IMPROVE PEOPLE _NOT JUST TECH_ @freeschool@qoto.org

@stevefoerster @bookstodon I did haha !
So by your logic of needing my example - now go buy it!

Don't make it too personal - you either appreciate the author that much over the years or you don't or can say it's for 3 books or ave $1 a week and buy it next year - whatever works for you.

I also think people that could pay $30 easily almost always have easy money to pay more, it's just hard to part with it.

You judge yourself and consider I did already me. Now you do you and consider buying whenever / ask as a part-present from family whatever! Don't make me look for evidence why you can pay it and prove it to you. Acting on my own words should already be enough proof I mean what I said and you can find a way over time if nothing. But excuses will win probably so just let me know and quote my amazon code #IMALLTALK - Oh no I take it back you're a teacher, I concede.

Also the previous picture could have seemed harsh but was a very quick fun thing. Text more the priority but anyway forget about this book now. Harry Turtledove pah! 🌬️ And he's still alive... how dare he exist and be great, the drop out.

@hazlin First instincts

➡️ it sounds like you are like the others in reply - some points but finding problems more than of working on positives

That's the TL;DR - you might not need to read more if you agree with that... read it again

Below just explains it but I think I might stop explaining soon because

➡️ nothing like yea let's do it is there / "ok let's test it" / ok I'm not sure but...

so while allowing a warm up time here and now - just saying you're maybe the same as them - but a bit better in some other things like communication, some principles...

➡️ and at end almost made up some reason based on me talking a lot more and finding / tying it together... fun... eating cake... becoming an ideal... Nothing that springs to life positive.

That might be a case of being around uncreative people too long and not being able to test things.

And if you don't do practically, you die (Christianity inculded though yes no need panic about that) and so that's in our religon / practise, in y/our biology that acting is to grow not just save because if you don't grow a bit it stagnates and gets cancer / "our work" helps stop the killing by others in understanding or even physically etc... so you become the same in not doing and also allowing further dying (of brain cells or physically which is similar), although you are more well said, perhaps even too polite to save people (with their consent or however you feel ok about this) AND turning my words as answering fun to enjoy understanding and yes even some healing or just anything other than capitalism also.
It seems you went off there on a tangent.

Through our being I think we should allow ourselves with measurable safety (including each other and being transparent on the net) to do.

No ultimatum here but I strongly suggest you have enough theory side, and don't get stuck in it.

Further theorising again over this if it sounded good at the start has questions on your side that "even if it was agreeable would I even do it or just virtualise some previous reasons"

Unwanted Loneliness also from your actions (Ubuntu works in reverse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy)

Because many Christians might feel lonely from others who seem to sound like you also with "who are you to heal / to say / to do / empty your life / need others in this saving way" etc etc and our innate / embedded being and existence already covers the why for each other (or go back to Capitalism for "not needing anyone:") and ONLY we need getting better at doing rather than feeling something about people trying.

By your way it's "what's next?" - "what did they syuggest"... "nothing much"... oh ok then...

Getting better is part of the main idea (people do that themselves WITH others - paradoxically as that is - we are limited alone healing / understanding things).

Tell me you already know this or don't pretend !

Consider the people who are alone or who closed themselves are not just the result of their own principles not wanting friends but that it's usually with totally ignorant others (everywhere) as a lot of the population not being aligned and insisting not to learn - meaning you can't blame any loner and expect them to fake around ignorant others to get some attention from such extreme amplitude of ignorance in all parts of their life or yours)

Sounds like you're not for trying / seeing positives or found some other experiences or templates to put me in as if I haven't written quite a lot to say otherwise "I'm kind of ok!".

I think you could say to yourself "well actually this is mostly not the typical average volume or type of Christian or they are a different kind of person so let us try something here first without me judging too much more...".

Fun means too many things and you put that there not me ad twisted it. Do the good work or find endless excuses I think is about right - without sounding as ultimatum but a lot said so you also put yourself out of the game without testing and stuck in too much text.

