Frequent Points of Serious Change

Science fun for kids and adults

I kinda wish these were your videos instead of other people's I'll never talk to...

Apart from the clips some other video links recommended

Video [Killing energy] vs. Audio [small filesize]

A bit of a comparison of static videos or any video that isn't needed/useful or the people or visual don't move much at all.

Even meetings / conferences / conversations I'd include and go for audio only.

Example: YouTube video with static image / cover art for conversation...

https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=H2I8cBpsUnc&t=1

(if you want to play don't play 857mb video, download and lay audio as it's only 67mb!)

Total media on YouTube needed = many Gb's [3/4/5?]

or let's work it out a bit

67mb Audio ~64kps [500k per minute]
+ 257mb /Video 360p
+ 857mb /MP4 Video 720p
+ 1500mb /MP4 Video 1080p
+ smaller 144p, 240p videos [xxx mbs)
+ video only files for each of above in MP4 AND WEBM!!!
+ example 118MB /WEBM + MP4 similar copy
+ audio only /multiple copies
+ example 140kbps
x2 (in MP4 AND WEBM audio only form)

Strangely this one didn't have 1080p BUT does have VIDEO ONLY lol so another 1.5gb on top just not the audio+video version which would be more!...

So just for 2 people talking.. this is the kind of #ecology madness FOR 1 VIDEO that is a real killer for ecology (and water shortages as data centres 'spring' up everywhere, encouraging more land grabs too and fortification of data)

POINTS OF CONTRAST
- you might think people might notice these things, ok me yes... but people easily don't notice also or just stick it on without verification of 'what the fuck is it doing to my bandwidth' and it's default to play at max res!
or even medium I don't use... 360p is for the way (if not audio as 1st gear!)
So it's fault of you and youtube perhaps... (haven't see where you can set global quality to lowest on YouTube, Invidious, PeerTube, Odysee etc!
Max 1080p in peertube for example is terrible even for normal videos, even for those that catch it still the processing of computer is stopping things being smooth or unbloated... unneeded watching for a few seconds or minutes and then "why is it so slow" and then "oh it's trying to download movie size DVD's for 1 youtube video" hmm good business that - WE NEED MORE DATA CENTRES !!

So if you watching inside small box or switching tabs while working - use audio or lower res - FANKS

Either way a big drain is happening and well we could help that.

SUGGESTIONS for service AND users

- the default settings [YouTube responsible]
- currently settings [User responsible]
both could be permanent / global / cookie / low first etc

- Multiple versions always end up bad
1080p + 720p + 360p + video only copies (MP4 + WEBM) + audio versions ... just crazy

all the time up and down streams.. every second of the day
x how users ?
x how videos ? !!!!!

gigabytes multiplied by x trillions of views and users

Other ways to say it:
-Bloat vs. Compact
-Static Video Image vs Only Audio stream

Will revisit this and perhaps merge, thanks

TEXT is not the greatest filter for human communication so I suggest occasionally back to audio chat (not even video) with someone you like the profile of
(or just me in this case!)

Now you may not always want human voice or video but contact mainly via text is almost a modern killer if you were to keep all those misunderstood emails and how often people didn't respond / ignored you because they 'felt' awkward or were not sure about you behind text.
If fact you might not even remember those emails unresponded and the time you put in to send it but sometimes it's like 20emails (reading/writing/askign again) for something 10mins would have sorted...

So it's the same for Mastodon perhaps but at least we know it was delivered here hoorah and see the profiles / interesting things to talk about!)

For most humans that can't do text or have done too much text-based filters (like in their job) they want to talk so this is a instant way I recommend and open source / safest way I know while being accessible by only browser (no reg / no signup or Big company)

The live talk is what we prefer even if we lost practise and direct adjustments are better instead of SMS to girlfriend type of signals which are interpreted based on mood perhaps and not being personal or polite as in person is more in person.

