When I became aware of Linux desktop environment, I made the switch. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon on my mid 2012 Mac Book Pro, while deleting Mac OS. Then, I deleted Windows 10 from my desktop computer and have not looked back since. I am so glad to get away from the tyrannical big tech.

Linus T was spot on when it came to the NEED for Linux. Everyone should be looking to get away from Corp Tech. It’s amazing how many reasons there are to break free and security is just 1 of them.

Free and Open Source Software is not a gimmick, not a buzzword, not something to be taken lightly.

It is a blueprint for how America and the world can restore sanity to the technology industry where “big tech” is harming you, your future, and our country in the form of digital tyranny disguised as “convenience.”

Just as Sleepy Joe and most of Washington D.C. is obsessed with selling out our country for what they believe to be their own comfort, Silicon Valley and “big tech” who we are supposed to be able to trust with our technology are behaving in a similarly selfish way. If you’re using their products—and some are worse than others, but in general, they’re selling you out for their own gain, every day of the week. The more you learn about it, the more you’ll see how much it is truly harming you and your future.

This is important. We do well while considering our America first priorities, to pause and think about just how important it truly is, how much it affects.

All of this needs to change. It changes when we acknowledge it and start to take action.

There are winds of change in the air throughout the technology industry, the statistics show people are waking up to tech tyranny, but there’s much more to be done.

If you think about where the country was in 2019, 2020, with some people starting to wake up to political corruption, that’s about where the public is in terms of their awareness about the corruption and harm that is being done to them by Silicon Valley. There’s an awakening happening around tech tyranny, but it’s not felt as much as other things, yet.

Those of you following this channel, and other channels focused on people-driven technology like FOSS and Linux, are ahead of the curve.

Dedicated to MGM Resorts, who this week did a great job of losing tons of value and millions of customer records to a unsophisticated hacker group who reportedly broke in to MGM’s most crucial systems in about ten minutes after calling an internal help desk and asking for a password.

Pentagon-Funded Study Uses AI to Detect 'Violations of Social Norms' in Text

New research funded by the Pentagon suggests that artificial intelligence can scan and analyze blocks of text to discern whether the humans who wrote it have done something wrong or not.

👆👆 And if you think Microsoft Windows with its new “mandatory AI” isn’t either already, or soon going to be watching every key you type on your computer, every day, for the same kind of info, think again!

If you’re one of the several hundred learners in the Linux for Beginners class run by this channel, your invitations for tomorrow’s Weekend Linux Workshop are being sent out to your e-mail now!

This week, we look beyond Firefox and Brave at some alternative Linux web browser options that you may not have heard about. These will keep your web browsing completely private, and better protect your personal information!

Then we look at a new de-googled Mobile model phone recently released in to the Open Source world. Now that you know better options exist, why let yourself be locked in to off the shelf Android or Apple's iOS on your mobile device, like everyone else?

In a complicated world, learn how easy it can be to take back complete control of your computers and achieve Digital Freedom, with Linux, a complete replacement for the "big tech" Microsoft Windows on your computers!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we seek Your wisdom through Scripture's divine authority. Open our ears to Your voice in Your Word.

Uplift and renew our spirits, dear Lord, when we are feeling down or tired. We need You. Fortify us with strength from Your righteous hand, to meet what the world asks from us in the week ahead.

Give us courage to stand for biblical values, speaking truth in love. Protect our families from immorality seeking to destroy this nation founded on Your principles.

Lord, let truth rise up as You renew America by Your Spirit. Guide us to be a light, that all would know Your saving love.

We ask Your blessings on all patriots defending liberty, in the name of Your beautiful Son who reigns eternally, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
