Bigger downloads, bigger pipes, bigger files = massive burn to planet... ? 🌳 / :earth ?
@jonny @ricci "~10GB movies with v1 only."
Just torrenting anything 10gb+ seems crazy in itself / little bit sick.
Can imagine some emergency things or exceptions but seems just getting out of hand with all this #tech and everyone stepping up more and more storage (based on #US space btw - / #Amazon #S3 etc)
You wouldn't notice the #environmental #damage of speed (apart from initial digging of roads, upgrades etc) even if the speeds make it seem less damage it's still firing more bits, up and down stream - megs and Gb's now, often streaming repeatedly and for near nothing and over-quality. Temporary.
Bigger downloads, bigger pipes, bigger files = massive burn to planet... ? 🌳 / :earth ?
What do you think of that? ⬆️
@bodhipaksa Is the music you're thinking of "Hearts and Flower" ? (rather than" Hearts and Roses as you said)
1️⃣ This section seems to confirm that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_and_Flowers#cite_ref-4
(this topic was where a solo violin would play Tobani's song while someone wept or looked sad.)
2️⃣ Also which #MASH episode was it (was said "I remember that episode, Margaret was the 'violinist'.")
@bodhipaksa @davidnjoku For me, it's all about contact with more people and practice. Regularly without the dogma but in and around things...
It just seems to be natural for humans to have human contact (#tribalism included), while I hope people study in their own time also but it is tied to motivation if we talk to someone live about it.
So the more practice we get with humans and link things I think it's overall better. at least check them out and report back somewhat as feedback.
Steering clear of obvious things helps but seems like that's almost everything for some people in if good enough).
Basically people explaining it and not just having text or donation buttons, really helps be more personal.
Any article is a lot better explained sometimes (can be before or after reading) rather than the mediums that are less-human almost always being the way. These have obvious limits of reach and understand and most people don't want to spend the time or have enough.
With a person you can jump in and ask, hear tone etc... I feel that's a good #investment long term.
I guess I'm saying the time is now to talk 1 by 1 with everyone good... money / text ain't always enough or the right way.
DM me if you like...

#Buddhism Quote + #AltText for Pic ➡️ ...
" You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom. "

#SciOp & #CoLiberation (not just Techies but everyone)
"... it requires a design process in which many actors can participate - people with technical expertise, as well as those with lived expertise, domain expertise, organizing expertise, and #community #history expertise. It also means shifting the overarching goal of such #projects from “doing good with #data” to designing for co-#liberation. [...]
Rather than framing acts of #technical #service as benevolence or #charity, the goal of co-liberation requires that those technical workers acknowledge that they are engaged in a struggle for their own #liberation as well, even and especially when they are members of dominant groups."

@light Neutral in what way or how far? ❓
I guess everything coming from / made by humans are political things (personal perspective + "tech is political" + what they believe(d) in or didn't care about while making etc).
I can see a lot being more #neutral but I guess people in #equation makes it# hard to be that neutral (but maybe that's a #word you like to #explain / #define in this particular #context?

Social media is an "unhealthy online environment... [MP3 Version]
@openrightsgroup MP3 Version
#Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".
The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:
➡️ promote #ragebait to rake in the money. 💰
Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms
#OpenRightsGroup #SocialMedia #Health #BBC #JimKillock
#Decentralised #Platforms / #Decentralisation #Mastodon #Fediverse
#Audio about #Advertising
#BusinessModel of #SocialMedia is #Commercial
My #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -
NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!
We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...
(and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).
Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...
Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)
Such a lack of depth... 📉
Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!
Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
Audio conversations welcome, feel free to ask for chat link - just 3 clicks and in!.
I use simple chat for browsers using Jitsi (any device - no software install. A basic zoom-style clone, opensource. No google account etc. )

#FreeSchool hashtag for my collected gems and alignments.
Let's chat soon. We need to care about we do daily and others to also care else we are isolated. No other way around it but talk...
