ADD #Wishlist HERE - A PROJECT - ADD A WISH and someone can take a look at it!... 

project begins...

Just add hashtag to post!

Add a to any post or just reply here and someone can take a look at it!

Optionally pin the post to your profile with hashtag to keep it updated.

Say what you need / want to achieve or objective if not sure.

THAT'S IT! NOW WRITE 1 WISH!

SEE WHAT YOU GET BACK FROM THE MIGHTY :fediverse: FEDIVERSE :fediverse: MASSES!

This is a non-commercial personal project to help people do this here. Questions welcome.

Working together, Matching Wants / Wishlists, Payments and 'occasioal' Exchanges... 

@barefootstache Sure from their view, and from another view those that are more intentional perhaps "For the Fediverse" (in very short) and other reasons (not the only one, we still genuinely give and take what we can and exchange meanwhile in other ways too). But practising / experimenting / a bit of self-development could go a long way else not losing much... We have a good wishlist to show each other at the end and perhaps pin it to our profile :)

Something else also is there for me like the "Doing if for ourselves" | DIY ways |"For the love it" | "On the Fediverse, For the Fediverse" means many reasons can be included as people prefer things here (interface, social, anti-cap) and I guess these are what might curve or re-direct people's existing wants and why... to make it the reason also! (it's not exclusive)

Even if it's a basic list to start off with just for me and only those that actually want to chat will write it, I think it's still very interesting :) even in the lowest responses... say just you and one by one for now... (do you mind a quick wish or project list? thanks!)

But to include Fediverse also is "in order to populate / propagate work here instead of 'there'..." and that could be a sort of principle written up for this idea so that it's as a 'Manifesto' or alignment of all our efforts or even something fun.

Much like a new way or new path or new software, it might serve people almost the same in the end while providing another eco-system here all the while... (a bit of ping pong and interest will soon prove itself and well there is actually time to let it simmer or slow-cook / seed etc)

If a few people get what they want done (even without caring much) they might use things as they are already here (like for @freemo ALL the jobs he needed 11+ maybe but I remember it was just hashtags that did it!!) What a win for and hashtag and I helped to overload hashtags to get that (he didn't have which is more respected now maybe for high quality jobs)

So just to stick a wish list on their pinned list for their practise and test to see what happens... might not be too bad!

Doesn't seem to cost much and even I could throw some money to it to help incentivise or get idea clear somewhere even on another external page (lol) but somewhere clean and clear and then back to here... maybe just images of the steps I'll work on as as wishlist icon and pinned post...

Summary... (that for reading and considering problems or what sounds best to you)

A kind of "doing it for ourselves" is really what's needed so this is part of that without trying to break ourselves over it or break the bridges of reality without something too new - just us more conscious or testing perhaps...
Even Gartner-effect it while being totally honest it's just starting or if I pay the way for people's wishes to be done in order to start things off and then "pay it forward"... then so be it, I'm seriously happy to throw money at Fediverse now and also before my own educational test and attempts here are complete...

@bibliolater @freemo It's usual with many things on from time to time, so don't mean to start waves about that.

How to argue / Debate ... ❤ this topic ... 

The joy from just 13.5mb video about debating (audio version is even less)...

Debate world champion explains how to argue...

invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=2pVdS <=== change to to true for audio only 🎧

So, can we develop better models of disagreement to help us become better debaters OR just copy from each other in practising more often? 🍵 🎾 🏓

===========
TEXT SUMMARY (CAN SKIP TO VIDEO)
===========

Debate is crucial to a healthy society. After all, having productive debates is how people have learned, resolved conflicts, and generated new solutions for thousands of years.

In Ancient Greece, it was even considered a kind of civic duty to be able to persuasively argue your point about the various issues of the day.

A major part of the problem is that we have outsourced our debates to avatars we see in media: politicians, pundits, and celebrities.

So, can we develop better models of disagreement to help us become better debaters?

@bibliolater developments are:

1/ Basically ME POSTING like I'm part of a movement, training as part of incremental change +

And then "Others..." just posting news mainly, nothing long in reply or much about building together.

2/ Hate to say it. But de facto I am QOTO at the moment or the acronym... (from lack of 2 way cause and communication together in life)...

3/ A tongue-in-cheek aside I question others a hell of a lot more than anyone [or more visibly].

qoto.org/@freeschool/with_repl

And so I'm here - even for the small questions. As our captain is silent for 3 weeks or so... You have me now >:]

It's hard to say / measure but also saying to see who shows up
(nobody for 3 days to your comment so I'm "first" and last maybe here and on brighter sides at least you can check some active posts that have been on fire here like dumpster at a protest ).

