@sabbatical #Greenhouse pictures of what I mean growing a #Tomato #Jungle:

1st picture to see Tomato Height:
As high as a person + growing horizontally along inside of roof using light horizontal structure.

2nd picture to see light structure inside roof more clearly:
Using a few mini-metal brackets (like two L piece back to back with screw bolt) holding onto the metal frame inside, some wood tied to it / bamboo threaded to that - so Tomatoes can rest and grow through it (like a horizontal trellis) ...

2nd picture is shown without root/stem as it was already cut and end of season but shows the roof structure a bit more clearly.

(just shooting from the hip here what I think it is and can be changeable with your reasoning hopefully to hone it):

#SmallWeb is not having a really massive umbrella platform

#SmallWeb is not dealing with peopel or platform with near-0 mutual relationship. So a cold relationship for your webspace from big unmutual provider is more surely not SmallWeb...

#SmallWeb can be PeerTube (over YouTube) especially if the host is picked or inviting less commercialism and shares the same as me or similar vibes towards more of the same as the end goal.

SmallWeb as a movement isn't looking to take over or dominate others as a monopoly (commercial or even uncommercial). It just is itself and had it's own principles. If that should reign or be popular it's because users care and choose that, not ignorantly just open any old webspace.

SmallWeb is more picky and chosen from these types of measured principles or footprint (small is beautiful / conscious choices).

Happy to hear more and I think I saw a link for these things but wrote as it really sung out from inside my #SmallWeb global heart 🌐 ❤️ !

[ I will say, in the modern sense saying too much can be a problem and weakness (to those that are attacking) but in general if you accept your own position then from distance it can be less used against you or bluff's need calling first instead of scare tactics ]

@freemo The human problem you know is my thing as humans themselves need fixing / caring for / sorting out... and I don't think I've heard anything of that in there of that focus...

BONUS audio version might help as your read this, or download it anyway and let me know what you think as well as this text!

So to continue my judgement about what our business can be is naturally disappointed a bit from just hearing another data type thing in and out, who cares about people, and ok a bit of open source and ethics as company. But not as the main training or conversion (people themselves coming out better, using people and spiralling others into similar better ways and practices, using all other open-sources projects etc).

So asking me of the end goals I see on my side - it's love and friendship with the world - but the mid-goals are something more of the working with each other and on each others troubles... on the dreams even... more the deep diving stuff more than raw numbers and "business".

If what you said genuinely is without logic and emotional training of people or not trying to sort out people out humanly and demonstrating that better - then it means you're just dealing with the same things again, computers and data which are not really solving things or more going to solve it for the wrong people / those paying - so the misunderstanding of people / devaluation / competition and aggression frustration / together etc remains unchanged and as time goes on worse / decaying unless we actually grow people up together (us included but in pyramid of knowledge or various power).

Honestly my hope is that you actually train people to feeling more at ease with themselves and others, and make this the actual work to spiral all that more than AI data, more the human collective intelligence, p2p and less making other stuff the business of selling / extraction / storing data.... which when it goes leave less skilled people perhaps...

I don't want to sound like I doubt you but honestly everything in business seems to measurably fuel those war like things, same entities that don't care and allowed you to create a company in the first place as a sub-directory or sub-directory under them, so if they are not caring (USA caring?) then your company is also limited as athe parent 'company' - I just think we could have more fun with people enjoying this time of focus and changing each other than falling for serving bad parents and masters.. at least a warmer exchange rather than raw data somewhere behind closed doors.

You will be rich I'm sure, but not the right kind of rich... as those who pay for it are going to be the ones playing people off each other / war since it's already based on that as fake/debt-based games which uncaring banks and governments have undoubtedly made... Your 'company' will surely be part of that... so the conversion of humans is what I mean here... not easy to explain but easy to see as communication is not great on many levels or genuine... and that is a good start not able to be done without real focus as if good communication and friendship was our real business...

Put another way - if we are *not dealing with people's own problems* or training then we are surely losing heat and warmth by people... especially when there are many ready to divide and conquer us. People are the main problem and puzzle and key to loving-making friends - neither computers or computing, nor data is going to help that much...
and I think the past says that though Fediverse as a non-profit I think can really do well as p2p warmth and getting on with each other things as the real work in the world... ✊

Emotional intelligence and other words uncommon involved I can help with...which I think is more effective as data and science as that is not touching on any of that. What humanity needs os more of the humanity itself / the good people / you - rather than more of the same "business" and tax which is just used to rob people / devalue / divide them using their own hard work...

Perhaps my main judgement that *nobody* is really doing this fixing of people / schooling / daily helping everyone / using us as resources towards more of the same... and adjustment from previous unschooling... because frankly money and even data is not enough....

