#Fascism = anything "Bad" ⁉️❓
(modern day version incorrectly used)
#Fascistic is better (perhaps but still sometimes too generally...)
#AntiFascist / #AntiFa also a good thing
...but too broadly used by those who generally don't know what it means (to others who also don't know but might accept it as 'bad' which it might be but not specific enought)... similar to #AntiFa or Anti-Fascist - which maybe everyone wants to be but really can't care enough when it comes down to it to do it all themselves / #DIY. It's #virtuesignalling which I accept a #virtuesignal is part of trying and helps accept things enough to try more levels of.

#Mastodon #Rewards
Some incentive and respect #system towards #more-social / pro-#social #movements in healthy way - because without it you have quiet empty software / shallow posts and no real trust and relationship #building.
So promoting, accepting, using all types of people with a #reward helps increment #trust slowly in the #Fediverse. Let me know what you think of the picture - #FreeSchool
#AltText
An edited picture (from other rewards system) - not real but re-edited towards #respect / #reward given n social for Mastodon #ecosystem etc by sending reward of some kind (doesn't have to be #crypto).
Important parts of Text say "How do I contribute to websites and creators?"
and "puts your privacy over #BigTech's profit... With rewards, you can directly #support websites and #creators"
So creators and people can all get together more and not be so #scared online...

We need cooperation / acknowledging others... or we die online... (Looking for a 'system' of respect / valuing others for the normal they do)
We need cooperation / acknowledging others... or we die online.
➡️ Even for the normal they do -
Everyone has things they can do more towards others instead of on their own / only as 1-way consumers.
➡️ 2+player-mode!
PLEASE don't treat us all as scammers and hackers - we're not!
If we really can't do cooperation.... how about 'rewards' (of some sort)
(I'm reaching here because we don't know how to accept help or give help or get trust a bit to increment or to talk to each other properly / deeply)
so then...
maybe some reward or 'something' for what we do to give us some "credit" or score for what we love or do already A LOT OF... like 9999 points -
People understand this like #ebay #feedback - it's just text tied to some type of transaction which doesn't have to be financial..... some text translation / audio editing / whatever for others / "This person did this for me and could for you too"
so hear me on this.... as reaching a bit for something else.... if people can't be intelligent to trust each other FIRST and build from that...
The problem is social = without real social. [currently Mastodon etc - it's just software not much organised to BRING people together, expecting unskilled people to make friends - Not happening]
One-way mostly.
We need something like attention for each other to discover what we can do or already do -
I saw "Attention Rewards" or similar
(call it anything)
but towards better communication on a aesthetic way yes but towards the real ways ..... our own version of #feedback tokens or something.... to keep us pumping each other up and doing things for the "us"
(the good individuals and even good businesses like #GrapheneOS phones / #Libreboot #laptops @libreleah etc..). I just saw Leah in her bio say "Judge me on the merits of my words and actions." ⬅️ yes that could be us online as various levels and fields - a #dojo class of various of people helping the upper and lower levels develop nice technique (not to kill each other but gain their respect to in the learning):
So what we are ALREADY looking at and feeling ok about ?