All those phrases are nice, but just checking things you're not sure of as you go rather than stopping things totally at the begging is better. Good gosh embrace it all a bit more yes yes without being all you said!

If you're a loner and don't see the point or joy in others (cake as you falsely compare it too) then write than in your bio. Christians and general should stay active while keeping things in check THEY CAN'T NOT DO THINGS MOSTLY - THAT'S HOW WE GO HERE.

Forgive me if your doing plenty.

@stevefoerster @bookstodon Have to say something you might not like but you have the chance to show how much you love those books.

Because that comment sounds very paradoxical - consider you say you love the books (more than one) inferring perhaps by that the consistent quality of the authors other books you'd like to see continue, and have got happiness elsewhere from same author) and you say you will happily pay... but for 50 of your cheaper-by-the-day bucks means you question it in comparison to that all?
Surely it's worth much more to you and wouldn't be going to a bad place even if it turned out to be a flop for you...
So I call you out nicely here (reminds me of not paying for software I've actually been using for YEARS and still thinking it's too much to give them but this might be different)

I really think you're being cheap here in your love and happiness for so long (divide by years it you have to) and actually should pay right now if there is a chance author gets a % of that and barring reservations for paying on Amazon then just get it there or elsewhere ➡️ now!

I feel like I'm on a mission to get good people recognised and even some money for what they do / already invested themselves and probably didn't get paid fully in whole yet compared to the time / risk / others involved etc !

Said with love for authors / good / truthful / talented people! And respect for you...

I think the fact that people like this exist, and yet we have to choose between people like Trump and Biden demonstrates just how corrupt a system we live in. We don’t choose who is elected, we just choose between two pawns that ultimately have no interest in honesty whatsoever.

#Money #Question

What do you do when every decision is money-based or heavily decided on a monetary basis?

✅ Talking about it is good as if you're willing to solve it.

✅ Start enriching your life together with the right people

(can you find anyone on Fediverse?)...

When "money" is a tool for extraction, you must predict the same crap is happening and instead at least start on enriching your life together with the right people- RIGHT NOW!...

"Money" is a tool for extraction - like a Bank is a shop on the high street offering you to buy / pay for money (and then spend it thinking you have more)/

Extraction is what David Graeber should of had in his names of his #books ! 📖 He did have "Value" but "Devalue" of negative words in titles would have been better - "Money as Debt" is a good example by

Extraction from people and DEvalues everything from everyone according to how many loans are being taken out (the day you enter using money has even more loans taken and that is almost like fake money thus diluting existing money so you need to keep trying to get more while it devalues!).

#DavidGraeber #Money #Answer

Talking about it is good as if you're willing to solve it. DM's welcome.

ABOUT GRAEBER
Graeber married artist Nika Dubrovsky in 2019.[84] The two collaborated on a series of books, workshops, and conversations called Anthropology for Kids[85] and on the Museum of Care, a shared space for communication and social interactions nourishing values of solidarity, care, and reciprocity. According to Graeber's website, "The main goal of the Museum of Care is to produce and maintain social relationships."[86] The concept "museum of care" was coined by Graeber and Dubrovsky in their article "The Museum of Care: imagining the world after the pandemic", originally published in "Arts of the Working Class" in April 2020.[87] In the article, Graeber and Dubrovsky imagine a post-pandemic future, where vast surfaces of office spaces and conservative institutions are turned into "free city universities, social centers and hotels for those in need of shelter". "We could call them 'Museums of Care' – precisely because they are spaces that do not celebrate production of any sort but rather provide the space and means for the creation of social relationships and the imagining of entirely new forms of social relations.

DEATH FROM CO-VID ?
===============
"Graeber died suddenly from necrotic pancreatitis[89] on September 2, 2020, while on vacation with his wife and friends in Venice.[90] Graeber died during the COVID-19 pandemic and instead of a funeral, his family organized an "Intergalactic Memorial Carnival" of livestreamed events that took place in October 2020.[91] His wife, Nika, attributed the pancreatitis to COVID-19, pointing to his prior good health, strange symptoms they both had for months beforehand, and the connection scientists have found between COVID-19 and pancreatitis.

