" Some people wouldn't trust their "countries" to hold a glass of water for them and certainly would not let their "digital footprint" into a country that has an adversarial stance to its minorities. "

MY COMMENT
🤔 This is exactly the locked-in kinda of DILEMMA starting from at the beginning of joining or at the end in exiting (you or company)
Sub-points of DILEMMA
- Joining dilemma, because your friend is on there and you're not (but probably you want something more from that system also like more friends/sharing/new feature)
- Exiting dilemma,
The company gets take over / bought / closed [GitHub being sold for example or rebranded] and it puts people in jeopardy.
People are expecting more and more to move which is good but still I feel a bit of a surprise is in store... (like where is your data beign stored now do you know? And is Microsoft still a great badge?)
So not hating but while having 'your' material stored away on some servers with 99% uptime, it just takes that business side for it *to go at anytime- down*...
It's fragile basically... or maybe I'm beign alarmist....
Like IF GitHub was for sale...
right....
NOW...
and you didn't know...
... and just found out from a message like this...
... ... ... and they already agreed an offer from Meta / Facebook when you came back from work....
What next?
And where's your code / operations going to go tomorrow?! ! !
" I will still have to use GitHub as I haven't migrated all of my projects away yet, and because many other projects still use and require you to use GitHub for collaboration. I hope that this will improve in the future. "
" Endlessly reading or endlessly posting on social media is also another extreme which won't help... "
" Science is not separate from politics. Similarly technology is not also separate from politics.
And this is the compartmentalisation* that we do.
That is the problem. "
* = A mild state of dissociation
* = Act of distributing things into classes or categories of the same type
" I even stopped convincing privileged people after a time,
I usually go outside my class and try to convince under-privileged people. because there I have more chance of getting the point across."
"And I found in my limited experience, that this is probably true. But they are not in the position to change things, that is another problem. "
" Your right to take someone’s
photo and publish it NEVER
overrules their right to privacy! "
https://www.goingnowhere.org/files/SurvivalGuide_2022_EN.pdf
For example, when you are taught about greenhouse gases in school, they don't tell you why no action is happening.
The political part is missing.
The thing is science is not separate from politics.
Similarly. technology is also not separate from politics.
And this is the compartmentalisation we do in education. That is the problem.
" We have to be in the government ourselves to make that change... that is what I believe, because now the political situation is so bad "
It's an interesting line, not for everyone perhaps but perhaps just as needed in trying and letting them govern completely unchecked.
" People tend to think other dictatorships are bad, but their own dictatorship would be good. "

#FreeSchool
While typing hashtags on #Mastodon you can see how many posted recently (997 for exampel in Mastodon)
At least on desktop try typing:
#Mastodon (shows 997 post)
#tech 330 posts
Notice sometimes it will show it will not show you the posts for predictive text tags BUT if you do type it fully it will show you
like #technology shows 38 posts but typing #technolo doesn't show it until fully typing the word...

#FreeSchool is a living personal collection of my gems and people's one-liner summary of works (short CW titles) and longer forms with hashtags and AltText access for pictures (when I remember).
Life should be a story of Love, Care for humans (and then Tech etc as part of that loop, not love for Tech only and just improving machines and not human minds)
A love story towards humans -
Not Capitalism's Love story (below is a great film documentary)
Capitalism - A Love Story
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism_A_Love_Story
A lot to say but I believe mostly "we can solve most of it"... IF ONLY we start and that is by talking! / replying! Getting higher in our own personal understanding and more together is thought to be 'for the way'.
It's our human condition and position in life to suffer alone or together and we cannot be human and then expect not depend on others. That would be to deny our humanity.
Agree? But... Nobody wants to do the homework it seems, and this just feeds ignorance and business (buy and sell of people and things) while not working on understanding / bettering human communication ). Sso unless. you to people's posts or someone else's stuff it's going to get worse (in real life or online).
More extend here otherwise read after link for shorter version...

TRUMP? If people spent a % of time talking to normal people instead of Trump types of hashtags - then we would work on solving things rather than just hating / spinning their shit and then saynig "I don't have time / I'm too busy".
A chat room can be set up - 3 clicks - safe in browser, no install, no account, instant!
#Jitsi = opensource. Ask me for how.
Someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know business tricks. so it's about developing people into better humans of #habits and practices, not just developing Tech. We have everything we need to talk / solve things - you just need more humans in your workflow. The work is about better humans - so when you give them hammers they don't damage the place which what happens when you pay all these people and then complain about them on TV. No more #Hashtag #haters please - just a bit - and better yourself and others. Not your whole life incrementing THEIR STUFF🔁 . . . It's time for our stuff 🔁 whatever you like and love - just cooperate with more humans.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
Audio conversations welcome, feel free to ask for chat link - just 3 clicks and in!.
I use simple chat for browsers using Jitsi (any device - no software install. A basic zoom-style clone, opensource. No google account etc. )
Privacy and Non-corporate minded.
#FreeSchool hashtag for my collected gems and alignments.
Let's chat soon. We need to care about we do daily and others to also care else we are isolated. No other way around it but talk...
