Following your installation article and video, I installed Linux Mint on my Lenovo laptop. I consider myself to be pretty dense with computers but the installation was easy and I'm enjoying getting to know my new Linux OS. All is going well. Thank you for your help, Ramiro!! Much love and gratitude! (And good riddance, Microsoft!)

above.phone Private Announcement
Some of you may be aware, we have been hard at work improving the above.phone - our take on the best de-googled phone out there. We wanted to give more information to those closest to us in the @takebackourtech and @neo_network communities before the official launch in September. Thanks for all your support. :)
Our first batch of phones have been shipped out and we are actively supporting them. I wanted to provide a few answers around the phones, so those who are ready to buy can make an informed decision.
Official Product Page
Official Purchase Page (Accepts Credit Card / BTC / LTC)
You have your choice of CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, there are detailed differences on that page but in essence you would use GrapheneOS for maximum security & privacy at the cost of usability.
CalyxOS has less phone hardening features but still strips out all the operating system level telemetry.
Additionally it ships with its own version of Google Play Services (microG). This makes your phone compatible with a wide selection of applications that are available on the Google Play Store (the Aurora Store on a de-googled phone). This greatly reduces the data sent to Google and lets you use apps that use Google Services if you really need them.
The second option is installation type. The minimal version leaves the phone untouched after installing the operating system. The Above version chooses the settings that are a reasonable improvement to the default experience, pre-installing the application suite, and adding our handcrafted wallpapers & themes.
There is no difference in price for the operating system or installation type. It is your choice!
The last option is the Above Privacy Suite, which we are putting the finishing touches on now. This will be a set of privacy services that the above.phone can easily be configured with, for multiple layers of private communication ontop of the phone itself. Privat email, VPN/DNS, video conferencing, e2e messaging, and alternative search. This comes at $100.00 a year, and the services launch in September.
We are putting the finishing touches on the Above Privacy Suite Services and our knowledgebase, which fill feature step by step instructions on migrating over your existing data, adjusting phone settings, setting up the Above Privacy Suite and using the phone for day-to-day needs. These should both be fully available in September for the official launch of the phone.
Every purchase you make supports the company behind #TakeBackOurTech, and either way we are committed to producing high quality education on taking back our technology.

#TakeBackOurTech: Taking A Break, & Self-Healing Education
Official Community | Telegram Channel |Telegram Chat Odysee | Hive | Minds
#TakeBackOurTech is our first content initiative and over the past few weeks we have learned an absolute ton. Putting out articles and videos multiple times a week requires discipline and coordination, but these trials are fulfilled every time we hear stories from you. We've been listening to all of the feedback over the past month as our viewers discussed the Operating Systems module and wanted to capture the highlights here.
- Explain the differences between free & open source software among others, and celebrate fully FOSS operating systems & solutions
- Create guides or curate resources for macOS users to transition to Linux
- Create guides or curate resources for Microsoft Surface users to transition to Linux
Internally, we have many things to improve on our content creation process, design, website, and programs. We will be sharing additional resources and articles later this month and regularly scheduled programming will return in September.
❤️ If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave your comments in our chat, or use our contact form.

Selling Your Personal Data Is The Norm For The Mainstream Mobile App Culture
@neo_network | @neo_network_chat | source
I'm writing up an complete argument as to why people should ditch modern day phones, and through my research I continue to be appalled at the level of data collection that occurs behind the scenes.
Here's a snippet from an independent study that summarizes what data gets sent to major advertising platforms.
The issue is that modern day developers are desperate for income over their users privacy, leading to people's political affiliation, sexual orientation, and GPS locations being sold to advertising platforms.
If you care about privacy, you've gotta sacrifice some of the mainstream apps you've been using, or have a phone that can limit permissions and observe tracking.
Gentle reminder that above.phones are still on sale, we have a few units left before the official launch in September. Select the Above Privacy Suite for your own VPN/Search/Email/E2E chat services!

In January, The Freedom Cell Network launched "The Greater Reset Activation", the people's response to the Great Reset agenda. In May we reunited for The Greater Reset: Activation to Expansion.
In January 2022, we will gather once again with a continued focus on ACTIVATION, on taking concrete steps in your life to create more freedom and joy. For our 3rd meeting our theme will be INTEGRATION!
How can we EDUCATE ourselves and those around us? How can we ACTIVATE our communities by INTEGRATING the solutions and concepts proposed?
See you in January for #TheGreaterReset! https://thegreaterreset.org

Dear nodes on the network of life,
I will be ready to record the first video of #TakeBackOurTech's phone module this week, as well the official launch & tech demo of the above.phone. Our group has been working on a reasonably private means of communication between us for more than half a year now, and after working with friends & clients alike across different devices, countries, and apps - we've got a solution that'll work for us all.
Later this week I'll be speaking at a few stops on the Activation Tour to spread this idea further, to encourage others to build their own websites, content publications, and run their own software service. This will then be formalized and produced into content for #TakeBackOurTech, of course.
Thanks for joining us on this journey ❤️
~ Remember, our connection is sacred.

Success! I now have Linux Mint running on my laptop, next is my desktop and then an above phone.
I spoke last night in Dallas with the Freedom Cell Network Crew! We shared many messages around taking responsibility for yourself and your community and what it would take to build a better world.
Part of this better world is the technologists, who will build the content efforts, organizational sites, and systems needed for the free world to communicate!
After the talk, I got to talk to several bright individuals that were ready to answer the call. It is humbling and inspiring to see this, and it drives me to share as much knowledge as I can this year.
Let's all run our own websites. Our own software services. Communicate securely and privately. Let's change the world.

Friends,
If you have seen my recent interview with Ramiro Romani then you know that I have recently purchased the "Above Phone" from Above Agency. This is a degoogled phone loaded with open source, decentralized app alternatives to the google, apple, microsoft versions most of us are accustomed to.
The best part of using this phone - besides greatly reducing my digital footprint and data leaking - is that Miriam and I are doing this entire tour of the United States without using google maps!
In the coming weeks I will be releasing a review of 3 privacy phones - the Above Phone, the Clear Phone, and the Purism Librem 5. I coincidentally ended up with 3 privacy phones at once so I am going to review them, choose the one I like the most and give away the other 2 to volunteers and attendees of The Activation Tour.
Stay tuned, thanks for the support!
