OFFICIAL INFO - My Italy Dream Story
========================================

My book - the spontaneously spoken story - of how I came to my magical Italian Arthouse - on a mostly-non-existent

budget, and surmounting myriad challenges internally and externally:

how it was to immerse myself in a random, semi-abandoned medieval quarter and the rural culture of south Italy - and the explosion of house-hunting that our TV show seeded... How everything blew up in drama and controversy... and then settled down beautifully, into La Vita Agrodolce and then Eventually, how it all healed into the thriving natural life I now Am Living...

The 17 Chapters of the story of moving and feelings of reality:

the glen

the prayer

la degustazione

the drive

the full immersion

the separation

the dark night of the soul

the corrected prayer

the house

the first year

the arthouse

the landscape

the tv show

the gold rush

the renovating

the corrected dream

the living dream

During freshwater global crisis, Google's water surge

"Google’s data centers worldwide consumed nearly 6 billion gallons (22.7 billion liters) of water in 2024. The company’s “2024 Environmental Report” showed an 8% annual increase in water consumption, driven by advancements in search functions, artificial intelligence (AI), and other projects. AI remains the primary factor behind the surge, with Google’s water consumption having jumped 20% in 2022."

Capitalism? Problems & Solutions.. My recent posts as list... 

How to overcome capitalism? etc

[My recent posts as summary]

➡️ Minimise and maximise (for the human way more often)

➡️ Not every needs to be a one.

➡️ Need to expect resistance during any system of transition different from it

➡️ Increment help and trust of other kinds (between ourselves to ourselves)

➡️ Be The ...OR ... Become A New of Working (Simply called a system of )

➡️ We can imagine the end of the world, but we can't imagine reducing ourselves.

➡️ The 'next level' is to actually invest time to talk with everyone

➡️ People are not investing in people (not putting in time)

➡️ People prefer talking to / working on / working with and not growing themselves and others

➡️ in the opposite axis or another spectrum of extreme is called and .

➡️ When it's less clear and this is where I'd favour a bit of trial and error.

➡️ EVERYONE IS - Change Your

➡️ ALL seem to miss the unique individual from the equation, showing 'system' is something done *to* people, not so much *with* them or asking them what they think

➡️ Staying as victim too is by just watching and talking about etc

➡️ Watching and commenting on the etc doesn't increase and between us

➡️ It's upto us instead of waiting for others or mass movements...

➡️ = A place where corporations and makes Internet shitter [my own term]

➡️ thrives because it prioritizes community and collaboration over technical perfection

➡️ Real work is the users and admin together AND non-google / non-aws stuff... maximising the people-to-people work (p2p communication daily) rather than only mass storage mcdonalds tech and memes...

➡️ Humans change humans by respecting and believing in the individuals more often... (we see a lot of hate pushed around)

➡️ for the way and linking things - exploring to see they are multi-dimensional

➡️ MINIMAL TECH + HAND-CRAFTED HUMAN CONTACT

========== QUESTIONS ============

➡️ Ways to help each other people from start nearer to the finish?... Suggestions?

➡️ How to help / share / grow each other with less modern Capitalism involved?

@timkmak Try add some hashtags / # in front of keywords like - would be great for this post and those researching or coincidentally curious to follow what else people post about it. :thumbsup_hmn_g1:

"Being the change" means doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity / Incrementing Trust) 

You become what you increasingly give energy to...

❓ - Are machines only what you develop? 🌀 💻 🌀

❓ - IS IT A GOOD OR BAD SPIRAL? HUMAN OR MACHINE SPIRAL? 🌀 📉 🌀

❓ - CAN YOU CO-CREATE / COOPERATE BETTER TOGETHER ? :boost: 🎆 :boost:

☑️ Be more yourself AND with other people develop THEM / EACH OTHER with what you do already!...

🎩 Politics & Profit 💲 is surly robbing us- but WE are also not really doing much more than repeating it (cooperating and complaining)...

People on the hashtags, can become them if not careful... in some lesser way by "following" their bad work

The spiral 🌀 storm they are in, is a bad spiral / it's not promoting co-operation

You are not creating almost at all !

You are not on as your daily driver right?

"Hashtag followers" can fall into the trap of perpetuating the bad 🔁 news and advertising the bad people, just reacting.

