🔴 💳 #Anonymous #payment #card
@rose
💬 Something like a #universal #gift #card

🔴 PRIVACY / BANK TRACKING
@dangoodin
💬 The tracking of your hourly whereabouts, your purchases and your contacts seems like a high price to me. YMMV.

🔴 💸 RISK OF CASH
@iagox86
💬 ... I imagine the risk of robbery balances is higher than the transaction cost (at least in their mind).

🔴 💸 NO NEED PROTECTION FOR SMALL ITEMS
@femme_mal
💬 I don't need the protections a card offers on purchases of fresh vegetables at the local farm market but the purchase of hard goods like a new refrigerator certainly merits them.

🔴 💳 Card Convenience
@jawnsy
💬 Convenience is why SCADA systems are accessible on the Internet 🫣

🔴 💳 + 💸 Cash and Card
@lxskllr
💬 I'm cash everywhere aside from online purchases.

🔴 Loyalty Card = Tracking
@lauren
💬 Given the widespread use of loyalty cards to get the best prices, even paying with cash doesn't stop tracking.

🔴 Marketing should be illegal?
@kmstrube81
💬 I wonder if computers were a mistake and if marketing should be illegal.

🔴 TRUST #BIGTECH?
@lpar
💬 I trust Apple more than I trust random merchants, though. I wouldn't trust Google, since they're an advertising company.

🔴 SMALL BUSINESS SAME AS BIG BUSINESS (just smaller scale?)
@aapis / https://mastodon.world/@aapis/113844878648939499
💬 uh yes, duh? This hypothetical woman is trying to profit, yes? She’s trying to make her #business a success, yes? So are the Starbucks execs, the only difference is scale. If this woman had the power and #capital available to Starbucks, what would be different about her stores? #Capitalism

🔴 CAN'T TRUST GOVERNMENT
@dangoodin
💬 ... the #government in my country is 100% dysfunctional ...
Self remedies are the best sort of remedies. #DIY
... Expecting #governments to provide all the answers is also a losing battle. https://infosec.exchange/@dangoodin/113845620795365821

🔴 GOVERNMENTS FOR THE LONG-TERM WAY
@wavefunction
💬 Governments are the only means we have to actually "win" the battle. If it's you versus a corporation, you're already losing. They will always have more power and resources than an individual and will always spend more #money than you to make it their way.

🔴 RISK AS AN EXCUSE?
@dangoodin
💬 The people complaining about having cash stolen are usually the same ones carrying an $800 phone in their pocket.

🔴 #CASH NEEDED #LEGAL PROTECTION
@shansterable@c.im
💬 In 2023, the King County council in #Washington state voted to require #retail businesses to accept cash because it was becoming such an issue.

🔴 LESS TAXES
@tyn
💬 defund the #state!

🔴 GIFT CERT / CARD @epicdemiologist
💬 large gift #certificate (via #check)

🔴 CASH COST TIME / ACCOUNTING AFTER
@jarek@mastodon.online
💬 Handling cash costs money too... Accounting... translates to employee #time... I think your local #merchant is naive.
+
💬 ...(costs of processing cash, costs of #bookkeeping, ease with which cash can be skimmed off by employees, risk of robbery, etc). @thomasareed

🔴 SMALL CONSIDERATIONS HARD TO COUNT
@bluGill
💬 It is hard to figure out what the real cost of cash is as so many of those things seem like little and so you don't count.

🔴 Tipping considerations...
@thomasareed
💬 #tipping a lot more personal, private, and potentially more deliberate.

🔴 CASH FOR THOSE WITH NO BANK 🏦
💬 ...businesses that don't accept cash are being #discriminatory against people who don't have access to banks accounts, such as homeless, extreme low income, or newcomers to our country. It's a way of "keeping the riffraff out" their businesses. #discrimination
@OhOkKay

🔴 MONERO ALTERNATIVE
💬 even #Monero would be less expensive than #CreditCards!
@kkarhan

🔴 CASH RECEIPTS 📋
💬 A lot of restaurants in #Germany won’t produce a receipt if you pay in cash.

#Quote "I see the rivers fall and rise with the rains, 🌧️

I mark time with the phases of the moon, 🌔

I orient myself easily to the position of the sun in the sky. 🌄

The leaves bud, grow, and fall; different flowers bloom and vanish; birds behave differently in mating and nesting seasons;

one morning I even saw a doe suckling two young fawns, 🦌
before they noticed me and bounded away.

In the summer I rise before dawn to bike into the sunrise, 🌅

and its position relative to the straight east-west roads can be read as a calendar. " 📆

💗 📈 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...

I thought about the closed-fist for while now on and off.. nothing too bad

But when I saw this picture, it made it clearer about the open hand upwards instead.

The open hand seems more in line with many other things and more 'friendly' or less combative. Even in #Aikido and other arts it seems rather less harmless (until actually you're on you're flat on your back perhaps or hit with something if coming too close)... so yes it's less force showing perhaps at the beginning and on a human level or in photos showing people, I think showing force can be one-notch down so it's not worrying for others...

A Fist #celebration is not bad - just this seems clearer, gentler, less misunderstood, safer with open hand upward with back of the hand showing.

