@BegoniaArizona below about:

killed by 👮

" Iconic photo from the Ferguson protests after the police killing of Mike Brown.

Nighttime, young black man in dreads wearing a shirt that looks like an American flag, in the streets, a bag of flaming hot Cheetos in one hand, the other hand raised about to throw a canister of tear gas back at the riot place that shot them.

This was Edward Crawford who has since died under suspicious circumstances. "

@BegoniaArizona says:

" A makeshift memorial in the middle of a quiet street in Ferguson MO where Mike Brown was killed by police 10 years ago. The memorial is comprised of candles, flowers, balloons, handwritten signs, stuffed animals, and a Cardinals baseball jersey,, and in the very front an enlarged photo of Mike Brown in his graduation cap. He was killed days before he was planning to start college. "

Robin Williams ✝️ (10 years ago) + Mork & Mindy TV Series.... 

Robin Williams ✝️ (10 years ago)

Was part of Mork & Mindy TV Series.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mork_%26

was a hero of showing innocent misunderstandings and learning...

Mindy as the under-reactionary caring lady and lover of the strange person to help him grow.
Pam Dawber as Mindy McConnell.

I would like life like that show!
💞 :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Mork & Mindy is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from September 14, 1978, to May 27, 1982. A spin-off after a highly successful episode of Happy Days, "My Favorite Orkan", it starred Robin Williams as Mork, an extraterrestrial who comes to Earth from the planet Ork, and Pam Dawber as Mindy McConnell, his human friend, roommate, and eventual love interest.

seems to think the planet is all for their own and only for them to dominate and monopolise!

I wouldn't be surprised if they (the USA controllers / the wealthy) assume that. Not much changed since all major indicates.

Not a healthy mindset.

Emotions ruling the world - Not just Emotions 🌀 💔 or the other as Brains 🧠 :qoto: :javascript: ... ! BOTH ! 

People stay quiet until you insult them or when things get to their worst ad it triggers people.

Like how to save and the next war... I think is long way around by reducing individual consumption of fuel / and paying less into system from various spending...

While I don't mean to emotions are bad I mean "No wonder the system and people use emotion in 'this way' to abuse the emotional / nervous system
PEOPLE NEED A THREAT OR OFFENSIVENESS to them...

because THEY are otherwise flat / non-communicative / non-participatory / scared / not confident, non-moving, non educated...

which is ok until it's being far from reality and thinking everything is ok and even questioning how strange it is for strangers to want to help and not meeting them half-way...

And while they are also doing near-0 about it (ca be good but mostly irresponsibility / hoping things go away) THEY FIND time to complain about other stuff!! :blobrofl: This totally undermines their own intelligence and stoops to tabloid newspaper levels of interest.

with BIG FONT and few words are similar to what you see people comment on - even online (I've done it too where it's like I say "I don't know much about this but..." and obviously often not as simple as it seems but for internet traffic... just great :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

We need to be more personal and forgiving too I guess...

So sorting out the emotions AND looking at the logic is needed.

Not just one 🌀 💔 or the other 🧠 :qoto: :javascript: ! BOTH ! ↔️ ⏸️ 🔁

1 thing just as a double check to see if you got what I meant all this time - us as the product and drive for "work" more often... 

@freemo ⚠️ OK 1 thing just as a double check to see if you get what I meant all this time - you might have missed this:

When I say "make us your work"... I am suggesting it's more important now or more valid to humanity to switch over "work" itself towards people themselves totally or more often. As in picture.

Whether you agree or not with what humanity needs, I just mean us as QOTO literally as your material almost as replacement for the more tech stuff but of course actually not as we will still use it, but not as sole output.

