Linux vs Windows etc - User Interface...
@cameron_bosch @thatdnaguy The Linux community isn't the most dynamic when it onboarding or making it easier - but dual boosting via usb and other things have helped.
But the people are mostly in Tech / coding / fiddling land - not people orientate... WHICH IS WHAT YOU NEED to get people out of Windows and even improving Linux from demand of non-command-line users ⬅️ This is the line I think that needs to be redrawn constantly and while it's somewhat happening and safer that way (not from users perhaps!) and even some UI for packages exist - STILL I think you need User INTERFACE!! LOL ...
Ah the people playing linux playstation
might get that one day... I said to #Stallman - you want community you have to go get it and put people on it - no answer to those question but did answer my technical things! No wonder Tech people can feel alone!
and I *might* be wrong!
sudo install windowsinterface.pkg switch 1 switch 2 manually type this + try a dir somewhere on the system + find it in obscure-named directories
And you 100% need internet every 2mins for tutorials (if it exists!). <--- also getting better.
BUT Windows? ➡️ Download
+open self-excecutable
+ follow on screen instructions!
+ (pressing next mostly!)
Big difference!!
(again balance of easy = viruses
and hard = nobody uses)
Linux Playstation "for those who already" ™️ or else try alone!

Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she's hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.
@martenson And consider those people who think governments are ok, banks are ok... are fascist to a degree - not the worst but very much and end up supporting it. Probably you too (but this is not a personal attack - we accept being born and trapped somewhere in Capitalism but some more than other embrace it a lot more (maybe you too).
☑️ ⁉️ Authoritarian governments are ok !
☑️ ⁉️ Banks are ok... !
☑️ ⁉️ House prices going up are ok !
☑️ ⁉️ Inflation ok !
etc
People are totally fine with that or just have small complaints to the TV occasionally when it's X % more when we should NOT be selling the gift of planet at all and keep it based on taking care of people not profit (at all !)
Let's see if you reply or go back o silent capitalism :) (a bit of prodding but not with malice)
@martenson Do you have some idea what to do after learning, because that is one of the hardest part of caring about climate or anything... like "ok I learnt about this bad thing, so what now / what are people actually doing?". Just wanted to see your thoughts on that...
People are almost the same everywhere... Have more money than sense etc... even the anti-people... Civilisation build on crap and people can't let go of it to build themselves and others.. so they support Fascism / Capitalism instead...
@inthehands Have to be honest that is good advice, but also you find people are almost same-same everywhere... they just like short writing... and fascist (uncaring / money-based) but in a different department (fascists is an offending but really people don't care much to change).
So what I mean for those that cn read, is that people are ignoring a lot of life, so they aren't fascist in one way or totally (even though believing in Government hierachy and banks IS FASCISM) but they ignore people and then they love tech (kind of not Musk but all roads lead...),
People are not fascist but believe in money and don't see banks or numbers as bad, STEM thinks STEM is ok without seeing people, acknoledging there is such things as negative math spirals, and can't see Tech or anything as political (bad owners while using nicer-looking 'green' material). People are not using moral mind and still in material word.... list goes on. And it's true it ALL checkmates yourself but this IS THE WORK TO BE BASHING THROUGH. Especially if the #Left or #Liberal also turn out to be quite a lot believing in fascistic component.
And as a meta-perspective people can only deal with short text so already lost by this paragraph... better to stay short / fascist / old world ignorant people than to explain all this and agree on parts / build a better future... (from beginning to the end)
IT'S ALL ONE WAY MOSTLY as " social " even on Mastodon.
No software aims to put actual people doing the social (more just develop the software)- #Mastodon included)... Where are they pushing people to meet and build (for non-code?)
Sounds like I'm knocking things - I'm not - just social people don't exist.
Just show me ...
or let us two do it and grow some social here more than a few long thread mostly about Tech and frankly bourgeoisie converations...
it's futile, fleeting and crushing here like a needle in a haystack that my account shows (I had also accounts before this similar).
A lot of time people just get blocked by those they see as a hero or whatever just for writing a lot.
IT'S MOSTLY ALL ONE WAY - maybe I'm not into fooling people WHILE you can get nice comments and some social back. But it's in between the rest of like and crap news taking over instead of positive vehicles of constant chat and social people pushing that.
You be the change, I'm here.
Not many more.
#FreeSchool is for real.
@ricci Can you see this post? (please favourite as I'm not sure if anyone does)
@Amgine Take to their ombudsman / those that legally they have to be more respectful to.
Usually you complain once or twice then there is a ladder above to complain to (like Supreme court of sorts) as they companies will give the run around and many customers don't know the same complaint you can merely give intro to and send same copy to their legal ombudsman / investigators to do the work for you.
This makes companies financial hassle to answer so they can end up 'magically' awarding you / accepting your claim... like Magic ... called leverage!
Homekeeping notes - Music + Hard Work ?
@Amgine You can keep to a certain album and get the same hit or charge from it. I know many have things on repeat also to avoid even changing as things are so good and keep such a flow that the repeat is nothing compared to the track or message in the track, which transfers to your work / play.
It's definitely a boost to have accompaniment / higher mood charge with music in this way for lots of people to get 'into a zone' or just less silence / more audible stimulation while doing eye work and feeling good rocking out!
People of various types have radio on and this is just more of a pure version with 1 artist or same track on repeat.
@Amgine @avlcharlie @milan Yes heard about it but not used, in what way is useful (does it answer everything ? / What doesn't it answer ?)
thanks

