#QOTO is still without the said 'in a few days' changes - said so many times - so as a small elbow nudge / tongue-in-cheek thing to make fun of reality about this ongoing brokeness - click this message @freemo to see the other message from Greta about human and systemic change...

And how QOTO might need to the same with it's system AND it's 'people work' to upgrade them BOTH!

hehe... the broken #system, broken #people... ah heal them all...

Greta hashtag also has some good stuff...

Everything takes time - It can feel "extra" to do, but if it really saves time or reduces / simplifies then more work or care now can help you avoid or process better the many 'extra' things later that you end up doing less organised or without collecting them properly over time (like a to do list that you keep visible somewhere or some thoughts that you need to revisit constantly to help you solve things).

YES Questions take a long time to answer!

Most people have a lot of questions but don't expect the answer to take forever to answer or continual work, and some things do take forever and continual work to answer... as it's together thing... #Human #Friendship #Love

Time and Heart is the need also...

"You invite money, you relinquish control. the money stops the moment you don't fall in line even with crowdfunding" ❓
💬 said by anime graf mays)

That does seem true about money and seems towards my level of "purism" (if I can call it that)

...but I don't have an answer for going without money usage other than at some point money is used & needed and to head towards not using it....

...so maybe I'd stay at the "at home" level of #computing to make sure of that since we all have that (like a #p2p version of Mastodon just for some imagination and example) but then I'm not sure what else can be bigger + 24/7 running and care / minimise without big money and #BIGtech (Mastodon runs on Amazon S3 mostly everywhere). Trying mostly just with home-tech and software as the setup?... might be 'for the way' with #climate being eaten (by us) and polluted (by USA mostly)...

Money here is the problem too but also that people DON'T understand a lot about how it's stealing / diminishing instantly and over time... but even without making this about money STILL ANTI-google/youtube people are posting google / youtube links for example here which is CHA-CHING for them for millions of links per day... so this shows people are lazy or fall into back into bad habits (or not using filtered links through something open-source like Invidious which obviously hurt them as they changed it to ruin filters sites - this is a good sign and shows hurting them at the "money" level is a real winner)

So we're born into the 'money' scam / scheme / system (in English also means way of swindle) and we can't get out to a certain extent without eliminating ourselves from purely needing that consumption even to eat or do transactions (which ever transaction is taxed further reducing effectiveness of money / displace it)....

THE REST BELOW IS AN
ANSWER TO 'WHAT IS MONEY?'

...and if you think you know all this then read it and tell me you knew all this and can live life easily and knowingly without doing something about money itself as the main problem (for all things, Mastodon and all life)...

===================
SO WHAT IS MONEY?
(ACCORDING TO ME AND YOU?)
===================

FOR ME "MONEY" IS... a deflationary medium, deliberately reducing it's worth over time to undermine to steal back value back to banks and cheat people out of their energy and savings while seemingly providing life but overall much less than you think and even entering MINUS / NEGATIVE NUMBERS / EQUATIONS (and therefore life similarly negative)

Money it also psychologically accumulated ignorance (and very hard to follow) but 'easy' to use making the medium used by the many who use it but don't understand it - and can't see or accept other people are paying for money as loans / fees / etc which actually dilutes their own " #money " and reduces overall "money" if if they never took a loan!. All loans allow more debt than anything else positive as banks re-loan with false power (can loan 9 or 10x your savings)

So society accrues a false sense of security while almost everyone is losing like a bag of sand with a hole you can't really see but leaks even more when you move it (or another analogy like bucket with hole).

Which is also why people have to work endlessly... like a leak in your society's bucket... and it's mainly called a " #bank " 🏦

Anime, I guess you aren't for money but would like to ask if you could image small-scale / at-home stuff working (so maybe no remote server / no Amazon S3 / no Cloud in between ?) ❓

"Looking at how much of a shithole X has become, and how it just keeps getting worse, is proof in the pudding. It's hard to be profitable in that space, and trying to be profitable just deepens said shithole."

"...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)..

#VampireEmpire ? 🧛 💉 🩸

Or just Vanilla #Capitalism as #Grants / paid research and development for the next dirty work from your ideas...

#philanthropy organizations ?

@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?
