"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).

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.

Landlords and LandLards ⬅️ these are the fatter ones from your rent money - oily lard asses 💧🛢️ - you could trap them easy and fry them like sausages... _sausages_ or hog roast

@RadicalAnthro People are trapped into paying for their luxury and taxes for #LANDLORDS (big and small landlords) and their #war WARMONGERING TOO.. local and reote
The alternative or opposites are not really existing without big risk.... BUT
That's why people jack it all in sometimes AND THEN think about it after clearing al the CRAP in their life (keep the past as some digital photos and go make life somewhere else)!
Like literally get rid of ALL your stuff and make a shack and two shelves somewhere. I'll help...

2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.
2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.
Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-15/microsoft-s-ai-investment-imperils-climate-goal-as-emissions-jump-30
PROBLEMS (yes plenty around...)
BUT SOLUTIONS? (real talk with fediverse people + do audio chats regularly together weekly!)
Use this for instant chat:

REAL CHANGE - Less ratio of moaning !
(you can still moan a bit, but real talk more)
@wmd Quick-ish fun fix / less complex is:
1. Get another zip (donor bag or drawer somewhere - find or wait for another bag zip)
2. Cut out this zip,
(straight cut or not new will cover the repair)
3. Sew the new to edges of old (literally the most basic sew, lots of times = strong zip)
Colour-matching thread
(unless you want to show off your repair as it actually looks cool as "I re-used this" rather than perfect China/Tahailand/Waiwan looking new bag) :)
What do you think - maybe the size is a bit non-standard but even that you can cut to size I think!
🔥 Couchers (Couchsurfing) went the same evil 
Oh dear God no 🔥 #Couchers 🔥

What are you thinking adding / supporting these features at all?
🔥 Couchers went evil
Coming from Couchsurfing lessons? It seems it's maybe a copy.
🛋️ Couchers Deleted 🗑️ and back to the ones that didn't go crazy - I don't need to host like that! Or try completely heading the wrong way to do trust and feedback how it was *between it's people*. Even just to try it or 'make it optional' as the road to hell later.
NOT Governments & Biometrics, 👎
NOT Commercial American Apps 
👎 or Using Hi-Tech Devices 👎

@yvanspijk Hi interested in the subject- just wondering media is reusable #CreativeCommons ? 
Would love to talk more but also realise not everyone does - so let me know how interested you are in that.
Thanks

Say hi and I'll
a) Listen to your stuff
b) Consider buying your €5 EUR or less album (really I will just payment is only things as it's a small amount and making sure it's not stinging my side to give from over the continents)
So I have to test Bandcamp and see if it's easy, works with bank etc then basically I'm looking to use money I have to give it away.
If it's easy online AND FEDIVERSE FRIENDLY - THEN YES (and perhaps hoping I don't get a wave of #Indie #Bands and people reply! Maybe 10 max to give 50 out them more if payments work)
Maybe I would like confirmation to say you got it also! Fedi people don't reply sometimes of course 🤣 so I might have to specify things like this.
💰 💰 💰 MUSIC DONATIONS 💰 💰 💰
ANYWAY... if you read this and 🌟 the idea of #donating #donations paying #artists if might be something of a help keep me thinking about it and then pay everyone off one day while listing to people on Fediverse / Bandcamp... 🎵
#Music for the way? 🎵
#Bandcamp #Music has some good #8Bit #Audio + gives away money to artists.... which is nice.
#Fediverse needs something like this maybe... ? To...
➡️ Give away stuff (digital downloads free / samples)
➡️ Follow favorite artist (get artists here)
➡️ Keep a wishlist
➡️ Explore music of like-minded fans in live moderated chat
Get something going!
Guess it's hard to have any 'system' without the cheating or 
SNOOPING 👀 stuff...
Anyway some 8bit #retro music:

@garyackerman Care to list any conspiracy theories you were thinking of?
(General statements from a far are also less specific / less valuable and getting equally tiresome)
🏦 They just don't have the feelings for u$ 👀 .
💀 Can't try too hard with the wrong types.

