Friends, our first year and a half working together, sharing knowledge, teaching people practical ways to do your computing away from the ‘big tech’ matrix — has been a smashing success, for all involved, all things considered.

It is actually pretty cool to consider that now, a year and a half after we started, there are something like 10,000 of you wondering around on Telegram channels and other places, with proficient knowledge of Linux, Open Source Software, many tech industry insider secrets, and other tech stuff you may not have known before, that “we the People” are not expected to know because they under-estimate us!!

I’ve never been big on “new year’s resolutions” but, what the heck. Let’s make it another great year!!

In these times with so much deceit, the true story about how “We the People” labored together more than thirty years with virtually no budget while building GNU/Linux, and how it became the world’s most stable, private, and technologically superior computer Operating System, will warm your heart. No kidding.

What Operating System software is running on your computers? What does it have access to?

It’s a consideration with further reaching implications than many people may first realize. A whole new Digital chapter full of wins against the emerging technocratic state awaits those who learn about Linux.

Learning Linux, one of your new year resolutions?

Then this Humble Book Bundle is for you 👇🤠

👆👆these are some pretty good books for people learning Linux, from a non-Amazon bookstore. Not our offer, but a known Linux channel.

👆👆 For those who appreciate RedPill78, a friend of this channel, he is back on Twitter.

If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in the Linux for Beginners private course run by this channel, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. Jan. 14th @ 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 push RESET on the entire Linux for Beginners course! In 2023, we will teach a complete, comprehensive introduction to Free and Open Source Software and the Linux Operating System while taking ‘deep dives’ in to the most important things you need to get good at, to operate your own completely independent technology.

If you were waiting for the right time to get serious about leaving ‘big tech’ once for all, and getting on the right track for your Digital Future, now is that time. Already using Linux? Revisit everything you’ve learned, and much more, as we cover the complete story of FOSS and Linux, in detail, “from the top.”

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.

First released in 1989/1990. It was popular because of good support and long battery life compared to the competition. Anyone remember the Nintendo Game Boy?

If this was your computer setup in 1978, life was good!

Learning to break away from the emerging government/'big tech' technocracy is one of the most important, healthy things you can do for yourself, now and for your digital future.

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!

PRAYER

Almighty and merciful Father, just as Your Son made well the blind beggar near Jericho, we pray that You help restore the vision of many on earth who cannot see clearly enough to discern what is true, and who are unaware of their own blindness.

Father, these among us have become foolishly arrogant, so blinded by evil, and fear, they cannot see what matters even to their own demise.

We pray that with Your infinite wisdom and strength, all things causing the blindness among those we speak of in our prayers today be struck down, WITH YOUR MERCY help these blind to see again and help calm their frightened souls as they face the truth; and as the world is cured of such blindness, that the most important truths will be seen first, and through this: We pray for justice against our adversaries.

Above all else, Father, we pray that You grant these who are blind, the life changing privilege of seeing You, for only You can provide what the world truly needs.

This we ask in the mighty name of Your one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

👆👆 Wow. What a video.

You know who has nothing to do with these kinds of practices? The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) world. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Just focused on legitimately brilliant open source code, and making sure your computer works for you the way it’s supposed to, instead of being some kind of problem device. The FOSS software community is generally politically agnostic with no ‘contract’ or ‘control’ agenda, the way it should be.

Learn something about some of the most common server types that run the public internet.

Note more than 90% of these servers are running on the Linux Operating System, by the way.

Do you agree? Is the MSM-COVID narrative collapsing? Could it finally be happening?

Seems like if anything, the tower might be starting to tip over..not sure if it’s collapsed yet..

I agree wholeheartedly with Ron Watkins, @codemonkeyz, who today posted about the need for transparent, open AI to counter-balance politically biased AI in the technology industry.

Ron is a smart programmer. He gets it.

This need is inevitable and it will lead to one of the most important discussions in history.
