"Can't imagine why most of those here on TG would even still be around on Reddit given it's hostility to free speech. Still it seems they indeed plan to continue selling out it's users for profit."

Some time around the year 2015, a free-speech video alternative to YouTube emerged in a meaningful way. It was called Rumble.

Rumble was started by Canadian entrepreneur Chris Pavlovski in the downtown Toronto business district, a few blocks from the Jeff.pro office. It is all part of a story that still has not been told publicly, but someday it will be.

Rumble received investment from Don Bongino and other notable conservatives. Rumble’s technical team started handling the maintenance requirements of Truth Social.

A few years ago, (as could have been predicted), Rumble was attacked by the weaponized U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, led by Biden puppet Gary Gensler.

Yesterday, the SEC concluded its so-called “investigation” (harassment) of Rumble. The path has been cleared from here forward for Rumble to continue growing. YouTube and “big tech,” watch out!

SEC approves Trump Truth Social deal for up to $10 billion

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a merger of former President Donald Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, with Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC), which is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC).

Google’s new “woke” AI, called Google Gemini, was recently released and it’s ridiculous.

It's embarrassingly difficult to get Google Gemini to acknowledge that white people exist.

Anti-Whiteness is regime ideology.

The merger of “big tech” and the most bizarre political regime in U.S. history continues.

Pro-tip for my fellow space weather enthusiasts

Solarham.net is a great website for real-time Sun and Earth field tracking

Lots of data on it, but you get the hang of what you're looking at once you familiarize yourself with how the Sun/Earth magnetic dynamic works

Still too early to say if this is real.

Earlier today, many users of Google’s “gmail” email started receiving a notice saying that Google will “sunset” (discontinue) gmail as a service on August 1, 2024.

If it is real — we should know soon enough — it’s probably a blessing in disguise for those who see it as a inconvenience.

The last thing Google needs is more of our data.

After some confusion, it looks like Google is phasing out their “basic HTML view for gmail”, and not gmail itself, later this year.

Even so, it’s a good idea to reduce our reliance on “big tech” services like Gmail which are aggressively mining our data, emails on the gmail platform, with AI.

Just installed Zorin (friend did the heavy lifting). Unreal how fast and easy it was, and the warm and toasty vibe was immediate. MS pulling W10 support was final straw.

Congratulations! This is wonderful! So happy for you all, after so much hard work! Haven't been here in a while and found out the great news that you have released CNIX. I will be putting it on one of my old laptops tomorrow to check it out. I owe many thanks to Jeff.pro for introducing me to Linux and Python, and helping me convert all my computers over back in 2021. Still going strong!🙌🎉💪

Texas Instruments TI-99/4A with the Peripheral Expansion System.

These were released in 1979 and popular in the early 1980’s. One of the fastest “home computers” of its time.

It was built on the TMS9900 which they incredibly built themselves - one of the first 16 bit microprocessors. American engineering.

I go back to tube TV. Dad would remove selected tubes and take them to the local store where he could test each one.

This was actually one of my favorites, now that I think of it …

What about you frens?

Thank God our election systems are completely and magically impervious to cyber attacks! https://www.pennlive.com/life/2024/02/thousands-in-pa-county-lost-private-data-to-cyberattack.html

Another bad bill is being fast tracked through the Florida Legislature that we need to stop.

Some changes to FL Defamation laws will make it easier for FL government to shut down free speech ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET.

This is yet another attack on FREE SPEECH as it will be weaponized to go after conservative influencers and threaten them with jail time, legal fees and fines.

Call to Actions coming on this bill as we continue to monitor it.
