’s a rumor that just won’t go away—is Microsoft in business with China?
If you followed the suggestions of the Jeff.pro channel, you switched your computer’s Operating System to Free and Open Source Linux, a long time ago, so this is not a concern to you.
If you’re still on Windows … it’s time to seriously consider making 2023 the year you commit to putting in the time to learn about a better path forward for your Digital life, with FOSS and the Linux O.S., a complete replacement for Windows on your computer.

The truth is out: Persons associated with the United States Democratic Party caused federal law enforcement agencies to pay taxpayer money to Social Media companies as part of a effort to silence news unfavorable to Democrats.

New York Post
Evidence shows FBI, Biden campaign and Twitter worked together to suppress Hunter story
Members of the intelligence community, and censors at Twitter, stress that they just didn’t know the Hunter Biden laptop was real, so they erred on the side of caution. Now we know that was a lie.

👆👆 This is third-world corruption here.
No longer speculation.
Anons knew it was true for years.
Now, it’s “verified” and indisputable.

Incredible thread here about Twitter/FBI corruption done to advance the interests of Democrats using federal law enforcement.
American history here. Not good history. Yet it is now a permanent part of our country’s story.
And how it is handled—or not—will also be part of our country’s story.

For a very long time, our “Government” has sued participants in the United States Securities Markets over things like alleged “insider trading”, on the premise that such actions “decrease confidence in the fairness of the system.”
Well, “Government.” Tell us. What effect does it have, bribing social media companies to suppress news your political party doesn’t like, from the American public?
Are you going to tell us that bribing twitter to surpress the truth is somehow supposed to “increase confidence … in the fairness …” of America as a whole?
Let’s face it. The FBI bribing Twitter is third-world dictator stuff. With TwitterGate out there, we cannot credibly point the finger at other countries for surpressing and manipulating the news, for any reason, period.
UNLESS — UNLESS — action is taken to correct it. The kind of action third world countries would NOT take.
Like, for example, impeaching the Resident, taking action against Hunter, impeaching/removing the FBI director, etc., would all be good first steps.
EVERYONE reading this, even “federal law enforcement,” know it’s true. Come on. If that’s you, it’s time to drop your “partisanship,” stop the “game,” get on the right side of history, for Pete’s sake. Have some damn integrity. We’re AMERICANS. Act like it.

About 12 years ago, sold my Nasdaq-traded Social Network company to this guy. (The guy in the front, not the guy in the back..)
Got to know him over a time period of about a year, back then. He was a nice guy, pretty intense. Kept his word on everything. Zero problems dealing with him.
I don’t know a lot about his politics. Some people don’t like him, I get that. Anyways. Strange to see him in the Senate now, along with someone else I used to know for a long time, Kyrsten Sinema, I was one of her first donors a zillion years ago. Feels Surreal. 🤷♂️

Since a lot of people who follow the Jeff.pro channel are using Linux Mint, did you see that the new version was just released? Check the following post for upgrade details.
And if you haven’t switched your computer’s Operating System to Linux yet, with the tyranny of Microsoft Windows getting worse every quarter, it’s time to seriously considering making 2023 the year you finally get serious about learning how to use Free and Open Source Software, and Linux!

Scott allegedly was involved in a Medicare defraud with hospitals, making millions, plead the 5th & had stock in a "Hot Chica" web site. Slimey but may have learned his lesson.

Forwarded from JP's technology chat (Admin)
The “hot chica” website allegation about Rick Scott arose from the business Jeffrey Peterson started and sold to him, Quepasa. It was the largest and only independent Hispanic Social Network in the history of the U.S., worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the time. It had many content partnerships with media publishers such as Telemundo, HBO, ESPN, BBC, and one of them was Playboy Mexico. (Not Jeffrey Peterson’s deal. It was made by someone else). Rick’s detractors seized on that detail and blew it up in to the kind of rhetoric you just posted. FAKE NEWS!! Rick is not “Slimey.” He is a Christian. Literally a boy scout. (Eagle scout).

In 2022, the Jeff.pro helped thousands of followers learn about the world of Free and Open Source (FOSS) software, a collection of software that will work on your laptop or desktop computer that has been under development for about 30 years.
At the center of the FOSS world is the Linux Operating System, a complete replacement for Microsoft Windows on your computer.
FOSS Software is “Free as in Freedom.” Meaning, it doesn’t spy on you. It is also literally free, as in, the makers give it away for free. It’s a labor of love—FOSS software teams want the world to have good software that is transparent and doesn’t spy on people.
That is why thousands of programmers from all over the world have labored away at building good FOSS software for a long time and still do so today. If you haven’t heard of this entire FOSS ecosystem, even though it’s quite large and many millions of people do know about it, if you haven’t heard, it’s because they have no marketing budget. You have to know it’s there—usually through word of mouth from a friend—to find it, learn about it and use it.
FOSS and Linux are amazing stories of the best software ecosystem ever developed in the history of technology — The engineering inside of Linux is arguably superior to that of Microsoft Windows, Linux (and other Unix-like O.S.'s, like some BSD distros) were built by collaborative teams of individual programmers, while Windows was built by a big company (Microsoft) with a commercial budget. The internals of Linux are admired and complimented by software engineers, while it is fair to say Windows is almost universally considered quite poorly designed, full of bugs and viruses. Ironic outcome for this "David v. Goliath" technology scenario.
It is a unique, inspiring example of what individuals can still accomplish even in today’s day and age, when they get focused with their hearts in the right place, everyone putting in some effort over time. Don’t let anyone say We the People are “too late” to take control of technology. The true history of the FOSS software ecosystem that exists today, even though “not perfect,” is a compelling, darn impressive example that it can be done, even to higher standards than big tech.
