TWITTER NEWS 2021 - CEO CHANGE
JACK DORSEY (meanwhile to PARAG AGRAWAL CTO (maybe to ELON MUSK in 202X?)
Jack Dorsey Leaving Twitter to Work Full Time on Bitcoin
And some good commentary about at least working towards freedom (not helping censorship)... like YouTube also
Shows tweets shown from
-Nic Carter and Glenn Greenwald (Edward Snowden leaks),
Mentions then-President Trump being booted off Twitter! Not the president surely!
Generally good comments from this episode, really if you don't like Bitcoin makes sense as it largely doesn't need you to like Bitcoin, just see the Banks etc as not making sense and Bad!

GAMES CHEATING!
...UNFAIR CPU AND ALGORITHMS
NO WONDER CAPITALISM COPIED WHAT LOOKS FAIR BUT ISN'T! CHECK THIS VIDEO FROM BACK IN 90'S STILL SEEN IN THE EMULATED VERSION TODAY!
Guile from SF2 needs about 2 seconds to charge down to do this FLASHKICK move (so walking back or while standing can't happen unless *maybe* in a combo or 'charging' the move in some other way- standing up or walking back cancels the charge.. at least for human players!!!!!! )
Hard to catch cheats, that's why you need to see the code... Anyone got the Street Fighter code?
UNFAIR CPU and ALGORITHMS
also link to fairness, censorship, privacy...

"TO WORK IS TO LOSE" (pictured)
MY STORY ABOUT JOBS AND WORKING
"To work is to lose" (text from picture)
When I young exactly 16 I think after high school I remember being in the kitchen and looking out to the garden and my dad said:
"From here either you have to work or go to college... you can't just not do one of those things like take an adventure"... to skill up etc...
This picture comes to mind to what I said in my head (and know college wasn't much better and what little I would do there also)
I took the easy way out to college only to delay working... and maybe even a few jobs at some time are good but the whole things is bad- right from banks to upwards to mini bosses everywhere like a bad computer game with too many bosses copy and pasted on the screen.
But this picture says it all for the wrath I had in my head for people suggesting to me the weak game of playing their game called 'work' - what a fucking joke.
To constantly lose by joining their 'team'. They have designed it well. I respect that - NOW FEEL MY WRATH........DAAAAAD!!!! 😡
(It's not easy for parents but it's not a good way out to not in not undoing some of this stuff as much as possible and from the beginning like taking one big adventure after high school and dying while resting on your sword of principle). ![]()

PODCAST COMPLIMENT !!
FREESCHOOL AUDIO 'TESTIMONIAL' :)
It's also a compliment on someone who can really catch good things or take best they can.
It takes two to tango and a random lovely person gives me ample audio feedback suddenly which was unexpected and what I wish for in everyone... as we are all pretty good in many ways but sometimes let websites or technological representation get in the way... there is enough on my website for people to take the best from and better not to try and understand it all in under 5sec!
Some notes:
- if you are happy it probably helps your outlook looking at a old/crap website or not (http://freeschool.0id.org/?s=audio)
- I think it helps to know what you like personally so even if the website is a mess just enter in the search box and make your life easier! (it's on the middle-right side, type some key topics if you know what you are into!)
- Browsing without heavy to understand it all or be so sensitive helps!!!

- Industry upgrading society into new models of complexity, reducing access, contradicting energy conservation through natural paradoxes from progress and man-made new usage or design
Example mentioned:
- Cars, can't get into the engine
(could mention not being able to open boxes for computing)
- PARADOX of keeping light on to save energy / damage less the lightbulb filament
Feedback welcome. It's just a clip of a 'good point' 9hopefully) from a audio conversation.

SEEDS / GARDENING QUESTION
- HOW TO PLANT 100'S OF SEEDS? (see pic!)
Saved a lot of seeds - 10's / 100+
Question is making these babies grow (even on hit and miss basis...)
Any help appreciated before I kinda DIY it outside (not much space inside really! I know the cold is needed to stratify / help germinate seed (cold helps start the process) but who know how deep etc
Pic shows:
-Plum seed (smaller)
-Apricot seeds (larger)

HOW METRICS / COUNTING NUMBERS / SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT FAIL HUMANS
(ALMOST HIDING DATA / PARTIALLY REVEALING)
YouTube views as an example here.
YouTube counts how many people viewed a video or is it just counting the video's visits to the page? It's maybe unclear so this is part of a problem / question
- did they actually watch any of the video?
- did they just open and close tab?
- was it most likely a fly-by / mistake?
These would all drastically discount the page visit or video watching number.
So to conclude the number is nice for a number count- but what it's counting (all the uses) IS NOT... showing for metrics to be worth you really need lots more metrics else it's misleading... (which opens up doors to manipulation / scams / misleading numbers)
__________________________
SUMMARY
So imagine metrics were clearer and showed
- the visits where someone open closed within 30secs
- video watched %'s (like did they watch only from middle to end and not start?
Arguably this is more of a page hit counter* and while it might not suggest it's a 'video watched' counter you can see there is responsibility ON BOTH SIDES to consider what the conditions and cases to increment pages are -
- and could mean far less YouTube numbers from people clicking this video instead of that.. or looking for a particular version of a video for "Gangsta's Paradise" or anything with many versions- you might click all fo them and +1 many pages without actually watching !
So unless there is further clever metrics (perhaps even clever metrics for socially important data) then it's misleading and doesn't show if people stuck around more than 10seconds /
how long user watched for and what we as users could check to answer "how many people watched 80% consistently?")
Instead we just have numbers which almost hide these metrics and this is the danger if it's money, politics or anything measured but doesn't measure the cases or conditions (and even doesn't want to by those funneling stats deliberately only in some semi-transparent ways like this youtube example where 100% FOR SURE every video has a BIG dropout count but still counts as 'viewed' or 'seen' or 'watched' when it's TOTALLY NOT)
__________________________
CONCLUSION
-Numbers are misleading and while it depends how serious you are it means metrics can be taken less seriously,
-Metrics often demands FULL ACCESS OR TRANSPARENCY or some infinite sub-measurements in order to be seen properly from different angles and filters (and which would probably defeat the whole reasoning why to measure). Even if YouTube was a bit clever and waiting to see if user was still watching after 30seconds then you get into "what constitutes watching properly a video, 50%, 80%, 100%?)
- For humans our brain sometimes does better to reason things ourselves so for YouTube video "who cares" if 20% of the video counter is NOT from proper views- but for life these numbers obviously count much more!
A combination is probably best but I feel it's way more manipulation by industry and bosses to look at numbers and not reality of sub cases and a kind of fascism to not care or only care for number / order / standards / progress etc.

WE ALL WORK FOR THE BANK...
TO PAY OFF LOANS?
FACT OR FICTION, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WE ARE PAYING BACK FOR THE %'S ?
Are we all working for the banks?
Taken me 10's of years to find that out and see the Bank as the bad / uncaring root of all life!
MY TAKE ON TOPIC:
Any company we work for has a loan and is just an in between for the same relationship (to pay back %).
Working to pay banks who charge for loans / mortgages etc means they are the root of life AND they are creating more debt every time there is more lending
(and the % or total gets bigger all the time it's unpaid).
Greed and Banks are a big problem. V£RY BIG.

Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
#Notes #Quotes from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites (gems from all around the world towards freedom)
#FreeSchool hashtag = more
Communication pioneer (only because people don't reakky do it at any deep depth)
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