Picture text reads:

Open Hand, Upwards
#Sky / #God / #Cosmos
Giving Credit to Above ?
Gentler Gesture to Everything

Important to note open doesn't seem to be against anyone or suggest that...

⬇️ Other sub-topic notes below ⬇️

⚫ MARTIAL ARTS
Some #MartialArts / #Aikido / #Judo / #BJJ / #Jujitsu / #MMA use the open hand until the fist is really necessary. So not always the first tool perhaps.

⚫ LIBERATION
Fist in the air more straight up seems to suggest (or we learned from history) #freedom or self-liberation - #self-power. Which is fair enough and I like these too - perhaps the bent elbow seems to ruing that a bit for me personally... still thinking about it.

⚫ PRIMITIVE REACTION TEST
I think for conflict (as life is a kind of constant #conflict or #negotiation naturally between one or many humans in this context of photos) #gestures can have a primitive-first feeling as well as the more educated layered #interpretation after.

So by asking the question about how it feel on a #primitive level this might give more result to how you feel (as best as you can feel primitively or first-feeling):

✊ ❓ If you saw a fist in the air ✊
or showed that gesture to another human then how would they feel on a #primitive or first-feeling level... I know most of the time it's for a photo etc and depends on the position, but for on-lookers let's say it's some kind of #victory or #power or #muscle or something shown.

Now try asking

❓ If you saw an open hand in the air or towards the #sky 👋 ✋
or showed that to another human, then how does that feel / look ?

I hope you already feel it just from description...

Can even forget the God aspect if you felt that or got the idea for the words, although there seems a bit of that "giving thanks to something other than us. Open seems nicer or not over-saying much. Maybe not say a lot also which is safer!

⚫ PHYSICAL POSTURE / PHYSICALITY 💪
Perhaps the fist also shows bicep more and is a bit more #clenched even though it's not a pure flex and more diagonally upwards... but still compared...

The #hand in air the with the arm and elbow pointing forward to camera is not showing #bicep #muscle. 💪 and mostly open hand ✋ (back of hand and almost all is pointing up ⬆️ )

And open hand is giving (as well as receiving - a too way thing that fist doesn't seem to naturally have)
I think even with bad people we need to somehow take care of them too - while not allowing them all the way in either, but not to have it only on a power vs. power level but cooperation instead of force vs force level (again without letting people pretending inside things to do their bad work again). Some chance of redemption or doing better between us without anyone totally giving in or instantly being considered good either... the giving and receiving seems to allow more of a chance than everyone with fists and more gladiatorial #liberation.

HASHTAGS
I'm pointing to some of the key words here hashtags during this post.

⚫ Let me know how you feel
[ open hand gesture 😃✋ ⬆️ ☁️ ]

⚫ MY FEELING AFTER WRITING THIS...

(A BIT LONG MOSTLY ON THE #MYSTERY OF LIFE)

I did consider that now I've (over)explained it all that it might suggest #god and #sky more, but whatever that we don't know that gives us so much around and keep our spirits in our #body... (ether, love etc etc)

I don't think that really offends anyone unless already a bit racist or worried about #religion or something else which is also fair enough too on some level of seeing smoething new - like "why are they using hand upwards and sometimes in the picture looking up" but again not the physical kind of mis-interpretation so seems safer if a bit stranger occasionally...

whatever holds things together and keep our spirits in our #body... (etc

So I'd like more #thankfulness / #gentleness in life, not assuming man is the beginning and end... thanks to whatever holds things together and keep our spirits in our #body...

And the open hand that receives even if it doesn't know, trusting a bit...

Towards less physical conflict / more brains / less #violence encouraging better things for all.

Not saying not to use a fist

Just having something other than us we don't know seem to help #mankind to remember or feel good that something else is doing a lot of the work for us and between us. We're not in 100% control.

⚫ KEEP A BIT OF MYSTERY
I don't mind this idea of mysterious / unsolved thing in life around us and invisible as I think 100% there is a bit of mystery and don't have to call it god or make it up, just there are other things of the planet which takes care of us (or allows us) some we see easily, some we don't.

GIVING THANKS
A kind of giving thanks to all that we don't see / know (just for being alive I guess) seem nice #gesture.

- Jimmy Carter, about 45 years ago

...It does not satisfy our longing for meaning "

MY COMMENTS FOR TRUMP / MAINSTREAM NEWS ETC

💬 Hating basically wastes time instead of building each other up... Spending too much time spamming hate post on hashtags like #Trump, #Zuckerberg, AlexJones, #Musk, #Obama #Bezos, etc

You are spreading all the bad news by doing too much there and not actually making friends with the world... here.

Make #friendship means just 1 other more-real person contacted which is a lot more progressive and shares real possibility to find relativity and mutal help...

More than throwing tomatoes at those fake leaders who are anyway put there to occupy our time.

We are not actually achieving much unless we make #friendship and build trust between me and you... (it can be measurable and done step by step) and I mean literally me and then 1 by 1 everyone else... 🌐

#FreeSchool is my hashtag

#Human #Identity - not about #Wealth only

Go and work WITH the #Earth - #Earth work first...

