It’s funny, because as invested as I was in sports (unhealthily), all it took was some dumb fuck named Colin Kapernick (dgaf how it’s sp), started kneeling for the National Anthem and he was made to be “stunning and brave” by the propagates known as MSM. After that, it got easier and easier with the increased SJW bs overtaking the sporting events themselves. I don’t even think about that bs anymore, and I’ve invested that time in reading, lifting, running, ruck marching, and turning my body into a soy pummeling, WMD for pussy ass leftists. I’d suggest all pats start lifting and getting your bodies strong and in good shape. It will also increase your mental fitness. It’s a win, win.
Exactly, have read over 100 books since dropping cable, started making healthy meals, paid off debt and have hiking in the woods, working out and taking target practice. Will add the ruck sack.

Same here. Maybe if more stop I won't have to get into as many awkward conversations pretending to give a shit about my local teams. Sports are fine if you are playing them but never saw the appeal of watching on TV. Especially the kind of people that spend an entire football game screaming and jumping up and down like hyperactive children. Its so cringe.
Same here. I have learned just to smile and agree with everything they say, along with non-committal superlative expressions. Generally works well unless they try to get into a deep conversation about it.
When I had cable included with my rent for a while, I would hook up my TV(a small CRT someone had given me) 0-2 times per year to watch the superbowl or world series.
It's an open source search engine that protects your privacy and let you use all famous search engines, such as Google, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, without letting them track your searches. You also get paid in cryptocurrency PRE for searching, meaning you make money, instead of BigTech companies 😀
You can also also run your own public search indexers and making more money. This ensures no company can manipulate the searches as it's decentralized and a open protocol that everyone can use 😀
I thought Signal was compromised? Heard something about the CEO being a raging Democrat, might be wrong, that could've been Telegram? I'm on neither as of yet.
Most unarmed fights end on the ground. If you've never grappled find a gym and take a class! Amazing workout, great stuff to know, and as a bonus it makes UFC way more interesting.
The CEO of the UFC, Dana White, is friends with Trump. White supported Trump, telling people to vote for him. Also, a lot of fighters, thought not all of them, are fans of Trump. Jorge Masvidal, and Colby Covington are supporters of Trump.
The Gab phone will really just be an OS. They aren’t making hardware. The Gab OS will be Android based, but with all the Google tech stripped out. Like a bare bones Android with some custom Gab-themed UX. They may end up selling pre-loaded phones, but they will be your standard Samsungs, Motorolas and other Android compatible models.
I’m a huge fan of Gab.. And I will be lined up to get this new OS as soon as they release it. But I also try to help them manage expectations where I can. If everyone is expecting them to release all new hardware and they don’t, that could potentially be a let-down that hurts their reputation. Especially when people see that it’s Android based and assume that means it’s a Google phone... I try to explain things like this when I see the opportunity so people will know what to expect.
I never saw anything outside the initial video announcement. Did they say it was just an OS? From the look of the video it seemed like an entirely new phone
The phone thing is by far the biggest challenge on this list. There could be a whole nother thread dedicated to how to pull that off.
I mean if you really think about it, the only reason you'd need a Apple/Google phone is for the support for all the apps and games. A Linux phone will run calls/SMS/web browser just fine, and GPS will still work for maps and navigation.
Do what I'm doing. I'm deep sixing my iPhone, replacing it with a Punkt phone, and buying a tablet for home use. You keep in line with tech trends without carrying around tracking device.
Also: cellphone goes in a Faraday Bag when not in use.
Gab's is GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, and you can get a Pixel 3a and rom it yourself right now. As far as actual use goes, it will be FAR more usable than the Librem. I did it with a Pixel.
The Librem is a computer in the size of a phone, only useful for Linux nerds like myself - and even then... not very. May as well get the cheaper PinePhone devkits.
As far as physical switches, that's good, but a faraday sleeve should suffice.
Edit: I'll be making howto's for all this alt-tech stuff soon on www.conservativehomepage.com - my day job is that website, with a side of IT edu for seniors. I should be able to educate some pedes :)
Graphene is VERY usable. You can even anonymously get things from the Play store for the apps you have to have. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to free themselves from Google.
As someone whose rooted phones for a decade, this is the smart answer. OR a One Plus phone, because they support nearly all their current and old phones back a couple years. I would honestly suggest the Nord N10 5G as their latest cheaper phone of the 2020's or the 8T/Plus/Pro for a flagship. They're all root-able, and XDA supports the latest android OS with nightlies.
I've been hesitant to screw around with my main phone since I need it to earn my paycheck. Maybe I will buy a phone to root and try AOSP.
(I was going to root a Kindle not long ago, but I found Fire Toolbox and I stripped the Kindle down to look like just plain android with the launcher and apps I want.)
This. Hate to say it, but any Pixel, OnePlus or HTC will be perfect when you root, rom, and install LineageOS. All phones are less than 800 and have way better specs for longevity.
Avoid the Pixel 2 XL. Google nerfed the USB connection in an update so the bootloader can't be unlocked. It's a shame because good condition phones are available cheap and parts are easy to come by. Everything else plugged into the USB port works fine except for the ADB mode needed to run commands on the bootloader.
At least test the usb connection in recovery mode before you buy one.
This!! Local farming is the best way to support local communities and reduce the oil footprint that comes along with transporting your food a great distance.

I've begun migrating from Gmail to ProtonMail and it feels amazing to unsubscribe from email subscriptions and cleaning out your old folders. Clean and lean for my email all the way from now on.
Use a productivity tool such as "Freedom" to Blacklist (and block) all these websites on your computer.
It makes them impossible to access. Then you can relax without using any effort or decision making to prevent entering these through links or impulse. You just reach a "site cannot be found" page.
Both websites and apps will be blocked.
Maybe you can add these pages to a firewall or use an even more effective program to block them.
Willpower easily fails and people will still enter these sites by accident.
Use Freedom or find another app/program to Block these pages and apps. Maybe a firewall program can do it aswell.
Recommendation:
As a business idea this would be awesome, just making an app or program that blocks these websites and apps from the system (computer/phone). Let's BLACKLIST these bitches.
I have one for business and one I've had since 2007. Currently using my old one to spread truth because I have over 1k friends who see it. It's been really fun lately. I'm on my last leg with that one, I want to go out in a blaze of glory. I want to say "they kicked me off Instagram and Facebook for saying Trump rox!"
We need to accelerate the betterment of alternative media.
If anyone on gab, or bitchute, etc. is reading this, creating a "Package" of high quality alternative media, Syxhexxenhammer, the Quartering, Mark dice, etc. will help people have a reason to come to your site. Be the ANTI youtube. Give the people what they want, make it easy, be BETTER than youtube. DOn't be something people settle for. Form a unique identity around truth and free speech.
Make it easy for people wanting alternative content to get alternative content. create INCENTIVES for exclusive content. Get the viewer involved, make this a movement. Money to the platform = directly fixing our society and giving a voice to truth tellers and entertaining people.
Make this a movement, give it a face, give it a purpose.
Probably the most concise 8-10 minute videos that one could watch and be better informed afterwards. Some retards around here think that's he's just some satanists moron. They've clearly never spent 1 minute to watch him and derived their prejudice from his moniker.
Who gives a shit, he doesn't rape goats or sacrifice animals. There are shitty people of all faiths. There are fantastic and good people of all faiths.
Salty I would say is a strong contender top spot too. He may not have the same insightful commentary, but he's no intellectual slouch either, and has lots of great insights. His energy is unrivaled. They're all fucking good.
This boycott movement will never work unless we spread the message BEYOND this site. Obviously everyone on this site is based. But how do we turn the outage of 80 million people into something tangible?
In the short term I don’t see many people leaving anything on the list except maybe Facebook. We need Newsmax to help us out. But they won’t.
The one "platform" that leftist scum can't ban you from is physically gluing / taping / stapling posters to walls and buildings.
Idiotic (and financially desperate) journalists often boost your signal by reporting on the posters, spreading your message even further. They can't help themselves because they need the ad revenue to stay afloat and their audiences are outrage addicts.
I’m creating a barebones website and doing grassroots campaigning to promote a podcast and blog in my area. Fliers on windshields, on doors, in newspaper tubes, etc.
Best way to beat big tech and reaching a bigger audience is by finding another playing field that they can’t censor you on
I just finished the .html yesterday and sent it to some close friends who are to provide feedback. I haven’t looked at hosting yet, but that’s the next step. It looks like Epik is committed to free speech. Not sure about anonymity, but that’s something I will look at.
You might be able to buy a pre-paid credit card with cash and use that to pay for the hosting (and simply give fake personal details). Not that Epik has any ill intention towards patriots and nationalists but you never know who might hack them or what corrupt government agency might legally force them to hand over data.
If you do discover a bulletproof way to host a site for free and anonymously please let me know! I can also recommend this free hosting site that I used to make this NPC generator. They never asked for personal info or payment, and if you're hosting a simple HTML website it should work well. Only problem is if the link dies your hardcopy ads won't point to it anymore. I recommend putting a main link on your posters and then smaller text below saying "if that link dies, try these:".
Take a bit of chalk with you and whenever you have a moment, scratch a message. Really spooks commies because it suggests widespread support and gets around their tech oligarchy
Bring a short step ladder and post up higher. Don't need more than a 2 footer.
