#Advice / #Help wanted about working with people online...
It seems it largely:
we can't just team up / invest in each other...
not even on Fediverse who seems aligned and stand for a lot...
perhaps that above is more a technical thing more than people thing (Mastodon as software, not for actually pushing people together more nicely / helping actively itself.
That's the short version above.
================
The longer points below:
================
Yes - People need time with this 'togetherness' thing just as 'humanity' itself... (it's like if we can do that it doesn't matter what level people are - like dojo we help each other up and see more purely from the interaction observed and copy better)
I get that online isn't easy (and often think fuck only 25years if it!) but is there anything else can I do for you? It's the finding of that answer we solve everything as-we-go or ad-hoc with whoever is passing by (and passing by more often which is the incremental factor to this or any #movement / #progress / #political thing / #anything)
PSYCHOLOGY WEAKENING?
On a serious note I think people are getting ill deeply / psychologically. Where it's even hard to speak.
Psychosomatic things means disturbances in which emotional maladjustment are almost physically stopping people moving (forward or anywhere)...
The #answer I see is only to get it all out and break through it together as partners (just accepting it all and dealing with it, to actually solve it, not just covering up or ignoring symptoms).
It feels like the more you try, the more people are feeling something which shows something is there living even if it's not ideal at the very beginning - I after wil be fine,.. better communication - otherwise it would be impossible to separate feeling itself any other way and say "RIGHT let's just deal with it as much as we can in 20mins!"
I don't want to conclude people are a complete flop or dud but seems so...
==========================
Anyway give your opinion and any guesses about these thigns...
==========================
1 why like-minded people might be exactly the people most skeptical?
(skilled people can be skeptical about everything which is fair)
2 Why people won't team up with those similar-minded randomly?
(maybe feel threatened or competitive I guess) or can't go deeper in testing me / people to increment something - but if can't trust from the get go, then how to increase trust?
3 why people might not reply or even block me, so even a short or long message doesn't work
(seems technically better people but still dead fish socially ?)
4 why he internet is full of pseudonyms and avatars but still today people are feeling something about accounts without name? (seems really similar to passport control where it's name and number or you're a suspect). By nature of internet it's not for everyone to be spreading all their details (especially if anti-system) and social media provides someone's profile to answer a lot of things so why is name so important or why are people happier when I fake it instead of nickname / pseudo-name on mailing lists (admins asked me to do that). Is it all that "fake" is better cover for real life and accepting people's existence?
FINAL NOTE
These things deliberately I know are challenging and 'advanced' - some will just genuinely not remember or lose messages and yes 100 thigns so it could be that = but many seem just not ready for 2-way communication ... and more one-way posting.
Even veterans in the game haven't got #communications down well and are not sucking talent / contributions or involving #participation which after years you'd think they'd perfected by now...
So maybe this is my work to do but it start with you being able to increment more happier / trusting way instead of going backwards...
Feel free to reply and contact me.
Communications seems the core of everything else.
System of Friendship +
Words List - Friendships solve it all...
#Friendship solves it all / is the main difference in life...
We need more than just modern Capitalism and money in between us, right?
Make #friends to use our real selves.... not just friend$ / colleague$!
================= System of Friendship
by #FreeSchool
=================
Better Humans = #Communication & Interaction between people.
Your friends are not perfect but you live with them, even help them.
#Friendship more easily solves and accepts imperfection of which all humans are imperfect <--- very important
No need to #penalise each other so much for what is #natural.. or #compartmentalise it as wrong or right / #binary, but continuously show the work in progress and grow each other as the main "work" rather than #unhealthy #competition or destruction as show by our '#leaders' who give us unhealthy '#jobs' to do (often bad work or not improving communication).
A new system... Make friends.
Better than watching leaders in Capitalism... and not really going anywhere... Build up and support each other. Nobody else will.

