The Linux Foundation's GM of their "Open Source Security Foundation" is a member of the World Economic Forum, and the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of the World Economic Forum.

[Forwarded from American Patriot] Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) "Here's a link for the gamers to read through: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-free-mmorpgs-run-natively-linux/" I wanted to let folks know I did some checking and was a long time gamer. Mostly given it up for other duties these days, but recently went back to it. I found one cool game that runs natively on Linux, a MMORGP (gamers know what I mean). It is called "Ryzom" - it has a stand alone game loader. If anyone is interested, I'll get the links for you. Here's the main link: https://www.ryzom.com" Go 👉 here, and scroll up/down for more posts about gaming in Linux. #MMORPG_MassiveRolePlay

. A new search engine is in the making!

. People in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming are very familiar with KSL classifieds. It is the primary trading place in Utah. The nice thing about KSL Classifieds is that it is set up to work in all states. Items have been listed as far away from Utah as Virginia. It's ready to go. All that people need to do is start using it. There are even apps for the Apple Store and Google Play. Unfortunately It is run by KSL News TV/Radio (NBC), which is a liberal leaning pretend to be conservative news channel. That means you can't advertise guns in their classifieds. Regardless, KSL Classified is a great alternative to Big Tech's much more liberal and oppessive, filth ridden FB Marketplace or Craigslist. This is the website: https://classifieds.ksl.com/ #KSL_Classifieds

. Gun Broker has been oppressed by Big Tech and kicked off of their app stores, so you have to use their website. Given Google's totalitarian stance on everything, it is best they don't know what guns people are buying anyways. Good riddance! Here is Gun Broker's website: https://www.gunbroker.com/ #GunBroker

[Forwarded from American Patriot] Here's a Rob Braxman video where he explains how to De-Google Android Phones. https://odysee.com/@RobBraxmanTech:6/de-googling-an-android-10-phone:a In the video Braxman says he couldn't find an open-source email app that works with GMail... but unknown to him, there is at least one. That app is called "FairEmail". But what's the point of De-Googling if you're going to use GMail anyways? #DeGoogle_Android_Phones_HowTo

There are 100's of Linux Distros out there, which may seem overwhelming and scary, but for all practical purposes, there are only 3 distros that most of the other distros are based on. The 3 Distros that most other Distros are based on are: - Debian - Arch - Red Hat/Fedora Sure there are a few other base distros, but they're not nearly as common, and best left to those more familiar with Linux. The best place to see which Linux distros are available is DistroWatch. This website has been around since the beginning of Linux and has not updated its look at all in 30-ish years, so get ready to be taken back to the 90's internet.

. Linux Mint snuck around behind Ubuntu's back and had a beautiful redheaded love child with Debian. That child's name is "Linux Mint Debian Edition" (LMDE). The usual Linux Mint options (Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce) are based on Ubuntu. To ensure that Linux Mint can survive if Ubuntu were to ever go away, Linux Mint maintains and offers LMDE, which brings some nice features, and comes with Cinnamon. - Debian still offers the 32-bit option, unlike Ubuntu, which means you can still get Linux Mint in a 32-bit version, but you must get the LM Debian Edition. - LM Debian Edition is more of a rolling distro, so your software will be more up to date/cutting edge. - Possibly less bugs, since it comes straight from Debian and bypasses any bugs that may get introduced by Ubuntu. You can find the LM Debian Edition by going to the "Downloads" menu option and looking under "Other Versions". It is currently called "LMDE 4".
