Zoom chat alternative ----> Jitsi Meet...! Quick meetings in Audio / Video / Screen-share...!...Reconnect humanity....
Jitsi Meet is Zoom alternative.
Easy / instant...
... for new users; old / new people, oldschool, newschool... :)
Many good things about Jitsi Meet:
βNo install, No account. Instant.
Any Browser almost
Optional basic app, Open Source
Other things:
- (maybe) Not using China's Laws / routing through China servers
- Faster / simpler / less clutter
- No install / Any browser
- No account / Instant.
- Similar technology to Zoom in Jitsi Meet but safer/more private/less corporate
(MAYBE) Zoom is developed from/through China and might be routing calls and details through mainland China so this is a problem as it's subject to China Internet Security Laws ...
....and anyway it's not your usual American app which also I wouldn't also trust totally !!! :)
Try it anytime AND if it takes more than a few mins I'll eat my HAT or my MICROPHONE!
It's not because good ideas were not good enough that they didn't get implemented....
STEM gets blocked consistently (regulated) and while that can have a few good reason, most of it is for bad / controlling / monopolistic aspects..., else hijacked, patented out of reach from people, whatever... oh yeah monetised etc...
Even if there is 1 or 2 good reasons the other 10 reasons and way it's used is bad / self-serving to those above (do you trust the I don't !).
Perhaps like everything it's main gate to why STEM even exists.
My condolences if you just realise you're up again everyone else (Lord Voldermort type people / Big Bad Bosses, Legal Gangster etc)
Newbies often have their hopes and dreams in all sectors, doing things even for free, then when they get there they realise, "oh it's not just about effort, dreams, fairness" it's about raw extraction / devaluation of people.
No Way Out - John Zerzan (notes on life's "original trauma")
( No Way Out - John Zerzan, 2003 )
The title too reflecting my existence somewhat...
The 'original trauma' rings true in the Agricultural sense and other things mankind has iterated.
------------------------------------------------------------
THE REST BELOW IS MY NOTES
...FROM JOHN ZERZAN AND PICS ATTACHED
------------------------------------------------------------
Agriculture encloses, controls, exploits, establishes hierarchy and resentment.
Chellis Glendinning (1984) described agriculture as the 'original trauma' that has devastated human psyche, social life, and the biosphere.
... human reason is no longer neutral
... our reason imprisons our true humanity, while destroying the natural world.
How else to account for the fact that human activity has become so inimical to humans, as well as other earthy species?
This disease of reason, which interprets reality as an amalgamation of instruments, resources, and means, adds an unprecedented and uncontrolled measures of domination.
...reason's "neutrality" was missing from the start. Meanwhile we are taught to accept our condition.
Division of labor gives effective power to some, while narrowing or reducing the scope of all.
...in only 10,000 years, the rapid descent into a civilised lifeway.
...With civilisation, how it is is how it's always been. Russel Hoban's 1980 novel, Ridley Walker, provides keen insight into the logic of civilisation. What some call progress, the narrator calls Power...
The contrast with 1000's of generations of forager (hunter-gatherer) life is staggering.
There is no dispute that these ancestors put sharing at the center of their existence.
Aka people of Africa... Mbuti people addressed greetings to "Mother Forest, Father Forest".
It appears that societies organized on a truly human scale fell victim to the exigencies of domestication.
*** It may be that we can only solve the planet's overpopulation problem by removing the root cause of basic estrangement from one another. ***
People used fire for cooking 1.9 million years ago; and built and sailed seagoing vessels at least 800,000 years ago!
These people must have been intelligent...
To re-present reality involves a move to a complete, closed system, of which language is the most obvious example and perhaps the original instance.
Whence this will to create systems, to name and count? Why this dimension that looks suspiciously like instrumental reason, with its essentially dominating core?
Language is routinely portrayed as a natural and inevitable part of evolution. Like division of labor, ritual, domestication, religion?
"In the beginning was the Word" - the convening of the symbolic domain. After Eden's freedom was revoked, Adam named the animals and the names /were/ the animals. In the same way Plato held that the word /creates/ the thing. There is a moment if linguistic agreement, and from then on categorized frame is imposed on all phenomena.
...Many languages start out rich in verbs, but are gradually undone by the more common imperialism of the noun.
This parallels the movement to a steadily more reified world, focusing on objects and goals at the expense of process.
Symbolic modes may begin with some freshness and vitality, but eventually reveal their actual poverty, their inner logic.
The innate sensual acuity of human infants steadily a trophies as the grow and develop interaction with a symbolic culture to infiltrate and monopolise most aspects of our lives.
In the case of anarchy, there is an awareness that living in equality with each other humans necessitates the rejection of all forms of domination, including leadership and pitical representation.
"Animism" refers to the extention of that awareness to other life forms and even to "inanimate" dwellers on the planet, such as rock, clouds, rivers.
The fact there is no word related to animism, analogous to anarchy, is an index of how distanced we are from this awareness, in our present state.
Green anarchy explicitly states that anarchy must embrace the community of living beings, and in this sense takes a step toward reawakening this awareness.
...While the fundamental reasons for the community's loss go unrecognised and unmitigated.
...as with Aka and Mbuti described above, feelings of oneness with earth and all its inhabitants, as a sense of the joy and meaningfulness of existence, seem to flourish when we have humans live in egalitarian, face-to-face groups.
...in fact reality is decisively mediated by language.
Postmodernism ups the ante in two ways.
1...Because language is basically a self-referential system, Postmodernism avers, language cannot really involve meaning.
2...there is only language (as there is only civilization); there is no escape from a world defined by language games (and domestication).
The ultimate in representation is the current "society of the spectacle" described so vividly by Guy Debord. We now consume the image of living; life has passed into the stage of its representation, as a spectacle.
Has there ever been so much incessant yammer about democracy, and less real interest in it? To represent or be represented is a degradation, a reduction, both in the sense of symbolic culture and in terms of power.
To quote Riddley Walker (novel)..."let go"...
"the onlyes power is no power". The heart of anarchy.
Instead, technology and it's accomplice, culture, must be met by a resolute autonomy and refusal that looks at the whole span of human presence and rejects all dimensions of captivity and destruction.