#Security from bad people / companies isn't really great...
People probably need to care for EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS LIKE THIS...
@tinker @bsidesnova I'm studying this kind of thing at the moment... but
Everything has a spectrum of this right?
Doesn't it seem though like most everything people have lots of blind spots / don't care ?
quick example
- tech people that don't care much for growing people or plants,
- young not caring for old
- old not caring for young...
- people don't know how banks work to cheapen money every day
Seems like it's THIS IS cream of the crop and whole load of stuff you probably have.
What do you think?
Ask yourself if you don't care for something and see if it's not similar to this and then it's just seeing like "this is the same as that for you but in different area of life for them".
TLDR = People probably need to care for EVERYTHING ELSE FAILS LIKE THIS.
Not personal to you but lots of people don't care about A LOT so probability is high unfortantely... said with love #FreeSchool
✨ Update from Gaza Soup Kitchen ✨
October 7th, 2025 by Hani Almadhoun, Organizer
"Dear friends,
The past two months have been intense — conference season, media engagements, live on ABC Prime News (link below), and a conversation with The New Arab. Through it all, Gaza has been front and center. I want to give you a clear look at what your support is making possible — and the scale of what remains to be done.
Gaza City:
Roughly 200,000 people are trapped in Gaza City, facing an unknown future. Every day, our teams push into neighborhoods that are cut off, even attempting water deliveries in extreme conditions. We advise them, we worry, but they refuse to leave — this is their home, and they have nothing left elsewhere. For their safety and the community’s, we keep their identities and locations secret, yet still ensure aid reaches those who need it most.
Kitchens & Meals:
Across eight kitchens in the middle and south of Gaza, we are cooking eggplants, potatoes, traditional dishes, and pasta, serving hundreds of families daily. One kitchen alone reaches 500 families, and our teams keep pushing for extra water deliveries wherever possible. Prices are cooling slightly in the south, but in Gaza City, food costs are skyrocketing, and supplies are vanishing. We don’t pause — we keep delivering.
Food Parcels & Care Packages:
Since our last update, we’ve delivered 25,000+ food parcels and care packages. Last month alone, your generosity put over $500,000 directly into Gaza to feed families, support hospitals, and sustain life under siege.
We operate two flexible initiative teams:
1. Hospital Care Team: Prioritizing children suffering from acute malnutrition at Al-Aqsa Hospital.
2. Makeshift Community Team: Led by my mom and Alaa (Chef Mahmoud’s widow), delivering 30–50 care packages at a time to displaced families in makeshift communities — sometimes food, sometimes hygiene kits, always based on urgent need.
Transparency & Accountability:
We’ve been experimenting with open registration for food parcels in Gaza City. When we offered a link for 75 families, 233 families signed up in under two minutes, leaving many temporarily without aid. We publish exactly what’s in each parcel and the prices we pay, so the community sees every action we take. Your donations fuel this transparency, safety, and reach.
Bottom line: Supplies are tight. Prices are climbing. Access is dangerous. But your support keeps food on tables, water in homes, and care packages in hands. You’re keeping hope alive in a place where hope is under constant attack. May this genocide come to an end soon.
Thank you for standing with Gaza — for standing with the people who have nothing left but each other."

@avlcharlie @Amgine Milan @milan Hi,
Is the "#Distributed, #decentralized, #socialmedia" #networking compatible with a kind of "Social FTP" ?
#SocialFTP = Direct access to each person's hard drive space for socially sharing, so it's direct like FTP (etc)
[Experimental post]
FUCK YOU #TRUMP HATERS dumping all your time here instead of spending time BUILDING ANYONE HALF-DECENT ONLINE.
(I.E It's not about Trump or my swearing - it's about focus and TIME on people - which is i.e. THE ANSWER !)
Did the test have positive effect despite sounding different on first look? It's to see if you get the point...

About #Napster -
Do you mean #fileshare the entire hard disk ... and that that came up other people's search?
#MikeMacgirvin
In a fudged-up way that's what I was looking for towards a better social / sharing to see what we are individually working on in 1 FTP / SSH.
That way one doesn't have to do anything but share a directory and can see a lifetime's work and life style without even a bio... by what they have and sharing...
📂 Let people browse in a more #native protocol !
#Opera had similar before so I wonder why not #P2P in broswer or as a social system (hence my term #SocialFTP as it's a good old native protocol (not layered and bloat on top - shit fast)...
Anyway see my post about mixing social and FTP / SSH as the aim for real movements to take off from individual works merging and using #ftp to see people's skill (i.e. real #Social)

"Free School" is a movement and modern hashtag continuing the 60's & 70's practice of educational living and learning life together towards #DIY & #Caring (at the same time).

#FreeSchool is my continuation of a living personal collection of FreeSchool gems like quotes that offer a one-line summary and longer forms of writing using "Show more" button (might hide things too much as it's a CW or Content Warning feature to shorten it).
#AltText used (when I remember) but I'm using a bot in 2025 which reminds me when I haven't added AltText.
If you want a great film documentary I like almost 100%, then below is a story towards humanity by showing Capitalism and Moore's personal experience of it's effect locally.

I think we can solve most of everything ourselves (we don't need to wait forever for leaders and rich people to change because they won't and they already decided!)... IF ONLY we start talking together THEN we can do it and snowball all good things on Fedi!
FreeSchool aims at a better #Art of #Life (of many sorts) in whatever way that suits and directs the individual towards even more community and freedoms.

I welcome audio chats. Simple chat can be done using any browser - 3 clicks and in - no install, no account, no google - instant! #Jitsi chat is better than #Matrix for it's speed of entry and ease (opensource, community has used for many years.) Just ask me for a link.
I'm someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know tricks of the trade.
The real work now is about better humans... so when you give them hammers they know how not to damage the place .... We have to accept mistakes and not be too scared of people either.
Enough of the material work, time to work on the mind AND care at the same time as doing ALL things more things...
