Dumping stuff... Take the useful parts like cable / plug etc...
@huxley So I considered the list of what I could do possibly and then looked at my own situation which doesn't always fit interacting with others about it...
So yes it's blowing crap out the back and maybe restorable to half-good (not much more) but near-nobody would accept or repair this... even if it became new at the end.
Even die hards other than hackers and artists for fun and then realising it occupies space / is crap. I use a broom for example.
So I accept the life it had / state it's in and really deserves to die / not take more space.
It will go to die somewhere unless really some components are like gold inside and worthy of effort.
The place I dump it might have more interested parties. That's being optimistic I know!
Mastodon vs. Google: YouTube links are killing / eating alive Mastodon and it's purpose...
Google / YouTube links (without filter) on platforms like
Mastodon kill it.
Kill is a strong word but if you see war outside and authoritarian states / government, then yes slowly or directly it's a death mindset to kill people off which I consider if it's long-term suffering and deliberate neglect, oppression by leaders.
Don't forget all Governments and it's companies registered to it use OUR EARNED money and OUR CLICKS for the pot of war eventually,so advertising is part of that.
Billion of users and links from us to them. 💰 = 💀
ANSWERS EXIST!
You can use INVIDIOUS LINKS INSTEAD @Invidious to filter exactly the same pages as a massive prevention of adverts!!!
TRY IT NOW!
https://redirect.invidious.io/
Platforms need to actively filter links AND at push to educate its users and train them not to leak data and usage from platform...
(Invidious filters YouTube for example and many Browser extensions could be listed).
One main reason why Mastodon exists is not to leak things.
Developers and users using google and it's links are leaking and letting Google in to their platform... even simply using YouTube links etc to track them.
(again you can use Invidious filter https://redirect.invidious.io/)
Extracting from our bodies towards bigger profits and pocketing it all is war - don't overlook this while people are starving or can't pay heating bills because they have monopoly.
You could also say it's not killing BUT SIPHONING OUR DATA / EATING US ALIVE, 'maximising profits'.
Google / YouTube links (without filter) on Platforms are killing it.
(I might need to phrase this better but take advice... and say it with love and not just blind emotions).
Leaking data / info from users OR developer accounts themselves on
= ☠️ of platform and it's people
)
I mention in Gargron here but respect if he doesn't want / can let me know. ℹ️ I just don't use github or much else and what better than Mastodon for #Mastodon #suggestion... to tuning the logic, philosophy, life using it's users to change culture!

Measuring Things: The Real Worth = Preserving / Taking care of Life itself and The World's Basic Elements...
"Measuring" things has of course been a money thing or just a perspective of those that 'value' it (by price usually)...
Money can be good to make a person think more about spending it... but without the logic under than people are likely to fall into 'consumer' roles so that the opposite also happens when petrol becomes cheap, people will feel ok using tons of it.
The question where does Petrol comes from and it's effects are the underlying important analysis / calculation of it's effects.
So what's missing here?
It's the Education from TOP down, not just bottom up.
Because:
Top people want power.
Bottom people want to live (and then maybe power also after that!)
Making things hard to measure I think makes people feel easier about using it (Petrol, Diesel, Oil, #War who knows it's real cost other than FUCKING THE WORLD) but while I don't believe in opposite extreme either of (measuring everything too much or chaining people to it like water etc which they could themselves or be provided for as living beings). I think having education mitigates more of these errors.
But what am I talking about?! It's money first... not saving water 🌊 oil 🛢️ or animals 🐄 or humans 🙍 .
[Sorry I realise my mistake, assuming some intelligence perhaps, next post...]

Real Life in War - Memorable Art...

Very memorable art for me. Rest in peace one and all. While we're alive let's work together? (get in contact)
See #FreeSchool - just make friends with everyone without need for others to use a gun on our behalf and try heal the world that way slowly / eventually instead of leaving it to extreme NON-PLAYER PEOPLE)...