Not creating.

ALL publicity is good publicity for bad people...
Are you the repeater tool used to grow THAT?,,, and not grow THIS trusting stuff?

Trust is what needed to defend from bad people in future (don't wait for them to stand on your head or become nicer people suddenly).

So build each other up ⬆️
or die ⚱️ ⚱️!

"Being the change" means actually doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity? Increment Trust?)

If you like and dislike everything else that attempts something similar ( / included)

then I question what the point of life is with that sort of devil and not trying to think about lesser ones.

While accepting we're inside this or that container - all are burning the planet, "naturally" or more excessively depending on your priority ladder...

@run_atalanta @nullagent
Not many care when it's so easy and fast. You literally have to do the maths and morality with it for seemingly small stuff - which across many users is huge consumption....

But as always it's not what the bad do, it's what the good don't do (consume carefully and calculating of it)

Feelings of Fediverse / Humanity + State of Mind - My observations... 

@wolf4earth I second what @pupcuir said

I encourage both of you and us (including any readers) to actually work on it all meantime... as it isn't perfect, shouldn't be perfect and we should be the ones that patch or solve it (humanity not just patching machines).

Anything is possible is we continue, often people say it's not and stop - and that is 100% making it not possible by stopping. So we can slowly but surely work on human change... if really you are interested.

=============
As example here's a short or long audio file to listen to explaining some of how feel in some sense of problems / solutions / humanity today :
=============

1) 2mins (short version) mp3:

2) 10mins (long version) mp3:

bin.dembased.xyz/clareintroabo

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

So if you're game in finding mutuality / co-creation... then that is is actually part of the main problem. This open way alows flood gates to open for us to find a healthy hook in each others direction and previous work.

Until then it's all mostly talk or tech. virtue-signalling or money driving things (money being a negative source / devaluing value / debt-increasing).

Said with respect and years of trying with techies and actually anyone that leaves a comment (I also left Mastodon / Fedi and came back and has got a bit better...).

So as you see here on - people are mostly developing machines and NOT people or their users or even themselves.
And I think it's deliberate so I'm looking for anyone like Alex Wolf, anyone with pseudo-name I don't care - the work and will to keep trying different combinations assuming and seeing good-will more than the opposite is the most important thing. People stop progress by being scared of their own shadow and not treat people kindly and seeing-as-they-go ad-hoc relativity.

People can't even use a free pair of hands or or like-minded person. THAT IS TERRIBLE.
It's a "crime" or real bad show for freedoms,,, almost wanting to pay and inprisoned and devalued.

If there is someone mutual and willing we should give them a better 'job' even if it's not the main state regulated type of job.

It's almost like people don't want to do the people work to find out what they can do past their job title (obviously a state sanctioned thing which people are finding limits of) - and though I understand why and many sub-reasons, eventually they can't let those reckless people have life and destroy it intellectually but by default FROM their non-human participation and staying silent that is exactly what they do... (inaction / silence is also an action though we allow time also to think).

/ / deserve it fuck the world almost from how far irresponsibility / non-participation goes by people.
It's that bad and inert almost by what is no doubt a living human being.

How much people don't trust each other is like not coming out of a cage door that's always been open...

The DO buy their products and bullshit at the same time which is something else, spending so much time on those hashtags but not reallly in finding

They don't increment trust so I think it's up to us to show / demonstrate and implement it since people sometime need a 'system' first even though they don't realise that's a cold machine style of way often and de-personalising almost. But ok we make a system of and . Easy.

The lack humanity and investing time in people solves it all directly or indirectly.

Making something of people, even out of nothing, is possible as long as they like / love things and have a personality that can fit somewhere.

Let me know what you think of this text and audio mainly towards and way...

Anyone looking to hire an experienced Staff-level engineer with over 12 years of software engineering expertise and 7 years of #elixirlang experience in a variety of architectural styles? (Me)

I have extensive experience leading teams. Workshop facilitation know-how. Hands-on experience in shaping team structures, crafting effective sociotech dynamics, optimizing delivery processes, and using a multitude of techniques to understand and break down complex problem domains into simple solutions.

I don't see myself as just an engineer, I'm a problem solver in tech. One that understands that simple beats complex and that you cannot ignore the human component in tech.