More space there and it makes removal and paste overs harder.
A local office supply or art store probably has a plastic lamination service to make things waterproof, but if it's letter size, you can easily buy one of your own.
Bonus tip: learn a basic parkour wall jump, use a running start and you can get stuff very high on a wall without bringing a ladder with you (though pasting it is a bit harder, a good slap with the right adhesive already on the back can work though). Most leftie fat asses will just stay firmly on the ground staring up in rage at your message unable to reach it.
Construction Cement from your local hardware store is the right adhesive.
There is a lot to choose from. Polyurethane versions take longer to dry, but hold good.
Sometimes the best approach is two. One that grabs fast, but is weak and the other that dries slow, but is almost forever. Don't mix the two, just apply to different parts of the item you want to glue.
Wear gloves when working with the good stuff, it's hard to get off your phone.
Very crafty, so apply enough of the instant tack stuff near the corners to hold it in place with one slap while the slower drying but more permanent stuff in the middle finishes the job.
Someone should tell OP that Android is owned by Google.
This sounds nice in theory (and most of this is doable) but we need face the fact that we will be unable to completely remove all these companies from our lives. Apple and Google are the only two mobile operating system companies in existence that aren't literally funded by the CCP (yes I'm looking at you Huawei)
What I'm saying is that Google owns the entire Android Operating System; yes, it's open source, but it's developed and maintained primarily by Google developers.
Lineage OS is not an alternative to Android, it is based off of it
Are there any UNIX based mobile operating systems that aren't Android?
perhaps some techies can comment, but my understanding with cell phones is, worrying about the OS for privacy is akin to worrying about votes on a dominion machine. every's phone's baseband is closed source and is most likely the first means of reading everything on your phone, it does not matter what OS you run
perhaps, i wouldn't put it past the alphabet agencies to do just that. there are phones that hardware separate the baseband and memory though such as the pinephone. i believe @nekroziz uses one, and he may have some insight into this.
That is correct. The baseband, which is like the firmware that runs the modem, is closed source. The new basebands probably have all the spyware they need since OS'es can be changed on phones now. They can still track your location with the cell service providers. You would need your own closed network like the cartels have in Mexico
bingo. thats why i gave up going with phones with "privacy" os. the same thing exists on pcs/servers where the closed source management engine has full access to the memory and effectively, makes encryption useless.
Which is why Russia decided to stop using Intel/x86, because they know the US Govt can compel big tech to give them backdoors/access to any system with a subpoena, the same way they shut down Snowden's previous email provider and forced him to provide the encryption key with a court order
If patriots.win was based off of Reddit, then yes patriots.win IS Reddit.
A codebase as mature as Android (and Reddit) will easily have 100,000+ source code files. Just because Google (and Reddit) are no longer modifying the codebase doesn't mean all of their features have been removed once the code has been forked.
It is very possible that there are legacy features within LineageOS that still contact Google servers.
You should do research before spouting nonsense. LineageOS's souce code includes a number of references to Google including:
Extensive use of Google's protobuff utility
Annotations that Google developers own whole modules of the system
References to "use_google_mail"
Specific examples of use of Google services:
core/java/andriod/content/Intent.java (line 1366) - the Android system performs text searches through the Google search engine
core/java/android/content/ContentResolver.java (line 2967) - a TODO statement recognizing the need to remove references to Google (a TODO is a coding practice of documenting tasks that still need to be completed)
This is all from a cursory evaluation of the OS. I'm not saying that LineageOS is bad, but it's not the answer to a Google-free lifestyle #checkmate
Edit: you can downvote me all you'd like but it doesn't change the fact that you're full of shit #getwrekd
I haven't tried to order yet.
If they don't deliver to US (prices are in Euros), I was just going to order a refurbished phone here, and then follow their install steps.
(I want the S9+ too) I use an iPhone for work and my personal is an android, so I'll be able to put both sims in the new phone and say screw u too both Apple and Google.
I’m looking at LineageOS compatible phones to dump my iPhone 6 (lol) for. The internet privacy guy has some good videos endorsing it. It may be worth a try since a compatible moto g7 is like $130.
we'll learn the illegitimi. Voting was just a pleasant of way of refuting their lunacy. But if we have to collapse every one of your CCP mouthpiece puppet businesses, we will. Full on economic war.
The Brave on-boarding experience is really great. It allows you to migrate all your chrome data in on-click, and supports multiple profiles. It's built on Chromium, so its basically the exact same thing as Chrome without all the garbage.
Brave's CEO is Brendan Eich, the man who created javascript. He was fired from Firefox and blacklisted from silicon valley for donating to conservative and traditional marriage political campaigns in California. He's an OG big-tech cancel victim.
From the NYT:
Supporters of the Brave project have recently used the company’s Reddit page to express concern about Mr. Eich’s outspoken views about the virus, with some suggesting he should give up his role as C.E.O.
“He was asked to leave Mozilla because he couldn’t keep his right-wing opinions to himself,” one user on Reddit wrote. “Now he’s doing the same thing at the helm of Brave.”
I knew about his ousting from Mozilla for his donations to traditional marriage. I did not know until now that he's also gotten static for questioning the shamdemic. This man gets more based the more I hear about him.
I want to use brave, but coming from Firefox there's so little customization. No bookmark dropdown menu, no configurable layout, no quick change search engine (you can type a prefix in the search bar, but that's not convenient for quickly searching the same thing using multiple engines.
Check out DistroTube, he has great videos on how to use and get started with Linux. He's also on Odysee which is a big plus! - https://odysee.com/@DistroTube:2
Linux mint is free and a no brainer. Anybody a little nervous about leaving crapple or Microsoft can install it on a flash drive and try it out within minutes.
It took me about a week to figure out all the Mint features and fix it on my HP laptop (came with windows 10) but I love it now. I use the Cinnamon version
Tails is good but it doesn't have persistence - meaning any changes that you made or anything that you saved will be lost when you reboot. So it's not great for an everyday driver.
For an everyday driver I'd use Linux Mint. For one off projects / travelling / something of high security I'd choose Tails.
That's kinda like asking if unplugging your pc then throwing it in the trash can. Moving to the woods and living in a cave is the most secure option. The adventure is obviously yes. But is that really how far you want to go? Tails is a very secure operating system. But it's very overkill for day to day use.
Tails is the most secure, but it's a huge PITA. Massive overkill for 99.9% of life, I've used it but it's definitely not a primary OS, more of a USB drive you keep on hand for as-needed ultra-privacy.
Believe it or not, you can use facebook without giving Zuck the cuck your City, state, zip, Gps coordinates, Dob, place of employment, entire family tree, and SSN.
With Odysee you can sync your youtube channel thus making transferring it easy for a lot of people. I'm thinking so long as we get the word out more channels will use that convenient feature to add their videos and build up the alternate platform. It's win-win for the creators and us.
I didn't just quit my twitter. I deleted 100% of every tweet and like. https://tweetdeleter.com worked for me. Someone here chortled like I'm being paranoid but that wasn't my point (tho, you may not want those tweets saved by twitter) but I have to believe if they see content deleted everywhere that has to suck for them. Why leave them free content to brag about?
I still have a Facebook and I annoys me but I have 7 relatives who only use Facebook but what I did do what take an hour to DELETE nearly ever single past post manually and then disconnected from every group or followed page and Facebook is basically now only for sending messages to those 7 people.
Here again, I'm not an internet geek but maybe someone here knows: wouldn't it suck for them if everyone is deleting facebook posts, likes, photos etc etc? It seems to me that IS what they sell and make money for?
I still have a Youtube Channel (two actually) but what I started doing was posting videos at Bitchute and Newtube FIRST and more often. Later, some go on youtube.
I just found out that Discord cucked the fuck out and joined Democrats and Leftists as a propaganda wing that will delete and censor conservative types and I remembered i do have a discord so... .. yep, that is now deleted. Delete Account not the other temporary thing.
Again, I'm not a big internet geek but it seems to me it doesn't matter as much if you just 'don't use it anymore'. The thing is to actually entirely permanently choose 'Delete' and end the account entirely yes?
Canceled Netflix when it started showing leftist BLM porn and found out they were promoting anti-conservative bullshit but that was years ago. IF there is something on Netflix you really really want to see that badly then its somewhere else on the internet anyway.
Even before this I was deleting some old unused accounts, some twitter account I long since forgot about but why have it and why let them count that as a user for cash? Right, delete doubles and backup accounts.
Again, I'm not a net geek but isn't that how they make money? They boast having Xmillion members, the more members (accounts) the more money invested and more adverts bought etc? I assume they include the 1000s and maybe millions of unused old twitter accounts you forgot about but are technically still counted. WHy give them that freebie?
Personal recommendation: I've always found Bitchute takes way way too long to load up videos but recently I found https://newtube.app/media/popular/1?media=all&category=overview&within=24hour Newtube.app via the browser/PC (haven't tried on phone) but so far its really fast for me, it seems to work well. I have no relation to Newtube or any investment or channel I need promoted so I'm just saying my viewer experience. I hope they don't become cucked assholes but so far they seem very pro-free speech .
