TL;DR Awards - Richard Stallman
[2022 Winner... so far]

The "Too Long Didn't Read" award goes to Richard Stallman for:

- Time killing
He would read what would be enough from my side and then ask "Can you write that in 10 sentences or less..." when it was said in many ways he could summarise instead of asking for more text he couldn't handle lol)

- Illogical Repetition
Even in less than 10 sentences he did not answer many things which would seem very similar / aligned. That was measurably strange / illogical for me.

- Spent time writing many emails to me but seemed that was mostly it (felt like he was waiting or not sure but never said)

- For not jumping out of text and into audio chat or another way to alleviate limits of text (which I believe many in technology don't even see the point of... like 'why to talk?' or 'forget being human just text only'

- Didn't see it saves time to talk or even try it.

So for unsaid reasons...despite answering whatever else he wanted to answer in my previous emails... I declare a lot of TL;DR here and possible selfishness (though there may be another 2022 winner hold tight!) and again I wasn't expecting much but the fact someone doesn't say fuck off is also an indicator

- Saying himself he doesn't know how to deal with many emails
(*despite my solution* of just audio chatting for 10/20mins instead of 10's of emails at least with me which killed time on both our side. I gave him Jitsi link to audio chat (or BigBlueButton would be ok) but no bueno and no answer why not to try.

- Mr. Stallman didn't even say why not for many things or even accept it would save time of 1 chat instead of 10's of emails incoming and outgoing (reading and writing etc) ^_^

I have to admit there is a heart in the picture because:
- He did reply
.. but there was *some* *very selective logic* and you probably assume any hero's or fame is sure to overwhelm people

BUT when we solve the email problem (which for me is audio chat) then progress can be made).

I told Mr. Stallman on a lack of will or trust basis I felt I had to withdraw.

Overall very fast to respond but was a bit avoidant at many DIRECT questions I even repeated simply in 1 line and asked politely !

(I wouldn't care if he would say a bit about why not or even no or something but would continue as if I didn't write - and that's a sure TL;DR person)

Nice guy - can't do his emails (as most can't) and can't jump into audio chat after 10+ short AND long emails.

Gotta learn to change weapon sir Stallman of the Good-Guys.
Time is ticking.

Awarded / Didn't answer many parts / Could use audio chat instead

I could re-write this but it's probably not worth my time until I'm motivated- but at least you got some insight for now and if you have a brain can pick the best and learn from it, unlike some people... ^_^

What is TL;DR - A Series of Habits

e.g. Long Text Obfuscation
(deliberate use as a weapon or trick against others to build walls / rules / punishment programs using layers of text / paperwork as a buffers from the bullies / abusers who would like to distance themselves from their targets and keep hands clean using middle-men enforcers)

e.g. Legal Construct / Legalese /
(same as above but used against people by demanding more time and intelligence to understand AND/OR requirement to use expensive lawyers who always swear allegiance to the 'Court' or authority they are a member of + often also play an inside game / collude internally / can be bought)

e.g. Complicated Computer Code (a mix between user and developers code to lock others out - not always intentional but can end up being 'for the people' but unusable 'by the people')

All the above have a mixture of...

a) natural complication in understanding / transferring any theory or practical, which can naturally reduce tolerance or add a higher boundary to jump in any understanding but helps *when readers continue even if they don't know why it's useful* and seeing how believing it's worth reading actually can get them there in the end... (like teenager that doesn't want to start anything and then suddenly is all in to it and doesn't want your help any more).

b) deliberate layering to hide / nest intentions and trick people / make it more demanding / exhaust people effectively weaponising it against people from those creating and those unable to effect or have a say.

(which still doesn't mean it's ok to not to read or not to at least acknowledge a problem / deliberate tactic because it needs dealing with / incrementing in life and *NOT* ABONDONING*)

What is TL;DR - A Series of Habits

e.g. Lack of self-motivation
e.g. Lack of self-direction
e.g. Not seeing the point / sticking to themself / "I'm OK Jack"
e.g. Not finding interesting points of relativity (between others or subjects)
=

"We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities for growth.

We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them the people have a further right to alter it or abolish it. The British government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally, and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraji or complete sovereignty and self-rule"

- The Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi.

The twenty-four day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Mar

YES SALT ONCE AS CURRENCY AND RULE!

Text from Declaration of sovereignty and self-rule, or "Purna Swaraj"

I love the irony of "American Dream" which itself is the lure and trap itself for people to go there under false pretences

"Come here and we'll exploit you AND your dreams even faster"

Such a perfect game taking advantage of the dreams and presenting displaced luxury from elsewhere as the emotional impulse for people to think they can 'do better' under the same kind of rule / a *slightly* more polite kind tyranny and financial hammer to the face to stay alive.

Simple Meme vs. My Own Advanced Story version when it comes to selling / adding price to things

This shows that free stuff or giveaway items has some important context though at first seems 'easy' (the faults of TL;DR / short stories / faults of memes)

Because even free is not a clear subject (Free as in 0 money)...