Final thought:
I really like the idea of decreasing population (or saving existing people & saving energy) by reducing "estrangement from one another."
(I.E Enjoy others more / purify before making new entities in iterative choke hold systems)

"Today on Monday the 29th of May, we announce that we have squatted this apartment on Tweede Kostverlorenkade in Amsterdam. We are a group of people from different ages and places, who resort to squatting because we have no other option.

SB 254 is a de facto total adult trans care ban that has been in effect for 2 weeks, cutting off thousands of trans adults in Florida from their prescribed hormone therapy. There is currently no reliable route for trans adults to continue receiving HRT. https://floridaban.com
Just for old times' sake, my petition to allow US and UK trans and nonbinary people fleeing transphobic laws and a potential genocide to claim asylum in Canada? Well, it closes in just under one week. At the moment, we're about sixteen thousand signatures short of the second-most signatures on any Canadian petition to the government. Ever.
So I'm gonna send this around one more time, with the hope that Canadians will see it, sign it, and pass it along. You will need a Canadian address (a real one) to fill out the form.

Hereβs the hidden truth of education:
You donβt know what youβre preparing for.
Your teaching doesnβt know. Your future employer doesnβt know. Nobody knows. Not really. What youβre preparing for might not even exist yet. We β’hopeβ’ it doesnβt exist yet: donβt we educate students in the hope that they will make the world better by changing it? By creating realities that donβt even exist yet?

NES & Gameboy games ALL-IN-1 for Android...
NES & Gameboy games collection ALL-IN-1 for Android
It's 1 APK INSTALL from APKPure.com and then easy to start play instantly.
Many old games. For nostalgia mostly as controls on Android screen makes it l look like Gameboy controls athough not as responsive.
Still nice to see games & pics load up FAST and jump into next one very easily .
I believe in Freedom and "Free school"ing as part of that. This school of thought, self-teaching and self-education has proven to work as part of Freedom (which is also about undoing what has tricked us). Learn regularly and you get rewards and morality back.
The rest to read is just extra. If you hate detail probably this is good for you.
Learning our geniune individuality and respecting it is some of the most essential parts of life!!!!!
------------ EXTRA BITS BELOW ---------
Right now in 2023 I've taken a back seat to the talking to people or giving feedback to everyone, and so given up while not totally given up.
I think education together is a major way.
Some of us speed up and have to wait for others to catch up or not try over-try too hard also to keep the peace often covered up or under the surface.
Free School has been proven over my lifetime as not needing to wait or only believe in others first. DIY = Do It Yourself or at least start... and then the advice or questions come anyway... Start snd Finish fast and people can see better there is progress... often the only thing stopping people in starting anything.
You can interact and ask. We 2 can make best together as free as possible to reach somewhere in thought where alone we might not so quickly.
I mostly create / edit community education audio podcast / music / videos / transcript text etc for good people or other podcasts.
Am offline more than on but still get msgs and still reply here- might take longer than I mention below
I do your audio / film work too for free if it's for the good. I can do it offline which is good.
MORE IF YOU LIKE...
Our place in the world is helped by others.
We enable it for others and some forge ahead anyway.
If you're interested in life this helps! get in touch if you are as I like everything or to talk about it helps the world indirectly and directly!

Words of wisdom (MY WORDS):
Everything is easier when you test it
Everything is easier when you know *how* to test it
Everything is clearer when you give it more time and respect.
Everything is easier when you know what it's for and what it means to others (both how to test / ask and how to respect)...
Everything is easier when you know how... yes so participation with me or others allows you to know things, then it's easier and clearer to make your decision(s).
Humans effect everything much more globally (now that money etc funnels things more than ever) and often it's a copy of people getting coralled into the same bad ways (the Gov template of catching it's fishes) - we need to know the bad / good and apply the right stuff daily so we don't get eaten alive.
I personally help whoever with almost anything mutual, it's your 'job' to enjoy what you like AND explore other things - I just ask and say what I like also.
I also edit other people's audio and video as basic cut and re-arrange them into different order for best bits or the wanted parts / highlights + name or transcribe them (audio to text).

I might ask why you want to follow me so be ready to say (0 engagement I don't understand the point of)
