@chrisnelder 100% doctorow's law in action, destroying everything good

@ceejbot back in the day… early 90s… we referred to Microsoft as “the Borg.” Seems almost quaint now. We had no idea….

Hello everyone!

We have some unfortunate news. @fastmail has made the decision to lay off 60% of our bargaining unit, including our bargaining committee, in a surprise restructure while we were in the middle of contract negotiations. Fortunately, we were able to negotiate for a much better severance package than we would have gotten had we not unionized when we did. We are grateful for the work that the Communication Workers of America put in on our behalf to get us the best deal they could.

"Money is not thermodynamically compliant (incl. Crypto, Shells, IOU's,)"...

- dibi58 (REARRANGED / PARAPHRASED SENTENCE)
@dibi58 this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58/11268

============================
EXTRA POINTS THAT CAME TO MY MIND...
============================

- MONEY is not decomposing or fungible like nature is (it's effectively cheated / hidden / embedded / representative somewhat

- The cost of coins is not spoken of publicly

-Face value of coins or notes seems not to change value but every second it is changing and every day/week/years there is = / - ALMOST NEVER THE SAME.

- All money / currency either relies on other currency or other markets ($) and then further factors. Probably just for control.

- This all makes MONEY arbitrary / man's control mechanism / a changeable opinion or changeable in worth at any time with various reasoning including "Banks and Gov just decided XYZ change"

- it's resupply / renewing / other calculations are almost immeasurable from various timepoints to another while so much has changed, making it inaccurate to measure.

- Banks may not know exactly how much is lost / loaned / invested abroad etc...

@freeschool

thats not the only problem of money, as a representation of energy can not be neither subjective nor unlinked from the factual total amount of available energy ...

iow money (cripto, shells, ious,) not thermodynamically compliant ...

Hi Molly, some Yes/No/Maybe question below please... 

@molly0xfff Hi Molly,
==================
INTRO OR CAN SKIP TO NEXT ==== LINE SECTION...
==================
Thought I'd reach out directly to avoid replying in other replies ans save your time eventually...

I think it will save your eyes if I just check some things as a list and then call it a day.

Here are some Yes/No/Maybe questions rather than writing anything long in reply without trying to trap you at all.

====================
So you agree Yes/No/Maybe to questions below ?
====================
☑️ ❓ MONEY is mostly DEBT ❓
It is sold to people and therefore worth less than face value - each 100 is worth 90 for example when you pay 10 for the 100.

☑️ ❓ Business and life based mostly on money ❓

☑️ ❓ People *pay* / *continuously paying* for money (or if not you someone else in the chain) means you also have pay for it from making you or their $ less worth overall ❓
(liquefy or dilute adding more water / money)

☑️ ❓ EQUATION LOOSELY agree ❓
$ really = [$ - fee]
or $ = $ - ( % added over Time length of loan )

☑️ ❓ Each $ is worth less than face value as soon as it's loaned (i,e bought)❓

☑️ ❓ And worth less again as re-loaned from initial amount (or "principle") making it worth even less ❓

☑️ ❓ BANKS= BIGGEST CREATOR OF PROFIT AND THEREFORE HOLD POLITICAL SWAY / POWER 🏦 AS THEY HAVE POWER TO LEND OR NOT ? ❓ (ALMOST LIFE AND DEATH AS LENDING OR NOT)

☑️ ❓ NEVER DOES TOTAL MONEY = TOTAL DEBT?

THANK YOU. For speed JUST Y/N/Maybe is fine.

MONEY / Banks vs. CRYPTO

Our whole life is based on Banks (negative maths / debt-based)

But people cry against CRYpto...

But I ASK YOU NOW without advocating crypto - would you shout against so much

1/ if I proved right now to you Crypto is less corrupt?)

2/ if banks started moving onto crypto, forcing you to use it then what, would you give it just the same as Money now and shrug?

Playing / is playing into their hands too much.

A whole new line of respect is needed for .... :love_parrot:

Reduce/Sacrifice and increment other things slowly.

"Don't use money or the bad people" is hard to say to people...

but eventually it's the moral way and winner.

