@Hejny Mastodon Export In progress...

Looks really good if it loads pictures with posts (in demo it seems so)...

This account helped me see a demo of it @meowViewer

... because I saw another similar tool from #BovineSocial website but sadly that doesn't link pictures

https://bovine.social/mastodon/

- so that only shows text and as infinite scroll of posts which takes a lot of memory, inevitably crashes.

This tool #MeowViewer looks like it's paginated which saves that problem and to find a post again A LOT easier with a search box 🔍

So I just boosted a toot just now related to that tool's account which is

@meowViewer

Makes it super clear when seeing that account's toot (you can also boost the account's post and suggest it to others if you like).

Really appreciate it... if it works ;p

1990's first known cases, led by Antonio Oposa, a Philippine lawyer that represented a class-action suit of 43 students against the Philippine government to protect a forest surrounding their village.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliana_v._United_States#cite_ref-14

Among their arguments, the youths' attorneys asserted that

1/ the lack of governmental action on climate change discriminated against the youths' generation, since they would be most impacted by climate change but

2/ have no voting rights to influence things...

Oposa had won the suit, which led to numerous other lawsuits around the world.[5] As of July 2018, there were over 1,000 such lawsuits filed across 24 countries, with 888 of those within the United States.[6]

BEST AND WORST SLOGAN?...
====================

Nicholas Goldberg described MAGA as both one of the worst campaign slogans ever and "a fabulous campaign slogan", writing:

💬 "It was vague enough to appeal to optimists generally, while leaving plenty of room for bitter and resentful voters to conclude that we were finally going back to the days when they ran the world."

1998 first usage?
Author Octavia E. Butler used "Make America Great Again" as the presidential campaign slogan for the dictator Andrew Steele Jarret in her 1998 dystopian novel, Parable of the Talents.

1980 commercial usage:
Originally used by Ronald Reagan as a campaign slogan in his 1980 presidential campaign (Let's Make America Great Again)

The same negative / luke-warm patterns (never going to swim but talking about it all the time).

People who twist what someone says or label them too early are also more to blame than anyone else try to explaining and stay in conversation longer towards understanding and providing more information than less.

I'm talking genuine people.

At the end people need to accept they might be different (as basic as that seems, that seems to be needed to remind people) and keep finding better focus like hopping on better stones together. Not just OMG you're still using Windows... so I can't talk to you. Find out why even but do move on...

People tend to find land-mines and step on them almost like self-baiting themselves without realising THAT is the big problem.
🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️

More is better I think in terms of info / trying (and learning to filter / cherry pick comes with it in time as well as those controlling themselves if too unleashed)

Less writing is only going to rear it's head later possibly and at the worst point in time if communication isn't practised to understood / balanced in each other.

✅ People are consistently not very good
but
☑️ if you are the one focussing on the better things then it almost doesn't matter people are not very good above a certain communication standard because you continue a healthy ping pong and get better - that's all !

☑️ It's usually the others if they are negative and unconstructive / destructive.

Fediverse could be more caring of people as a "system" but isn't yet since existing people also are not orientated that way (at least online) and also a bit flakey let's say and can't do / trust much... like being afraid of one's own shadow 👥 or imperfections.

So Mastodon is great - it is a step UP from "just another" "system" and better without advertising etc. But needs the people directly involved also to save Mastodon in a way when it has no money...

Next level is the caring by admins supporting users to do their own things they like EVEN MORE

As a circular economy in many senses - creativity / allowing creative ways to promote ourselves / encouraging finances for servers / advertising like-minded project just like Mastodon (like Invidious) and beyond....

If we don't we kind of naturally die out or need Venture Crapitalism...

Systems cut out human sides like their attributes / creative sides of people / interaction between them.

Since systems tend to be more robotic or digital driven (1 or 0 on screens, devices etc), they tend to be virtual and less human? ?

More systems = less directly human ways ?

#Answers Accepting "imperfection" in any system accepts humans are imperfect.

Systems tend to be mechanical or digital driven so in any system this tends to cut out humans almost completely (unless you allow it as part of "bringing back humanity" into work like extra communication, creativity etc).

Accepting creativity / difference in speech / language etc mean on has to almost allow everything while keeping the main things going (not finding and policing smaller problems all the time).

(Stealing etc is still bad so not that but I mean other real stuff.)

Non-genuine stuff yes you can police and cut out - but genuine people being different - this needs to be accepted and incorporated always in any 'system' that tends to be robotic / non-human.

More systems = less humanity ?

"Keyboard Christian" - A term I have coined for people that work on and with computers only - not much effort otherwise.

A regularly disappointing in the religious sense of claiming they are Christian without getting anything together or progress of the human kind.

Sub-notes:
1. Usually good computer coders.

2. Might even know their religion quite well but essentially can't put it into practice since talking with humans is always different / imperfect

3. They fall into faults finding instead of accepting humans and human communication is not perfect (not like computers as one way or as clear / perfect robotic syntax and grammar according to what they like).

@freemo Hi can you turn on searching own posts from the search box ? #QOTO

@hazlin
Maybe was a bit unclear but taking point from each paragraph can see I was saying you're a lot like others.
Non-players. Talk but no action or interaction. Low level ability.

What walls?

Strange?

( Possibly because strange is when you are not familiar or scared? )

Rude language?

You're just creating things in between instead of pushing through for something better taking it actually somewhere.

What kind of Christian are you?

What isn't working?
Communication that only just started? Give me a break.

You're totally being like the quick-to-run-away people and not pushing any positives.
Such a time-waster.

We haven't even started and you're like "this isn't working for me". . . .

I have to wonder what would *ever* work for you. Pure excuses and pointing to nothing and then running. That is typical.

It's not even a put down, it's like not-very-strong, circular, ill inward people. What to do with people like that. Time wasters.

Guess I tried and you got some good answers.

You'd need 10 lifetimes probably to actually do 1 thing (do let me know if you are trying things as I don't see it).

The term "Keyboard Christian" is born now (or the long line of yous doing not much / not even able to try or hold conversation)

Finding family? My ass - we are increasingly starting alone and with people like you getting more alone by the second.

Good luck is ofen said from those that canNOT try properly.
You win.

That's all the points in order.

Counter the points or go waste time pretending elsewhere.

That wraps this weak stuff. Do better with the next one that gives you time to see if you have any aims in life!