I have cut everything but Amazon. I don't really have an alternative to this other than Walmart and I fucking hate Walmart. Netflix is tough but steal that shit with torrents.
This is helpful! Thanks for including this. It's going to be a frustrating life in comparison to amazon's on-demand life. But that's the fight, at least I'm not freezing in the cold fighting the british.
Amazon was hard for me, too. I'm not necessary a fan of Walmart, but I hate Amazon more; lesser of two evils, you know? The new Walmart+ is very impressive and, so far, it's been a very viable replacement for Amazon. I quit Amazon on January 12 and so far, so good. That may not sound like much, but last year, I had over 500 orders. That's an average of more than 1 a day, so my dependence on Amazon was pretty severe. It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm proud of myself; I feel like I kicked cigarettes!
Walmart is worse. They're the biggest porpornent of the whole mask Nazi bullshit.. I'd rather dump Walmarts anti American Chinese manufacturing butts over Amazon. Who's owner is a cuck but the site mainly is just a platform for anyone. Including millions of Americans. To sell their goods.
I need to buy the same box of cereal, the same soap, and the same laundry detergent no matter where I shop. I understand (and appreciate!) what you're saying, but what Amazon did to Parler is one of the most-egregious, anti-American, anti-free-speech actions I've seen taken by any company in this country, ever. Nothing Walmart has ever done comes close to that, in my opinion.
I support lots of other businesses, too, but I needed to immediately replace my Amazon shopping habits with any realistic, viable alternative and Walmart fits the bill for me and maybe others. Right now, my desire to help anyone that I can (including myself) get off Amazon beats any misgivings I have about Walmart.
You're right; there's definitely an argument to be made that maybe Amazon.com shouldn't be punished for what AWS does, but I figure a decision like what was done to Parler must have gone all the way to the top so my two cents is that none of the conglomerate is innocent. I'm just so horrified about what happened, it's hard for me to give them any benefit of the doubt.
Incidentally: it's funny, because a long time ago, I had a simple, pure, free market ideology and was generally opposed to most anti-monopoly ways of thinking, but I've changed over the years (especially during the last year or two). I think Amazon should be broken up (the entity that runs AWS should be an entirely different company than the entity that runs the retail site, for example). Same with Alphabet. The search engine (Google), the video site (YouTube), the phone company (Android)... those all need to be broken apart. I feel a bit like a hypocrite for adopting this way of thinking, but what can I say? I have a new appreciation of the dangers/risks that can come with zero controls over this sort of thing.
Cut prime, use it without paying the subscription. Also, all the big stores (Target, home depot, best buy, etc.) will match amazon prices. I very rarely buy from amazon these days, and usually only when literally no one else has what I need.
I tried so hard to get some kind of IPTV service working with Plex or Kodi on a Nvidia Shield 4K TV and could just never get it to work... and I'm far more tech savvy than most, but it just never worked right. I ended up just going back to my Apple TV and settling for using PlutoTV, whatever comes in for free on the "channels" app (I think that's the one, anyway) that's built into LG's TvOS, and using my brother's cable credentials to log into certain channels apps (most offer a "live TV" option — unfortunately, even though they have a live streaming app w/ all channels, it won't work unless at my brother's house/connected to his wifi)
It's been ten years since I've had cable and I can no longer tolerate the commercials on free streaming TV. My ex really enjoyed Sling for a while but I hated having to pay them and still watch commercials. I have over-the-air HD TV with good signal from all the network channels for free and I never turn it on for that reason (it's for emergencies or I guess some super special TV event that I would never know about if it happened, hah)
I have 2 Vizio TVs and they came with Plex apps already installed, but I use the Roku streaming stick (cheap) on one for a better experience. Plex also works on a Kindle Fire TV stick (cheaper) plugged right into an HDMI port (like the Roku) on the side of your TV.
I run the Plex server on my main desktop PC and it's mostly flawless. (I recommend wired ethernet from the server PC to your modem).
Kodi didn't suit my needs, but Plex has been easy for anyone in the house to use. I used to have Plex, Netflix, and Amazon Prime apps sitting next to each other but now I'm down to just Plex.
If you're going to consume TV media, it's the best way to go, as far as I can tell. It's free, and has ads. Way better than paying $100/month and still have ads. It also carries Real America's Voice (Bannon), OAN Encore, Newsmax (whatever).
If you're going to be absolutist about every media company, then there's always TPB/torrents.
Their corporate structure is multinational which makes for an extra step to file legal paperwork, but don't confuse friction with impossibility. They are in Australia and that country doesn't have friendly privacy laws, but the servers are in the U.S., with its own issues, so know the possible problems before you buy.
They contribute back to the email software community as well making them a good network citizen.
Fastmail focuses on email.
They do have a few side features including calendar and storage, if you need it, but unlike google or microsoft they are not moving in a hundred different directions at once.
Can't really comprehensively cancel them. I still have to support Microsoft for instance, because Windows. Kind of not even an option, everything is made for Windows first and foremost.
Phone too. Even if I were an iPhone user, I'd have to switch to Android/Google as someone that relies heavily on smartphones. Discord is...not required, but as a gamer, it's close to severing your off hand maybe.
Some other problem points up there, but I'll work on what's feasible. Fact is some of these entities have made themselves borderline essential. Not the trivial shit like sports, TikTok or Instagram of course. Easy cancels there, unless you're a sports addict maybe.
I've been in IT for a decade and on / off with Linux for much of that time. I don't know how your basic person would "really" survive on even ubuntu day to day.
I can set it up for someone and they can do the basic install / uninstall. But it's like taking 15 years back to Vista with "ease of use". I'm all ubuntu now with exception of very specific windows only tools that I can't wine.
I think there's still work arounds. I'm just beginning to dabble in it myself. Hopefully someone more experienced with crypto can chip in with their thoughts and advice.
There are ATMs (or at least used to be), and you can buy it for cash on the darknet.
You can also launder bitcoin, where you send btc to a mixer, and get random amounts adding up to nearly what you sent from several other accounts - this breaks the tracking. Assuming the mixer isn't compromised. A similar version of this uses online casinos to decouple your tracked bitcoins from your known wallet to an anonymous wallet.
But you need to keep your laundered bitcoins completely separate from your personally-ID'd bitcoins, and you need to be careful with your laundered bitcoins. It's a huge PITA and not really worth it unless you're buying drugs on the darkweb - but if you look up tutorials provided by darkweb dealers for buyers they'll walk you through all of this. Intellectually, I find it all fascinating.
There's a podcast I subscribed to called Darknet Diaries and they interview a bunch of people who ran online drug rings on the dark net and made money through bitcoin and the operation became fairly sophisticated.
The guy eventually got caught but only because of a snitch, not because of dealing in crypto or not covering his tracks well. I think it was episode #81. darknetdiaries.com
I also explore lots of survivalist and prepper communities and get some of my information from those sites.
There's always work arounds. But like Twitter. Facebook and Gab. The left pushes very strongly, what they can control and 90% of the sheeple don't question it.
I've been buying and trading bitcoin since it literally nothing. Something to be given away using u/bitcointip on Reddit or mined then deleted because "what the hell am I going to do with 20 of these bitcoin garbage coins.."
I've watched it change over time. From a nice anonymous currency to a government regulated pile of garbage used to siphon money away from unsuspecting individuals and move them to corporations who are controlling it.
It's just like RobinHood. Hundreds of millions of people downloaded that app. Threw $10 at it. Lost almost all. That's billions of dollars. Just siphoned from the individuals and given to the big companies who employ the skilled stock traders to take all the money.
Lots of people struck it rich with BTC. Don't get me wrong. It's less of a scam vs RobinHood but. Don't be fooled. It's just as regulated and tracked.
Use Google Takeout to download all your Google emails, photos, docs, etc. onto a hard drive. Then DELETE your Google account. Get a ProtonMail account instead. Facebook will allow you to download your data before deleting, also.
After having google lock me out of one gmail account because my refusal to enter in my phone number, I am going to back up everything and abandon old gmail accounts.
Also Telegram is a good choice. DJT's channel has 842 471 subscribers now.
Link: https://t.me/real_DonaldJTrump - "(Unofficial — ownership transfer pending)"
If you're in central Florida there's a new group popping up in Orlando. FRA its a grass roots group not associated with the MAJOR Republican troops.
One of their big objectives is using tech to create a database of LOCAL mom and pop businesses, in addition to the big ones that are MAGA friendly to let people know where their money should be spent.
Edit: These men explained it last night better than I but imagine all the right legal means that political registers can have. But making it MAGA only. This is basically a Trump Party without being called a Trump Party
This is all a real pain in the ass to do, and I am going to do it ALL! Starting right now. And I am as normie as you can get. Honestly, I'm like your middle aged auntie just without all the cats. If I can do this anyone can.
I stopped cable long ago. Am working on deleting FB. Next will be IG (neither of which I use).
I have already stopped Amazon. I bought an item for 20 dollars direct and paid $10 shipping.
If I bought from Amazon I would have saved on the shipping, but fuck Amazon.
If I must pay higher prices, I will. if I must pay more to ship I will. I will also now be more discerning about how I spend, and will buy fewer made in China garbage items, and more made in USA. I will also buy fewer higher quality items.
