Have a great Friday, frens!

Weekend’s here! 🥳

For those who are serious about taking back your Digital Freedom, Sean Patrick Tario of Mark37.com made a great, detailed presentation about FOSS and Linux software.

Highly recommended.

This seems strange, but here it is anyways: YouTube "will no longer remove content that features ... claims that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, reversing a policy instituted two years ago amid a wave of false claims about the election."

"Two years, tens of thousands of video removals, and one election cycle later, we recognized it was time to reevaluate the effects of this policy in today's changed landscape. In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm. With that in mind, and with 2024 campaigns well underway, we will stop removing content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past US Presidential elections. This goes into effect today, Friday, June 2."

Here's a link to the announcement itself on YouTube's website: https://blog.youtube/inside-youtube/us-election-misinformation-update-2023/

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 now!

This week, join us as we answer one of your most common questions: How long does it take to learn Linux, and how much of it do I really need to learn?

Then we discuss the best ways to find a cheap second laptop for learning and practicing Linux. Did you know Chromebook laptops, which can be found new for less than $100, can be converted to Linux, too?

In a complicated world, learn how easy it can be to take back complete control of your computers and achieve Digital Freedom, with Linux!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

It’s incredible how one seemingly dull picture could bring back so many memories in a way that absolutely no one who wasn’t around back then could ever understand!

“8 ball Deluxe” was a popular pinball machine first released by Bally in 1981. More than 8,000 of these were made, making it one of the best selling pinball machines of the 80’s. It was a simple game based on pool. If you think back far enough you may remember seeing one of these, as they were in a lot of places back then.

It was powered by a Bally MPU AS-2518-35 main board with 12 volts DC. (something like this, in case you’re interested): https://allteksystems.com/products/ultimate-mpu-universal-bally-stern-replacement-board

PRAYER

Almighty God in Heaven, as we behold the Holy Trinity—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit—our hearts swell with awe and reverence. While our human minds cannot fully comprehend the vastness and power of Your majestic glory, Your Spirit graciously lives within us, illuminating us with the light of faith and wisdom of Your divine purpose. For this gift, we are eternally grateful.

We pray today once again for the wisdom and discernment to know and joyfully follow Your perfect will for our lives. With grateful and believing hearts we seek Your divine leading. Please show us the way we should go this upcoming week. Open the eyes of our understanding and tune the ears of our souls to hear the infinite wisdom of Your still, small voice. For You alone, O God, are perfectly Holy, Good, and worthy of all honor, praise, and glory.

In the mighty Name of Jesus, the Name that reigns above all others, we humbly offer this prayer. Amen.

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17

The messaging here on the Jeff.pro channel has always been well received ... teaching Patriots how to move away from Microsoft Windows on to Linux has been like water flowing down a stream.

Since the first moment this channel was launched, people have always heard our message, done their research, and eventually realized FOSS and Linux are the real deal in terms of unplugging from the digital matrix, while still staying connected to the internet in a way that gives control back to us, "We the People."

We've learned that with messaging here on telegram it's about ~20 to 30 people per month who finish studying, and more or less the same number jump on board to start learning. Almost two years later, our Linux for Beginners class remains full.

Don't let anyone tell you that Patriots are not interested in technology. The consistency in our educational programs proves otherwise. What -IS- true is that it takes time to learn and change to new ways of doing things, that time investment is actually what's hardest for people, completely understandable.

Elon Musk Calls for All Social Media Companies to Open Source Their Algorithms

“There’s a massive amount of secret suppression going on at Facebook, Google, Instagram…It’s just nonstop secret suppression.”

@ChiefNerd

We can probably expect 'big tech' to Open Source their truth suppression algorithms on about the same timeline the Democrats come clean about biolabs in Ukraine. i.e., never 🙄

BREAKING NEWS: The technology industry has dramatically changed again, as today Apple announces the world's first mass-produced head-mounted AR/Spatial Computer.

Big news. Changes a lot of things in the world and tech industry. You will be hearing and reading about this one everywhere.

You can be sure professional tech workers in the U.S. don't allow themselves to be spied on by Microsoft Windows, because they're on Linux, where they have freedom.

The Jeff.pro channel took a completely different approach than others, teaching "We the People" about FOSS and Linux, something many had never even heard of. An initial reaction from many people at first is not to switch, because it's "too hard" (or insert other excuses here), much to the delight of your tech/gov't overlords.

Yet when you do your research and finally end up switching to Linux, your computing can be on a level playing field with those who know, instead of being data mined, spied on and treated like a "sheep" by the digital establishment.