@L29Ah @cweickhmann @trinsec @freemo I might call it 'non-event" instead of upgrade event but that doesn't represent fairly what has been tried so far... which without bugging for basically has kinda get left unsaid... which I find a bit unprofessional as work regardless of "you didn't pay for it" comment or when people say but don't do (and then don't say that they can't do it and instead wait for another bugging message)... 🙌 but this is not to pester just saying free people that don't turn up are also annoying / costing in some way and better not mention "in a few days" AT ALL.

And I say non-event too as a fun way to manage expectations (again) and suggest freemo's estimates are often wrong on this upgrade happening thing (you have to chase if you value something) - btw freemo AGAIN you said you would enable search for own posts in a few days - CAN YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN KAPITAN or just tell me it's not possible! And don't complain as I'm not complaining any more than asking again!)

FOR THOSE NEW - THE BASIC STORY...

For those new, the upgrade was supposed to be by weekend earlier this year. the weekend, then after... and now 6months on now - though I haven't looked at exact date to waste that much of my time on it (and because you can't search your own posts here).

Right now biggest thing not working is listed below and what I've alerted whoever is maybe on this:

- no searching of own posts
- no upload of many file types or size limits (I was doing a podcast but anyway was a bit dead here)
- few misfires / error (of which retry solves it) or posts that freeze the TOOT button for about 30s and then after retry works!
- some other errors / timeouts

- maybe people forgetting about this all during their lunch breaks (lol) is also part of it :D

So limits of sorts but not so bad... the time itself is getting worse when trying I find a post or the many lists of super-tips I make and now can't find so easily- I find this out after forgetting and seeing the message "search is not enabled on this server".

I'll add to that what you said also:

- Not able to see some accounts natively in Mastodon (accounts that exist elsewhere). This could be other reason - probably not though, and you probably tried loading the static page instead like https://mastodon.social/@Mattahan/ instead of being logged in viewing it? If it loads as static external page then it's problem on our side)

Anyway I'll add the above to the quick list as I realise I had that too for a user and pondered why...

GENERAL WARNING ABOUT ADDING CONTENT ON #QOTO OR MOST MASTODON SERVERS: 📋
➡️ You can't export data into something human readable format on Mastodon - so it's no worries if your posts are all disposable.... but if like me it's curating, re-edited, preparing to write a book of sorts then it's not helpful at the end and not like Twitter (Twitter gives offline version of same interface you would see online of posts)

You might know it on Mastodon having moved but you get a JSON file and images - that's it almost as export backup with Mastodon 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 ). Expecting you to be a JSON master.

Even still I haven't met anyone able to make their online in to offline as viewable / navigatable format (with pictures to posts!)

So if you moved already you literally left your curation behind I guess and left a link of the soon-to-be-relic and separate search you'd need to do logged in there - unless the server dies and you can't even search that anymore!...

OK FREEMO - YET ANOTHER IDEA... V3.2.1 but fully functioning ? @freemo

I wouldn't even mind V3.2.1 fully functioning and nothing else. Is that possible?
Can't we go back to more fully version of 3.2.1 and you can consider it "done for now" until after Christmas to full upgrade as a gift to us (basically in your own time and those staff supposedly on it) much later ? 🌲 🌨️ 🎄 🏂 <--- yea I call it - this will be done around Christmas and I can even refer back to this message as snow is about 3months away from now!

@TheOldGuy
Some notes on what author said:

- Yes you're probably right they won't stand down.

- But it is kind of ironic the "they" could just as well be USA as much as it is Russia - I mean which one would you trust more?

it's almost NO DIFFERENCE or I'm saying that to find out what people can differential as positive between them because of the next point also:

- USA doesn't give a fuck about most places so the question is why would it care about Ukraine ? (from a massive shit-for-brains leadership to pebble in Europe - why even help?)