Imagine everything is a type of war within another war.
Imagine everything is a type of war within another war.
Whatever war / conflict you look at (from your workplace, money / finance / economy etc) it's inside what is usually Government war on it's people (the currency itself) or from other countries externally.
It's a Matryoshka doll of #war from top down and all around.

System of Love... is measurable practice of these things related to love and care between people... (picture & text)
@MountainJay @adam Hello to you both - I'll be re-drafting my "System of Love" post I'm posting about now - I encourage you to save picture somewhere safe AND MAKE A COPY WITH KIDS (so it's not just a static pic but re-created by kids and adults).
People usually focus on more war-related news and topics instead of focus on the more the strong pillars of love (as system itself developed). So that's why kids and adults writing the words is really powerful. The other stuff is too confusing / too advanced.
If you have see anyone also write this "System of Love" let me know- I'd love to chat with them / you via audio chat or text.
Greets and love go out to you!
System of love and Peace! 🕊️
Last night I finally deleted my #LinkedIn account. It was last #BigTech owned service I used (and rarely even log in last two years).
So am I fully #corpfree now?
It was also ethical matter for me, I didn't want to deal with #Microsoft, so morally bankrupt corporation, in any way. Both for data stealing, #privacy violations and disrespect for users and for compliance with authoritarian governments and creating #surveillance technologies for oppression.
Yes, I wrote this in form as a reason, in more detailed way, until I used character limit.
Now I feel... More coherent? And it's good feeling.
When it suits people they do war (and business together)
When it suits people they do war (and business together)
All business can be seen as a degree of war or economy of war on the home or abroad people using currency of war; taxation and money etc and then shooting/bombing things/people when it suits them for various long-term benefits.
Why wouldn't they team up if they find a bigger fish / better way to do business?
It's JUST #business. (main priority and when it suits them)
Enemies are working together... sometimes better than friends working together...
Enemies are working together... sometimes better than friends working together.
Ukraine and Russian special forces for example doing special contracts together in Africa? Teaming up temporarily to secure resources? Probably everyone is at it.