Funding for "good guys" could be embraced a bit more = advertising between ourselves more + linking together (if not accepting crypto as payments and what it bypasses 

@molly0xfff
I really think we need to embrace exactly the same tools as our opposition seems to, even without seemingly knowing about it. (I see how quickly they transition and even use our tech almost).

We are not prepared to use everything I guess.

Crypto is not for me but hands-down the use-cases for cornered people / nomads / oppressed at least work better than 0 / nothing...
If it helps it just "beats other scams" / is less worse and justified by it's output

Examples are the movement for Truckers who basically had everything confiscated and still had means to pay for fuel.
/ /

or individuals like Cahlen buying gift cards for groceries totally living on Crypto and minimising:

cahlen.org/ / @cahlen

What is 'weaponised' as tools against us is what perhaps "Good guys" shy away from using and avoid... which is as un-reasonable sometimes within a bubble of our whole life based on Banks (equally corrupt / debt-based)

So crypto as a terrible word is not without use-case justifications and more calculated concession. By all means stop using it after and get full evaluation - plenty of Fediverse to debate it first AND HAVE EXPERIENCE more than fear.

I'd like to talk more but just say for now::
MONEY is just DEBT - it is sold to people and therefore worth less than face value - each 100 is worth 90 for example (when you base business on people *paying* for money (if not you someone else in the system) then before you get the money (via the loan etc) you have paid for it and others do the same making it less worth for you too!)

===========
Effectively $ really = [$ - fee]
or $ = $ - (⏲️x$%)
===============

IF THAT EQUATION ABOVE INTERESTS THE READER... READ ON ELSE STOP...

Each $ is worth less than face value - as soon as it's loaned (i,e bought!) again and again too making it even less even at $1 fee or miniscule amounts that is crazy debt changed hands and re-loaned! =PROFIT AND POLITICAL POWER TO 🏦'S

And money is loaned again and again - IF you keep money in the bank that's a fucking crypto or energy loss itself. Mass energy loss to banks stealing / re-loaning / risking existing money of some kind:

AS NEVER DOES $ = TOTAL MONEY.

MONEY = DEBT (RE-LOANED UPTO 9 TIMES SOMETIMES)

And I don't like crypto but it displaces things according to some strength like by-passing Banks much more and success against China itself trying to stop it has done very well over a long time too (not just fly by night).

So let's do advertising at least for banks or crypto between us because no action is death.

Now it seems so under-used....

If love can't prevail or work as then yeah let those that have, give! Money!

Almost too proud to link arms or use technology it seems. People don't even know how to do it too which is fair being in computer world mostly and minimising damage of which needs fighting on even more now.

Funding could be embraced a bit more + advertising between ourselves more + linking together (if not accepting crypto payments for what it bypasses)

Selling debt to people is negative
^-----^--- needs to be acknowledged DAILY - what a scam... by

Why are mainly young people of #GenZ protesting in #Kenya ? During my recent visit I haven't come across anyone who would have not complained about tax rises and the economic pinch most felt.
The new wave of proposed rises in the finance bill were a 16% sales tax on bread and a 25% duty on cooking oil.
The govt backtracked on some, but an amended bill was passed today.

The eco-levy would increase the cost of imported products such as sanitary pads and nappies...

More updates as they come in

Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion but not all opinions are equally informed.

If you invest in technology heavily you distance yourself from people. 

Investment (time and money etc) risks it all going to people you supply it, behind the web like Amazon servers / or otherwise subsidiaries inside each other as umbrella or sister companies. Like there is only 6 or 7 main cinema distributors...

Almost non-direct "people work" means you are in danger of diverting your energy away from people themselves (all behind a screen?) and then investing in BigTech directly.

Simply put what doesn't progress people's mindset is losing us all time as that is the first and last thing. Not temporary computing or more data.

If you invest in technology you start to distance yourself.

Indeed you may have lost touch.

[ Oh shit, strange to write / read that. What can I say but "Let's get to work and re-right that wrong (contact me). ]

@barefootstache Ah great, rucking-related stuff, just what you're into also. Glad to hear!

How does one even price this kind of work, if you don't mind me asking? There like an X factor perhaps of hours and the degree of difficulty involved... where Wordpress perhaps designates that to owner and it's main users with GUI interface (IF I'm right there?)