Go and work WITH #Earth

#Earth work first
#ManMade "work" later

#Mankind has mostly lost it or needs time....

So although we often work with people, we need not forget Earth.

Earth first or as the main and making sure daily work is the Earth and not the bad work first (#finance #banks etc) . As food gets more expensive this gets immediately obvious for 1 carrot (I entirely lived on about 5 wheelbarrows of Pumpkin which near grew themselves AND can withstand freeze - last one I'm just having)

Completely and merge the two - Earth and people - but Earth first or as the #platform.

Most man-made work is now aimed at killing / extracting earth.

Earth first... I can give basic setup and #help as you go even in theory... let me know. 🌍 🌎 🌏

You can still have your internet there and hybrid things towards Earth a bit more!

Not #Banks but #EarthFirst
#EarthWorkFirst #2025

Cory Doctorow vs Molly White #Quotes

💬 #Enshittification comes naturally from capital invested or *the leverage* from capital invested?

@pluralistic vs @molly0xfff

(framed as "vs" just to get some reply points from people and potential answers about comment below...)

💬 Molly says
"Cory Doctorow provides his perspective on Bluesky, including on their recent funding round. I particularly like his point: “Plenty of people have commented that now that a VC is holding Bluesky's purse-strings, enshittification will surely follow (doubly so because the VC is called ‘Blockchain Capital,’ which, at this point, might as well be ‘Grifty Scam Caveat Emptor Capital’). But I don't agree with this at all. It's not outside capital that leads to enshittification, it's leverage that enshittifies a service.”

Make more #friends...
...with the #world
...with the #fediverse ?

And see things improve / discover more!

✔️ This is "for the way" that begins finding the #answers and #solutions to most problems...?
IT IS the #answer itself mostly to finding the other answers!

Start making friends daily and see what happens!

Hi, nice to meet you...
(remember we're all a part of each other + come from similar origins)

#Commercialisation ...of #TV 📺 #Internet 🌐 ...and Earth 🌎
(and Adverts in Everything!)

Like the diluting of what was once pure, it then gets watered down or advert-packed to keep us watching... (... adverts).

That's what this is about mainly:

" #Maximising " things and cashing it in towards their death (inevitably pushing and killing things after helping feed or creat them - steady profiting more and more as time goes on).

THE REST BELOW EXPANDS ON THAT - ABOVE IS THE MAIN

⏺️ DISCLAIMER 1
While everything was "pure" before (or geeky or niche or even rarely practices) was always going to do bigger things the more interest there was building for it. So I accept even the Internet itself from modems and BBS Bulletin board system to broadband you people enjoy (I'm almost still on modems lol!) means that commercialisation was inevitable and mostly needed EVEN THOUGH the TONS of money and $tate infrastructure is charging planet and us PLENTY for the broadband-drug streaming to us per month which companies can increase price or adverts into our addiction-filled lives - so adverts are naturally with that... [shrug] ...especially as they test and find tolerance levels...

⏺️ ❓ What's your golden period? ❓
"THE" golden period I think of is the 2000's as we had the best of everything, early broadband or even just before with personally crafted crappy custom HTML sites, ecologic internet (telephone lines and modem) and less addiction (lower baud speeds) etc etc - 1 film a day MAX! Ok maybe a bit more on braodband but picking and choosing was good as naturally any human goes out of control with 'all you can eat' entertainment...

⏺️ BACK TO TODAY
Blogs becoming the same kind of advert rolls in between text (or is it text in between advert rolls), now each page is almost the same copy and pasted version or setup perfecting what was the SEO search engine with keywords and other tactics so everything now looks the same for anything non-Wikipedia or other than official pages. Now the system is too good and technical availability being taken advantage of at the cost of quality or even genuine interest (it's all just for money isn't it?)

⏺️ SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMENT JUST MENTIONED IN PASSING...
A comment by @GhostOnTheHalfShell / GhostOnTheHalfShell's affirms some of these types of things that happen to a TV series that "slowly was crushed by never increasing commercial schedule, which is to say that the show barely had any content"
Post: https://masto.ai/@GhostOnTheHalfShell/113667146693587788

⏺️ DISCLAIMER 2:
I admit content being drawn out and advert-filled doesn't mean the quality or worth is always less (#NationalGeographic #Wildlife TV stuff I'm thinking of where you can get tea in between or really do something else and come back to it when it gets interesting again). Even if overall the enjoyment process is changed it doesn't make it instantly crap... And since TV back then, the downloading of episodes (TV had unavoidable adverts back then)... which was solved temporarily until streaming came along and it's like being back on TV but via internet with it's tracking engines and more!

but anyway....

⏺️ OVERALL yes the feeling is that *feeding* #habits also becomes too much, too pure, too watered down or whatever too much... too much is bad, too much is too much... whoever is supplying it and we have to say no / I need less / I have to moderate it to only *this* part of my life which is hard with 'educational things' especially that turn out to be EVERYTHING!

⏺️ ❓ I hope it all amounts to something and we do get #wiser and more #ECOLOGICALLY #practical, more than #capitalist consuming and find ways to trap people to watch adverts or be tracked in our online habits...