I'm looking for a remote position. Something where I can empower one or many teams and help you accelerate, improve, and simplify the whole software delivery lifecycle. 30h week. Preferably Elixir but if the conditions are right I don't really care.

Giving Humans Work and Using Each Other rather than the Machines-as-people 

The Human Equation / Challenge as I see it is mainly about:

1 ➡️ Giving humans more work with their feelings / expression / own work

And against tyranny (if you agree we have resistance):

2 ➡️ Working together with our own stuff

Machines today are doing the work mostly and Humans less processing things...

=====================
MACHINES-AS-PEOPLE
=====================
The politics behind machines are that the machines-are-as-people - think about Bill Gates a Windows machine in your home made with increasingly more power and political in mind as selfish bias like tracking and mining you)

=====================
WHY HUMANS AND LESS MACHINES?
=====================
Humans can fight it out verbally with a bit of a chance whereas machines just follow-only as an object / code and too fast for humans which ultimately life is for (and us serving planet too):

=====================
Another way to say the equation:
=====================
🐵 [Human's work & energy
➡️ with feelings / negotiation ability
VS.
🤖 [Machine's work & energy]
⛔ no feelings / no negotiation ability

Masks in a hospital 

@broadwaybabyto I started writing that if really is going to spread anyway and unavoidable then seems futile - but I see how wrong that logic is and makes thing worse actually...

I'm still not sure how much masks do but for sure plenty.

I guess it's a comfort thing mostly for staff driven into the ground (and also throwing themselves in work for 8/12+ hours while traditionally maybe just in surgery only masked up (?)

Have to admit not reading anything linked here and speaking aloud to try see what I think first (and also if you reply then it's worth more of my time).

I know of previous partners / medical staff were saying stories all teh time how one doctor infects another with colds etc...
and the general stories of talking behind each other's back / factions...

Overall I agree like you said:

"if you think your personal politics or comfort are more important than our literal lives - you do not belong in ."

Have to admit it jammed my logic thinking coming across this and might show improvement I need to do between comfort (like not wearing gloves for chopping wood) and also about not knowing how contagious things are (hard to or see evidently).

So sort of confessing here and in the end really agree with you and would like more so really for specific things (if not everything and certain wards / places which do not needed near 100% then people don't need masks. But in a hospital lol that is low chance... !!

Goodness the brain jam like branch of wood stuck in machine.

@copter_chief As if the stock market is something admirable or something to keep up - it's just a mini-show-widget indicator of crap.

But yes Trump and stuff on top of that " Market " and making money a commodity itself like a human eating itself.

I think #Trump has a great name... shows what we need to trump him / them / ALL those types 

His name reminds us all that the Fediverse and beyond -ALL- literally have to Trump him to get him off the podium.

Which means communicating between us (not just working with computers).

Nobody wants to deal with that.

TRUMP is a G.O.A.T (means "Greatest Of All Time") in some ways like the animal spelling of the acronym, which is relevant according to the will-power needed to topple those at any top level. I don't think he's the best, but he shows up/

The community have to truly be about community (err... yeah making remember?) which seems what people are TOTALLY MISSING here and we should be almost inundated with questions and active enough to do that 1 person a day or 1 message to give back to the world.

And not given that = no community. .
WINS. WITH AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN DO COMMUNICATION...

Trump and deserve to dance, because we're too scared of each other here!

No really! 👻 👤 👥

You're scared of others and don't want to invest the "time" in listening / working together...

Back to the hashtag you go dear virtue-signaller / feel-good stone thrower...

We didn't really have democrasy - Patriarchy, Power, Authority, Greed, Selfishness, etc were all part of daily life before... just now more together as a "Trump" or "Musk"... 

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @Tarnport A lot of didn't know what democracy is - we just went with it.

And this we will also go along with, out of politeness when it comes to actually talking about between us and challenging it / ourselves.

, , , , , Passive- Mini-Tyranny etc were all part of daily life before... just now more together as "Trump" / "Musk" etc.

Those types bring together in a kind of beautiful-simple way which calls-out people with actions that say: "How much do you want life and are you going to talk to your family and neighbour about it?" ❓

"NAAAAAA. I THOUGHT SO!"
Imagine Trump collecting all the chips from the table.

Trump wins. Congrats.
