@ali1234 hehe - do you have more of a calculation to this even with a bit of pulling of leg?
I have some extra horses 'lying around' ;)
Ukrainians are Russian-ish ?... And so are many cultures just letting things slip by the minute avoiding all responsibility / personal conflict themselves...
@synlogic It seems you deleted a post about Ukrainian's being similar to Russian's and a boycotting theme. About 1.5hours back from this post.
But I send reply now anyway as my own toot since it's gone as it had a good point not many might mention. So I'll take a few points and make it my own thread... (if you put the post back let me know and I'll add it there)
People are most measurably behind in the mind. And to say that Ukrainian's might be also, that can be hard for me to say, but apart from naturally being behind as humanity (or letting things slip in exchange for money, banks. gov etc) it's also that YES:
UKRAINIANS AND RUSSIAN MAY WELL BE SIMILAR AND THE SAME... (assimilated)
It's also a case of "one looks better that the other" in terms of oppressor and weaker person but on other terms there is a rolling history and "just another leader" timeline (like a boss in a company that suddenly comes in) and in this template anyone can come along and do similar things in the past (which quite all countries did or didn't know how to give power to it's people to conquer this major re-occurrence and only defended it's land to oppress the people... again)....
It's not easy either as anyone just coming into life has the previous rolling crap to deal with as a 'system' (way of cheating people or imposing an original idea ⬅️ many ways to see it but ultimately uncaring EVERYWHERE )
So like a leaning tree nobody want to straighten or hold up, it just keeps leaning towards the same things - so it's also made up of the same type of dynamics (largely people don't doing anything or not to the end to say it's unacceptable for any war or heavy extraction as cruelty and false freedoms- and with actually caring nothing can be built on top of that)
Ukrainians are Russian-ish... And so are many elsewhere - but you're right to point to language, habits, assimilating for so long next to each other...
Just people/humanity are very much behind and still letting things slip despite the lessons...
(and just for historical imagination without adding fire...)
Just imagine what might happen as examples and money / war orientated stuff...
example ➡️ ❓ Ukraine becomes a super power over time or instantly and then tries to take over Europe with all that money.
example ➡️ ❓ USA's money ruins Ukraine and it just becomes another crappy copy with the same high street we see everywhere
Culture is irrevocably eroded,
Americanism's are copied and then imposed. Already something everywhere as ultimatums almost.
example ➡️ ❓ Ukraine and Russia team up temporarily and already have skilled mercenaries going to Africa to extract big bounties there and pave the way for Western expansion (and agree to call off war for now and sort out Africa with their own mutual teams of specialists since Africa is a lesser / weaker team - and that's what the monopoly board is about - to conquer, extract - the weaker the better so why not divert attention for a bit and call it "ceasefire") 🌍
example ➡️ ❓ LOTS OF EXAMPLES. It's all a dirty business of extraction / prostitution unless your business become actually caring and resolving all past problems and letting the people have more power over governments.
ETC.
Ukrainians are Russian-ish ?...
Yes. And so are many cultures as a people and humanity very much behind - just letting things slip by the minute avoiding all responsibility / personal conflict themselves... which adds to all this immorality on a lower level or higher up...
Once you sell yourself only and don't aim for anything more, you leave yourself at the mercy that give "no mercy" and frankly don't care and won't until people do better to care daily together...
I have answers but who wants to try ? ❓
Powerless People - Complaining or Not Complaining + Staying polite during morally questionable changes?
@danvolchek I think it comes from being powerless all round / all in all.
Almost like, "what else can they do?" ... I would actually ask you that too
(True we could hate less, but almost is like saying nothing while things get 'worse' is also not good and doesn't feel good meanwhile).
For me the answer is almost correcting things from the beginning of everything - almost everything (which is why people don't change or want to correct things because the same way they incremented on us to get here (for dependency, bad stuff etc) is the same way we have to increment out (by almost our own self if needs be and nobody else around to help figure it out).
I guess it's also reflective that 'Free' is still paying for things in some way so always at some point companies are going to do something not free or in line with it.... and that's a complaint about society too (I don't believe it has to be this way)/
For example, good things could be exempt from needing to pay so much taxes or 'already paid' in many ways after a certain time. Or just more people consider paying it forward until almost all of it is.
