Your taxes are funding #genocide. (sticker on a street sign) BUT...

...you can get it together more personally online here on the Fediverse, and then keep the intention you want open (even while you're working) and keep eye on someone or something specific while asking occasionally...

(definitely just paying for people to go to #war more easily isn't the way)

PeerTube - Keep it basic / Go back to basics!

We need sites that are pure function covering as many old browsers as possible.

I'm using Mypal 68 which is not that bad and "old" shouldn't be used against surfers so often...
http://www.mypal-browser.org/download.html 32bit version....

Either it doesn't show videos or doesn't play. I think major changes hurt a lot more or expect people to keep up when clearly they are conscious or retro people more often then mainstream...

I think it would be great if I and others can really simple forever things... like you can still play an mp3 file...

Otherwise many people don't use Peertube - simple as that!!

CC0 is important (accept nothing less) not get into legal problems / support real givers

And remember those people who give their stuff attribution-free - credit them or their material... as you might your own... :)

Giving opportunity to others to give to you- by not giving in...

By not giving in, or keeping more what is ideal. you allow others to try provide for you what was is usually taken away (choice or paying more than understanding) or replaced artificially (computers) and you find another way (a test for yourself too to live the way you want or looking for - though I don't mean dump computers always or live in the jungle- pick and choose)

It will always be a bit left and right trial and error and can reach a bit of a breaking point but done slowly (talking) and managed slowly (if possible) I think people and yourself can see you're no just being problematic and actually help / be more sympathetic since you're spending time on it with then.

To get people seeing you're not being manipulative or sucking from people, you're just trying to living more naturally / humanly

And even bending the tree of justice back towards centre by balancing personally the cold system designed by 'who knows who?' and 'way back when?' !)

TikTok leaks data and usage...

Lawmakers urge Biden administration to ban TikTok parent company by Julia Shapero (The Hill news)-

02/09/24

The icon is for the video sharing TikTok app as seen on a smartphone,

Feb. 28, 2023, in Marple Township, Pa. TikTok has restricted one tool researchers use to analyze popular videos, a move that follows a barrage of criticism directed at the social media platform about content related to the Israel-Hamas war and a study that questioned whether the company was suppressing topics that don’t align with the interests of the Chinese government.

More than a dozen lawmakers called on the Department of Commerce on Thursday to add ByteDance, the Beijing-based parent company of TikTok, to its export control list in order to “address critical vulnerabilities created by the company’s access to U.S. software.”

The group, led by Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), expressed concerns about the security of U.S. user data on TikTok, as well as the relationship between ByteDance and the Chinese government.

“TikTok provides the [Chinese Communist Party] with the ability to weaponize the platform by suppressing, magnifying, and otherwise constructing narratives to target specific audiences abroad,” the lawmakers said in a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

“Applications from ByteDance are an accessory to the soft power and propaganda of the CCP, and we must mitigate the role of software access in facilitating this capability,” they added.

The lawmakers urged Raimondo to add ByteDance to the Bureau of Industry Security’s Entity List. The export of goods, software and technology to companies on the list are restricted.

“This step would be instrumental in applying licensing restrictions to the export of software from the U.S. to ByteDance for its applications,” they said.

“If American users are not able to upgrade their app with software updates, which involves the export of U.S. software, then the operability of the applications of concern will be weakened,” the lawmakers added.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, who appeared before Congress last week alongside four other tech CEOs to testify about children’s safety online, emphasized that TikTok has not shared user data with the Chinese government.

He also pointed to the social media company’s initiative known as Project Texas, which aims to wall off U.S. user data from the rest of the company.

However, lawmakers have expressed doubts about Project Texas, particularly after the Wall Street Journal reported last week that employees have sometimes been directed to share data with other parts of TikTok and ByteDance.

“Not only does this letter misrepresent the facts and the law, it also ignores the industry leading work we’ve done to safeguard protected U.S. user data,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement. “We’ve engaged in good faith with Congress and relevant agencies through the [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] process for over four years and continue to do so.”

"In a very real sense, we are all aliens on a strange planet. We spend most of our lives trying to reach out and communicate..."

( and maybe you too? )
Boost if yes! 🚀 🚀

I usually work with direct messages for more personal message so it's not always said publicly, so here's a public compliment just to have one out there... and there have been deeper over the years but still one for the memory :)

" I do like your mission overall: education is always good and we need more ways of delivering it, both to as many people as possible (millions to billions), and, for as cheaply per student as possible -- imo"
- synlogic @synlogic

FreeSchool appreciats the compliment 😃

And it's nice when someone says it well ! Being a cheap teacher or always available I think is a real tactic to basically doing what people could almost do themselves and with a bit of courage or even the wrong answer get them going and even witness their life for them!...

ℹ️ I've been doing the one-by-one / p2p / 1-to-many approach for years, for those that can trust a bit and really want to get there to the other side of things... we're all wonderful 🌠

Sometimes I feel like I'm over-trying to get the attention of the bourgeoisie, but I really don't what else or who else will help win this war from middle outwards to the upper class and lower class almost like a regrowth of bacteria injected in the middle... (mostly intelligence growth from financial Petri dish)

So the lower class can't do much but work / sleep and upper class won't want to give up power...

but middle class / comfy bourgeoisie (who are terribly nice people) are also a mixture of both /sometimes/ 🤕

🖥️ Computing in 2024 alone has caused so much waste (bloat) and suffering (energy/planet).

👬 Maybe it's about time we look at working on people together at the same time a lot more and going for happiness in that way with the least basic but existing working tech. ✊

Since people are ultimately needing to be perfected (improved) and are faulty / not there yet now, then using the most basic structure and real human transmission per byte (Fediverse / Jitsi) I think is better to solve and organise ourselves.

A lot more deliberate human interaction than jumping into bigger things (which some will exist anyway and ok) which people totally don't understand.

Computing in 2024 alone has caused so much waste and suffering. Maybe it's about time we look at people at lot more.

I'm not against everything else but ask yourself a question:

❓ Does whatever I'm looking at now tick the human 'box' for caring ? ☑️ ?

Or improve real communication between humans? 🤔