🔱 ---> Trident meanings [skimmed from Wikipedia]...
🔱 <--- Trident meanings [skimmed from Wikipedia]...
🔱 = A three-pronged spear.
🔱 = Tool of Poseidon (Greek) or Neptune (Roman) used for the protection of the sea realms,
Latin word = fuscina, tridens or tridentis: tri meaning "three" and dentes meaning "teeth", referring specifically to the three prongs, or "teeth", of the weapon.
🔱 = Shiva's weapon (In Hinduism) and is known as a trishula (Sanskrit for "triple-spear").
====================
Hindu Religion
====================
In Hindu legends and stories Shiva, the Hindu god uses a trishula as his principal weapon.
The trident is also said to represent three gunas mentioned in Indian Vedic philosophy namely sāttvika, rājasika, and tāmasika.
In Samkhya philosophy, a guṇa is one of 3 "tendencies, qualities": sattva, rajas and tamas.
This category of qualities has been widely adopted by various schools of Hinduism for categorizing behavior and natural phenomena. The three qualities are:
1● Sattva is the quality of balance, harmony, goodness, purity, universalizing, holistic, constructive, creative, building, positive attitude, luminous, serenity, being-ness, peaceful, virtuous.[3][5][6]
2● Rajas is the quality of passion, activity, neither good nor bad and sometimes either, self-centeredness, egoistic, individualizing, driven, moving, dynamic.[7][8]
3● Tamas is the quality of imbalance, disorder, chaos, anxiety, impure, destructive, delusion, negative, dull or inactive, apathy, inertia or lethargy, violent, vicious, ignorant
The goddess Kali is sometimes portrayed with a trident as well.[22]
A weapon of South-East Asian (particularly Thai) depiction of Hanuman, a character of Ramayana.
----------------
Army context:
----------------
⚫ "Coat of arms" = 🔱 Trident for 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦 🔱 + medieval story behind it
⚫ Flag of Barbados incorporates a Trident.
⚫ Britannia is the national personification of Britain as a helmeted female warrior holding a trident and shield.
⚫ And for various Navy forces
Political and Military insignia.
----------------
In Taoism
----------------
It was held that "The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things."
It is generally agreed by Taoist scholars that Tao produced One means Wuji produced Taiji, and One produced Two means Taiji produced Yin and Yang [or Liangyi (兩儀) in scholastic term]. However, the subject of how Two produced Three has remained a popular debate among Taoist scholars. Most scholars believe that it refers to the Interaction between Yin and Yang, with the presence of Chi, or life force.
@gemlog Invidious seems not working across the board... @invidious ?
War was always part of present life and no different now other than this small window where we all thought it had gone away or stopped...
@bonifartius War has / was always present and no different now than any other time.
Other than a small window where it looked like or we thought it stopped... it hasn't gone away or stopped...
Literally war and in people's direct way and mindset I think is true to this, and measurably been more part of life (other than that this small window you and I have experienced or just watch everywhere else on TV) in which merely all has been distanced or displaced making war remote and based on whatever reason they like, with middle-men put in place to make it look like war is not really happening or not for us / not by us. As if economics, short-changing and robbing people disappeared...
So here it is again. #War
(It didn't go away after Second World War... merely became all other softer war and economic warfare on it's own people and others).
To allow us to live the way we do (or not live like others oppressed) we follow unknown systems of people who simply make war / are not looking for peace at all.
So what does anyone expect?
And do they actually want to devote some time every day to doing something about it 'home' or 'abroad'?
===================
OPTIONAL READING BELOW /
SIDE-TOPIC ALMOST
===================
I wrote something yesterday or day before actually finding myself giving credit to Russians (or any oppressor) from the inaction of... well everyone and winning de-facto almost. All the non-players and chickens (avoiding family or running from conversation in their workplace, to never challenging / pushing back) have all contributed to not building something else if not feed the status quo and pretend it's ok ! So that's why anyone else wins...
It's almost like nobody expects the same to come around again and see no point to work on it... So here it is!
The people's silence / avoidance / irresponsibility / lack of effort has reared it's ugly head and answered us, and in increasingly "more confused as ever" forms!
But still simple to sort out if everyone that comes up against something *actually* spends time to think about solving it (not 0 time thinking about it and wondering why war happens / continues / recreated).
@biomedmax 😃 Can you explain it?
('surely' more of it and some more context would help it seem clearer to what it's all about, at least for the author!)
I'll add you could have made a few more pictures too to get it text least in focus A BIT! But perhaps this wouldn't have help the clarity 👓 hehe! 👀
FreeSchool is about changing / opening people's mindset... 1 individual at a time...
It's about changing / opening your minds...
This post made so it's not in my bio and until I work out a better way
---------------------------
QUICK INTRO TO THE "LONG" BIO PROBLEM (which would be ideally towards finding mutuality by reader and ignoring what isn't needed instead of say "Oh God I'm not reading any of that purely because it looks long)
---------------------------
(BIO CONTINUES AFTER THIS SECTION)
Currently the problem is that I'm stuck about my audience being unable to read or give time to what needs time and slowly thinking about constantly in the brain or in another words:
1● People are unable / can't / don't want to read long parts of Humanism which ultimately underpins life
and
2● Only want life in short sentences which is dangerously always ignoring or misunderstanding people and life since again people, feelings, communication is not possible or healthy in SMS style messages (like if you were typing in an old phone,. Short Messages System is not enough for life and warming people / uniting people.
So I need some way in between as currently it's like 1 or 0 (or 1 or 2) thinking it's ok for everything in short... is misunderstanding humans not good and only good towards fascism from everything underneath being aesthetically "oh this looks-good and simple" style.
---------------------------
BACK TO BIO STUFF BELOW
---------------------------
FreeSchool helps Learn / Respect / Love things more...
I guess on 1 basic level I just want to make friends and think that is the way to solve thigns better. To heal / balance many things at the same time as everything else, eventually and all with more love if not more healthy and progressive wonder.
To possibly make friends with most of the world (I know all isn't really possible) but most of our interactions assuming and leading to friendship I think is good enough.
So my 'wall of text' here might be the first test to the longer version of myself. It reflects my dedication and human experience that confirms that depth should be OK even 1 step at a time (like a spiral staircase for others to read), so just start anywhere and learn to love what you can (and climb!).
If you think life / Fediverse is just 1 feel-good one-liner or short thing, and not climbing TOGETHER more often, then your cheating yourself and others in life.
This would be ok 'normally' BUT quicker than before it comes back to you if it's without caring in others.
If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
You don't have to read this all in one go for example, but you can read it... bit by bit.
If things in life mean anything to you talk with me.
If you saw something you liked in a post work from there and mention me in that post.
All is quite relative and can be a better domino... / // /// /// /
Quick look / Summary
- #FreeSchool hashtag
- FreeSchool media https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
If you understand a bit fo depth then we all have can learn to love life better (Freedom via learning / loving life in a school of people all doing the same in various amounts). Do try a bit or ask! Don't have to kill yourself here but helps a bit come out of your comfort zone.
Keeping each other in touch also helps keep each other's vibe alive and check back on our own stuff WITH each other.
Because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that ALL / A LOT is broken and even less human, even if it seems it's good without - that's short term... (like hospitals for profit that are the same evil formular for profit which is why there is OFTEN rebellion and strikes in these places (that should be more pure and less profit-squeezed). In one month the student, doctors, teach and police wereon strike in early 2023 (March I think).
But this more personal and customised.
Just follow me + put notifications on to TEST things.... not just blind faith... the rest below is just over-info
SO if you're searching for anything / love anything in the world (for the children / next generation or for this one) YOU HAVE FOUND IT (also in finding more of yourself).
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
What do I do?
I give people time and I think that's the basic difference (without list of other stuff deeper than that) to others who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Fan of Fediverse! (give time to others, am not mean, don't put down people unless really it's asked for, weave peopel with consent)
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!