You have people on the server for example which you can access and poll as your willing material (assume you can find out if there is enough people of different types who can be used like component parts) and you don't necessarily change your whole profession or practice but the output of what you call "work" becomes more "real human change" more directly - as we all gravitate to the personal interaction and personal side of things to discover more about what we want / can do and add it together in combination of skills / loves. ⚙️ 💕

The main glue to everything else which happens and many 'products' from it is in us and much more relative way since it's added from that many things which we the X-Men can be used for willingly (from strong to weak) where everyone has a place that just needs sorting or matching with others X-Men's powers and dreams)

You, me and others magnetise and galvanise people themselves to seed themselves and more people (it grows humanly which is important as a lot of other stuff doesn't). in each other.

People with their own material and own work funnel into / by one big organic thing started by you in which we also sort out ourselves when "this" is the main work, which doesn't happen until "this is the main work guys". Then we get doing the micro work and producing our work as products and fulfilling dreams all-the-while bring the best to the fore while endless creation or mergers.

Back-burner stuff comes to the foreground again too (many have those because their "work" takes things over as a mono-culture. We grow culture on QOTO! At least get help to be proven possible or not is a great thing and usually we we know it's possible in many transformative senses of that! Often it's just about the numbers of people who have look and add something and the dream is done. There's surely 1 or 2 that can help anyone see better for anything.

But if it's not a main focus of project or server then I feel the power drive is lost / possibility is not and potential is near 0 and lost (also as a reflection of modern day structural violence stopping growth).

Does the picture make sense (any doubts?) - I wanted to check your whole perception of your "time" as "text" mode could be what mostly what changes and becomes us and the same "forever" work you have now but with the people ( users, dreamers, teachers, humanity, trust building etc).

Seems like the name (Question Others to Teach Ourselves) as acronym is pretty close to that and my writing shows how it is actually the same in uncanny way! Or very close to your original label do you think? Just need project fulfilling with someone to say "hey what are you doing and how can we use you?" and put that into a spreadsheet or QOTO flow chart! Maybe something searchable to be able to see which user is willing to do what, you being occasional architect somewhat!

==================================================

The rest is not needed to read and the picture I hope you can tell me if mis-understandable but basically we get better with you at what you do best and what we in turn do better.

==================================================

DEEPER BUT OPTIONAL
==================================================
It may seem like a big ask or total change but looking at trees of life and "work", we now all want for same things better in the human realms (tech is not enough or we had enough to jump to other things) so together as people it much any stress much more about the love we have for things to grow rather than staying in boxes or one-way toots because of the lack of relativity. It makes "work" much less of a chore and more of a "wow" exploring and growing each other (while we do what we did before but not all in).

If your work is currently mainly the tech output than I think there is enough of that; dealing with tech, repairing, tweaking of things / installing / reinstalling / deleting things / wondering constantly why things don't work / paying for bigtech - so I suggest we no longer need that so much / it's being done and overdone, so we're already at the top of what's needed and healthy for opening up the other tech trees (see picture which can be seen as merging and not stopping anything you do now but integrating it into a more human tree)

It's not just a "give me time I'm lonely" thing but "I'm serious about what you're serious about, and have dreams myself, let's work out everything!". And "I want to make use your time as do you" and orientate / gravitate towards that using existing skills and even more.

This would be change in the world with rippling micro-changes once 1 person is harmonising us, helping us focus, being the magnifying glass to laser things. And then learn to do it ourselves / have regular talks with this focus etc.

This 'solves' the problem of time you mention as it becomes part of your work not just a side game or additional thing you squeeze in between to satisfy us or do more of the same / or even hire others.

Like I said you might not get this or how to transition from classical science-for-more-science into science-to-more-human-happiness and making it easier for ourselves through better managers / dreamers / scientists / processes.

That human or happiness factor, at least as a months test, I think is the evolution "of your kind" who is going too far up the tech tree bending the top from going too far being too heavy for life as tech and now instead you jump or cross to the next tree (as pictures) to increase the field of power in others / people themselves (almost like two trees next to each other you grow the next tree or field) and grow the "human-happiness" tech tree (call it improving people, fulfilling dreams or whole list of things - plenty of good work there).

