"...I worked at a VC funded startup and they let it go for two years with no interest in us making revenue. I was told by the founder this was common and gives VCs more leverage later. If you've created something good then you'll need more money to stay in business and they get more equity for continued funding because you're desperate. And if you're mediocre you're never going to be a great exit so they cut their losses and move on."

@jawarajabbi Aren't "grants" another kind of "free money" which is from a usually non-caring States that simply want to find out all the info and what they take advantage of from it and your research ?
You mentioned "philanthropic organizations" that would be help better than my description of a grant - but can you name some philanthropic organizations ? ❓
Grant doesn't seem like a good free lunch either they really do give it almost blindly / without terms and conditions (?)... that's why I'd like an example.
Who doesn't want something back like any Vampire Empire which is like the Venture Capitalist / Vulture Capitalism people talk about (in fact the head Vulture being state so not much better)..

Or just Vanilla #Capitalism as #Grants / paid research and development for the next dirty work from your ideas...
#philanthropy organizations ?
@conniptions @Gargron VC is either Vulture Capital, or if you're an old Goldman-Sachs fan, Vampire Capital.
@loveenergy@mastodon.social @Gargron Ok I'm listening.., can you tell me more about your offer to Gargron and how it would work out for the good?

@medlab Is there a download for this?
@ntnsndr I'm looking at the preview pdf now - if possible stay in touch also because the contact reminds me to continue finding out more about it... I'm interested in many things - often what others are doing to help support them - need help / have a wish-list for an energetic person to do?
#communities and our world and work spaces (people as the work)... #PEER SUPPORT
@ntnsndr #BeauifulSolutions #BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF IDEAS FOR CHANGING our #communities and our world.
"...so many examples all around us that give us hope and show us what is possible, many of which are already happening. Look around. Can you find a credit union? A food cooperative? A
community garden? What about a mutual aid project?
...
When they are connected to each other and given the resources they need to grow, the solutions that already exist in our #communities community can be the starting point for collective transformation.
The #exittocommunity of @opencollective to a user-governed nonprofit is big news for those of us who rely on it, including #Socialcoop members.
@blogdiva @hannu_ikonen@zeroes.ca
Peer Support as a thing is described by @violetmadder's post here: https://kolektiva.social/@violetmadder/110749773905305591
And I think we could as small circle do this more often than Trump or anything else (we could include it in our life but mainly help each other do our own dreams, together)....
What do you all think?
"...hinting seems to me, often, to just be a way to get people to do things without actually taking responsibility for having told them to 🤷♀️"

Lack of sleep is the root of many problems 🛌 💤 ...
Lots of further domino effects happen relative to sleep you've had...
When tired it is natural to:
- over-feed
- see and hear things while asleep
- react differently
- skip things you shouldn't
Overall lack of sleep is related to a domino of extra effects... over-consumption included.

Yes.
Weak Users= Weak everything else.
Can we make user to care? May be yes through education.

@amiya_rbehera Is her twitter consistently good / what good excerpts have you taken or have any examples?

@blogdiva Many good points (which I also re-posted parts of as quotes or boosted in whole) but also I'm wondering if Peer Support / doing something similar interests your towards a kind of long-way-round to getting everything everywhere, doing our own thing rather than feeding only bad games (almost create our own but also support it as circle /almost therapy but practical offers/needs also...
Though I'd shoot you that idea as a 'kind of' solution now you have a lot of the bad stuff laid out... All is probably needed to work around and go directly to the hearts of all problems... (people)...
Thanks, appreciate your reply on that.

"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). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
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.