=====================
WHAT WE ALL WANT FROM OF THESE WORDS.... BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN - I THINK THEREFORE I AM...
=====================
We all want for love / care / respect "or else" the opposites start to occur like cancer (various levels) and things (people) get left neglected and also untrained.
We let the bad in by not doing the good basically as it's a kind of maintenance / repair-as-you go.
NOT just "we wait until it's fully broken!" or when person gets suicidal!)
Just the way things are and how things get without caring and doing the people work in every level of life during everything.
As much as you "don't have time" all these things (or their opposites) do catch up - so this is actually saving your time when you family or project doesn't fall apart!!! The damage is reduced / people don't waste our time later or bad things happen still but not without healthy use of healthy ways and even disconnection can be done better at the end and lessons learned much better ! So to practise talking now (at whatever level) pays off in the end to do more careful work together / constructing something beyond
==========================
CAPITALISM IS BETTER FASTER NO?
=========================
Capitalism also as we have learned CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK - it does care for what you think or choose - it's mostly authoritarian and profit-minded.
===================
START YOUR OWN SYSTEM
===================
It can mean starting something from this perspective that communication is better - because it's true many people just won't listen - but who is also offering or training people in these things - maybe you with this printed!
Yu literally have to create life yourself if it doesn't exist (on top of existing very pure sources, like I did with this list from the dictionary !!
=============
THE END RESULT?
=============
Once you as individually and family learn to print and share these things (stick on your fridge/door), it's techniques and sentiments can "live on themselves" (in others)...
WHY YOU TEACH ME ANYTHING - YOU'RE PROFILE IS A JOKE!
Love / care / respect is an intentional system, individually carried out for overall humanity - I'm not an NGO or anything big but as a human I stand or good - measurably, words and actions.
This can also start with you and more people taking just 1 picture and having the atmosphere of it reach others (give peaceful words a chance?)... We just needs humans to spread it somewhat and daily conversations get better as and people talk more and pass better words on
Sticking it up somewhere (fridge or wall) as is a good conversation point and piece of interest / meditation / discussion during dinner etc.
=====================
LOVE GOES OUT AND COMES BACK AROUND AND IN.
=====================
Much love goes out to humanity, get in contact if interested...
We know how it feels without love of various kinds (at work, home, outside) - so let's not neglect any of these smaller things - I'm not even talking big "love" / hippyness, but the smaller things and bigger efforts to improve vocabulary and practice it at home / on the internet as group chats etc... all can be a better therapy
====================
WHY THESE WORDS?
====================
"System of Love" is from a list I collected over the years in my own relationships and looked them all up either from my words, partners or observations (everyone in my life!)
Related to love, care and respect needed between people more words are sometimes very crucial in heated battles or complex situations... learn well as it makes for less anger or else all hell breaks loose!
Boost
if you would like to see more of these things practised in life.
=====================
ALSO FOR THE SCIENCE TYPES
=====================
#QOTO and #STEM perhaps are not alway emotionally minded or trained so it's also for people who don't' get exposed to why it's important to talk (to human, not just computers!).
Even as a science or biology consider of that mainly starts and ends with emotions (human input output) - check out Bruce Liption!
That goes beyond externally programming machines and more capitalistic styles of hiring people just to get stuff done - because computers and capitalism are without caring mostly and don't ask or design around what people think - it's mostly top-down authoritative (at least in modern day #STEM).
Learning love (or to love others) or even to fight well, isn't exactly what school teaches everyone so we need these kinds of posters and reminders...

Have you ever walked into a supermarket, pharmacy, or department store looking to buy a specific item, only to find the layout confusing? Perhaps you ended up aimlessly strolling around, purchasing other items? This is deliberate, and known as the Gruen Transfer. The 'Transfer' part is the moment that you, as a consumer surrounded by a deliberately confusing layout, lose track of your original intentions.
We've all experienced it, and now it's starting to consume the internet. #Internet #GruenTransfer #DarkWeb #WWW #Enshitification

