Money forces a certain perspective and this is like a wedge between people which we need to minimise and snap out of to see more of an overview or meta perspective of the system and transition slowly (with a bit of money) to something with less man-in-the-middle attacks / less over-taxing / less greed and banks... literally!

(they are towards profit or causing6 loss (profit for soneone else) and everyone can't profit.... and they don't want to share even if they had the money...

anyway it's not a moral tool since banks dont care abiut people or morals or ethics only and mostly are about finding a body /host for lending people more debt eventually for wars that they fund / loan the states etc etc )

phrase: "Cut off the nose to spite the face"

It takes skill basically to balance things and feelings γ€Š--- a needed evolution else it is war (diluted or direct)

I believe people have different ability so therefore as long as in good faith (not taking the puss) then different people can do different things in various longevity or strength (like different animals and different personality)

Important is to see the personality also as most systems see you as body only/mostly and try to fit you into a matrix of repetition when different people like it differently... but hey try telling a machine with rigid design to customise itself to the human using it! It can't unless the managers of machines relax and don't expect people to keep up with the machine!

Reflection about Humanity
(My Experience)

Nobody* likes to see another person get a free lunch (even if there isn't much to do in life or free food around)

* maybe I'm wrong and you wouldn't mind working to do what you love to do already while someone else eats for free / just lives

Fascism and control comes a lot from people paid by state

(What do you think / is it quite true as a common component to fascism/hierarchical authoritarianism?)

So people paid by the state like police people are in some forms paid to do the states bidding and wants for it's apathetic point of view(s)... and even those employed in a "company" to similar degree perhaps less obvious or directly are still also regulated and enabeled by state... ultimately "allowed" to do things for it else it's phased out of design or hit over the head

think of the companies you have worked for as perhaps a mini-state or extention of state almost exactly

Systems without soul(s) suck

Any system without people in mind actively is a bad system

(true / false for you?)

(In the sense to not only respect individuality and not ignore it but to integrate and help interact with it to even change/allow things more and more. To grow with people)

TWITTER NEWS 2021 - CEO CHANGE

JACK DORSEY (meanwhile to PARAG AGRAWAL CTO (maybe to ELON MUSK in 202X?)

Jack Dorsey Leaving Twitter to Work Full Time on Bitcoin

And some good commentary about at least working towards freedom (not helping censorship)... like YouTube also

Shows tweets shown from
-Nic Carter and Glenn Greenwald (Edward Snowden leaks),

Mentions then-President Trump being booted off Twitter! Not the president surely!

Generally good comments from this episode, really if you don't like Bitcoin makes sense as it largely doesn't need you to like Bitcoin, just see the Banks etc as not making sense and Bad!

MASTODON SUGGESTION
- JUMP TO 1ST MESSAGE BUTTON OR LINK?

(OR SOMETHING BETTER THAN NOTHING!)

Ah I did enjoy the ?min_id=0

but more than that seems we are missing features like pagination or numbered pages... or something to go to beginning of people's posts.... :(

which this change only highlights (click post, but in general the URL haD parameters that allowed jumping to first post on any profile!)...

URL parameters are cool (probably have downsides but not sure compared to how many happy users... now wondering if there is something that can relpace it.... ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Update: Now even user profile pages on #Mastodon don't display the old version. That means using ?min_id=1 doesn't work anymore. You are now limited to specialized Mastodon clients to collect older posts, or you can view my post below where I collected some of those posts:

mstdn.starnix.network/@james/1

With this change, any URL that started with /web/ after the domain has now removed the /web/ prefix. Settings and other options have still remained the same.

Now, user profile pages and posts are using their original URLs when logged out. However, remote follows and replies suggest copying the URL into the search bar of your instance, instead of a popout to enter your instance.

P.S. If you view a remote post or profile on an instance, refreshing (or sharing the link) will redirect to the other instance's post, as used in these examples below:
mastodon.social/@james@mstdn.s
mastodon.social/@james@mstdn.s

What are some risks of embedding technology into social protection projects?

❌ Exclusion: data inaccuracy, fear of surveillance & digital literacy issues can lead to exclusion for the most vulnerable members of our communities.

GAMES CHEATING!
...UNFAIR CPU AND ALGORITHMS

NO WONDER CAPITALISM COPIED WHAT LOOKS FAIR BUT ISN'T! CHECK THIS VIDEO FROM BACK IN 90'S STILL SEEN IN THE EMULATED VERSION TODAY!

Guile from SF2 needs about 2 seconds to charge down to do this FLASHKICK move (so walking back or while standing can't happen unless *maybe* in a combo or 'charging' the move in some other way- standing up or walking back cancels the charge.. at least for human players!!!!!! )

Hard to catch cheats, that's why you need to see the code... Anyone got the Street Fighter code?

UNFAIR CPU and ALGORITHMS
also link to fairness, censorship, privacy...

The only fix for fascism is an acknowledgement of one's ignorance. People who refuse to do this will never demand systems more open & accountable to the public interest, while they simultaneously justify an opposition who thinks itself superior & beyond reproach. #LiberalValues