I urge you guys to buy an extra hard drive and install Linux on it. Windows 10 is basically spyware. You don't have to entirely abandon windows. You can setup your computer to prompt you to boot to Linux or Windows on startup. You can slowly transition to Linux. Lots of information online to help you learn it. It's not drastically different, but much better in many ways. Get that creep Bill Gates out of your life.
Another good option for people that want to just test Linux out is to get something like VMPlayer, and install Linux as a virtual machine that you can boot into from your Windows session. It's great to have just to tool around in, or if you need to do sensitive online stuff like online banking (not having to worry nearly as much about viruses/spyware.)
Check out the /e/ Project. /e/ is a complete, fully “deGoogled”, mobile ecosystem. /e/OS is an open-source mobile operating system paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.
Honestly as someone who has used social media since Myspace days - over 15 years ago, my life has been SO much better without it. I do have a few things I use but I hardly open them, but getting rid of twitter/facebook/removing apps that I have to log in on my computer only to use - I have all this time that I was wasting given back to me for a more meaningful life.
If anyone is looking for some healthy habits to replace social media, pursue that thing you feel guilty about not doing it and FUCKING DO IT.
Last year I wanted to read more -> I didn't.
This year I'm doing a Stoic study because I believe it's the ultimate philosophy to guide your life and reading 12 Rules for Life in addition and it's so much better than seeing people's posts that I haven't seen in 8 years on a facebook feed.
:) free your mind from the shackles of Big Brother.
When lots of us started asking for this in 2014 and others even earlier everyone laughed cause they liked their little addictions too much. Now that you've all built an uncontrollable monster your wanting everyone to jump to help. This is everyone's fault that made them what they are now. How many links a day do I see to these platforms? Each one earning them more money. We chose comfort and convenience over our country. Now the consequences are coming. Suck it up , some of us prepared for this.
Since my parents' double passing (horrendous end to an already totally f-cked 2020 - dad's only sister dies October, mid November mom's late sister's husband passed, then 11/24 MY dad dies in the nursing home, his one remaining sibling my namesake uncle in AZ dies of pneumonia on 12/12 then I find MY mother dead here at the home in which I lived/caregived/now dealing with neverending estate madness).
I NEVER watch tv and waiting to ship back the boxed-up DirecTV equipment I canceled (why keep paying for that crap?) BUT prior to dad going to the nursing home he purchased a sweet 55" LG 4K 'smart' tv and lately have been fiddling with the web-based components and found out the hard way this particular model does NOT support PlutoTV (2012-2015 and now starting in 2020 do, just not this one) nor USTV247.tv. And as it is WebOS (a linux derivative I guess?) based, will neither support 'sideloaded' 3rd party apps dammit. Any good ideas on free streaming CONSERVATIVE apps/channels for the tv? If any clever techies on here I'd LOVE to know some secrets - without having to go the 'rooting' route and possibly f-ck up the tv permanently - to get the GOOD stuff. FireStick? Roku?
Good. Getting people to give up an addiction is difficult, they need a replacement, which is what you included.
As for sports, I think participant sports are best. Golf is superior to football. Not because it is per se, but more golf fans play than football fans (at least as adults). The spectator should not be inspired to eat more chips, but to act.
I’m stoked that not watching sports is officially patriotic
It's easy when you never did!
It’s funny, because as invested as I was in sports (unhealthily), all it took was some dumb fuck named Colin Kapernick (dgaf how it’s sp), started kneeling for the National Anthem and he was made to be “stunning and brave” by the propagates known as MSM. After that, it got easier and easier with the increased SJW bs overtaking the sporting events themselves. I don’t even think about that bs anymore, and I’ve invested that time in reading, lifting, running, ruck marching, and turning my body into a soy pummeling, WMD for pussy ass leftists. I’d suggest all pats start lifting and getting your bodies strong and in good shape. It will also increase your mental fitness. It’s a win, win.
Exactly, have read over 100 books since dropping cable, started making healthy meals, paid off debt and have hiking in the woods, working out and taking target practice. Will add the ruck sack.
Yep. Did an organic garden that did so well I fed several families.
You rock! Don’t forget to support your local library too!

You just told my life story.
I was in good shape already, but used the lockdowns to take it to a new level and am back in college shape.
Thats awesome
Post of the year. Great post. 🇺🇸
Same here. Maybe if more stop I won't have to get into as many awkward conversations pretending to give a shit about my local teams. Sports are fine if you are playing them but never saw the appeal of watching on TV. Especially the kind of people that spend an entire football game screaming and jumping up and down like hyperactive children. Its so cringe.
Same here. I have learned just to smile and agree with everything they say, along with non-committal superlative expressions. Generally works well unless they try to get into a deep conversation about it.
I was a huge sports fan.
Was...........
Same, watched 1 nfl game this year (this first thursday night game)
couldn't stand the pre game. No one talking about the game, only SJW bull shit.
about 20min in, during the game they were still making all this political correctness stuff..... and haven't looked back since.
Thought I'd give Hockey a try, and they were promoting the same BS.... smh
Baseball did the stupid racist anthem, done
NBA is obviously unwatchable
College Football luckily didn't get watched once either, but at least their coaches were standing up to the BLM BS
It's actually pretty nice getting so much stuff done, now that I'm not consumed by it from Thursday-Monday
College Football was saved by Trevor Lawrence standing up to the Covid tyrants. He's the main reason we even had a season. Nebraska helped too.
I'd like to say I've gotten more done, but I've been so involved in the political debate that I've actually gotten less done.
When I had cable included with my rent for a while, I would hook up my TV(a small CRT someone had given me) 0-2 times per year to watch the superbowl or world series.
So I watched them, just not often.
Another great choice in search engine is https://presearch.org/signup?rid=2060912 ❗❗
It's an open source search engine that protects your privacy and let you use all famous search engines, such as Google, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, without letting them track your searches. You also get paid in cryptocurrency PRE for searching, meaning you make money, instead of BigTech companies 😀
You can also also run your own public search indexers and making more money. This ensures no company can manipulate the searches as it's decentralized and a open protocol that everyone can use 😀
I have been patriotic all my life if that's the case lol.
I thought Signal was compromised? Heard something about the CEO being a raging Democrat, might be wrong, that could've been Telegram? I'm on neither as of yet.
Okay. It must've been Telegram that was "compromised", because I believe Elon Musk recommended both of them.
Okay, then that was the one I was probably thinking of.
Telegram isn’t compromised and has a ton of based accounts with based info to follow.
Telegram was compromised during the Syrian civil war for sure. Signal so far not that we know of yet.
source?
Haha, same here. Although the American Cornhole tournie was on the other day. A bunch of viking chads tossing beanbags. ;)
Most unarmed fights end on the ground. If you've never grappled find a gym and take a class! Amazing workout, great stuff to know, and as a bonus it makes UFC way more interesting.
The CEO of the UFC, Dana White, is friends with Trump. White supported Trump, telling people to vote for him. Also, a lot of fighters, thought not all of them, are fans of Trump. Jorge Masvidal, and Colby Covington are supporters of Trump.
Fat fucks watch sports. Fit fucks workout or play them.
Cancel bullshit email subscriptions. Don’t let them spam their shit into your life.
Also, Gab is going to make a phone, hold off on phone purchases until we get one that does what we want.
Buy from local farms.
The Gab phone will really just be an OS. They aren’t making hardware. The Gab OS will be Android based, but with all the Google tech stripped out. Like a bare bones Android with some custom Gab-themed UX. They may end up selling pre-loaded phones, but they will be your standard Samsungs, Motorolas and other Android compatible models.
I’m aware.
I’m a huge fan of Gab.. And I will be lined up to get this new OS as soon as they release it. But I also try to help them manage expectations where I can. If everyone is expecting them to release all new hardware and they don’t, that could potentially be a let-down that hurts their reputation. Especially when people see that it’s Android based and assume that means it’s a Google phone... I try to explain things like this when I see the opportunity so people will know what to expect.
I never saw anything outside the initial video announcement. Did they say it was just an OS? From the look of the video it seemed like an entirely new phone
thank you, i appreciate the info!
The phone thing is by far the biggest challenge on this list. There could be a whole nother thread dedicated to how to pull that off. I mean if you really think about it, the only reason you'd need a Apple/Google phone is for the support for all the apps and games. A Linux phone will run calls/SMS/web browser just fine, and GPS will still work for maps and navigation.
GPS receiver? What about maps data and navigation? Garmin gets maps from Here (msft) and, probably, they are also woke.
That's what I'm saying. GPS will run just fine. I'm sure there are open source/non-woke maps out there.
Who cares about a devoted GPS receiver? All it does is track when you ask it to. Your phone is tracking you all the time.
Do what I'm doing. I'm deep sixing my iPhone, replacing it with a Punkt phone, and buying a tablet for home use. You keep in line with tech trends without carrying around tracking device.
Also: cellphone goes in a Faraday Bag when not in use.
Gab's is GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, and you can get a Pixel 3a and rom it yourself right now. As far as actual use goes, it will be FAR more usable than the Librem. I did it with a Pixel.
The Librem is a computer in the size of a phone, only useful for Linux nerds like myself - and even then... not very. May as well get the cheaper PinePhone devkits.
