Being good isn't always as fantastically magnetic or sexy but is solid and moral in the long run.

"The longer way" or "taking the high road" is often worth your own reasons...

In modern times of 'free' and 'easy'... it's *easy* to do bad work, for *free*. -

#FreeSchool is the best answer I have to working on "Real Humans"... 

*****Somehow***** to help improve THEM! ... getting somewhere personally is important as we've lost almost all other space for talking,,,
Like a in real life, serious coffee, theatre or solid protest place...

If you want to enjoy things beyond the "Virtual Computing" and "Artificial Layers" presented to us by Governments - then we all better finding more time to working on "Real Humans" *****somehow***** and to help improve THEM!

vs.

What we had before was plenty since we were NOT interested in making it easier for humans anyway ^----- MASSIVE POINT

Free is weird / strange / unknown / unclear... so what is FreeSchool ? 

"Free" is always a bit weird / strange in a sentence because it's unknown / unclear what it means, in what way free...?

It's our task to ask more about it or present it.

"Attention Economy" for sure,.. But "Lack of Attention Depth" also... 

"Attention Economy" for sure,..

But "Lack of Attention" (depth) on Fediverse also!

"hey you I'm looking for more concrete constructive focus!!"
(That's from me)

The lack of depth on Fediverse could be waaay more on every level (perhaps the lower needs more than specialist) and seed things on every level like a fish frendzy (FRIENDZY) even from the most silliest or backward things *if* being genuine IT WILL GROW CONVERSATION AND THUS MORE...

AND THEN CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER LEVELS... YES level up indeed....

"Lack of Economy" in Attention means these users will either not use platform and stagnate AND also be gobbled up by mainstream Guardian, CBNC, BBC, CBB'S, BBCBCCBCBBCBS, BBSBSBSBBSSS, ETC !!!

(THOSE THAT WILL SUPPLY THEM FISH CAKES (OR FISH FOOD, WHATEVER)... AND WILL SERVE / USE THEM INSTEAD...

We have to make our own economy here (in all the meaning: financial / giving for the attention seeking / eventually contributing)

We need them / you to sharpen our principle's and focus here

Or else get taken the fuck over / ran the fuck over!

YOUR GUIDANCE REQUIRED IN CREATING THE FUTURE.... AS A KIND BETTER SCHOOL FOR KIDS (AND ADULTS)...

"You're disappointed in you!"... (sometimes) 

It's a play on the whole phrase "We are disappointed in you..."

Often used by parents or in conversation referencing society or social groups larger than one's self and people we've never met!

This phrase and image I thought went well as the "You're..." modification and perspective of the many faces as like each of your own internal other personality or critical character disappointed on every little thing and expecting too much.

One character might be picky about this, the other about that, etc)

:bomberman: And that's why you need me! [THE PUNCH LINE TO THE WHOLE POST AND BASIC EDIT OF THE PHRASE!!] 💣

💥 To help you realise the balance AND actually you're doing pretty good (Brodie you too!). and the expecting "too much" from imperfect is a kind of to be reduce! Mission impossible there for any ! We're imperfect - get used to it while doing / learning.

Perhaps I'm the over smiley friend that look like I'm selling something, but friend a nonetheless... let me introduce myself... I'm online as ! Have a nice day!

Money loses about X% per year... I'm having a look... 

We know "Inflation" is added from what Banks / Government say,,, but is it just Inflation at 2/3%?

Dollar loses about 2% a year
- Mike Adams Health Ranger
(will try find source, I could be wrong so this post is just to confirm we're losing...)

Pictures suggest dollar halves ever 20yrs but could be more not just as "Inflation" but added profit pricing to make "effective purchasing power" even more different as you try to purchase anything big... There are laws to keep bread etc mostly ok (to keep us alive just about) but not for real money makers:

like rent, housing, fuel, heating, gas etc which can sky rocket AT ANY TIME:

As we saw in 2023 winter prices with BritishGas "profits" amazingly high suddenly checkmating people, (this is a bit of speculation forgive me but probably not always relative-to-war prices and just pure profit happened many times in at least!)

*Lynn Conway* RIP 2024
...more info / story...
=======================

woman

Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.

2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.

Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.

Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.

Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.

Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️‍⚧️
Today and tomorrow we fight on ✊
See also: Talk on Wikipedia: Out-of-order execution
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Out

The name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.
