@simon_brooke I think most people are worried about paying the wrong people...
And then the payment method of course. Not sure why we alternatives have go it together to pay ourselves more easy... or a bit of exchange... guess we need middel-men....
@tschak Hehey!
By the way how much energy does the system or even whole setup ?
(do you know / can you work it out?)

@RadicalAnthro Alternatives to Zoom?
If you want an alternative that is instant (3-clicks) for people AND no software / nothing needed / ultra-fast... then USE #Jitsi / #JitsiMeet as #opensource #alternative - links below
➡️ https://meet.nadeko.net/UCL123 (any name)
➡️ https://jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/UCL123 (any name)
It's ultra-fast and has moderating etc, try these instances:
Keep Zoom mainly as emergency backup is my advice!
Have both but use / practise alternatives first.
Let me know what you think
Jitsi instances do screen share and almost everything with low resources - good for older folks / older systems too...

⬇️ Cory Doctorow #Quotes @pluralistic
💬 ⭐ "Give Trump an inch, he will take a mile."
💬 ⭐ "Capitulation has been a failure."
💬 ⭐ "If someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders and they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders"
Surrendering to #Trump and capitulation is a failure...
But Tariffs are also a way to try force people to sell out (their country - e.g. saying tariffs will be put on Brazilian coffee if they don't accept US anti-circumvention laws - so those countries (all of them) give in and take on #US pressure.

@time_for_kindness Now is the time for people to chat online... and with me!
So I'd like to offer you to an audio chat in the same way to see what happens... (because I think you're on to something with this #randomness / random #friendliness / #relativity)
And I think we can grow / practice kindness...
Peace from #FreeSchool
"I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from someone who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.
So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.
The box arrived! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.”

==============================
We are facing climate, economic and social crisis
Growing our economy is costing us our future
THERE IS ENOUGH
There is enough for all of us if we choose to live differently
TOGETHER, WE ARE ENOUGH!
Together we can find ways to move through times of crisis and beyond
NOBODY WILL GIVE US RIGHTS OR FREEDOM at this stage of history...
@ScottLucas
I think NOBODY WILL GIVE US RIGHTS OR FREEDOM at this stage of history...
As much as I would want... I don't think any " #GOVERNMENT " or " #STATE " job is to give #freedom or anything other than what is that hidden #agenda - it's SOFT ECONOMIC-AND-OTHER WAR ON PEOPLE... even #supermarkets etc
Long term extraction (alive) VIA ECONOMIC #WARFARE (#BANKS) rather than destroying people (dead / completely) as the poor is no good for profits which was more the PHYSICAL #WAR before...
#Modern GOV AND STATE = destroying people softly ➡️ through money they exchange in their hands not knowing money (banks) are DESTROYING THEM / #FUNDING THE WARS).
It's like before but softer - NOBODY IN #POWER WANTS TO GIVE YOU REAL CHOICES... ❗ ❗ ❗
#Freedoms seems like something you have TO TAKE / DEFEND / ATTACK FOR YOURSELF AND NOT SELL OUT EITHER TO OTHERS...
IT'S FOR YOU AND OTHERS MORE INDIVIDUALLY TO HOLD FREEDOM RATHER THAN expecting #BIGBROTHER / STATE / #Banks to looking after freedoms for you!
Sometimes we look for what doesn't exist and ask the WRONG people ❗ ❗ ❗
We / most are looking for a magic way which is is sold to us and almost never wasn't created yet to actually get to real 'freedom' and let people go much more!
All #states want to capture and screw us!
Thoughts?
#IRAN #GOIRAN #GOGOGO #PROTEST #Banks = #Corrupt #root #USPol etc
Money is the main war on people,
#Money helps create more wars...
☑️ do not use money (as much as possible) ☑️

@opentermsarchive @saumyaa Good to say and I've boosted....
The lastest release of Privacy Guides is now live!
One of the biggest changes are the following:
* We added SecureBlue, a hardened linux distribution based on Fedora Silverblue.
* The removal of Canary mail, as we do not like their latest shift towards AI inclusion into their application.
* And last but least, we now recommend social networks with our first recommendation being #Mastodon !
Thank you to all contributers!

Thousands of Orthodox Jews lined up in London to oppose Zionism while chanting “Israeli Government Shame On You!”
Our voice is silenced that’s why you don’t hear from us, but NOT because it’s not there.
Torah Observant Jews understand the dangers of Israel’s false claims of representing Jews & are pushing back strongly!

Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
Communication pioneer (only as most people don't do it at any depth)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"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 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#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.