So try Jitsi for instant chat
https://meet.jit.si/chat123 <--- or change to any chatroom name

I offer you a bit of audio conversation with someone totally different perspective...

Do get in contact
... even if contact is by text to start with
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm interested in:
-Peer-to-peer
-Mutual interests...
-The world
- Giving back to humanity / community in the smaller and larger senses...

Just send me a message anytime...

How Big Tech Finds Your Exact Location -- Even When You're Hiding It

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CS5o2AFpEJ0

Video attached is edited from 13.41mins.

**************************
Summary / paraphrased
**************************

All people are victims when using a Google Android phone
Identifiers all track you and can triangulate position (google knows where each one of it's phones are) by these methods and cross-referencing them:

APPS with privileges (big pain) + IMEI of phone + IP address + MAC address of WIFI / Network adapter + Location (EXIF in pics, GPS data etc) + Browser fingerprints + profile cookies (1 login in for all?) + nearby WIFI + Google ID / AppleID / CAPTCHAS to check you...

A lot of stuff a Linux OS will solve AND some habits it might train you out of.

So for example VPN is good but being logged into accounts or sharing just pings your location, or while watching videos might reveal things or just many things together reveal you
including Cross device tracking (not just 1 device - things connect and pair together things)

MAINLY or good start is de-googling you existing phone because Google Login or Apples AppleID or whatever are the head of snake for identifying you and making things provable (the rest, even if you click is less provable 100% but they are slowly getting here to be able to do things later using 100% evidence).

2FA needs a google app <--- hence even de-googled phone means you need to install app even if you have a Linux phone.
That is why they push for 2FA so badly.

[edited: I got a comment that 2FA does NOT need a google app but it's becoming pushed more which means they will get their way if they want it. There are allegedly plenty of self-hosted options or are included with password managers... so I don't know maybe it's not a matter of time and can be a minor point.

**********************
ANY MORE ADVICE ?

If I'm wrong please let me know.
If you have a list of your own experience with de-google phone give review.
Help others do it and De-google?

How to use a crazy-looking website?

or a website with too much info?

A simple tutorial...

If the website is giving too much data, lots of choice, etc ---> then it is for YOU also to think:
----> "Right too much info but what is it I want
-----> What do I like and can pick and choose
----> what are my own current projects and goals - can I match anything?
----> Can I do some tests / samples? Can I search keywords?

Find a way. It's in your power also.

***Even in the worst website****
(like freeschool.0id.org)
should be able to find your own direction or relativity and then get what you want and even learn more than you thought (like a book with a terrible cover!).

If you're not serious then you won't really get a serious answer.
Give it some time, keep the open a bit long and think about it.

I admit websites and interfaces vary and can be like being forced in something different but it can be like a personality (not the persons always as it's just technology) but with basic text and pictures words there you caan 'crack the code!' and they don't change that much considering most are similar just with different front end or colour scheme...

Overall I guess it's better to think why am I here, can I try a bit and then also contact them?
Also let someone guide you through their own 'house' or see it as history and even a bit of a relic to adventure

We can't assume standard lives or technology always! But the basic text and pictures are reassuringly there.

I write this because people seem to give up INSTANTLY on seeing lots of information (like what a website should do but too much... as well as summaries and super-short feel-good stuff)

If you met Einstein like I did (in my dreams) then you might see a messy desk as something actually positive and refreshing so you can expect smoething more interesting or even fireworks for thoughts instead of 'sterile mainstream' commercial version lacking any personality and playing it too safe.

Eintsein even used to keep a messy desk! (and not saying you can't change things once in a while).

For example on freeschool.0id.org/ you can also change view, like:
- list all posts
- category view
- random!
- picture slideshow view
- last 5 in each category

Make big companies PAY for FOSS that is not free for big companies!!! Lawyers UNITE!...