-And then continuing from that above... why would they *not* subject Ukraine to it's own shit-show subset of strategies and leveraging systems... like giving just enough to die out but just about win and then come in themselves in some way as expansion... I would not underestimate it - then it would be a rag-tag EU vs deadly USA,

In other words it's almost no help sometimes to allow the same shit-show artists to come "save the day" if they will fuck what is left that they say is saved or subject it to various pay-back schemes and conditions.

YES I'M ALL FOR FREEDOM BUT LOOK WHO USA IS BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT RUSSIA !

Yes look to Europe to complain - the 'hiring' of USA services or mercenaries or accepting 'gifts' is simply not a workable plan either frankly (I accept if EU doesn't care then it's the only option I'd consider taking a bullet for).

- So mostly (and I accept there is some weaving I've done here pointing to the same shit-show people) I think USA is just running both peoples into the ground and making it come to a crawling win or later will go all-in to really make sure both Ukraine and Russia have no legs to run away from their bargaining plans ...

USA is as good in as many things that Russia is - so it's like jumping from this fire into another fire. :f :nes_fire: 🏃‍♀️ 🔥

All comes down to money -
Some of what the author wrote I think sounded like people or USA doing the right thing... NO WAY- USA?
Sometimes those types want "the worse to happen, the worse the better as it's clearer" and for the taking.

=========
SUMMARY:
=========
One thing seems historically true, USA (and all super-powers) seem totally interchangeable as names and as not caring (like near-0 or worse using the situation for more #wars) - just land, territory, extraction of resources, total domination, 1-track mind etc...

While I'm not in the camp of Ukraine going down, I thnk the making, spending, detonating of things is also big waste of time, energy... etc

==================
SIDE NOTE / REAL UNITY ?
==================

Real unity or real understanding would be great as it's own thing to gain respect - respect of logic not just authority - something that stands sovereign itself as much as person has their own power (not shenanigans of grouping or politics covering everything meaning somehow we sort everything and everyone as money themselves.

The scamming is money itself as a #war system on people - somehow adopted by every state even though different - strange that like high streets installed and all looking the same - and knowing what it does to cultures ... Ukrane included.

The misuse of the massive cream from money "they" take.... means I prefer everyone living is being "paid for" already to be essentially for real decision -making with less man-made threats than the usual force (which would be much less without money backing everything while raping it).

What I mean is not owing life to anyone as new borns and expecting people will get busy doing more real work (I consider financial world arbitrary and virtual too back out of people's hands)/

The "Service" we get is like getting raped as cash cows anyway so just getting ride of this means less people being cheated and getting even water etc more for free to continue with much less ultimatums / rent etc and of shitty jobs wastefully paying for it all,.. really get people to make life better...

(not always killing to restart a 'peaceful' period of working against inflation, company crooks and bankers).

Ok enough on those points...
Slava .... somehow less than just war....

Money more than God?
What's you main economy / way of life / belief ?

💰( even for cheese 🧀 etc) overrides belief ✝️
For most religious people they give in too easily or stops searchng... (various reasons also laziness of religion or general laziness / exhaustion which is legitimate in various degrees).

The priority of #money means people settle for $elling body of Christ / God - lot of ✝️ time for 💰 ( = 🧀 etc ) while things get worse / value of money goes down or prices go up...

Not risking the better way (by #God) or generally heading towards less #evil things... is the actual problem - no matter how good or bad Capitalism, it's God and those practices at the end - not trapping us people more or less.

Consider now is better for making ways than 5 years from now without more priority on God.

What do you think?

https://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/Arcade/Zatacka-8698.shtml

for a potentially hilarious exciting party game! (think 5 snakes trying to avoid each other on 1 screen) but maybe need a decent keyboard that doesn't beep with all the keys pressed at once! ⌨️ !

ℹ️ So just a few more bits of info + links about below... ℹ️

Since it became a logged-in only game I left this game maybe 10 years ago but later I found this originally was made by:
