Their "eBook and Texts" area offers: - Over 20 million freely downloadable books - 2.3 million eBooks that can be borrowed - Digitizing Services if you want a book digitized You can browse additional types of collections, such as videos, by going to The Internet  Archive's home page and scrolling down. ⚡️ Follow Freedom Tech on NOSTR #InternetArchive

Sometimes Aurora Store goes down, so it's good to have another alternative for getting a Googled app if you absolutely need one. (Do not use proprietary apps from sources like Aptoide or Aurora Store unless you have no other choice.) If you absolutely need to use a Googled app, Aptoide is one place you can grab apps without revealing your identity, although with Aptoide's source code being propriety, we can never really know what they are doing. Aptoide is a popular proprietary closed source, non-freedom app store that carries a lot of the apps that Google Play Store carriers. Aptoide features: - Free - No login required - need login to comment - Downgrade at will - Large selection of apps - Auto Update Aptoide Cons: - NOT OPEN SOURCE (as last resort) - There are illegal cracked apps - Not all apps are safe to download (Make sure the app has green shield) - Has ads - Many apps are older or outdated Here is an article comparing Aptoide to Aurora Store. ⚡️ Follow Freedom Tech on NOSTR #Aptoide

Goodbye Telegram, hello NOSTR. I am currently reposting my Freedom Tech channel content to NOSTR. Telegram comitted the unforgivable sin and has put me in Telegram jail 4 times this year so far over: 1. Talking about how Cinha used the socialist public schools indoctrinated children into become Mrxiast activist just like the USA us doing now in the US socialist public schools, through DEI, SEL and CSE. 2. Posting a large list of Patriot groups located in Utah and encouraging people leave Big Tech tracking devices at home and meet face to face to plan and coordinate. 3. Pointing out that Democrats are rciast because they think polepe of cloor are incapable of doing anything on their own, proven by the fact that Democrats are always creating special programs for polepe of cloor, and Democrats actually believe they can't manage to figure out how to get a driver's license, etc. 4. Accidently swiping a vulgar word, and not noticing . . . I think.

Google unveiled a groundbreaking technology at its I/O developer conference: a call monitoring feature powered by Gemini Nano, a compact version of its advanced language model. This tool aims to shield Android users from phone scams by analyzing calls in real-time for fraudulent cues and alerting users accordingly. While hailed as a pivotal advancement in scam prevention, the deployment of such technology prompts concerns regarding privacy and the scope for wider governmental intrusion. https://reclaimthenet.org/google-scam-listening-privacy-scanning