Business Opportunity for Free Software Lawyers:

- Get money from big companies
- Make liable existing people using FOSS without paying
- Rinse and repeat

Legally force companies using libraries without paying for FOSS... to pay!

WHY?
FOSS libraries used by big companies are now not paid for (near 0 more than paid).
Source code used by big companies are not paid for (near 0?).

Lawyers / FSF people -----> make them accountable

Money-maker for FOSS.

Ma$$ive companies use FOSS and don't pay... enforcing this and making sure they respect terms of download helps the cause out of it's paradox and systemic rape.

If they do not cheat, we will grow (and also not cheat ourselves).
The challenges of 'Free' when companies are making M@$$ P£0F1T$

Free Software needs to draw a line when it's not free AND enforce it same as they do).

See video where it's OK for individuals BUT NOT OK FOR COMPANIES WHO NEED TO PAY AND STATISTICALLY DON'T !

If you can help me re-write this better and link more lawyers let me know.

A small ecological message to my fans - Give up your day job, it's measurably bad for you and others. That's if you can find one (some here have proven how hard it is so play another game at leat for a little while)

Find a database of farms and ecologic workers and go to work under many different places who already have places...
What's this playing 1000's rent stuff.. it's sick and such a waste / cornered market. Exit the modern sweat-shop.

I'd also help make an open version of farmers and places you can visit, already existing / growing:

http://workaway.info/

Anyone with an account welcome to share their thoughts
Or to create an account and find out. Can see lots in your area already... (if you can't find let me know)

Travel... live... die on the grass
(not the concrete). At least make some compost when you do.

Collect your shit and go gamble your life at least for a little while... to find like-minded people... I'll be here every day if you need as long as I'm alive.

Save some savings and fuck off. Find a place that will feed you for you few hours work (economically in-house people are well-worth it... and rebuild the planet... People will soon realise how valuable you are if you able to do things for them.
Give up your day job.
Go help people and planet.

I understand more about why serving is so important to me and many others (serving people is one of the ways forward)

I could have chopped this video to make quote more on-point but I think the parts reading text and accepting the visual presentation or giving benefit of any doubts though helps to also see it makes sense even if it bounces around a bit.

" Leadership is serving people
Serve the most, Lead the most "

Mixed topics (don't let it mix your emotions)

Service is leadership.
(in religious sense or not)

Giving service today is strange.

It's all about likes and followers but for what?

It's backwards in a lot of ways.

What is leadership and what is it all about

Simply to serve people.

"I see everything as self-defence and I've looked at life that way since I was a was a very small kid. 7 years old I started with Judo"

(so the above is perhaps more than the attacking style as Judo doesn't seek to destroy people but can and is able to handle themselves and others with different balances / body structures / attitudes)

"Service is how to win God's heart"

"Action is a lot louder than words"

"Get ready for what is coming, because we must unit to be ready"

We're going to have to get back to the basics, back to the bartering system

Most people are going to lose their homes (or can't pay rent, legal divide, financial segregation etc)
...
FEMA camps are not just for nothing and probably concentration camps everyone for some reason.

"It's up to us to take ownership."

#quotes #quote #FreeSchool #religion #god #leadership #sovereign #barter #system #serve #people

Notes:
- What's said is more the focus though human mention makes it more human.
- Regardless of God mentioned still makes sense without that attribute or only for God (for example for yourself only and/or others)

Free is abused? Feeding corporations to make more profit... AND then not paying developers?...

How does that work for you / us?...

Feeding corporations AND not even paying the developers / individuals?
Corporations who use those under them to prop them up?
Seems like a bit of bum deal even without hating I don't get how it works more than what we have already and could stick to more than create new monsters...

I think that's a limitation of FOSS / Open Source though I guess I'm saying also how good corporations are at abusing it at the same time (as well as saying we might know better than to give it to them just like that in a bad process... if you agree).

Clever people also probably have a hard time not doing things the like doing and end up still doing things even when they make little sense (for who it's for or if there is little money in it) and simply can't even keep a lid on it if they see their work being abused if they tried!).