So... Being powerless - Complaining or Not Complaining / Staying polite during morally questionable things... not easy. And perhaps feelings of getting better?
And on the other side "You can't please everyone..." (which could be solved by allowing disabling / allowing opt-outs but of course that wouldn't be profitable as everyone would disable adverts and bad parts...
@meowViewer HI
OK DID A FEW TESTS
I think it's some of the mp3's with album art that causes issues - also in Mastodon interface it was giving 422 error code (see pic) which might match why it doesn't work in your viewer also (though in Mastodon album art was working for a long time).
When I including my mp3s in the zip file it causes the problems in meowviewer.. Without mp3s no problem (MP4's in posts work and show)
If you want the backup export file I used to get problems I can also upload it for you to test.
SECTIONS ARE HEADED BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS....
========================
BACK STORY WITH MASTODON
========================
In Mastodon interface I remember getting 422 error code while trying to upload mp3's - nobody knew why and it was working for ages - so I think at some point intolerance or problems were introduced as it was working to show thumbnails the way I was adding them (and before we upgraded server as that only happened recently) and seems same things trigger the same in your viewer...
I remember customising my mp3's by adding/saving/EMBEDDING picture (album pic / cover art) in the mp3 file itself so Mastodon perhaps has issue to upload this or has problem displaying it.
I have attached below (422 error code).
==============================
- TEST SUMMARY (what I tried)
==============================
0/ ORIGINAL tar.gz FILE = DID NOT WORK IN YOUR VIEWER
BUT POSITIVELY
1/ POSTS + PICS = WORKING ☑️
SO NO MP3 + NO MP4 WORKS IN VIEWER ✅
2/ POSTS + PICS + MP4 = WORKS IN ZIP FILE ☑️
SO MP4 = WORKS IN YOUR VIEWER ✅
NOTES:
zip files were used (was easier to resave than a new tar.gz) and above combinations tested to see what gives error (mp3s)
Would be good if RAR format was also supported
P.S 4gb RAM - 1 or 2 minutes to load with MP4s in archive, Faster with just posts and pics...
====================
- MY CONCLUSION IS:
====================
mp3's cause the error - those with EMBEDDED thumbnails (inside the file) seem to cause the problem- or something similar (haven't done the fine testing)
If you want the backup export file I use with small mp3's I can also upload it for you to test.
@andrewrk Truth of the original statement seems to also suggest more things that might not be too clear at first because so little is said in detail.
For example, could mean:
1/ it's bad that corporations are able to use different people to carry a brand name and not die because of what bad they companies do and use people as replaceable units to keep their corporation going (a virtual entity).
It's not originally said in the short 1-liner but I'm sure many can see different branches of original feeling... that
2/ 1 individual can do bad things to others, but 1 company many can distribute and continue the bad like a vehicle with constantly changing drivers... (continuing same idea all the time or some changing the company even though name is the same)
I liked Marty Fouts response too here is also true that businesses often do die somewhat @MartyFouts
but generally the feeling might also be about corporations themselves being unfair or crappy in some ways like:
1/ corporate groups vs. citizen individuals
The structure IS the inequality and the leverage from governments allowing creation of virtual companies to exist (giving them special powers, benefits, bendable rules / paying fines only/mostly etc)
COMPUTERS & AI INSTEAD OF PEOPLE ?
COMPUTERS / AI INSTEAD OF PEOPLE DOING PEOPLE
PEOPLE BUILDING FRIENDSHIP ? Seems people don't see the point!
Seriously, I think this is a real reflection of how people do things in real life right now, they just want to stick to job, buy food and the rest is too much / uncreative as any willpower -
Having AI or machine to chat to is not far off the destination ... some feel-good thing is what people want to replace (not with human by machine as we see in all levels of life). That is about right as the "Hi-Bye" attitude increases between people and then saying "oh isn't it terrible this happens or look at that they are doing (and what we are not doing).