As far as physical switches, that's good, but a faraday sleeve should suffice.
Edit: I'll be making howto's for all this alt-tech stuff soon on www.conservativehomepage.com - my day job is that website, with a side of IT edu for seniors. I should be able to educate some pedes :)
Graphene is VERY usable. You can even anonymously get things from the Play store for the apps you have to have. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to free themselves from Google.
Maybe just put AOSP to Google Pixel 4a then?
As someone whose rooted phones for a decade, this is the smart answer. OR a One Plus phone, because they support nearly all their current and old phones back a couple years. I would honestly suggest the Nord N10 5G as their latest cheaper phone of the 2020's or the 8T/Plus/Pro for a flagship. They're all root-able, and XDA supports the latest android OS with nightlies.
That is a good idea!
I've been hesitant to screw around with my main phone since I need it to earn my paycheck. Maybe I will buy a phone to root and try AOSP.
(I was going to root a Kindle not long ago, but I found Fire Toolbox and I stripped the Kindle down to look like just plain android with the launcher and apps I want.)
$2K for a phone is not an easy decision, especially for a TFT display and 32GB flash.
Try Pinephone. Much cheaper with killswitches and Linux based
This. Hate to say it, but any Pixel, OnePlus or HTC will be perfect when you root, rom, and install LineageOS. All phones are less than 800 and have way better specs for longevity.
Avoid the Pixel 2 XL. Google nerfed the USB connection in an update so the bootloader can't be unlocked. It's a shame because good condition phones are available cheap and parts are easy to come by. Everything else plugged into the USB port works fine except for the ADB mode needed to run commands on the bootloader.
At least test the usb connection in recovery mode before you buy one.
If I am not mistaken, the Pixel 4/a/5 are the best for soft-modding and price.
Why not just go for LineageOS at that point with a rootable phone like Oneplus?
In Wales, policed harassed people for using a vending machine at farm to safely get milk and told them go to the big box store (Tesco).

This!! Local farming is the best way to support local communities and reduce the oil footprint that comes along with transporting your food a great distance.

I've begun migrating from Gmail to ProtonMail and it feels amazing to unsubscribe from email subscriptions and cleaning out your old folders. Clean and lean for my email all the way from now on.
Can't cancel Facebook if you've never had one to begin with.
You can add one thing I have found VERY useful:
Use a productivity tool such as "Freedom" to Blacklist (and block) all these websites on your computer.
It makes them impossible to access. Then you can relax without using any effort or decision making to prevent entering these through links or impulse. You just reach a "site cannot be found" page.
Both websites and apps will be blocked.
Maybe you can add these pages to a firewall or use an even more effective program to block them.
Willpower easily fails and people will still enter these sites by accident.
Use Freedom or find another app/program to Block these pages and apps. Maybe a firewall program can do it aswell.
Recommendation:
As a business idea this would be awesome, just making an app or program that blocks these websites and apps from the system (computer/phone). Let's BLACKLIST these bitches.
lol, great response. Got an honest chuckle out of that.
I have one for business and one I've had since 2007. Currently using my old one to spread truth because I have over 1k friends who see it. It's been really fun lately. I'm on my last leg with that one, I want to go out in a blaze of glory. I want to say "they kicked me off Instagram and Facebook for saying Trump rox!"
I envy you. I got rid of it 7 years ago, and still feel like I didn't act soon enough.
I think that minds.com and MeWe are free speech alternatives to Fakebook.
Also, check out LBRY.TV as another alternative site for videos.
MeWe has deleted Stop The Steal groups. Use minds.com
You can block their tracking scripts marketing people, including campaign managers, love to put everywhere.
We need to accelerate the betterment of alternative media.
If anyone on gab, or bitchute, etc. is reading this, creating a "Package" of high quality alternative media, Syxhexxenhammer, the Quartering, Mark dice, etc. will help people have a reason to come to your site. Be the ANTI youtube. Give the people what they want, make it easy, be BETTER than youtube. DOn't be something people settle for. Form a unique identity around truth and free speech.
Make it easy for people wanting alternative content to get alternative content. create INCENTIVES for exclusive content. Get the viewer involved, make this a movement. Money to the platform = directly fixing our society and giving a voice to truth tellers and entertaining people.
Make this a movement, give it a face, give it a purpose.
Styx is the best
Probably the most concise 8-10 minute videos that one could watch and be better informed afterwards. Some retards around here think that's he's just some satanists moron. They've clearly never spent 1 minute to watch him and derived their prejudice from his moniker.
Are you saying he's not a Satanist? Never heard of him.
He supposedly was years ago but he's pagan/areligious now.
Who gives a shit, he doesn't rape goats or sacrifice animals. There are shitty people of all faiths. There are fantastic and good people of all faiths.
Salty I would say is a strong contender top spot too. He may not have the same insightful commentary, but he's no intellectual slouch either, and has lots of great insights. His energy is unrivaled. They're all fucking good.
He's one of my favorite Occultists/Edgelords.
This boycott movement will never work unless we spread the message BEYOND this site. Obviously everyone on this site is based. But how do we turn the outage of 80 million people into something tangible?
In the short term I don’t see many people leaving anything on the list except maybe Facebook. We need Newsmax to help us out. But they won’t.
Yes, that's why we need to elevate non swamp content. Make the truth entertaining, profitable, and tangible.
I'm working on something now. I should have an MVP by next week... then I'll share it with this site. It will be for "normies". :)
Something else that’s important: emphasize non-political content on the platform as well.
I love politics and memes about it but I’d probably go insane if that’s all I looked at.
Video game streaming, sketch comedy videos, etc are important for building more viewers and a bigger base
Censored.TV
Worth it even if it were just Gavin.
The one "platform" that leftist scum can't ban you from is physically gluing / taping / stapling posters to walls and buildings.
Idiotic (and financially desperate) journalists often boost your signal by reporting on the posters, spreading your message even further. They can't help themselves because they need the ad revenue to stay afloat and their audiences are outrage addicts.
Gonna write "Trump won", "Biden cheated", and various Biden quotes all over bathrooms and everywhere I can. In sharpie.
Sharpie comes right off with a little rubbing alcohol. Take some kind of etching tool.
Xacto Knife!
That’s distruction of property. Sinking to their cowardly level.
I don't recommend an xacto knife for edc.
Add "It's OK to be White" too, just for added measure.
I’m creating a barebones website and doing grassroots campaigning to promote a podcast and blog in my area. Fliers on windshields, on doors, in newspaper tubes, etc.
Best way to beat big tech and reaching a bigger audience is by finding another playing field that they can’t censor you on

The username is what I want to become but I’m not there yet by any means.
We need far more people like you. Are you hosting the site with Epik? Any hosts you can recommend for anonymity and commitment to free speech?
I just finished the .html yesterday and sent it to some close friends who are to provide feedback. I haven’t looked at hosting yet, but that’s the next step. It looks like Epik is committed to free speech. Not sure about anonymity, but that’s something I will look at.
You might be able to buy a pre-paid credit card with cash and use that to pay for the hosting (and simply give fake personal details). Not that Epik has any ill intention towards patriots and nationalists but you never know who might hack them or what corrupt government agency might legally force them to hand over data.
If you do discover a bulletproof way to host a site for free and anonymously please let me know! I can also recommend this free hosting site that I used to make this NPC generator. They never asked for personal info or payment, and if you're hosting a simple HTML website it should work well. Only problem is if the link dies your hardcopy ads won't point to it anymore. I recommend putting a main link on your posters and then smaller text below saying "if that link dies, try these:".
Take a bit of chalk with you and whenever you have a moment, scratch a message. Really spooks commies because it suggests widespread support and gets around their tech oligarchy
Look up "wheatpasting". Shit makes posters impossible to get off.
4chan teaches the best things.
Bring a short step ladder and post up higher. Don't need more than a 2 footer.
More space there and it makes removal and paste overs harder.
A local office supply or art store probably has a plastic lamination service to make things waterproof, but if it's letter size, you can easily buy one of your own.
Or be 8ft tall.
Bonus tip: learn a basic parkour wall jump, use a running start and you can get stuff very high on a wall without bringing a ladder with you (though pasting it is a bit harder, a good slap with the right adhesive already on the back can work though). Most leftie fat asses will just stay firmly on the ground staring up in rage at your message unable to reach it.
Construction Cement from your local hardware store is the right adhesive.
There is a lot to choose from. Polyurethane versions take longer to dry, but hold good.
Sometimes the best approach is two. One that grabs fast, but is weak and the other that dries slow, but is almost forever. Don't mix the two, just apply to different parts of the item you want to glue.
Wear gloves when working with the good stuff, it's hard to get off your phone.
Very crafty, so apply enough of the instant tack stuff near the corners to hold it in place with one slap while the slower drying but more permanent stuff in the middle finishes the job.
Not just crafty, but a regular construction technique.
For construction-type use, the tack adhesive can be from a hot glue gun, but those need a power source.
Someone should tell OP that Android is owned by Google. This sounds nice in theory (and most of this is doable) but we need face the fact that we will be unable to completely remove all these companies from our lives. Apple and Google are the only two mobile operating system companies in existence that aren't literally funded by the CCP (yes I'm looking at you Huawei)
Edit: here's an article about the Google/Apple alternative called OxygenOS (aka HydrogenOS) https://www.androidauthority.com/oneplus-hydrogen-os-11-1146602/
What I'm saying is that Google owns the entire Android Operating System; yes, it's open source, but it's developed and maintained primarily by Google developers.