That's where I think we could say we have enough people doing as we have had plenty and look what people did (suck us dry and still expect more)...

It's probably time naturally from seeing diminishing returns / lack of improvement in this to switch areas of us 'digging' there and look at what we're doing and for who... and do something else or more people orientated.

At some point any game is 'enough is enough' and seeing it flanked constantly and used against us by corporations means just leaving them to that game as we can't win (lack of resources, banks yadayadayada) and at least give it a rest for while unless you are actually think you changing people's mentality here (not just releasing tech for corporations to pick up on, patent, remix, repackage etc).
This is why I value GNU as it has at least a kind of philosophy, legal aspect and many more things connected towards a humanitarian endpoint in it's usage (even if that is also abused and maybe is similar to everything else hmm)

I don't want to stop people dead in their tracks or try to show all progress as being bad... but well it is actually possible that is the case.
In bad hands well, you can imagine all goes wrong... so ask if corporations and governments are doing well scandal after scandal... and paying the right people?
Fuck it don't make me any more free stuff! Just don't give them ammunition please!
So without too much emotion I think that's the case and video supports that.

"OK WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER"
I don't claim 1 answer other than fixing / changing people's mentality on how they do things / use it and even the problems working together to develop it... (such as money, person stuff that blows up projects etc)

So more on that only if you ask. Just enough is enough for now,

Computers and code being faster than people BEAT people in many ways (even if you didn't use you plugin that way).
That the main message that currently it's not working out too well considering opposition feeding from us (you, me, them) and not giving a shit apart from profits. The average person DOESN'T UNDERSTAND the shit you do and obviously losing out to the speed and code versus understanding and technology wins (it's your fault AND there's but more your fault if you are more clever in seeing other people are stupid to stop giving average people and corporations hammers to play with!!)... so please help by thinking about that and consider that less is actively doing something to solve that (it is the solution while doing a bit more other stuff) as way of not letting it get out of hand and actually working on the humans that use these things more than great code that gets plugged into guns.
Hard to see but technology as a mechanism is exactly like a gun (or long lines of codes together able to execute as click of a button or flick of a switch).

Video confirms some of this.
I can't ignore all that for people playing games more than humanitarian type stuff. It does come back to that and choosing which to invest and bottle time into is important and also a risk / gamble.

@caranmegil The truth is taking over...
the undeniable truth...

I think these sentences about jobs etc are pretty spot on right?
Like things to keep to yourself almost so true and let others find them also....
(click this post to see)

It feels so clear and getting so obvious that for jobs it's lost it's meaning just like everything else with the same techniques applied, and we realise it was all a tangent and design by war-mongers...

and that maybe one day they / it might actually disappear somehow... or somehow like a cloud just fade. A kind of indirect reset or starting from scratch. The truth coming forward making the rest irrelevant and even forgettingit.
A bit like they / their design never existed.
Not sure how but I get these feelings...

We manage our farm in such a way that people, animals, plants and the soil do well, today and in the future. Through our involvement on the farm, we gain insight into the interrelationships of soil, season, growth and labour used. We take responsibility for a part of our livelihood: the production of food. We share costs, effort and profit. We practice self-management and co-determination and create space for social and cultural projects.

Humble Fans of Shitposters gather round... gather round...

I made a post praising any group of people (or however you identify yourself) who can respond quickly and enjoy their own field of well basic posting and replying!! In somewhat mild spirit of revenge for everyone not talking more often with randoms this is honouring those that can.. and while shit maybe in the wording (and avatar sometimes!), sometimes any post or reply is better than nothing from any other person expert or otherwise... despite your badge or profession...

I've said how speaking your mind is good and having less fear is part of all things for the future...

Welcome to Shitposterville.