It's "too much" to deal with or try saying people to try... try investing in building relationships. I understand it is wanting to be avoided (as closed doors act as defence also) but all is being lost and EXTERNALIZED by people that way. Community reduced and looking after people with it.
Like the other things in their life,
it's for someone else to do.
So not surprising and not only companies to blame. PEOPLE themselves (even on Fediverse) feed that very short-range circular don't-both-me (even if you're my fan) thing and aesthetic FROM their real life equivalent because they don't want it / they've lost the reasoning why... shelled up...
Contact pages on websites and then suspicion when you do contact them. Smiling faces, short-text as practice.
And as for Tech (in short, forgive me):
"People like their computers and devices more than people"
So more than me or you they rather program or have what doesn't talk back unless it's in a way they want..
No finding of reasons build with me (or help build me as a person) - lost the whole growing one's self thing - quite immature still and staying stagnant as the world encroaches on people like that.
Perhaps almost all people doing that "For The Way" is too much but it can solve almost anything for those that want to choose 'something else' more that devices and BigTech to fund / propel our lives.
Reality is we can do it because we already are (alone) and like a lot of stuff and even can tap into new randomly also. But that's too much like going to a new type gym and new as muscle set...
Regularly people choose nothing / I'm ok jack / why help you / me / 'the world' incrementally.
In my experience trying I can detail and say why but I'll try keep it short... (I probably said it all)
So long-story short, not many want to fix it or most anything ...
who wants to follow the ball of string to find why or grow people which we could have done anytime we chose but anyway nobody to talk to even about that LOL!
The Will / Perseverance is so scarce...
So if you too have anything more than just reaction here as the same kind of short ways online, let me know both of you.
Your lack of answer might also be a good indicator.

money and urgent-only people - not social
It's that kind of money or urgent-only that is socially horrible for building anything -
I think I still try every day because it's the only real way humans are going to get out of every problem by practicing more than monetary transactions and crisis-only management (same thing predictably and even encouraging more of it) even when there is a a buttons a few steps to which switch the water off they keep bailing out only for more water to come it.
Just to slow down their processes for trouble-shooting to be allowed into the process circle is enough. It can also be a 'thinking outside the box' thing which state puts the perception of when most of it theory or low-level threats to train animals into things they can't do things...
better processes and circles of habits please 🔁 or just ask me if stuck...

@trwnh YOU GOT THIS SPOT ON... "Don't lose this thought"
That is what comes to mind as this whole things is missing the point of social which I feel is literally because of these things mostly:
1/ People don't see 'system' as doing effort themselves or it's used as a one size fits all thing to work for them.
It's not obvious or there is no 'protocol' to grow 'people' or socially - like how to relationships <--- this is the hard part for people, they might need an actual protocol to say "people use nicknames, it's ok, they are not 'spammers' by default, you can check their account, you can interact with them as 99% are a billion miles away etc!
2/ People are losing the skill to build relationships - 3 comments and it fizzles or even worse it's like your heckling or abusing them... people find negatives more than just to stick to the good - almost generations of well-trained TV watchers... they have no overall idea or quest... no offense but I have the experiences as my whole profile has been about finding people and people finding me but anyway I even listed the reasons before (such saying "I don't have time" but not willing as the reality / not able to test or try or see the point of... mostly people are either comfortable (even in a bad way not to come out of it despite saying), have fake/isolated quests, stick to job mostly (which is state regulated so never going to be rebellious) and almost subservient to whatever state "system" aggression / passive aggression) ... generally uncreative as social contact is concerned...
Anyway so maybe I think according to them or me people should accordingly do better but small circles going nowhere basically is not helping anything - mine or their hobbies or fan-club building.,,,
So without moaning ( or showing as reasons! ☑️ ) it's also a reflection of people in real life or not and what they already don't do AND don't do.
They don't know how to make friends or have passions to push them past the post - unless "system" to tell them like algorithms - it's almost like they need pressure to save the world:
like "talk more / give more love to 3 people or else you account gets frozen and you have to pay to unfreeze it".
It's that kind of money or urgent-only behaviour that people react to... horrible.
SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH (IF HAD ENOUGH) AND GO TO LAST PARAGRAPH...
Even with websites people ask me why I contact them from their contact page, when I say I like xyz and their website even say "don't hesitate to contact me" - basically not do more past aesthetics and even going the distance more often with strangers to see what it is (usually just fans which almost people can't handle and do something better with). Such a shame...
So barring a "system" forcing or encouraging people (using ads or algo's) then I'm not sure how to re-train people....
As extra evidence and almost digging into the pattern I believe my life is proof of, it's much like the Christian's (or any religion) who just go once in a blue moon or even on Sunday's only and don't look past this as a way of life (which should be spreading "His Love" or not selling body / soul or whatever level they choose... it's like an empty label or description also for experts here (almost all I've contacted) who are one-way or just not spiraling / harnessing even like-minded people... Not sure what it is but being strong inside and willing to try almost everyone is part of it to get there even at a slow pace rather than almost running backwards bumping into things / scared of their own existence !
So a long post you see - Sorry if a bit longer than expected but things nothing done about don't work.
Often regularly what people don't understand and leave for others as problems get longer and worse and as layers are added to make it even more unclear or emotional for them (low acceptance of different people). Human advancement of (of any kind) even at 0.1% increments is hardly there)... !
My answer to all this is T-group / circle training to put some more of this back in - much like couple who pay people a high amount just to listen and say nothing - that's have far society of individuals are...
I #quote myself
"It's that kind of money or urgent-only even that people react to... and it's socially horrible even though I try every day."
Hope I haven't got you wrong on this... but the paradigm I think I've described for you and could go into a "don't fall into this trap" kind of manifesto / good users guide lol!

❗ Answer (in short) you can't take your data with you ! ❗
i am personally more in favor of a "social Web" than a "social network".
what i want to do is make it easier for anyone to make a website, and to manage that website.
i want those websites to be able to link to each other in well-defined and clearly-understood ways.
i want to make friends and express myself to the fullest, in varying contexts on various websites, without context collapse.
but it feels like #fediverse is more interested in replicating the "social network" paradigm.

Microsoft #Teams is actually pretty good as a team/channel/chat #collaborative tool..
Great... so long as you don't want to get anything *from* Teams to *outside* of Teams. Its like they intentionally went out of their way to lock everything IN, let nothing out. there is no export, no "save chat", no "send this chat to <list of apps>". You can #export a *single* msg to Outlook. That's it.
The only way that doesn't require a $tool or result in copy+paste or print2pdf hot garbage, is via Snip.
@grrrr_shark @mhoye OWNERSHIP OF PEOPLE BY STATE?
Hmm this is a good point, often it's only a "choice" only when allowed a choice (like both options are good for state gov's) otherwise you must do what empire says when it comes down to it with penalties and it's ever advancing rules like fencing animals to say 'this' is your options as a one-size fits way of 'system' and doing it's way with people as finely detailed as possible
(State's perspective is perhaps that it owns people when they are born into and when comes down to it for anything serious?).... that's scary !
HMM... birth 'certificate'...
property 'certificate',
shares/bonds ...
ownership of land certificate...
@mhoye
EXPLAINING / MEASURING DIGNITY ? (SOMEWHAT)
I think or feel like it's also about measuring that somehow but the kind of 'measuring' without falling into the trap of objectifying it and more like how you said the dignity side which is something totally abstract to most people above a a certain depth so when put into words and paper it might be more than that (also might be ignored but something you can refer to or wave people at and say "what about fulfilling dignity" or something like that)
The word privacy is a bit like "shelter, food for all" or "saving a life" but no way power to that other than words - so in the lower components as 'dignity' might be it seems good to define and NOT just the rule-makers crappy definition or 'one-size fit's all' thing they can defer or gloss over)...
So if you have a way to make that more of a substance ESPECIALLY for those that don't genuinely understand or even "feel" or "have sympathy" because I think steady people don't feel or understand GENUINELY or because of layers (and yes ignore if rules don't tell them to do something)
So then something of an object (or whatever I'm trying to explain here without objectifying it) is really important it feels so it's not just one sided "feeling" and other "not feeling / dismissing because they can't feel or have definition)...
know what I mean?