Lineage OS is not an alternative to Android, it is based off of it
Are there any UNIX based mobile operating systems that aren't Android?
perhaps some techies can comment, but my understanding with cell phones is, worrying about the OS for privacy is akin to worrying about votes on a dominion machine. every's phone's baseband is closed source and is most likely the first means of reading everything on your phone, it does not matter what OS you run
perhaps, i wouldn't put it past the alphabet agencies to do just that. there are phones that hardware separate the baseband and memory though such as the pinephone. i believe @nekroziz uses one, and he may have some insight into this.
yes this phone would be one that i'd use if its weren't $800. pinephone does pretty much all of this at $150. however, it is beta at best
That is correct. The baseband, which is like the firmware that runs the modem, is closed source. The new basebands probably have all the spyware they need since OS'es can be changed on phones now. They can still track your location with the cell service providers. You would need your own closed network like the cartels have in Mexico
bingo. thats why i gave up going with phones with "privacy" os. the same thing exists on pcs/servers where the closed source management engine has full access to the memory and effectively, makes encryption useless.
Which is why Russia decided to stop using Intel/x86, because they know the US Govt can compel big tech to give them backdoors/access to any system with a subpoena, the same way they shut down Snowden's previous email provider and forced him to provide the encryption key with a court order
If patriots.win was based off of Reddit, then yes patriots.win IS Reddit.
A codebase as mature as Android (and Reddit) will easily have 100,000+ source code files. Just because Google (and Reddit) are no longer modifying the codebase doesn't mean all of their features have been removed once the code has been forked.
It is very possible that there are legacy features within LineageOS that still contact Google servers.
What you're asking for is to find a needle in a haystack
When you're talking about a mobile phone, it's more akin to asking to find a particular needle in a needlestack.
Done, see below
Edit: yes they do - a feature that uses Google Search definitely contacts Google's servers
Edit Edit: Lol those alt accounts 😆
You should do research before spouting nonsense. LineageOS's souce code includes a number of references to Google including:
Specific examples of use of Google services:
This is all from a cursory evaluation of the OS. I'm not saying that LineageOS is bad, but it's not the answer to a Google-free lifestyle #checkmate
Edit: you can downvote me all you'd like but it doesn't change the fact that you're full of shit #getwrekd
My point is that LineageOS includes features that contact Google's servers.
You challenged me saying that LineageOS doesn't include anything from Google and that a user would have to "put Google back in".
I proved that 1) there are Google features still embedded within the operating system and 2) that there are features that do contact Google servers.
You are wrong on both cases #getwrekd
Is Ubuntu touch still a thing?
Looking at their list of supported phones, I'd say "no".

They've de-googled android and replaced the integrated apps with benign non-google forms.
I'm planning on buying one after I get my protonmail set up. (I'm not going to cuckify a clean android with a gmail address!)
That's pretty interesting. I'll have to look more into the company and this e-phone they're selling but it sounds just like what we're looking for
I haven't tried to order yet. If they don't deliver to US (prices are in Euros), I was just going to order a refurbished phone here, and then follow their install steps. (I want the S9+ too) I use an iPhone for work and my personal is an android, so I'll be able to put both sims in the new phone and say screw u too both Apple and Google.
I looked the interwebs over and switched to this about 4 years ago. Best decision I've ever made (other than being a christian) https://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Cymbal-Z-320_id10426
I’m looking at LineageOS compatible phones to dump my iPhone 6 (lol) for. The internet privacy guy has some good videos endorsing it. It may be worth a try since a compatible moto g7 is like $130.
Forever sticky
we'll learn the illegitimi. Voting was just a pleasant of way of refuting their lunacy. But if we have to collapse every one of your CCP mouthpiece puppet businesses, we will. Full on economic war.
Breitbart would be so proud!
That guy was so far ahead of his time. Sad that the mcconnell and paul ryan loser crowd took over breitbart. i refuse to go there now.
The Brave on-boarding experience is really great. It allows you to migrate all your chrome data in on-click, and supports multiple profiles. It's built on Chromium, so its basically the exact same thing as Chrome without all the garbage.
Brave's CEO is Brendan Eich, the man who created javascript. He was fired from Firefox and blacklisted from silicon valley for donating to conservative and traditional marriage political campaigns in California. He's an OG big-tech cancel victim.
From the NYT:
Supporters of the Brave project have recently used the company’s Reddit page to express concern about Mr. Eich’s outspoken views about the virus, with some suggesting he should give up his role as C.E.O.
“He was asked to leave Mozilla because he couldn’t keep his right-wing opinions to himself,” one user on Reddit wrote. “Now he’s doing the same thing at the helm of Brave.”
Need I say more? DOWNLOAD BRAVE
I really like Brave.
But I get memory leaks on some computers. It also bogs down my phone.
Extensions don't work so well with it either.
Still a great browser and I like getting paid crypto for ads and being able to spread crypto to my favorite content providers.
I knew about his ousting from Mozilla for his donations to traditional marriage. I did not know until now that he's also gotten static for questioning the shamdemic. This man gets more based the more I hear about him.
I want to use brave, but coming from Firefox there's so little customization. No bookmark dropdown menu, no configurable layout, no quick change search engine (you can type a prefix in the search bar, but that's not convenient for quickly searching the same thing using multiple engines.
Thank you mods for stickying this.
Great post. Mods, can this be a permanent sticky?

Linux Mint ( linuxmint.com ) is a great alt to Microsoft and Apple.
We need a community here to teach each other how to use Linux and other open source software.
The worst thing we could do to Big Tech is make open source software widely used.
I've used Ubuntu for several years, and trying more KDE apps at the moment.
Check out DistroTube, he has great videos on how to use and get started with Linux. He's also on Odysee which is a big plus! - https://odysee.com/@DistroTube:2
Thanks Frosty, very cool!
Linux mint is free and a no brainer. Anybody a little nervous about leaving crapple or Microsoft can install it on a flash drive and try it out within minutes.
Been using it for years now.
It took me about a week to figure out all the Mint features and fix it on my HP laptop (came with windows 10) but I love it now. I use the Cinnamon version
I have a 7 year old machine running mint and it's still fast
Tails is good but it doesn't have persistence - meaning any changes that you made or anything that you saved will be lost when you reboot. So it's not great for an everyday driver.
For an everyday driver I'd use Linux Mint. For one off projects / travelling / something of high security I'd choose Tails.
DM me if you need anything.
What are they doing?
That's kinda like asking if unplugging your pc then throwing it in the trash can. Moving to the woods and living in a cave is the most secure option. The adventure is obviously yes. But is that really how far you want to go? Tails is a very secure operating system. But it's very overkill for day to day use.
Tails is the most secure, but it's a huge PITA. Massive overkill for 99.9% of life, I've used it but it's definitely not a primary OS, more of a USB drive you keep on hand for as-needed ultra-privacy.
1.Share this everywhere you can
2.This needs to be a permanent sticky, we need to rid big tech from our lives!
Don't forget that Zuckerberg called everyone "dumb fucks" for giving him your information.
He was as responsible for the steal as anyone.
Believe it or not, you can use facebook without giving Zuck the cuck your City, state, zip, Gps coordinates, Dob, place of employment, entire family tree, and SSN.
Don't even give them the traffic.
Except he is also heavily invested in facial recognition software, and tracking who you, your friends, and extended family are.
"ANY Faggot that EVER said a negative thing about GEOTUS – MAJOR Canceled !"
I disagree with this. There are some healthy criticisms to be had of Trump, such as his questionable and very swampy government appointments.
That line should be re-worded to "any person or organization that denounced Trump or covered up/denied election fraud should be canceled".
I really wish it were possible to transfer all existing videos from Youtube to Bitchute, Rumble, Peertube and LBRY/Odysee.
Youtube is the only one I can't really cancel and I blame copyright for that.
With Odysee you can sync your youtube channel thus making transferring it easy for a lot of people. I'm thinking so long as we get the word out more channels will use that convenient feature to add their videos and build up the alternate platform. It's win-win for the creators and us.
Use youtube vanced on your phone. No ads. Ublock origin on pc
Sticky for a Month Please.
My update:
I didn't just quit my twitter. I deleted 100% of every tweet and like. https://tweetdeleter.com worked for me. Someone here chortled like I'm being paranoid but that wasn't my point (tho, you may not want those tweets saved by twitter) but I have to believe if they see content deleted everywhere that has to suck for them. Why leave them free content to brag about?
I still have a Facebook and I annoys me but I have 7 relatives who only use Facebook but what I did do what take an hour to DELETE nearly ever single past post manually and then disconnected from every group or followed page and Facebook is basically now only for sending messages to those 7 people.
Here again, I'm not an internet geek but maybe someone here knows: wouldn't it suck for them if everyone is deleting facebook posts, likes, photos etc etc? It seems to me that IS what they sell and make money for?
I still have a Youtube Channel (two actually) but what I started doing was posting videos at Bitchute and Newtube FIRST and more often. Later, some go on youtube.
