One of my favourite types of posts here is people making their first steps - however small - on breaking away from the mainstream to make tech work for their own interests and needs, whether that is:
installing an alternative OS on their phone
trying Linux
switching to LibreOffice
using Firefox
using an ad blocker / PiHole
hosting their own website
and so on.
It may be stuff you, personally, did years ago, but to the person posting their success, it could be a leap.

For those hoping for Texas to secede, I have some bad news:

2. Even if it wasn't Texas's government is most likely using NSA backdoored computers, smartphones, etc. The US government can still track them and strike them. Do you really think these boomers are going to use Linux?
3. This is the same state government that fired a politician for merely having a Gab account a couple of years back.
Won't stop him from doing it again.
