@abitofzen One of those paradox type quotes which I just realised is a paradox because it seems like it's in the middle of a balance like a see-saw that doesn't move but you are actively maintaining the balance though it seem not much happening!

Overton window - horizontal version... 

"Overton window" is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time - also known as the window of discourse.

Picture is my edited horizontal 'window' version of the vertical Wikipedia version (that didn't make as much sense to me vertically in the original).

1█ Would consider joining either of yours (Gabe / Will)

2█ bonus if I could move my posts (I think there is a way manually moving the outbox.json from backup download) and this would really get people off their server (and off those connected to threads (fb/meta) / bluesky bridge etc - as this is optionally one big thing to solve (invasion of data) but if you want to be connected to those just say up front...

3█ Good for you to prepare server info and statements...

@CapitalB Sure, it works, but I lean toward more of a comparison being effective more than entertainment or pointing a bit like at a freak-show that just get more popular ... because maybe people still don't know better... but yeah I agree good/bad examples needed (for those that actual discern it)...

@degrowthuk "Let the next generation pay for it / suffer today's consequences"

(They are cashing in - no change to that unless it's us not 'buying' it <--- is your answer)

This is something to hold previous gen accountable or at least not pretend they didn't do anything by taking from the future... short-changing us...

@CapitalB Fair enough for your comment, but I wonder why mention it?

Basically mentions their site, and therefore get more hits... ?

Not a big ask and not against anyone, just a bit of the 'why?!" because you mention that it's a flat earth shizo etc example ... which you probably don't agree with and that they might be a troll etc.... and so leave their website address for people to click!!? <--- so I don't get that and just asking...

I guess you're leaving an example of what is bad? And maybe I mostly feel a website link is just going to lead them to get more hits to something you don't agree with (if I'm somewhat right about that).

On holiday in a location with poor phone signal, I am now rendered unable to use my bank account. Every time they send me a 2FA code, it takes so long to arrive that my session expires before I can enter it.

Most banks in the UK require a phone number in order to authenticate, and my bank requires all 2FA to go over text. I don't know if this is still true with mobile apps, but those have their own problems.

@CapitalB Fair enough for your comment, but I wonder why even mention it?

I mean if you added more from your side why not, it would make more sense or give more balance. But just leaving most a website is just going to lead them to that which you don't agree with (if I'm somewhat right about that).

The problems of addictions is that naturally "being alive" means "I want to keep doing something"

- therefore being alive = trouble / can be considered part of any addiction.

Normal or Natural as / of Life

When can I search my toots again? (it's been months @freemo)

"Searching toots by their content is not enabled on this Mastodon server."

I want "Societal Change"

@Paulos_the_fog probably chrome doing it, chrome is basically datagathering malware itself.

Deal with people in a primitive way, then guess what you get in return?

Not much better...

Give intelligent communication a chance...

Using the older equipment for the way!

Using the older equipment for the way! (surely many names for this - can't think of much, can you?)

maybe or

Any more words? ... etc

Old things seem to be stronger (maybe) because of mentality of design at the time / what they had to work with / more metal-based orientation (weight yes but strong chassis) / less plastic-based design / less faff to go wrong / more stock templates etc and drivers that have time invest / history...

Chime in on that if you like! Thanks

And the whole "1 thing doesn't work therefore it's too much hassle" could also be considered a word (also escapes me) but the "hassle" people consider should be part of normal "repair" and doing their bit instead of buying new... things like people not even trying is beyond me (as if things were supposed to last forever / never be subject to wear and tear or stress of plugging in and out).

It's true on the other side less people maybe are doing repair work and things got cheaper? But most things even to buy new as components are worth a try / gamble at repair.

Thoughts and synonyms welcome!

System of Love... System of Care between people as a more responsible and human "System"... which we can't always buy or sell (picture & text)

==================
EXTENDED INTRO
==================

These words related to love and respect for each human.

(and once they learn / share / practice it's techniques and sentiments they understand how it works and is mostly circularly / reciprocated).

"Independent" doesn't exist (mentally, spiritually, physically etc)... 

Humans don't exist without Humans...

You're never "Independent" and parents teach a bit of a flawed meaning even taking it's best sides... which might be nicer version which is put raw "just get money any which way you can and we will respect you" type of "Independent" !

"More Independent" maybe works
but that is usually over-relying on other things (again connected to people or worse money which is debt to humans before even the human direct contact)