I just found out that Discord cucked the fuck out and joined Democrats and Leftists as a propaganda wing that will delete and censor conservative types and I remembered i do have a discord so... .. yep, that is now deleted. Delete Account not the other temporary thing.
Again, I'm not a big internet geek but it seems to me it doesn't matter as much if you just 'don't use it anymore'. The thing is to actually entirely permanently choose 'Delete' and end the account entirely yes?
Even before this I was deleting some old unused accounts, some twitter account I long since forgot about but why have it and why let them count that as a user for cash? Right, delete doubles and backup accounts.
Again, I'm not a net geek but isn't that how they make money? They boast having Xmillion members, the more members (accounts) the more money invested and more adverts bought etc? I assume they include the 1000s and maybe millions of unused old twitter accounts you forgot about but are technically still counted. WHy give them that freebie?
Personal recommendation: I've always found Bitchute takes way way too long to load up videos but recently I found https://newtube.app/media/popular/1?media=all&category=overview&within=24hour Newtube.app via the browser/PC (haven't tried on phone) but so far its really fast for me, it seems to work well. I have no relation to Newtube or any investment or channel I need promoted so I'm just saying my viewer experience. I hope they don't become cucked assholes but so far they seem very pro-free speech .
What's wrong with telegram?
I have cut everything but Amazon. I don't really have an alternative to this other than Walmart and I fucking hate Walmart. Netflix is tough but steal that shit with torrents.
Hi fren!
I sadly don't have a strong alternative to Amazon but maybe the following websites can be helpful for you.
https://americansworking.com/
https://www.usaproductsonly.com/
https://www.madeinamerica.co/
This is helpful! Thanks for including this. It's going to be a frustrating life in comparison to amazon's on-demand life. But that's the fight, at least I'm not freezing in the cold fighting the british.
Check a previous post of mine "CREDITS TO PEDES FOR CREATING..." I have a full list of alternatives !
Not to be a downer but i don't need coconut oil soap, native American dream catchers, or coffee.
Coco milk and coffee is almost all imported anyway. Just repacked in the States
Im trying to find U.S. made appliances and value added.
Best alternative is to visit used appliance stores. The new overpriced green machines work like crap anyway
Amazon was hard for me, too. I'm not necessary a fan of Walmart, but I hate Amazon more; lesser of two evils, you know? The new Walmart+ is very impressive and, so far, it's been a very viable replacement for Amazon. I quit Amazon on January 12 and so far, so good. That may not sound like much, but last year, I had over 500 orders. That's an average of more than 1 a day, so my dependence on Amazon was pretty severe. It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm proud of myself; I feel like I kicked cigarettes!
Walmart is worse. They're the biggest porpornent of the whole mask Nazi bullshit.. I'd rather dump Walmarts anti American Chinese manufacturing butts over Amazon. Who's owner is a cuck but the site mainly is just a platform for anyone. Including millions of Americans. To sell their goods.
I need to buy the same box of cereal, the same soap, and the same laundry detergent no matter where I shop. I understand (and appreciate!) what you're saying, but what Amazon did to Parler is one of the most-egregious, anti-American, anti-free-speech actions I've seen taken by any company in this country, ever. Nothing Walmart has ever done comes close to that, in my opinion.
I support lots of other businesses, too, but I needed to immediately replace my Amazon shopping habits with any realistic, viable alternative and Walmart fits the bill for me and maybe others. Right now, my desire to help anyone that I can (including myself) get off Amazon beats any misgivings I have about Walmart.
Question is... Is Amazon AWS. the same branch as Amazon.com. But I completely agree with you.
You're right; there's definitely an argument to be made that maybe Amazon.com shouldn't be punished for what AWS does, but I figure a decision like what was done to Parler must have gone all the way to the top so my two cents is that none of the conglomerate is innocent. I'm just so horrified about what happened, it's hard for me to give them any benefit of the doubt.
Incidentally: it's funny, because a long time ago, I had a simple, pure, free market ideology and was generally opposed to most anti-monopoly ways of thinking, but I've changed over the years (especially during the last year or two). I think Amazon should be broken up (the entity that runs AWS should be an entirely different company than the entity that runs the retail site, for example). Same with Alphabet. The search engine (Google), the video site (YouTube), the phone company (Android)... those all need to be broken apart. I feel a bit like a hypocrite for adopting this way of thinking, but what can I say? I have a new appreciation of the dangers/risks that can come with zero controls over this sort of thing.
To all of that. I agree 100%
Cut prime, use it without paying the subscription. Also, all the big stores (Target, home depot, best buy, etc.) will match amazon prices. I very rarely buy from amazon these days, and usually only when literally no one else has what I need.
Youtube alternative: LBRY.tv
Email alternative: Fastmail
Cable alternative: PlutoTV, Klowd TV (Klowd will get you OAN)
Cable alternative: usenet with SABnzbd and Plex FTW. I think I'm ten years cable free. You can thank me later.
Remember the first rule of usenet.
[Oh sorry, I forgot.]
Yeah folks, it's torrent all the way!!! Easy-peasy as long as you have a VPN.
I tried so hard to get some kind of IPTV service working with Plex or Kodi on a Nvidia Shield 4K TV and could just never get it to work... and I'm far more tech savvy than most, but it just never worked right. I ended up just going back to my Apple TV and settling for using PlutoTV, whatever comes in for free on the "channels" app (I think that's the one, anyway) that's built into LG's TvOS, and using my brother's cable credentials to log into certain channels apps (most offer a "live TV" option — unfortunately, even though they have a live streaming app w/ all channels, it won't work unless at my brother's house/connected to his wifi)
It's been ten years since I've had cable and I can no longer tolerate the commercials on free streaming TV. My ex really enjoyed Sling for a while but I hated having to pay them and still watch commercials. I have over-the-air HD TV with good signal from all the network channels for free and I never turn it on for that reason (it's for emergencies or I guess some super special TV event that I would never know about if it happened, hah)
I have 2 Vizio TVs and they came with Plex apps already installed, but I use the Roku streaming stick (cheap) on one for a better experience. Plex also works on a Kindle Fire TV stick (cheaper) plugged right into an HDMI port (like the Roku) on the side of your TV.
I run the Plex server on my main desktop PC and it's mostly flawless. (I recommend wired ethernet from the server PC to your modem).
Kodi didn't suit my needs, but Plex has been easy for anyone in the house to use. I used to have Plex, Netflix, and Amazon Prime apps sitting next to each other but now I'm down to just Plex.
but Pluto TV is an American internet television service owned by ViacomCBS.
If you're going to consume TV media, it's the best way to go, as far as I can tell. It's free, and has ads. Way better than paying $100/month and still have ads. It also carries Real America's Voice (Bannon), OAN Encore, Newsmax (whatever).
If you're going to be absolutist about every media company, then there's always TPB/torrents.
FYI Pluto TV has LGBQT+ ads in the programming and they're embedded into the stream.
You might aswell use TUBI TV - "Tubi is an American ad-supported streaming service owned by Fox Corporation".
TUBI TV ads are not embedded into the stream and can be bypassed using ad-block or brave browser.
If you really wanted to watch TV media there are many methods to do so without using the above, using a search engine is the key.
+1 Fastmail.
Old company in Internet years, 22.
Their corporate structure is multinational which makes for an extra step to file legal paperwork, but don't confuse friction with impossibility. They are in Australia and that country doesn't have friendly privacy laws, but the servers are in the U.S., with its own issues, so know the possible problems before you buy.
They contribute back to the email software community as well making them a good network citizen.
Fastmail focuses on email.
They do have a few side features including calendar and storage, if you need it, but unlike google or microsoft they are not moving in a hundred different directions at once.
$30/year and up.
Disclaimer: I don't get any money from fastmail.
It will be beautiful to see their evil empire crumble.
Finally cancelled my FB. My resting heart rate dropped 10 points in a week. The stuff is bad for you!!!!
Can't really comprehensively cancel them. I still have to support Microsoft for instance, because Windows. Kind of not even an option, everything is made for Windows first and foremost.
Phone too. Even if I were an iPhone user, I'd have to switch to Android/Google as someone that relies heavily on smartphones. Discord is...not required, but as a gamer, it's close to severing your off hand maybe.
Some other problem points up there, but I'll work on what's feasible. Fact is some of these entities have made themselves borderline essential. Not the trivial shit like sports, TikTok or Instagram of course. Easy cancels there, unless you're a sports addict maybe.
I've been in IT for a decade and on / off with Linux for much of that time. I don't know how your basic person would "really" survive on even ubuntu day to day.
I can set it up for someone and they can do the basic install / uninstall. But it's like taking 15 years back to Vista with "ease of use". I'm all ubuntu now with exception of very specific windows only tools that I can't wine.
In what world is PayPal based? Haven't they canceled many people. Refused to process funds for different conservatives and libertarians
I think that's what u/caffeineJ meant.
Ahh.
Just another reason I hope that more of you embrace crypto. Cut out paypal, chase bank, and the Federal Reserve and IRS.
Don't argue with me about perceived value. Your Federal Reserve Note only has perceived value. It's as fiat as crypto currency is.
They're 100% Chinese owned as of last month. Jfyi.
