How To Turn Off Autocomplete on LibreOffice

LibreOffice is an excellent and free alternative to Microsoft Office and especially Microsoft Word, in particular.

Facebook Report

Having followed up on the heels of the MySpace craze of the mid-2000s and having gained its initial usership through colleges before opening beyond college campuses in the late 2000s, in early 2020 Facebook is still the first name that comes to mind for social media.

Twitter Report

Coming to prominence around 2009, Twitter.com is the most famous “micro-blogging” site. With drastic character count limitations that force posts to be concise or to overflow into a waterfalling series of so-called tweets, Twitter pushed for the dubious adoption of URL-shorteners that provide a short proxy URL that does not indicate a given link’s destination …

Instagram Report

When Instagram first debuted, it was essentially a glamorized mobile-based poor-millenial’s PhotoShop, allowing “filters” to be applied to square photographs before being shared with other users. Its interface was very unintuitive, and its focus on images instead of text posts left a lot to be desired by users that want to communicate on the platform …

DuckDuckGo Report

DUCKDUCKGO.COM DuckDuckGo.com is a search engine (alternative to Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc) that does not store any of your information and claims to present non-biased search results. Privacy is considered paramount. It is notable, however, that many of the DuckDuckGo search results seem about as PC-biased and cyberturfed as Google’s search results… Whether DuckDuckGo is …

Brave Browser Report

BRAVE BROWSER Brave is an internet browser similar to Chrome or Firefox, but with more privacy (not owned by Google like Chrome is, and not working with George Soros like Firefox’s parent company Mozilla is!).

Cyberturfing is Astroturfed Online Media Collusion

We are living in an age of widespread cyberturfing by media, internet search, marketing, and political entities. A large percentage of information search and curation is funneled through a few portals under the control of extremely politically-aligned groups. Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook are among the biggest platforms or channels for this abuse, but content …

Twitter Exodus Expected with Twitter’s New Policies

The Twitter Exodus is expected as it puts into place new policies to limit who is allowed on their platform. Ramping up their censorship of the past couple of years, simply disagreeing with regressive leftist talking points may cause one to become labeled as “a hater” – resulting in loss of verification, shadowbanning, or outright …
