It's time to take charge of our digital footprint! By interrupting the constant flow of data to major tech players like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook, as well as governments, we disrupt their ability to profit from, monitor, and influence our actions. This shift impacts both our personal and professional lives.

We welcome you to the Linux for Beginners class and a new chapter of your digital life. You will like it!

Frens, what are your thoughts on MJJ?
I know many love him, some don’t like him …
When I was a kid, I got electric shocked by his mailbox at his Neverland Ranch residence 🤣 true story
Me and my friend Damian drove over the hill from Santa Barbara (my home town) to Los Olivos (about a 20 - 30 minute drive) to leave a note for him at his door …
A voice came on the speaker and told us to put our letter in the mailbox. There was a big metal mailbox right there
I went to open it and it turns out it was electrified 🤣 knocked me down. To this date, the worst I’ve ever been shocked ⚡️
A way to discourage people from going to his house, I guess…