Can you provide a source, please?
Was posted here in TD (P.w). I do not have the link.
Add PayPal to be REPLACED..
Crypto replaced paypal and also replaces the central banking system, Big Banks, Rothschilds, leaves the IRS behind, etc.
Untrue. Ever tried to buy crypto. It's all government regulated. Ssn traces. Taxes. It's just another bs fiat currency
I think there's still work arounds. I'm just beginning to dabble in it myself. Hopefully someone more experienced with crypto can chip in with their thoughts and advice.
There are ATMs (or at least used to be), and you can buy it for cash on the darknet.
You can also launder bitcoin, where you send btc to a mixer, and get random amounts adding up to nearly what you sent from several other accounts - this breaks the tracking. Assuming the mixer isn't compromised. A similar version of this uses online casinos to decouple your tracked bitcoins from your known wallet to an anonymous wallet.
But you need to keep your laundered bitcoins completely separate from your personally-ID'd bitcoins, and you need to be careful with your laundered bitcoins. It's a huge PITA and not really worth it unless you're buying drugs on the darkweb - but if you look up tutorials provided by darkweb dealers for buyers they'll walk you through all of this. Intellectually, I find it all fascinating.
There's a podcast I subscribed to called Darknet Diaries and they interview a bunch of people who ran online drug rings on the dark net and made money through bitcoin and the operation became fairly sophisticated.
The guy eventually got caught but only because of a snitch, not because of dealing in crypto or not covering his tracks well. I think it was episode #81. darknetdiaries.com
I also explore lots of survivalist and prepper communities and get some of my information from those sites.
There's always work arounds. But like Twitter. Facebook and Gab. The left pushes very strongly, what they can control and 90% of the sheeple don't question it.
I've been buying and trading bitcoin since it literally nothing. Something to be given away using u/bitcointip on Reddit or mined then deleted because "what the hell am I going to do with 20 of these bitcoin garbage coins.."
I've watched it change over time. From a nice anonymous currency to a government regulated pile of garbage used to siphon money away from unsuspecting individuals and move them to corporations who are controlling it.
It's just like RobinHood. Hundreds of millions of people downloaded that app. Threw $10 at it. Lost almost all. That's billions of dollars. Just siphoned from the individuals and given to the big companies who employ the skilled stock traders to take all the money.
Lots of people struck it rich with BTC. Don't get me wrong. It's less of a scam vs RobinHood but. Don't be fooled. It's just as regulated and tracked.
Genuine question: If not buy crypto, what can we do?
Use Google Takeout to download all your Google emails, photos, docs, etc. onto a hard drive. Then DELETE your Google account. Get a ProtonMail account instead. Facebook will allow you to download your data before deleting, also.
Thank you.
After having google lock me out of one gmail account because my refusal to enter in my phone number, I am going to back up everything and abandon old gmail accounts.
WhatsApp
Its a Facebook app and the worst when it comes to data collection.
Also Telegram is a good choice. DJT's channel has 842 471 subscribers now. Link: https://t.me/real_DonaldJTrump - "(Unofficial — ownership transfer pending)"
Counterpoint: Leaving these platforms (FB/Twitter) prevents us from being able to redpill normies...
There is something to be said for fighting within the matrix. I'm not saying that it's the only/correct way but it is a way.
I vote permanent sticky and updating. This is the kind of info many need to reclaim our portion of public voice and power.
gave up facebook on the 20th, been happier the past 6 days
If you're in central Florida there's a new group popping up in Orlando. FRA its a grass roots group not associated with the MAJOR Republican troops. One of their big objectives is using tech to create a database of LOCAL mom and pop businesses, in addition to the big ones that are MAGA friendly to let people know where their money should be spent.
Edit: These men explained it last night better than I but imagine all the right legal means that political registers can have. But making it MAGA only. This is basically a Trump Party without being called a Trump Party
Are you in CFL I can email you the info in pm
Does that organization have a website?
I can send you info I'm trying to Google it.
Do you have more information on this?
Http://floridarepublicanassembly.com Http://nationalrepublicanassemblies.com
Direct message me if you have an issue the links should work. These are str8 MAGA anti RINO folks

This is all a real pain in the ass to do, and I am going to do it ALL! Starting right now. And I am as normie as you can get. Honestly, I'm like your middle aged auntie just without all the cats. If I can do this anyone can.
We need this as a permanent stickie or placed somewhere for easy access and reminder. EAT SHIT COMMIES!!!
Save it
Done that already! You need to think of all the others though that join! Thanks though pede.
I stopped cable long ago. Am working on deleting FB. Next will be IG (neither of which I use).
I have already stopped Amazon. I bought an item for 20 dollars direct and paid $10 shipping.
If I bought from Amazon I would have saved on the shipping, but fuck Amazon.
If I must pay higher prices, I will. if I must pay more to ship I will. I will also now be more discerning about how I spend, and will buy fewer made in China garbage items, and more made in USA. I will also buy fewer higher quality items.
I urge you guys to buy an extra hard drive and install Linux on it. Windows 10 is basically spyware. You don't have to entirely abandon windows. You can setup your computer to prompt you to boot to Linux or Windows on startup. You can slowly transition to Linux. Lots of information online to help you learn it. It's not drastically different, but much better in many ways. Get that creep Bill Gates out of your life.
Another good option for people that want to just test Linux out is to get something like VMPlayer, and install Linux as a virtual machine that you can boot into from your Windows session. It's great to have just to tool around in, or if you need to do sensitive online stuff like online banking (not having to worry nearly as much about viruses/spyware.)
I've been working on the degooglefication for weeks already. TERABITES of photos, videos and doc. My entire life was in the cloud.
Whats the best cloud storage service? I was thinking Sync.com.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but I will do my part.
Phone alternatives? That is the most important thing. Everyone uses their phone all the time and it is tracking your location constantly.

Have you heard of the Librem 5?

Yup. I wish mods would write a script that would replace all Twitter links with Nitter. That one drives me nuts.
And all the people that keep posting YouTube links, especially when there’s an alternative
A one week sticky is appropriate for this high quality informational post.
Tbh there should be a whole Community dedicated to this
Honestly as someone who has used social media since Myspace days - over 15 years ago, my life has been SO much better without it. I do have a few things I use but I hardly open them, but getting rid of twitter/facebook/removing apps that I have to log in on my computer only to use - I have all this time that I was wasting given back to me for a more meaningful life.
If anyone is looking for some healthy habits to replace social media, pursue that thing you feel guilty about not doing it and FUCKING DO IT.
Last year I wanted to read more -> I didn't. This year I'm doing a Stoic study because I believe it's the ultimate philosophy to guide your life and reading 12 Rules for Life in addition and it's so much better than seeing people's posts that I haven't seen in 8 years on a facebook feed.
:) free your mind from the shackles of Big Brother.
Well done.
When lots of us started asking for this in 2014 and others even earlier everyone laughed cause they liked their little addictions too much. Now that you've all built an uncontrollable monster your wanting everyone to jump to help. This is everyone's fault that made them what they are now. How many links a day do I see to these platforms? Each one earning them more money. We chose comfort and convenience over our country. Now the consequences are coming. Suck it up , some of us prepared for this.
Since my parents' double passing (horrendous end to an already totally f-cked 2020 - dad's only sister dies October, mid November mom's late sister's husband passed, then 11/24 MY dad dies in the nursing home, his one remaining sibling my namesake uncle in AZ dies of pneumonia on 12/12 then I find MY mother dead here at the home in which I lived/caregived/now dealing with neverending estate madness).
I NEVER watch tv and waiting to ship back the boxed-up DirecTV equipment I canceled (why keep paying for that crap?) BUT prior to dad going to the nursing home he purchased a sweet 55" LG 4K 'smart' tv and lately have been fiddling with the web-based components and found out the hard way this particular model does NOT support PlutoTV (2012-2015 and now starting in 2020 do, just not this one) nor USTV247.tv. And as it is WebOS (a linux derivative I guess?) based, will neither support 'sideloaded' 3rd party apps dammit. Any good ideas on free streaming CONSERVATIVE apps/channels for the tv? If any clever techies on here I'd LOVE to know some secrets - without having to go the 'rooting' route and possibly f-ck up the tv permanently - to get the GOOD stuff. FireStick? Roku?
This is a GREAT list and have this post saved.
so glad to have you all here. this would be even more terrible to experience without you.
Great and high-effort post. Thank you!
Good. Getting people to give up an addiction is difficult, they need a replacement, which is what you included. As for sports, I think participant sports are best. Golf is superior to football. Not because it is per se, but more golf fans play than football fans (at least as adults). The spectator should not be inspired to eat more chips, but to act.
Thats interesting. When I told my family that I was getting rid of my smartphone, I told them I was committing "digital suicide."
Searx is a good alternative for search engines!
Keep up the good work!
i've been using startpage
lmao...doublelist is the place to go now if anyone's interested in ya know that kind of thing wink wink
Startpage pays Google for their results and just doesn't save your searches. You'll still get biased results.
thanks, will switch it up.
HOW THE F have I missed Rumble all this time?
BTW..is there a reason to use a real name for Rumble?
EDIT - Get a VPN
I use Privado, I love the speed and killswitch function
who is that person you summoned?