Can we do more of this and call it "Adverts" for us (like a as a #betterbusiness info post link 'advert' to leah?). I don't get any reply from leah so this is a good example both as a good person but also as no way to make friends of strangers or build anything... So what just business?
I don't mean adverts without a cause on #Mastodon but something 1-notch nearer - more than everyone scrambling now to be heard or make money - something that helps us work together since A LOT OF US HAVE TIME but we can't now because you are too scared or always waiting for a bigger '#verified checkmark' style logo system to helps us feel it's ok.
👤 You (see how easy that was!) It's not about all-in trust and give your wallet over.
There could be a way for #admin to say "This person is ok in conversations I've had" as much as they can or anyone with frequent #experience... with the normal #caveats ....
BUT PLEASE don't treat us all as scammers and hackers - we're not!
I verify you with what I do and love and and you do you what you do and love - we share and verify each other (a bit like #Ubuntu phrase) e interests and with those interests we involve / evolve more people looking at more people's things (which we do anyway but as a movement like an 'OutReach' department of Mastodon or anything which I think it should have to teach people HOW TO BE SOCIAL!! Yes 'don't give credit card details etc!!" but DO TRUST THEM and part of their profile to some extent.
We verify each other anyway.
Why can't we do a bit more together?
I already do "adverts" for others off my own back so it would be nice if I got some recognition and acknowledgment.
This why I'm posting this as I don't exist to many. As many of us are dead or treated as excess to humanity without being professional coders or PhD in something... which could be a waste of time for a lot of what we can pool together like crowd-funding the resources and love for people / things... not just money.
I entertain something else to help us run around a bit more or add visible things we already do just because it's advertised well on this Brave page (still has lots of problems but have a look)
https://brave.com/brave-rewards/#brave-ads-appearance
(SEE PICTURE again with pinch of salt 🧂 )
Something to see respect for ourselves because we don't have it now - something to #credit people as runners / doers which even a dedicated admin person could do (I don't mean just "more adverts" but something like respect #communication and #cooperation #related doing the caring work people
🔈 maybe meetings also and let that be as evidence / practice / trust building even if there are nicknames - just to get things done and ACTUALLY TALK between us as MEASURABLE GOOD (and test ourselves and thoughts). Many of us don't actually do anything! So use us mutually after seeing last few month messages!
Without needing all-in TRUST
- something that we need to increment as #Trust daily (a token is not my 1st choice but you see how people go for it) otherwise we stay far too isolated... so something really better
Or Else... Fediverse ends up not trusting anyone either but a few #Caturday people momentarily
So the learning more about those good connected as THE #work / and adverts (to ourselves) is much like following others) to helps a better #web / #ecosystem...
So not google #syndication etc but our own really transparent flow charts of what we already do and see. #Goodpeople.
Ideally I'd like #Mastodon or projects to help people actually do social (it's quite empty here, plenty of #posts but not real #interaction and inter-personal #solving things, improving language, allowing like-minded strangers to help)...
So this post we about finding what isn't 100% in #Brave but right idea that we need to INVOLVE all good #Fediverse people and 1 by 1 see them for what they are and use them for our causes. Else we wait for slow death as a better twitter and don't actually cooperate together for next steps or finding next steps...