Will post and re-read later but appreciate the answer that I think will kill off my other questions if you have some counters to how your potential work can make things better in the world (which seems is people more than anything).

Grayjay.app is basically an aggregator app for video platforms!

The reason for this app and post goes around YouTube kicking people off (for ages now but maybe increasingly more public as backlash and videos about it) for 0 reason and at best just a general email sent "according to our terms and conditions" etc if you're lucky and almost never any specifics what you did.
Anyway I think they reserve right without reasons, which isn't great when you lost your channel and videos!!

So this post is why Google YouTube it's my favourite avatar at the moment!

And putting my teachers hat on today 🎓 as #FreeSchool 👨‍🏫 then I bring you as the next generation teachers, a big answer to the problem about commercial platforms is when it come sto getting kick-off the site unexpectedly off a platform (right now everyone is likely getting kicked off or subject to the random opn YouTube - especially if videos are "too good" in some way or they just basically don't show your comments or video, demote it / shadow ban it etc...).

If you follow Louis Rossman (fighttorepair.org) you'll know what I mean.

So I recommend you check some of his videos using a YouTube filter, like specifically this video and link below about:

Louis Rossman's video:

"Youtube's Legal Team sent me a letter!":

(notes below are from 4mins)
A list of YouTube problems as below

█ Banned and deleted without notice / willy nilly

█ Not fair enforcement across all of YouTube

█ They don't tell you the rules that you broke, just you're gone sometimes

█ A lot of content is allowed over others that even become more popular and seemingly allowed to break the rules!

█ Comments are deleted or never show up even from authors commenting saying nothing bad... on their own video!
(comments without curses, no links inside, nothing just comments doesn't work on YouTube or is hit and miss)

█ YouTube AI maybe deletes illogically. Lots of AI type new stuff maybe not fully tested / trying to save money on hiring emplyees...

Overall, it seems the better or real you are the more likely of you getting cancelled!

So this is a solution from YouTube kicking people off silently or without reason:

Grayjay.app so people can "Follow Creators, Not Platforms."

Grayjay.app enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms.

SIDE NOTE / DIFFERENT TOPIC
1. The Graduation Cap used in this post is the 🎓 emoji which is known strangely as a "mortar board"!
===================

@freemo Ok.. "Everyone" and "solve any problem" sounds good but a bit ambitious! :D

Is there an existing example company of what you're aiming for as a similar thing? The "data" or "science" it's still a bit too vague for what it is you're actually going to do or how.

If it were anyone else you might think it's a bit pie in the sky claim but since you have more resources and skills to do something I believe you might actually do it!...

"Free" has about 10+ meanings just to give a bit of quick scope and more deeper dive below...

"Free" has almost too many meanings possible, so makes it less useful / too general as a multi-used word and increases chances of misinterpretation with it's broadness and commonality.

One meaning of "free" may include freedom but that is also ambiguous since humans on some level are bound or tied to many things in life so it's hard to know which is inferred.
Saying "Free Software" help but could also mean Free Price more than "Liberty to do as you wish with the software".

=============
SMALL TANGENT - RESUMES AFTER
=============

CAN WE REALLY BE MORE FREE IF YOU AND I WANTED?
In many ways humans are never truly free but this is just for those that might argue free or liberty doesn't exist but it certainly does since you or I individually or groups of people can limit or diminish freedoms / liberty ourselves physically or through software with conditional forces.

For example, it could be Mankind's endevour to make Freedom a priority rather than Mass Profits or Prostituting life for money. the focus could be to give / love , but it's more sell / extract.

================
RESUMING (AFTER TANGENT)...
================
Saying "Free Software" helps but still can be ambiguous or depend on the context and education of the reader... so again relying on chance quite a bit...

Saying "Libre" has the added benefit of:
1 - sounding and said in foreign way and thus being more signifiant in the sentence
- and as uncommon word becomes more likely questioned and less assumed to what it, especially if unaware. (With "free" you can easily assume you know and assign it a meaning incorrectly to what someone says, without the nuance of liberty as the end goal. But saying Libre you can't get away with that)

Libre makes it sound like Libertie in French (English is a mix of French, German and many others!) so makes sense also for those that learned French (100% a mandatory 2nd language in all English secondary / high schools for at least 2 years)

"Free software is a matter of liberty, not price."

@freemo So imagine you have AI platform now for automated data science;

- who does it serve as user / service?

- what does it do?

- do you intend it to serve some overall good for example?

- what do you hope it will succeed to do and for who?

- what is there to 'get better' long after you die?
