Everyone needs a war to fight...

Something to participate in, contribute to and live for... BUT

BUT war could also be more of a tough battle of logic, empathy etc - just something more than physical attrition and monetary power. more towards mental health and therapy while still "doing something about everything".

not just

Run Linux (Install or Test) using only 1 USB drive (for Beginners - Basic Guide)... 

Try another operating system without risk!

Run Linux using 1 USB memory drive!

Forget CD / DVD 💿 unless really old like 20 years - USB is more accessible and reliable... speed difference is minor...

Test without any hard drive - Optionally install after testing along side your Windows (or just reset back into your existing operating system).

Just 1 USB drive setup correctly allows you to test drive almost any Linux system like Ubuntu or Mint simply by downloading the ISO for it.

=============================
How to try Linux? (an alternative to Windows)
=============================

Main steps

1- Download YUMI - a Multiboot USB Creator (currently 2.0.9.4)

pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multibo

2- Use YUMI to format USB drive

3- Download Linux Ubuntu or Linux Mint ISO (2 or 3gb file)
- Version 18 Ubuntu seems best / robust for example

4- Use YUMI to add the downloaded Linux ISO to USB
(YUMI allows as many to be added by copying tovia it's menu to USB)

5- Re-Boot + start system from USB drive. Your available Linux version will show in list - run any listed.

6- You're now in and testing the new operating system - That's it!

No install, but shortcut icon from the desktop allows you to optionally install if you want it and have it on a hard drive installed.

==================
NOTES ABOUT INSTALLING
==================
ISO's are 1 file containers with the operating system (for Ubuntu or Mint in this case) AND these already include a strong disk manager and fixer called GParted (GNOME Partition Editor) so you don't have to download anything separate if you decide to install to an existing disk, you can manage it here in one go.

GNOME Partition Editor can be seen here also as a separate download:
sourceforge.net/projects/gpart - but again it's included in the ISO so it is very handy to re-organise disks AND install.

Even if you don't want to use Linux you can have a USB with disk tools and even other repair ISO (almost anything) on 1 portable USB toolset.

ATARI 51years ago! (+your childhood included I assume!) 

Here's my own animated creation using stock graphic of a cassette + animating it.

As a "cheers" to Atari, and homage to what I kind of kinda literally 'LOOP'ed into... (I had nothing better to play with... and then PC came along an well whadda know still using that too!)

Atari name comes from the Japanese term atari, used while playing the ancient board game Go.
(bet you didn't know that!)

And that it was an American company with Japanese sounding name ?

The word atari means "to hit a target" in Japanese and is associated with good fortune; in Go, it indicates a situation where a player will be able to capture one or more stones of the opponent in the next move.

😃 The company fizzled and perhaps Amiga was better but what a storm all that time was!

💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣
Which of the pictures on the Wiki page do you most recognise?

(Wiki Pictures on the right show the evolution of Atari stuff)

Gradualism or Grandma's Footsteps - reminds me of a "Creeping normality"... 

A process by which a major change can be accepted as normal and acceptable if it happens gradually through small, often unnoticeable, increments of change.

The change could otherwise be regarded as remarkable and objectionable if it took hold suddenly or in a short time span.

==================

Metaphors related to creeping normality:

Boiling frog
Camel's nose
Lingchi
"First they came ..."
Habituation
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
Moving the goalposts
Normalisation of deviance
Overton window
Principiis obsta (et respice finem) - 'resist the beginnings (and consider the end)'
Salami tactics
Shifting baseline
Slippery slope
Technological change as a social process
Tyranny of small decisions
Conformity
Peer pressure
Spiral of silence

=================

How to play "Grandma's Footsteps"

- 1 person is 'grandma' standing with their back to the rest. Everyone else starts trying to creep up on grandma, freezing when she turns around suddenly.

Or push prices up gradually and suddenly for food, rent, housing, inflation etc!

Using YouTube directly (without tracking filter?) 

Using YouTube directly (without tracking filter) doesn't help free, libre software movements, including Mastodon I believe.

We could all use invidious.privacyredirect.com/ instead for better links (ad-free / no tracking on Youtube):

Overton window - horizontal version... 

"Overton window" is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time - also known as the window of discourse.

Picture is my edited horizontal 'window' version of the vertical Wikipedia version (that didn't make as much sense to me vertically in the original).

System of Love... System of Care between people as a more responsible and human "System"... which we can't always buy or sell (picture & text)

==================
EXTENDED INTRO
==================

These words related to love and respect for each human.

(and once they learn / share / practice it's techniques and sentiments they understand how it works and is mostly circularly / reciprocated).

Landlords and Warlords are in the same category and lexicon... ⛓️ :slave

Landlords are only a bit smaller but MUCH like those lording over people... almost owning them.

If you never 'enjoyed' the rent going up you will soon understand why all the feelings in this post...

YouTube + Google Links invading Fediverse!... Is that ok? 

Do you understand how links INSIDE FEDIVERSE :fediverse: = tracking / mining / analytical stats for them?

Fediverse is basically offering itself for dinner and cash to !! 🥩 🍽️ :google: :youtube:

(less commercial links would be good, *maybe* :peertube: or invidious.io filtered links?)

Picture: Admin and Makers MUST consider Google, else get absorbed directly or through it's users - IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND HAZARDOUS NOT TO FOLLOW THROUGH YOUR OWN NON-PROFIT ETHOS (i.e. Encourage USERS similar open source filtered links or understand linking fediverse = mining, tracking etc)... Right now it's invisible and some will follow because Eugen /

Mastodon's creator said so -

MONEY BUYS... ...LOVE OR DEATH (MORE OFTEN) 

Maybe not be the best worded post but:

Wars are good (perhaps better?) for spending and doing "business"... and you're ok with buying into it (?)