#Money #DeValues when you pay a fee for it.is.... Always increasingly worth less...
#Money #DeValues when you pay a #fee for it.
If you pay a #fee for money (loan etc) you just #devalued the value of that money instantly.
Banks may seem like they have power but it's mainly from you using what is increasingly less (and you have to pay / work harder for it).
And when you give it to others they get less when others have paid fee's for money, thinking 100 is still 100 - even though they #paid for it..
(like paying for more for the same material but #maths is harder to see / made #invisible compared to material which if they were paying again for the same thing they would realise it's not worth the same when they pay for it and others too!)
Money is worth much less than what it says on the 'face value; because YOU and OTHER people are paying fee$ for it... constantly.
🤯 🤯

🤯 🤯

Inside a 'money' system the value of money goes down the more people are paying for it (despite any advantages they think thy get in a #monopoly).
And money no longer does what number it says on the paper note - it's 'face value' changes (but the printed face says the same which is impossible / deliberately misleading / #root fault of all #evil).
🏦 🏦 Banks are always the fastest at doing their bad work. 🏦 🏦
So 100 is always worth less.
MUCH LESS.
Eoin Wood burning efficiency (topic) - Notes and thoughts...
The efficiency of wood burning (or similar) at 10% or whatever percent, is hard to measure around other things needed to burn it.
I don't know where people get %'s from unless purely for the BTU but you have to balance how you burn it and convenience of method.
Just some points below that show my logic (can read arrowed lines only for the TLDR / less text also or can skip to the end for summary !!)
➡️ it's not really a scale of 0-100% when looking at things...
as 100% is not really possible when transferring or exchanging or kind of shouldn't be to account for convenience or other material involved (metals for stoves can't / shouldn't always be that pure (like gold) or maybe if they were it might justify such high quality
(but extremely heavy / unmanagable for example)
➡️ %'s are often comparing two things or a perspective in itself of what should be 100%, and comparisons are often not like for like or different in nature when looking at things.
➡️ So it's hard to measure in %'s
- maybe maximum of 70% is possible say (in theory) for wood and that might involve ways that give off long-term burn and not enough heat to heat a person or house.
Smoking food for example could be seen as using a % use of wood but not for heat (curing meat is a usage we could consider useful).
➡️ And then the materials around wood, such as stove, chimney, metals, convenience all come into it...
True stoves can be better but a small box, like mine are the Nordic type - and they know what they are doing (or should) since they have history of trees and living in heavier snow so their art has longer history than my bourgeois lifestyle in comparison :)
➡️ I mentioned it would be more efficiency to have a multi-level floor or longer chimney inside (maybe that would be efficient / more ehat) but I wouldn't want to manage that structurally or as hot hazard inside.
Ok that's it about that :)
➡️ Oh you mentioned the fuel and those things need in order to get heat at the end (diesel, tractor, metals etc) and I agree it's heavy investment and on-going extraction from Arab / East / Asia / Russia (wherever oil comes from) and I wouldn't choose this way (and we don't see what it takes to make machines and metal -
Maybe overall in #Tech and #Machines that's the "magic" as we don't see the extraction chain for a metal blob or tractor (they are being imported now or factories sold off so they will have their day like all machines!)...
==================
SUMMARY
==================
Right now 'it works' because
➡️ there is a balance of extraction / waste (which all can't continue too long has to switch fuels and materials eventually / trees fall and need time to grow)
➡️ we don't see the long line of material-chains and brutal steam-rollering of areas to get us all these toys
and motorized chains(aws) /
Hydraulics and other chemical, rubber plastic ETC ETC chains !!

"Free School" is a movement from the 60's & 70's... inspired practice educational living and learning life together towards #DIY / #Caring
An #Art of #Life etc of sorts in whatever way that suits you and directs the individual towards community also.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites #Fediverse towards #Freedom
Uniting all the freedom-loving schools.
Towards more freedoms and Free Schools.
#FreeSchool is a living personal collection of my gems and people's one-liner summary of works (short CW titles) and longer forms with hashtags and AltText access for pictures (when I remember).
Not Capitalism's Love story (below is a great film documentary). A love story towards humans -
Capitalism - A Love Story
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism_A_Love_Story
A lot to say but I believe mostly "we can solve most of it"... IF ONLY we start and that is by talking! / replying! Getting higher in our own personal understanding and more together is thought to be 'for the way'.
It's our human condition and position in life to suffer alone or together and we cannot be human and then expect not depend on others. That would be to deny our humanity.
Agree? But... Nobody wants to do the homework it seems, and this just feeds ignorance and business (buy and sell of people and things while not working on understanding / bettering human communication ). So unless. you to people's posts or someone else's stuff it's going to get worse (in real life or online).

TRUMP - If people spent a % of time talking to normal people instead of Trump hashtags and other hating spaces then we would work on solving things a lot sooner rather than just hating + spinning their shit al day and then saynig "I don't have time / I'm too busy" for normal community / social stuff..
A chat room can be set up - 3 clicks - safe in browser, no install, no account, instant!
#Jitsi = opensource. Ask me how and complain if you think it's bad.
I'm someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know the business tricks.
The work is about better humans - so when you give them hammers they don't damage the place which what happens when you pay all these people and then complain about them on TV. No more #Hashtag #haters please - just a bit - and better yourself and others. Not your whole life incrementing THEIR STUFF🔁 . . . It's time for our stuff 🔁 whatever you like and love - just cooperate with more humans.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
Audio conversations welcome, feel free to ask for chat link - just 3 clicks and in!.
I use simple chat for browsers using Jitsi (any device - no software install. A basic zoom-style clone, opensource. No google account etc. )
Privacy and Non-corporate minded.
#FreeSchool hashtag for my collected gems and alignments.
Let's chat soon. We need to care about we do daily and others to also care else we are isolated. No other way around it but talk...