Enjoy QOTO 👻 :witchestown:

"Weapons of Math Destruction" #book #Math #Banks #Cheating ? 

Indeed! A good title for a book...

My Note:
========
I've long since said the "science" of selling debt is working again man, but often that's what science is for (whether you like it or not - but can make the change by not using so often shops that sell money for debt! are a root cause of negativity! 🏦 Literally!... )

KILL AI (polite self-advert) + This book + Fediverse people think money is OK... 

@nicolaromano My recent posts KILL at the moment (politely) from all the hype and basically same capitalistic displacement 'as usual':

From using sweatshop labour to humans doing the live data on our cameras - which all shows the false promises of "AI" and the Gartner effect (fake it until you make it in Tech)...

Have a look at my profile for "anti-AI" porn and some relative pics (non-AI pics). Something meaningful at least in my life until we give each other what to do on Fediverse more than bash AI too ! :D

THIS BOOK:
I really like the cover AND as the root evil (Negative Math, much like Debt is sold as Money itself to be negative.

No wonder we're in trouble! 🏦 🎰 🤖

Some on Fediverse people don't see money as a minus amount and no issue with it at all "It's just material we can share" <--- no it's devaluing or manipulated!

It's selling people debt! Negative numbers faster than actual amount!
💰 📉 .... ❤️ :fediverse: 📈 ?

I've recently picked up this great by Cathy O'Neil, "Weapons of Math Destruction"

books.google.co.uk/books?id=60

An "old" book (2016) but still extremely if not more relevant than ever.

My posts are on fire at the moment! 🔥

@whynothugo Big frickin' #fail and delete Signal for me. Only Session over here.

@jannuary Lately, @signal keeps asking me for permission to see the entirety of my my address book. Options are only “remind me later” and “yes”. There’s no “no”, because these are not the kind of folk who understand that people might say no to them for some reason.

@hkrn

TOTAL B.S.

Microsoft's Datacenter's are some of the biggest offenders in the Climate, both by Non-Green Energy and Water Consumption.

@hvdsomp @eloquence

We've been on Mastodon since 2017 (see our profile: w3c.social/@w3c).

We are just no longer are on both X/Twitter and Mastodon

6years for wc3 to come back to ActivityPub when it wasn't popular or clear from start isn't too bad... 

@carsten @eloquence @w3c

LONGER VERSION ABOUT PEOPLE CHANGING TO NEW THINGS TAKING TIME...

TLDR; 6years for wc3 to come back to ActivityPub when it wasn't popular or clear from start isn't too bad...

Have to admit, starting a new protocol standard rather than using "same the old thing" (by w3c or whoever) takes time and courage even to think about jumping, and as mainstream forgiven not to switch (imagine if someone said "jump to nostr" or something else) so also a push from Twitter people helps too (nothing like a bad family kicking you out rather than staying imperfectly or abused somewhat)

So *alignment* is happening again in various forms and I'm just reflecting it takes us personally 5 / 10 years to even reflect something sometimes like changing emails and way we do things ourselves - but together we can help each other do it (I got a few people on Mastodon to try it at least)... and then people might make a move later but again forced or from morality is best...

ActivityPub came out 2018 then 5 years later to 2024 now is not that bad... I've personally been on and off so in fact 6 years (from birth) is quite fast (because it's not 6 years, the whole scene needed to warm up, discover etc)-

================================

MUSIC BANDS AND ARTISTS MISSED SIMILARLY

Reminds me of how time flies for some of our favourite music artist etc for 5 years and then we're like "remember I always liked that artist- but why don't I listen to them or follow them so much?"...

================================
LAST BIT

Anyway kudos to all!
Bit of a long story I know about I guess life is and that's how time flies. We even miss people or they miss us... so helps to check good things / hand-hold to help install etc / remind what need / and sometimes do it for them too like your grandma to get them started!...

@eloquence
If the fedi becomes the new w3c mailing list I will be so pleased

@eloquence @w3c

1994: W3C is founded.
2018: W3C publishes ActivityPub Standard
2023: W3C encourages people to use ActivityPub by moving from X to Mastodon 😃

@LiberalArtist @eloquence W3C also made Decentralized Identifiers (self-sovereign identity blockchain bullshit) a "web standard" that the European Union will likely force upon us with the EUDI-Wallet.

In Germany, @Lilith and I caused the #IDWallet to fail after some basic IT security research.

This technology will discriminate minorities, enforce borders on the internet and be used for mining PII.

It is the opposite of an open web.
