The corruption and perverting of Android apps into apps that groom children into a sinful lifestyle is one of the main reasons to get off of The Google Playstore now.
Don't let you kids have access to anything coming from Silicon Valley or Big Tech on their phones or computers.

Repost from Bones' Tech Garage
Still think you should keep on using Windows and the products of people who hate and cancel you? This could happen to anyone that disagrees with woke Microsoft.

What is an SSL certificate?
It is a certificate that can be verified as coming form a trusted source. They also come with an encryption key pair, or a public and a private key, just like PGP and GPG used for emails and other encryption needs.
How is the SSL certificate used?
1. Browser connects to a website secured with SSL. Browser requests that the server identify itself.
2. Server sends a copy of its SSL Certificate, including the server’s public key.
3. Browser checks the certificate root against a list of trusted CAs and that it is valid for the website that it is connecting to. If trustworthy it creates, encrypts, and sends back a symmetric session key using the server’s public key.
4. Server decrypts the symmetric session key using its private key and sends back an acknowledgement encrypted with the session key to start the encrypted session.
5. Server and Browser now encrypt all transmitted data with the session key.

Uninstall GNOME Desktop From Linux Mint
If you wish to uninstall GNOME Desktop from Linux Mint for any reason, then restart your system and choose any desktop environment other than GNOME and login to your system.
NOTE: Make sure you have another desktop environment installed and working before you remove Gnome Shell.
Now, run the following commands in order to uninstall GNOME Desktop:
sudo apt remove gnome-shell
sudo apt autoremove
The above commands will remove GNOME Desktop from your Linux Mint system, but you’ll also need to restore the default Linux Mint login manager.
Lightdm is the default display manager for Linux Mint, which was replaced by Gdm when you installed GNOME Desktop.
Reconfigure the default display manager back to Lightdm using the following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Finally, restart the system.
reboot
After restarting, you’ll see your old Linux Mint login manager and if you try to change desktop environment before login (by clicking on the icon next to your username), you’ll see that GNOME is no longer there.

The Gnome Project promotes racism against whites, sexism against males, and something to do with "cis"? I have no idea what "cis" means, and I don't care to know.
Time to migrate away from anything Gnome. There are so many options out there that work great. My personal favorite is Mate running Compiz, but Compiz's time is limited because it runs on XOrg/X11, and most desktop environments seem to be moving towards Wayland.
Here's a video form a couple years ago explaining the issue with the Gnome Project ant's extreme politics, and support of things like trans child grooming sickos.

Don't rely on email to be secure, even if it is end-to-end encrypted. Not even Proton Mail can solve the issues.

Microsoft, the owners of GitHub just announced they will be ending the Atom text editor project, and focusing on the Visual Studio Code text editor.
Do not use VS Code, instead use VSCodium, which is free of any Microsoft code.

Replace Google, MS 365 and/or iCloud with conservative, patriotic, LibertyStratus.
LibertyStratus is a Nextcloud provider that works the same as eCloud, but it is run by conservative Patriots out of Arizona, instead of Europeans in UK and Finland, who are probably socialists at heart.
LibertyStatus also affers email integration, which most Nextcloud providers don't offer.
Found them on Gab. Andrew Torba reposted them.