(NEEDS & OFFERS SYSTEM)... THINGS TO DO... FOR YOU?
Trusting people to help more than the Trumps of the world?
==================================
LIST TO CONSIDER WRITING
for yourself and others to help:
==================================
NEEDS Any personal problems / challenges / 'I could never know how to get to this point?'
(as a need)
People can send offers (things they might do daily anyway!)
OFFERS what you like doing daily already and maybe separately what you want to do more of (even if it's a bit far off now - as a dream / low chance of it happening but as "need" you need to keep working on it in doing "something"
(as an offer)
Thanks - this helps see more your side and offer you a checklist as yes / no / maybe on your side after...
================================
SHORT INTRO TO THAT...
AND LONGER IF NOT HAPPY WITH THAT...
("things to do for you" in both meanings of that to do yourself and for others to help with that list which becomes part of the #ecosystem of helping itself for "US" as over more-human people, not just alone in a cold system.
So talking and doing more together IS FEEDING our own "system" and #mutuality grows as part of sending that to the world / #fediverse (even if that's just helping good people one-way and not wanting anything back).
Could be like "ok done" !
CONSIDER WRITING A LIST
(optionally more writing below if you don't see why saying and doing things is a better #ecosystem of trust rather than not trusting the Trump(s) out there surely not going to do it! )
================================
LONGER / EXPLAINED MORE:
People often don't get that when I ask what their problems / things-to-do are, because they think it's only their problem and not common relativity / systematic cause / humanistic things systems ignore) AND so whichever way you go or do things you MUST listen to people's things (or do the humanistic things) because the system or #Trump or whoever leader IS NOT GOING TO DO IT or listen! (shock horror at ALL the people on these #Zuckerberg / #Musk / #Bezos etc hashtags #begging / #hoping for top leaders to stop extracting / plundering from planet / people).
Stop that waiting.
️
Send needs / offers
So either way it's up to us to clean our laundry and even me to clean your boxer shorts! (I mean at least AIM to do something about everything and help ourselves/you/me do it alone after initial spark given at the start or just plain #handholding and saying 'done' at the end. It's not for everyone but I'm here for you.
#Tech people often don't get this unless it's like installing Linux for people... but it's similar in all parts of life...
So handholding in other ways means "I'm shit at this so feel free to do it for me and I'll see what I can do for others in same way"
#Payitforward style (and developing people not just tech)
I tend only to think in the now and 'me and you' and once I / we find similar I think that is the way. (just two more people honestly is enough... there's plenty <of our own work> to do (not the work of others / bad people).
The whole design of 'giving' anything to people as it is to take more from them in the end and so that's why everything you do away from people will cancel out the benefits or usage (even food) as the level / growth of people stagnate and systems become more killer efficient. It's Mind over Material Matter (we did enough Material and now people 'matter' more).
So lay our you lifetime's worth of 'things to do' and 'shit to fix' and hope someone will come along to fix it :)
And I'm available to fix your stuff or get it done seriously if you think you'll never do it (seriously seriously I can sorting text / files / editing / rearranging / donkey work if it helps get you to step 2 or 10 like a good garage clean out helps sort all other projects after that's done. Put your shame aside, Trump is winning meantime #friendships are not made (or even our shit is not done as fast as their #ENshitification actually spelt with two T's in the middle / 3 in total #ENshittification ).
DO IT NOW / ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF #FreeSchool #THINGSTODO
Boost / bookmark BUT don't forget (which is why anything now is better than nothing and I'll have a look)
Criminalizing Dissent: Greenpeace Ordered to Pay $667M to Dakota Access Pipeline Firm over Protests

#StandingRock Chair on #Greenpeace Verdict -- False, Self-serving Narrative in Insulting Lawsuit
"If Greenpeace can be held liable for telling the truth about #SiouxNation Treaty rights, then we are all in trouble."
By Standing Rock Chairwoman Janet Alkire, via #CensoredNews, March 27, 2025
"As Chairwoman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, I take offense to the jury verdict in the #EnergyTransfer #SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace. We expect more from #NorthDakota judges and members of the jury from our neighboring communities.
"#EnergyTransfer’s claims in this case were ridiculous. They were wholly disrespectful of the #StandingRockSioux Tribe, our ancestors, and our youth, who started the movement in 2016 to protect our water from an oil spill from #DAPL. Neither Greenpeace nor anyone else paid or persuaded Standing Rock to oppose DAPL.
"Our young people and our elders urged us to protect our water and #UnciMakah (grandmother earth). That is what happened, and is happening still. Energy Transfer’s false and self-serving narrative that Greenpeace manipulated Standing Rock into protesting DAPL is patronizing and disrespectful to our people.
"We understand that many Morton County residents support the #OilIndustry, even out-of-state #pipeline companies such as Energy Transfer. But we are your neighbors, and you should not be fooled that easily. Energy Transfer does not know us. They don’t know who we are – an Indigenous Nation that has survived every attack because our ancestors are with us.
"Greenpeace did not manipulate Standing Rock, but #EnergyTransfer has manipulated #MortonCounty. DAPL crosses our Treaty and aboriginal land for hundreds of miles.
"Our ancestors occupied this land for thousands of years before #NorthDakota came into existence. The land between the Heart and Missouri River are our #unceded Treaty lands under the 1868 and 1851 Fort Laramie Treaties. Our aboriginally-occupied territories extend east to the James River and beyond. That is a historical truth. If Greenpeace can be held liable for telling the truth about Sioux Nation Treaty rights, then we are all in trouble.
"The construction of Fort Rice on our northern boundary in 1864 was a violation of the Fort Laramie Treaties. This required our Tribe to be vigilant. No one should be surprised that warrior society burials are found in this area, near the pipeline route.
"And do not insult our cultural experts, who have wisdom over matters most residents of Morton County or bureaucrats at the State Historical Society know absolutely nothing about. Energy Transfer and its lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. Everyday North Dakotans on the jury should know better.
"When it comes to the excessive police and private security response to the generally peaceful protests at #CannonBall, believe your eyes. The scenes of guard dogs menacing Tribal members are reminiscent of the violence of #WhiteSupremacists in the #DeepSouth during the 1950’s and 60’s, but it was in North Dakota, in this day and age. It was on the news and on the internet.
"Many of the protesters were Native American veterans of the United States armed forces. Energy Transfer used attack dogs against peaceful protesters and war heroes. But the jury sided with the out-of-state, unlicensed security with the attack dogs, instead of North Dakota veterans who supported Standing Rock.
"A Texas oil company has come to North Dakota, and its lawyers and propaganda machine are weaving stories about how the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and our supporters have lied, and how the poor pipeline company, a trillion dollars richer than in 2016 when this all started, should receive extra millions from non-profit organizations. It’s a funny thing about liars – they always accuse everyone else of lying. The Greenpeace trial was marked by secrecy.
"The court is not making the transcript public. The documents obtained by Greenpeace about Energy Transfer’s terrible safety record are protected by a secrecy order and are not available to the public. The judge exhibited so much bias in favor of Energy Transfer that a team of international human rights lawyers felt compelled to monitor the trial. One prominent monitor stated 'In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota.'
"Standing Rock has tried to work for greater transparency on DAPL. It is our experience with the Army Corps of Engineers and Energy Transfer that all documents relating to DAPL pipeline safety are heavily redacted, and kept secret. What are they hiding? Who is looking out for the communities that may be affected by an oil spill? And why didn’t the North Dakota court allow Greenpeace to address these questions at the trial?
"DAPL is a dangerous pipeline. It crosses our unceded Treaty and aboriginal land. Energy Transfer destroyed Tribal burials as identified by our cultural experts, and committed violence against our people. That is the history that North Dakota and Morton County must reckon with. After the Greenpeace verdict, that day seems farther off than ever."