About measurement / evidence... Most is self-evident I think frm people benig here in the first place...
@jupiter_rowland @jrp
It's currently not measured exactly how many are against Thread and in what way, but there are some outside... and how many people are for I think as it's safe mission' level of change, so Jupiter is right that anything that risk that would naturally make it high ranking for developers or users to consider important... ..since that is why they came here in the first place (also hard to measure other than the evidence they actually signed up to a deliberate and previously more obscure 'thing' which I count as evidence in itself somewhat).
Threads and Mastodon - Mastodon mistakes are more excusable since everything is within a less corporate orientation and different company purpose...
@jupiter_rowland
TLDR of this message = The CW title above:
Mastodon is more excused and more harmless if much less corporate
More depth below...
-------------------------------
●What is a corporate operation changes it's perspective
This perspective of hunting / extracting from people
-------------------------------
Any "company" or "professional" group determines how aggressive it is according to it's own purpose (normal companies are like a sub-company of government or profit-making outfit and therefore unhealthy).
Mastodon being a much-less-corporate entity makes it way less of any problem because it doesn't aim to take over forcefully (monopolise) and data collect or have vulture capitalism or share with it's 1000 partners and Syndicates ETC ETC
(do you remember in your email checking the box for "Google with it's Syndicates" or seeing in Terms and Conditions... ? )
Much more corporate entities re different in almost all the important ways... which kind of excuse it (even if it less excusable, everything is more harmless if much less corporate)
This post tries to mention 1st post in short 2nd post (which is basically the CW title)
Threads and Mastodon -
(TLDR of 1st message =
1 ● "we feed ourselves to Google YouTube by adding Mastodon links leading to them!..." (cruical different with Threads and Mastodon.
Google and YouTube Links inside Mastodon! are devaluing the platform / subverting it / destructive to value.)

"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 ➡ 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.