I think you made a good start and it even be literally be copied and pasted into separate lines, and added to by others to see what it builds... as a subset to something often unsaid...
Let me know what you think, thanks
Your privacy is not a thing in and of itself, that you either have or don't. Privacy is your ability, and capacity, to choose for yourself what you share about yourself, and when, and with who. And the other word we have for that is "dignity".
Privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.
"A private social network" only makes sense in through this lens, of people wanting a social environment where they have agency over what they share, when, and with who.
It's a reasonable thing to want.
@meowViewer No probs and thanks for reply.
Hope the error message helps to see what it is...
My archive is
~1.5gb with some media incl;
- pics + mp4 that this server allows bigger more than others - not sure if that would break anything
Would be ok if it skipped anything and said the names at the end and I can extract it from archive after manually,
~9K posts total...
💡 As a test idea for you or user, there could be "ONLY posts and pics" checkbox to see if that works for people...and then they could try fully without filer with other formats and types to see if that is where error might be happening... 💡

1/ Anyone have a guess what error means?...
2/ Anyone have a smaller post archive with only a few posts in backup export file that I can use just for testing this tool?
(like if you are a new user can you export your data and DM me a link to safe upload site like dragging the file to the drop box style thing here: https://bin.dembased.xyz/)

Working together as the answer if you want human change (not just tech).
#Quotes #Notes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites are added here from the Human-caring #Fediverse posts towards a better example of ourselves and what we could do in the principles and love for things we share.
Towards Togetherness.
History hasn't always done well among the people to work together and usually falls into working for cruel leaders instead. So let's just building whatever we can more without them.
Perhaps building friendship or love at the end can win it for us all.
Making our own relationship with life rather than time hating Trump / Bezos / Musk and spreading news of their actions that self-perpetuate hate.
Quick Links to my best work below:
- Media / Memes 🖼️ : https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
- 💬 Chat / Conversations : https://qoto.org/@freeschool/with_replies
"FreeSchool" is a movement from 1960s/1970s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Learning via interaction means there is always risk by the way. By not building trust or working on mutually worknig together inaction happens and lack of friendship also allows bad people... so I see us as doing the work more daily or as the good homework we need to do (nobody else can do it properly without us).
MORE DETAIL BELOW IF NEEDED...
BUILD YOURSELF AND ME (DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHOLE WORLD)...
All aims should be towards working together more personally instead of hating, because most of the hating is free advertising and spreading fear for them ("Bad news is still good advertising)
This means less spreading Trumps, Musk, Bezos names and plans, and more our thing.
Humans change Humans - we the caring people reason better as we have a caring soul and a conscience. We also need to test and repair those that can't. Tech does not care and has it's limits at best which I think we have akready reached and in danger of leaving people behind over-doing I.T.
========================================
Do you have work for me or any ideas / dreams of your own?
========================================
Going towards growing better decision-making humans as a main goal or my interpreration (human-educated examples helping others help others) and not just tech filters of progression / aggression / profit.
Tech has measurably been over-done and had it's limits being backed by BigTech and State-orientatedand heavily regulated infrastructures. This ultimately undoes this and is are not human-caring and just money / profit-orientated the same as the state and companies are.
All $tates use bank$ that cheat everyone else behind their back.
Every $tate let's this happen to keep unfair power over people and keep them down.
I have DIY education more than any Massive Tech-based $haring. We have enough small solutions. We just need to do the human homework together which is what almost nobody is doing and it shows! We canNOT just do tech, we can maintain some tech but then grow the user's interests and direction using caring people and releasing their potential and curating ourselves... Since the mentlaity of people (users) are the weak point of all systems (who are happy to abuse them / add adverts etc) so it means working on ourselves is the best now we have mostly everything else worked on to catch up on the mentality and also realise all the tricks historically.
☼ Free work if you can justify it +
#Friendship (it's for humanity and world too to grow friendship). I edit basic text, audio, video for free to grow the idea of Freedom or not just banks and money made to give us crutches after they break our legs / eat our time and money (energy).