Car culture is rent seeking. It leverages a formerly cheap energy source (petroleum) so you can live somewhere cheaper and/or nicer, further away from work, school, or stores.
You pay for the gas (rent).
You pay for the car (rent).
You pay for the roads (rent).
You pay for the enforcement of traffic laws (rent).
You pay for the parking in lost urban space (rent).
And we are so damn wedded to it, the very idea of considering anything else seems like downright alt-world science fiction.
Letting people know that ICE will send them to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives is a great way to motivate them to fight to the death when ICE comes for them.
Asking for a little favor.
A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)
The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.
The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

How long has it been online?
And does the growth in storage slow down after the first seven days (on the default configuration), when cached images start clearing out?
#FediHelp #SelfHost #SelfHosted #Fediverse
Mastodon Filesize Bloat - Pasted Pictures = Big #PNG Filesize for all #Fediverse
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Bloat
#Data #Improvement / #Suggestion
2.7MB PNG FILE #Filesize #Bloat (from copy and paste process of images... #PNG files as pasted output are massive frequently).
#EXAMPLE OF BIG 2.7MB PNG FILE HERE:
https://mastodon.social/@RubyGold/114349143749701875
Same #picture but PNG as a pasted version = #BLOATED FILE
2mb more than original picture as drag/drop for example...
So copy and paste costs the Fediverse a whole lot more and actually takes time to download (ever wonder while it crawls some pictures?)!
TONS OF BANDWIDTH AND STORAGE / DOWNLOAD / CACHE just to see few hundred KB pic for what was 1 small JPG!
#CopyPaste is useful and PNG I understand cleans #EXIF data (doesn't store it) but surely a #JPG could do the same (there might be more reasons but I don't see them)...
#Digital vs. #Democracy
Not tech! People building first!
#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.
(We have enough already STOP)
Just use existing great basic things towards and focus on #friendships / increment #trust increase #people togetherness)
Not just solo work to make the next greatest weapon / crap / disposable code / or whatever.
People, not so much tech!

Also here as a friendly person to encourage your own thoughts *and* action. More togetherness means Communication!
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (I don't think there is another way around (with less bad tools that undo things). I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Mutuality and maybe friendship can help WIN:WIN:WIN it for us all in this world...
Consider *developing people* as your work - not just developing machine code! People are the KEY to everything FOREMOST...
If life's people are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get as any cold system using computers and tech who Musk / Trump more than leverage against you in the end! (yes computers are too fast and even #OpenSource and nice things get used badly and only can stop it by developing better people).
Working on better people is the better way at the end..
