“The government has such ability to do these things. But the specific techniques they use become unavailable if they’re discussed in detail. So the debate needs to be about the general notion of under what circumstances should they be allowed to do things.”

Recently, it was announced that the Jeff.pro channel built and is testing its own custom-built anti-spam bot for our Technology chat room, @jptchat
Our new Bot is working well. While testing, it has been ‘muting’ (silencing) accounts instead of kicking them out of the chat room.
In the past few weeks it has muted a lot of accounts in the chat. If you were silenced for some reason, don’t take it personally, it’s our new bot which has been too fast on the trigger, it will soon be un-muting everyone (including spammers) and kicking out the real spammers it sees with more accuracy!

Political post of the day:
A lot of people are talking today about RFK Jr. bringing up the issue of “reparations.”
While understanding reparations are not popular with most Americans, if some form of reparation was going to be made available in the future, what about “reparations” for the vax injured, to be clear: paid out of a class action lawsuit against the “big pharma” that caused the damage in the first place?
Still not a fan of the reparations idea in general as far as public funds are concerned. The moral discussion is another one—this viewpoint advocates for less government, get out of our lives, stop micro-managing us!
We want freedom with justice and accountability for deep state actors. And, no “deep state” to exist ever again.

In case anyone cares what I think about this, and maybe you don’t, but if you do … 🤣
We the People should be more confident in the way we see the world, our arguments and positions because it’s all based in truth.
Like today, the news headlines on the Sidney Powell plea deal. I understand a bunch of people were upset when it was first reported but if we take a step back, we’re giving too much credit to the MSM’s spin that her agreement was some kind of bad or negative development when in reality it’s overwhelming evidence of just how weak the overall case is.
Like, who cares. Let them spin it. We shouldn’t be so upset that they turn things upside down and spin them. That’s their main skill set. So, whatever. They’re going to do that no matter what.
Just my 2c.
Smile, have some more coffee. We’ve got work to do. May as well be happy and enjoy every day here on earth while we work to make it better.

Maybe you like him, maybe you don't, but seeing Stew Peters openly call out the targeting of civillians is something that reiterates, at least for me, that the "truther" movement is indeed speaking truth while liberals are war mongering.
Wild to see things how they are in the political world at the moment.

PRAYER
Almighty God in Heaven, we are filled with gratitude for Your infinite wisdom, Your steadfast love, and Your ever-present protection from the forces of darkness.
We pray for Your mercy and forgiveness, aware of the imperfections that mark our lives when we stray from Your narrow way. We ask for Your healing by restoring us in us a spirit of repentance.
Lord, as we look to the week ahead, we ask that You renew our spirits and grant us the energy and vigor to pursue our callings with joy and hope. May Your light shine in us, filling us with spiritual wisdom to overcome our doubts and fears.
When despairing voices say there is no hope and life has no meaning, we rejoice in Your Word and the Holy Spirit that give our lives purpose. Your Holy Guidance is a lamp for our feet, dear Lord, illuminating the righteous path that leads us every day closer to our true home, with You.
And so we humbly ask, O Father God, that you would guide our steps from here on with a Father’s love, to walk in the good works You have prepared for us. Shape our hearts to desire Your perfect will. For we know that we are the workmanship of Your hands, and everything good flows from You above all else.
We pray for these things with sincere hearts in the precious name of Your One and Only Son, He in whom we place all our hope, our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

After the events of the last few years I realized dropping Windows was necessary. I set up dual boot with Linux Mint Cinnamon/Windows 10 on our family desktop. Then, my kids asked for Mint on their Windows computer. Much to my surprise, my kids LOVE ❤ it! They set up every single game and software they had on Windows. The difference in CPU, memory use, and speed is like night and day! My 13 year old had built a gaming computer that was running Windows 10. Once he saw how fast that exact same computer runs with Linux Mint, he never uses anything else now. Funny how kids will jump right in once they see how much better it is.

I saw an earlier post about an old scanner running on Linux. Have an old Canon which Windows stopped supporting when I upgraded to 7. Plugged it into an old computer on which I installed Debian and it works!