From chemicals in soil to the sprays and all extra stuff not worthy of our habitat eroding faster, supplied by supermarkets... you have to wonder what man is aiming for mostly in all that...?

LOVE (LOOKING FOR ANOTHER WAY, FEEDING PEOPLE, REGENERATION)

DEATH (BULLETS, TERRITORY, WAR, PROFIT, POPULARITY, ELIMINATION, POLLUTION, IGNORANCE, NOT LISTENING ETC)

Audio for Richard Stallman + Communities RE: "Humanising the Movement" / SpeakPipe.com for more audio feedback or interaction... 

I asked RMS about the merits of "Humanising the Movement" - primarily to allow and encourage more audio interaction for those who enjoy it - not everyone but audio messages as an outlet and expression for people and growth and improvement-as-we-go in expression that naturally happens in community practising it!

➡️ 🎤 Listen to Audio below: 🎤
bin.dembased.xyz/audio-for-rms

====================
⬇️ MORE TEXT IF INTERESTED
(BUT AUDIO IS EXPRESSES BASICS)
====================
A website can easily allow people to choose to record a message and make the process easier than email (as fans, feedback and expression of topics).
Email will still work for those that really want to Richard Stallman (for example in this case) or to anyone or who is checking on his behalf. I suggested myself to sort things with disclaimer put before that "someone else will be trusted to listen to their email and will also will be disposed of after making notes... because I have done this before and can process 100's a day and make notes / reply fast etc etc showing results and trust... but also it could be his staff or whoever taking this idea - mostly I have more time than almost all the Fediverse who have a job that takes up all their time.

Something more human is also what RMS needs from a largely disconnected / email / text-only movement he / we built up or ended up in so that can be part of something more human, more than not.

Community and Communication go together so intrinsically.

I can filter and note down various notes and make summary... from chalking up another 'thanks' email to 10 people mentioning the same thing and don't have Facebook account (RMS has only a 1 way only account on Fediverse) - so audio or more ways might be 100% better than ignoring and even being overwhelmed by emaill...

ALSO SOME "TIME" METRICS
- 5 emails = 5mins minimum (maybe 20minutes)
or
- 2 audio messages 5mins each but better understanding and better relationship in the end
(even if it's just a 1 ways audio not needed a reply)

I tried to say to RMS "you are behind on emails as you are the bottleneck and only one answering"

in 10minutes audio you often are actually better off explaining in this medium, because in audio you can say a lot more in 1 min than typing text / reading text.

I get more info sometimes and their tone and perspective where email sometimes score Near-0 for understanding "Where the fuck is this person wanting to go or wanting from me?" 10 emails can take more than 10 mins (for each writer and reader which was what was happening with me and RMS and quickly going backwards in progress and repetitive... also fragmented and had to remind him stuff...

So as audio form, if it could be made much easier to send (like 1-click like Telegram, Signal) with near-0 work (like 1 website or copying what speakpipe.com has) then we can really make progress and have variety for many types of people.

This was what my audio suggested to Richard
to check out speakpipe.com and imagine some tweaks.

Voice messages could fill up in a directory and I could filter them!

*** Stallman was only able to listen to 1min from 10mins ***

- so even though he had the audio already, he didn't want to listen onwards...
Quite terrible perhaps and but maybe this is EXACTLY THE EXAMPLE of why things don't work or limited in email-only realm.
(I did also work with him before and work was done fast / enjoyable once clear!)

He did listen to 1min so I am 'thankful' but continuing 9 more minutes audio (lol) could have creatively been done during something else even nonchalant -
so something I think could be since he doesn't get why humanising interaction and audio, even if it's one way - I wasn't saying he had to reply by audio!

He sent me reply saying he didn't see it worth listening to the rest even though he had the audio file downloaded.

So I would like to solve this / practise better and more people doing basically better than 1min!

If you listened to the audio, congrats!

WE CANNOT CONTINUE without voice or with those types that non-starters with more human stuff (is odd to write that but shows how text and computer things are now)

Even by email he was saying repetitive and time consuming 'valuing his time' but wasting it.

Most my life it feels I have found all these types of people or it's most of humanity like talking through computers - just different 'personalities' or different 'species' like cat and dog that don't understand what humanity is or needs, they are almost different animals! But practising better I think can help enjoy the right things again... rather than run away!

This audio might be a project idea for you or a Techie who can set up the same as SpeakPipe.com

All so it can be a human movement for humans !

At least 1 person or 1 setup of it as a test to see what I mean...

Because without humanisms I'm quite sure nothing works and misses the whole point and reinforced differences - and more importantly, without audio, it skips the improvement factor of "as-we-work" human voice and humanism effects - we are not improving without it in plain or 'rich' text!.

I guess most computer-heads just won't get some of these paragraphs... like a kind of cat or dog basically !

But I'm hoping 1 or 2 can be concerned with making this get in touch to make more of a HUMAN movement (which is almost all of them I think aiming to solve human things) and take care of any assumptions not said explicitly here. Just ask

AND BOOST! THANKS

Eating McDonald's fast food internet? American-style Consumerism? 

Modem speeds would fix and return our focus in a lot ways healthier.

McDonalds fast food / broadband doesn't help when we don't have better things to do and eat too much data... (therefore energy... time... and storage... components.... and so on... and demand resources = from war basically ...).