We are your work essentially, with measurable connections, skills, dreams... and as a data scientist you can help us all make that come true and enjoy your diving with others while still doing that / merging it eventually... bridging the human condition (lack of relativity) with fun, improvement, y/our expertise (including getting people using themselves together)

I had accept and agreed with all you said until I realized you were talking probably more in the way of trying to squeeze it all in on the side when I mean shifting focus to us as the main but looping it all back too with existing.

We could literally fill in the boxes of picture but until we really have to or major test happens with orientation of gifted people like yourself, I feel like it won't happen on any scale or enough people to seed themselves p2p.

SIDE TOPICS - XMEN / TRANSFORMERS
=================================
lol - isn't it amazing how words almost fit themselves to tell us what they mean and what we are to do?

In this paragraph below I say magnetise ( which is like from X-Men) and galvanise like (from !)
(The X-Men and Transformers references I think fit well into this context, don't you you think @gabriel )

I said in this paragraph:
"You, me and others magnetise and galvanise people themselves to seed themselves and more people more obviously with consent and it grows humanly.

(which is important as a lot of other stuff doesn't / can't care so much about anything because it it's not human - can't cut human out of anything!).

#Quote ...there is a garden. I will meet you there... ONLINE! 🌐 #Rumi 🌐 

"Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.
- Rumi

The quote seems to be about something more than just "right and wrong" and more about meeting in beautiful place together, sharing that "as the middle perspective" or acceptance and nature as the focus to view things from without right and wrong being divisive...

But as for a moment I go for my own interpretation that we need to do the "middle ground" online as the garden more privately AND THEN go to the actual garden which is often surrounded by / bad people / !

TLDR; Going to the garden might be easy (to protest for example) but practicing to talk longer together is the art we also need so badly to practice online as the human glue to everything and in everything. Doesn't have to be so deep either,

⚠️ 💥 Can't just do short talking.

That always = war / shallow depth / misunderstanding / getting manipulated by others presenting false reality 💥 ⚠️

When Rumi said "I will meet you there" he said also said "meet me online so we know which garden you will be in!... and so we don't get lost and arrested for hours and hours !"

@ghjardim The last part was a funny coincidence when I searched for FTP it also came up with FUCKTHEPOPULATION in the results so I also mentioned it at the end and put the link to it.
The cursor on that webpage uses the middle finger cursor if you visit the link you will see it's like the emoji of the middle finger.

Tomorrow, #Friday, is #CriticalMass day in #Munich. Join other #cyclists (and a bunch of usually good-humoured #police officers) for a relaxed, beautiful #summer evening. Despite ongoing construction work at Max-Joseph-Platz the leisurely #bikeride starts in front of the opera house at 6:30pm. You may also join at the #Bavaria monument around 8pm.

Note that the meeting points will change for the #September #CM 27th Sep. In doubt use the @criticalmaps app.

@ghjardim
SSH File Transfer Protocol is SFTP so not far off right.

I've been saying SFTP also instead of FTPS but people anyway people seem to be always like no the FTP style stuff it's insecure etc... but I've always liked the 70+ year old protocol and client interface + immediacy in file management. It's native so no other software to add, WYSIWYG, basic, super fast...

Lots of experts still use it even for mass downloads...

❓ I think directories can be passworded too or more tweaks if needed if really being too open is bad (I'd also just switch access off after making a time frame fr people or rotate passwords personally as a remedy for abuse and prevention).

FTP also = FUCKTHEPOPULATION

- So try to renew what good it was into something else and allow next people (or same staff people) and new generation to continue / death re-growth cycle etc...

@freemo Sure, thanks. .

Can also ignore this message.

==================

Because I simply cannot see any other way for the human endeavor I think and so I continue as it's such a big missing piece....

We will always get what masters we deserve if really the existing limitations are what we already have today as proof itself almost.

All is always lost again without this kind of human stuff.

Much more personal somehow for the way...
