Applies to “big tech” trying to invade and control every aspect of our lives, too!

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, learn the best backup tools for your Linux system. Did you know that in Linux, you can take snapshots of your entire computer system configuration at any time, so if something goes wrong, you can instantly revert back to the last time everything was working perfectly? It’s a great feature you’ll love! And, an overview of the Free and Open Office Suites of Software available for Linux—legally never pay another Microsoft license fee again, after you switch to Linux software!

Learning about the parallel technology world of Free and Open Source Software is a decision to take back control of your personal information, data and ultimately your Digital Freedom. We welcome you to the Linux for Beginners class and a new chapter of your digital life. You will like it! While everyone else is being abused by "big tech" with no end in sight, it's time for you to get used to winning in your technology world!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

A thought for anyone new here and trying to understand from someone that was new here 2.5 years ago... if your computer is like a limo that takes you around the digital world, switching to Linux is like firing your limo driver because you know they have anterior motives when working for you and hiring a driver that is guaranteed to be working for only you!

80’s music frens …

Name that song 👆 and singer, from the video only, with no sound!

Another “cheat sheet” of basic Linux commands.

When you change your computers to Linux, you can also do everything from the desktop with your mouse (point-and-click). Same as Windows and MacOS. However learning these commands will give you even more control over your computers in Linux.

Today marks the completion of classes for those who enrolled in last summer’s Python Beignners course.

There’s another batch of freedom-loving computer programmers out in the world! 🎉

Digital Enslavement vs. Freedom

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

PRAYER POEM
by Jeffrey Peterson
January 28, 2024

Heavenly Father, giver of light,
We praise You for scripture,
guiding us through the night.

Help us treasure Your Word, for it is good, and true.
Open our eyes to its wisdom each day anew.

As evil tries to spread across this broken land,
Give us discernment to take a righteous stand.

In these confusing times,
grant us wisdom to choose what is right.

Where injustice reigns,
We pray for Your merciful might.

We pray that You soften hardened hearts,
send repentance from above,
to help save the lost,
by Your grace, and infinite love.

O Lord, turn our gaze above,
beyond this world below,
To our eternal home,
where one day we'll go.

Each moment of our lives
brings us closer still,
To Your Kingdom, as You plan,
according to Your will.

We trust in Your purpose,
though the future is unknown.

In Jesus' name we pray, trusting You,
on Your heavenly throne.

Amen.

It’s that time of the year again..

For those freedom-loving Jeff.pro followers who want to help change the world by learning how to program a computer in the world’s most popular computer programming language, Python, enrollment opens now. We can take 20 beginner students, 10 intermediate.

These classes introduce you to, or advance you through the world of professional computer programming, with Python and Linux. They meet once a week online, on Saturdays. It is live instruction and hands-on coursework done on your own computer for a period of 4 or 5 months, intermediate or beginner level. Recordings are available if you can’t be there live.

Machines, whatever they are, should make our lives better.

They should work for us, never the other way around,

So we can get back to living.

Have a good night and a great week ahead, frens! 🇺🇸

More or less every technology prediction forecast by the Jeff.pro channel has, over time, proven to be true.

This isn’t said for bragging rights. Rather, to call your attention to the accuracy, and good faith efforts of this channel.

And here’s another bold statement that is also true. We the people can no longer rely on “big tech” to look out for our practical computer interests. Open Source Software made by people, not big corporations, and Linux, are our future, and our way forward!

BREAKING 🚨 Fulton County, Georgia has been hit with a cyberattack:

An unexpected outage has downed the county’s phone systems and brought certain online transactions to a halt, including those filing property tax, firearms and marriage licenses, the county said in a statement posted on its website. Most offices were also unable to accept phone calls, officials said. (Bloomberg)

Ever got confused between VS Code and VS Codium? Let us clear that out for you!

So let me get this straight:
Fulton County's system was hacked right around the same time that State Senators began to investigate Fani Willis for an improper relationship with a special prosecutor. The news is reporting that the Judicial System can't access online court filings and much of their system is down.
Any chance these two events are related? What is going on here?
