@SteveThompson And while that's true, people eat promises too easily also.
About emails / a side topic maybe...
I was just looking for another email address provider and not to get lied to about data (so not staying o gmail) and found this post... so I think it's worth moving emails or doing it via [... suggestions welcome...]
#yahoo #email wants me to agree to their T&C in order to attach a document from my phone to an email. This is unbelievable. Speechless. #ProtonMail
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
#Banks ...greed, power to create money exclusively (monopoly), usury pyramids, all going back to centre to then amplify back again using #debt #sold to people
Closing in on people with everything money connects to...
Examples of too much power:
🔴 Indirect #Slavery / Ownership of Debt
🔴 Possession of #Housing / Paperwork
🔴 #Economic-#attachment / #Food / #Material
🔴 Fiddling the #finances / cheating #public for private gains
🔴 Funding #wars / helping bullying smaller countries / get leverage using finance etc!
money = a #war on people
(it's not #innocent or without it's own #politics #developed of how to get power and treat people as just numbers and use them for more #numbers / #power.
I would continue to defend your right to speech. You dont see me threatening to block you at an instance or even a personal level do you?
You are supporting an enemy of the state if you are supporting Trump at this point. But even then you dont hear me trying to silence you.
Github is Microsoft - and you know so... why so surprised?
@Foxboron So we all know who has owned #Github all this time since #2018 so why so surprised?
Quick look at your profile and you seem clever enough but still using crap places?
So isn't there that over-arching point that eventually hanging out at crap places = crap in future?
(behind the scenes or in the UI) ?
#Microsoft since #2018 or didn't you know or pretended you didn't?
It's like you're asking for shit hanging around M$ Micro-$haft #MS #Copilot etc
Obi-Wan to Anikin: “I trusted you!”
@Foxboron the fire in the background is not a volcano but the wildfires caused by climate change after over-consumption of electricity to by AI companies in Silicon Valley.
@simon_brooke I've just flashed 3 devices with #eOS and like with Aurora on CalyxOS, apps from Google Play can be installed anonymously and I've not found any problem yet: banking, e2e messaging, fediverse and my news apps works just like on stock Android, thanks to microG I guess.
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea = GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....?
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
#Fediverse #Trust needs to be 'installed' / Trust spread better.
A way to #practise else you have #software but nobody practising.
Because #users online are not able to USE the social software - it's not just the software to develop but users to actually use it and find a way to trust more often (which opens doing things a lot more).
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
So just jumping in and giving trust to get trust or a small arena people can know it's managed / moderated a bit...
"Now it’s all about convincing people they need #crap they don’t need, less of it for more money and just making waste."

Humans never exercise "due diligence". We just rush to market, for profit, or to war. It's characteristic of our species, I think. 😐
"People are starting to think of stuff that has been worked on by AI to be "better" than a mere human could have done; "enhanced", as you say. This is, I think, a Very Bad Mistake."

Business - Making money from people with increasingly less service / utility
@lillyfinch It's more that I think new ways of business and methodology is increasingly 'clever' or cheating people towards repeat business or to sell more or do something less almost and get away with more dubious things...
...which was always the case with business (making money out of people) but as time goes on more clever in it's own field while people are not as clued up about how things are and work, what for and why it actually may not serve them and serve those that actually don't like already...
and I thought my picture was cool about words being added to #dictionary that once didn't exist but when people use get added...
AI Label... what would you want it to say?
@lillyfinch
IT ITself as #Enshitification
#Degrowth is a good term for helping cut this kind of IT (or all new things) because it's SEEING THAT ➡️ IT'S THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP who are DEVELOPING DOWNSIDES and #Enshitification as #IT ITself
Just another tool for modern #capitalism

Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:
"Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.
"In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.
"This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

But SearX search seems best in most things if not all - see https://searx.org/
Fighting words from @molly0xfff's opening talk at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025:
“We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms…It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.”
Thank you, developers and denizens of the open social web.🙏🏼

“We can build the web we want to see.” @molly0xfff kicked off XOXO 2024's conference with a hopeful talk about building Web3 Is Going Just Great, and how we can “push the web back towards the wonderful, joyful, beautiful place it used to be.” https://xoxofest.com/2024/videos/molly-white
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes from #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites all around #DIY Care# and #Caring as our main #Politics / #Politics

"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 = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#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.