Great piece by Willem Schinkel on the crack-down on protest at Dutch universities (all in the name of 'academic freedom'): "With an extreme right government in the making, this political servility bodes ill. What other demands by the state will cause universities to yield to political pressure?"
@MathijsvdSande Excellent. ➡️ Let me know if ever it comes out on eBook / electronic media.
➡️ And if ever want to do audio exchange / chat about it (always interesting from author themself to hear their own story/journey)
Thanks
Too busy to give others something better to do?... Use #IHaveTime hashtag if you have time for people!
IT IS A PROB IF HARDLY ANYONE USES OUR SPARE TIME
AND WE ALL KNOW "JOBS" ARE NOT THE BEST ANSWERS FOR CHANGING THINGS! yeah more state and money involved (and more problems!)
Free time and people are not being used for work and even go to do B$ jobs just because good people can't give them something to do.
We all know "job" is just about money / keeping empire going with tax mostly and what is regulated and "allowed" HARDLY MAKES A CHANGE with everyone under a contract!
Use #IHaveTime hashtag of similar - not just " #Jobs "

You want to curb speech itself using Mastodon?
" ...we’re testing a new feature aimed to curb unneccesary negativity that comes from being on the Internet."
"Improving the quality of conversations on Mastodon"
READ HERE
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/11/improving-the-quality-of-conversations-on-mastodon/
====================
BELOW IS text + my comments clearly labelled in between paragraphs:
====================
From nearly the beginning almost...
" ...we’re testing a new feature aimed to curb unneccesary negativity that comes from being on the Internet.
Complete strangers using an overly familiar tone, offering unsolicited advice, or starting arguments that are completely besides the point—these should be familiar to all who use social media. "
💬 ME: Yes social is about improving ourselves. That's what we want - not nanny state or YouTube algo-filtering type stuff as it sounds but please gone on...
"Overall, we’re committed to ensuring folks on Mastodon have a pleasant experience posting. We hear time and time again how much people enjoy coming to Mastodon to have real conversations with real people.
💬 ME: Ok... I don't hear so much bad stuff so "ensuring folks on Mastodon have a pleasant experience posting." can imagine is risky as how much you want to sterilise it?
If it's AI accounts perhaps that something to look at but without tying it all in - Your idea of pleasant I guess is a bit risky and what offends me in any big design...
"And we want to ensure it stays that way. We look forward to hearing what you think of the new prompts! "
💬 ME: What prompts? Why not disclose them or some examples/
Maybe... just creating work for yourself ?
====================
SUMMARY ABOUT MASTODON
====================
What specifically I don't know is happening... Just seems over-reach/over-doing it.
No hate here just WTF surprise combination this year 2 MAIN THING
1/ for reply prompts / Pleasant experience (heard those terms before)
+
2/ Mastodon funding setup in USA now not mainly in EU!
==============================
DEEPER COMMENTS BELOW (WHILE I'M STILL ALLOWED THE 'PLEASANT EXPERIENCE' )
===============================
I think this is:
1- Overreach into 'our experience'...
2- Mastodon has not wanted to do things better for links (like adding alternative youtube links (which rakes in Google YouTube tons of cash and advertising)
3- Now Mastodon funding is in USA (503 non-profit... Becoming Americanised signing terms and conditions there... is more than one thinks it is signing the dotted line overseas... let a bit of Julian Assange remind that you don't have to do anything wrong to create you a whole heap of mess and let them take over playing ball with them / getting money from there $hee$h... Makes sense in a lot of ways but the biggest overarching ones historically about U.S.A domination / #wars so going there is being part of that in many ways...

Sure, it does not seem useful now and is way too expensive. But just you wait, any minute now the hockey stick curve will hit, the price will go down and the usefulness up. You will wonder how you ever lived without this tech. There is no stopping 3D TVs! I mean, the metaverse. I mean NFTs. I mean depth cameras. I mean voice assistants. I mean generative tools. Yeah, that's the one. For real this time.

@aral Female hair is either long or political. Sexual orientation is either heterosexual or political. Gender identity is either cis or political. Clothing is either gender stereotyped and boring or political. City infrastructure is either car-focused or political. Energy is either fossil fuels or political. Education is either white christian propaganda or political.
Everything follows the same pattern, tech included.