Are you serious? I always have to fight to find a fridge and scavenge the pump from it.
Within 2 hours from it being dumped all valuable parts are gone.

@rastinza LOL hard times :)

Depends where you are - more luck to you.... with err fridges which yeh more useful than one seems (in the right hands as always)...

Also do you mean people take the stuff out where it stood originally like getting heir screwdriver out etc and then you come to it and realise the pump you wanted is gone?

and obviously point was more about the mentality

Yes, people come and scavenge parts, specially metal pieces that can be resold

MY EINSTEIN MOMENT

MY ANSWER TO:
why people prefer to stay in a group
even a bad one

I see heart shapes everywhere.

Well on the internet too but I've really I've seen a lot of these pictures outside that I've put on 1 page... (and I'm sure you have too!)

Love is everywhere!
All you have to do is look for it....

(..or just click the link above!)


(to be pinned)...

For impossible things I suggest you give it more chance more often, as usually it's your perception that underestimates things and not the reality because you assume it isn't achievable or don't stick with it...

even in the extreme things which I would normally exclude it would still make sense to contact more people or leave a note on your profile is much better than 0 signal to people...

...then it just might happen or it might come to you (a person or opportunity) and at the least increments closer to it happening! Like putting more signs in more places or putting a sticker on your bag or badge on your clothing!

In other words:
- Giving 0 chance doesn't increase chances

- Casually you can increase chances (not over trying either)

- <0 chance is saying "no it can't happen" to yourself, and that "no point" even in the preparing of the thought you cut it off (making sure it won't happen)

:o ]

Give it a bit more chance and a bit more often like 1% more! Then finally do it once you see how a domino or cascading waterfall effect works!

Most people's perception is wrong and underestimating the effects of trying inside a colony of ants which has unknown domino chain effects multiple reaction person to person long-way short-way logic illogical - ways - around stuff!

I'm a Barbie girl in my text-only world... โŒจ๏ธ

It's fantastic, but a worldwide pandemic โš ๏ธ

Come on Barbie human party :ablobparty:
Ah-ah-yeah...

Come on Barbie some audio-only?
NOoo NOoo

(for all the Barbies who don't want to audio chat - you lock out the world - and it ain't getting better turtle-shelling / being over-defensive or scared...

and if you're not scared :blobscream: then do say why reasonably :thumbsup_hmn_g1: โ˜‘๏ธ ๐ŸŒˆ ).

I know there are people who don't understand why text does and doesn't work. But too many run for the hills... I couldn't think of a chicken song...

OwnCast is great but the level of dead data / droppd data afterwards is a terrible exchange.
Per second is 1mb/s up and down stream eating energy away and for static stuff mostly watching someone doing not much... even regardless of crappy topics I don't like even my stuff it would be hard to justify and mostly for the chat sidebar (similar to Jitsi in Audio/Video chat).

people have to imagine more of a cost about what they are doing and even allow downgrading quality -

The MASSIVE disposable data and bandwidth I personally would justify even for my own 'best' stuff. (If I have one tomorrow kill me!... but if you do like / hate the idea also do let me know as I was thinking before "live" is better than "text-only" or "unanimated" teaching / education / awareness) so it makes sense even at HUGE GB's of watching we will still watch people on screen - a double edged thing usually not working out well

SUGGESTION: At least make stream resolution selectable @ 140p / 240p / 360p video or audio only since even best talks or DJ we might not want to watch all the time and get back to our own work but would listen in like a radio a bit longer...
Would be hard to leave data streaming like that much like leaving a tap on...

Otherwise just another hole for data to be wasted and burned and apart from 'fun' it might just become another standard between those that don't understand (like having 12MP photos and asking services to given them more cloud space / buying new hard drives when they could just keep 5MP pictures or choose what is 12MP a bit more specifically!)

The cost makes me want to cut off my arm to save the body!

(in this case, save the planet's energy and our own bandwidths per second)

You can measure UP/DOWN data load using a bandwidth tool (yes you would be surprised!)

If you want to see the shit people are trying (fair enough for a bit of testing) then watch this profile to get updates on people streaming...

botsin.space/@owncast

We could do more educational things better I feel... But then again probably nobody would watch like their channels too!

I'm eating mostly apples all day...

Fallen apples, from one tree,.

Eating the parts that are good then throwing the apples in a bucket inside and then on to the field...

Saving me a lot of money and I still have a lot to mix it up with which I mention below:

But I wait until I've had enough of the apples before I start with these other things for food:

- Bees wax (from bee maintenance / seasons honey)

- Muesli / Cereals (got expensive
- Oats / Flakes of Grain (I use this to dilute the above)
- Potatoes and Pasta
- Cucumbers / Tomatoes
- Plum trees (just not ripening) the oval types but round cherry types around
- Peanut Butter / Jams

for thought