Anyway with praise over I dedicate some on my favourite avatars and profile pics quickly (usually the scribbled drawing of face or a monster or cartoon character is fun like a fairly child-like but most effective emulation of it (or is it?)... some pics are included for your visual and intellectual pleasures... (and I promise not to tell people how intelligent some of you are and how value together can really stick to the system whatever your avatar looks like and no matter how many profiles you have!).
More power to those that can reply.

You can even make frens and chat to some which beats the current dry state of meeting people elsewhere regularly (though this might have been a once off to be fair)

https://shitposter.club/objects/ea03042b-b299-4c00-847c-faeed53c37fd

Can expect all shitposters to be consistent or maybe consistently inconsistent?!? ...

P.S
For equality reasons all shitposters are included here; even the less-than-humble types or non-humble shitposters included, simple or clever avatar - no shit is left unstepped in here in this posts invitation to have a look at what I stepped in along my travels and thank everyone for something frankly a bit more vibrant and creative :)

#shitposters #shitpost #shitposter I'm #honoured

A call to DIY hackerlabs, hackerspaces, fablabs, community spaces, open projects out there...

...you can today integrate open value networks and deliver the value you create to those that need it...

otherwise corporations will fill in the gap between you and the market and will monetise the value you create.

"these barriers to value creation was created in an old world... but the new digital technology changes the economic landscape and makes these barriers obsolete."

#Mind #Fuck time ladies and gentlemen... a big question of #Ethics here (or something you can name)

If there is a sub-species of human or cancerous type of people (hunters let's say hunting others) and you were sure of it / could measure it (maybe even if they themselves admit it and can't stop themselves) then what would you do...? or what could you do...? read on a bit more for more context...

So as humans we stand for who we are.
If others are against us to such a level... that we are simply not who we are / unable / disabled (systematically or otherwise, perhaps stripped is another words or personally filtered out)

For example in how we see / feel (ask yourself if)
- individuality is near gone /
- humanity is literally not considered in it's enforcement and then it's manipulation in enforcement
- yadayadayada

if that's true time and time again then wouldn't you want those enslaving us gone?
Isn't it the same as before with masters...?
Isn't always just here we accept or have to fight?
And if not fight constantly let them get ground until there is none left and then feel compelled to fight?

I guess this video triggered how obvious the dichotomy is... and either which way we go seems same if personally / systematically mini-fighting like a good game doesn't keep system straight using all people (yes it can be done, no if you expect it easy and no effort from yourself).

If with the snake at the end of video wouldn't you want to kill that thing (ok personally I'd try to capture the snake and put it in better area to keep diversity of these wonderous (and murderous) creatures through no fault of it's own and find the right ecosystem but with people I think it's not possible and we are the one's being hunted even passively using money / rent / private property / laws we have no idea of... all cornering and cut of life if not soul-destroying it outright Native American / Massai / Dutch, Polish, Spanish farmers etc https://leafposter.club/objects/65b7ca4e-24bd-4dde-acc8-b994b600963c )

But then again I wouldn't like to say kill them but at some point I might... similar to too many killer bee's... If we say humans are hunting humans and making nectar from people for themselves and keeping it (the rich, elite, etc)... then there's no good out-come (strangely we've been through many and seems there are just wiser in evolution each time and tech-ing up in all areas of life our work is providing them)... Surely not for peace (no way we would instantly relieve a lot of that IF the willpower was there by controllers who by definition will not want to give any less domination for control)

There is a limit always which they are pushing (not us) and we can't ignore that or wait for next protest always or job-connected forcing of their will vs. ours.

I think also bad people **know** good people are less likely to kill them (basic bully tactic if you know someone is from out of town or grown-up polite) where you can steal anything and they might even apologise.
They use that against us and we also against ourselves and go along with what ends up snowballing any bad (until infestation happens and people sellout the neighborhood) which is where we are now, business of extraction everywhere...

ok that's a mind fuck for me and watch video to kind of get the parallels... woo
