Improve People AND Tech? @freeschool@qoto.org

Careful - saying the alternatives on CS can get you suspended / banned so if you want to stay on keep quiet ! (yes Freedom of speech is limited on CS so try couchers (free for life) or something else instead before they ban you too)

Words betray us. (Primitive Language Usage). Is this what we still use mainly?

Like a tool that was intended to only do certain things initially (list below) language was a more limited list of words previously that is still the main core of society I believe. At least the more important and most understandable.
Government don't really need the things language has built upon (or things like emotional intelligence or it's vocabulary) unless it's further to trick / trap people (legalese, terms and conditions, double speak etc as further tools/practical layers FOR THEM).

(imagine the prehistoric version of command and conquer / the set of words below)

go
get
bring me
go away
go now
you must
pay now, etc
sign here

Maybe not much has changed and modern day SEEMS more advanced but basically that is just the aesthetic level on top of the primary ARMY level of model, of soldiers and hierarchy running things.

Basics command-line code to commanding people is another way to see it, from ROYALTY-style positions sending commands out and enforcing CLASSISM as the main kind of 'programming' language (BASIC) as you can see quite evident by how the arts are more higher levels of language are constantly uninvested / unvalued / unfunded / uncared for inside the more materialism of #war and machines / materialism for profit (GO FETCH, LIFT, TAKE, DO, I'M YOUR BOSS, NOW DO THIS, TELL HIM TO DO THAT, PROGRAM THIS ETC)

Interesting to look at it that way no? And reality perhaps... What do you think?

@douglasvb #Couchsurfing I see still works

People did migrate to things like #couchers (see list below )

#surfhosting is like #selfhosting our own services too! (host or surf / feels like both sometimes! ) for peer-to-peer stuff, in-house brain sharing / seeding for the mind and doing stuff together !

Like torrenting people!

Why do it if there is no money in it?

(the worst question or worst way to answer things)

#Tax #Economy #War
= #Governments #Banks #Tech etc etc

Else let me know what you develop towards peace and understanding.

A love system - who would join that? https://qoto.org/@freeschool/110949550185613050)

ALL #MONEY IS CONTRIBUTING TO WAR.

BANKS ARE FUNDING #WAR
YOU ARE FUNDING #BANKS.

YOU DO VERY #little THAN THAT.

#Tax #Economy #War = #Governments #Banks #Tech etc etc

Tax and Bank fees/ arbitrary % being foremost one of the first things that doesn't give back, just increases debt & violence through others.
All the money. Where does it go I wonder while helicopters and planes fly over you head in almost any country.

And especially if you and others are not looking to work with anyone else apart from above list of people / gangsters / 'leaders' ????

They say exactly the same as you do "If money is not it we are not doing it!"... "why do it if there is no money in it?"

Actually pretty sure all follow this system.

Else let me know what you develop towards peace and understanding.

Not like a love system is being developed is it or that you would join that? https://qoto.org/@freeschool/110949550185613050)

What you think this life is about, other than war mainly?

ALL MONEY IS CONTRIBUTING TO WAR.

BANKS ARE FUNDING WAR
YOU ARE FUNDING BANKS.

Actually pretty sure all follow this system.

(IF money is used for war mainly or on some level economically to run our own culture or influences others, THEN money is very much war)

"...Putin has put himself in a place he cannot escape from. It was never meant to be like this. But it is and he’s set his course. Will anyone risk stopping him inside Russia?"

- TheOldGuy #QUOTE

RUSSIA ‘STUCK’ IN A #WAR ECONOMY? by @TheOldGuy
https://qoto.org

( "A constant state of war means permanent stability..." could be said of any country raging #economic war or wanting to get bigger in similar ways, which one wouldn't given the chance? )

#Tax #Economy #War #Governments #Banks #Tech etc etc

It's like countries and governments saying to themselves "If is not war and money not in it for us we are not doing it!"

Actually pretty sure all of them say that... Not like a love system is being developed is it? (lol, but do see my profile for examples like: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/110949550185613050)

======> INTRO:
@freemo + others - I thought I'd write you just to keep in touch and also to bring some considerations - some is 'why it doesn't work' here but not all totally related to QOTO but maybe if learning without action is happening this is not ideal / too limited as acronym might infer / try for in question / teaching and more...

So perhaps some considerations to why I think it should be more (which depends if you are working towards freedom) or can simply see all ways are my way and yours if we are to get to something better all round. Or do you not want that? (also good to ask).

I think I'm lucky enough to have an admin that cares (yourself) but who knows how prepared we are to take it to X level which I think we need so it's not just writing and occasionally boosting...

======> LIST
So here's the list starting with █ for each (these are measurables, in no order but all important to me which I'd appreciate reply):

█- Leadership to involve us all on QOTO - I think you need something, at least podcast or shaping future together somehow measurably to act against / for things freedom-loving or however it's framed...

█- You wanted to do some audio between us but only live talk (which my internet speed can't do) so would have helped me to do a offline audio ping pong which is also good for pre-meditated themes and editing. This is not a really bad thing but stopped the audio happening clearly because I'm currently using minimal system + enjoying low-cost modem-speed internet which can't do too much live. So re-consider this at least as a test since you were ok with live which is fairly the same once we're rolling and do 5min audio ping pongs.

█- I'm not sure of your aims...
I thought I was

█- See you're getting in to AI is a big flag for me (and danger in general) and while I like / trust you - too clever friends will obviously land friends possibly in trouble or there is a fear there in who I perceive to help (even if it's before helping or if you 'don't really need me').

So I'm going for freedom which I see as enabled by all those that include themselves... and well I don't know if I should try include or label you in freedom but who knows if this server will help me get there basically... so I've had feelings of leaving (again just saying but hope you can say something) and right now I'm not sure what there is for me...

█- Maintenance mode on QOTO for a long time has perhaps magnified these comment BUT perhaps that is a good thing as plodding along is also not good and need more response / participation / heat back from those going for / searching for same/similar things, which I question as users and eventually admin leading / not leading them (though I appreciate the free being here being a chore but not having will at least for me is just limited for me).

Maintenance seems to be going on and for extended times then you've said and continues.

█-Mastodon can't import back in another profile (so we're locked in) unless a tool exist to make posts in another form... which I'm kind of finding people that can help partially on that... but no import to another Mastodon is bad (maybe offline self-instance or 1 user instance might work to copy outbox.JSON file)

█- Threads / Meta and all that is basically also part of my consideration so not just QOTO or directed at you... because I think we need a ANTI-Meta invasion mechanism or way because whatever we do can be flipped in their favour in the end (such as taking over / scraping too easily without us writing disclaimers or legal footers asking them not to at least).

█❓█ So one question is if you can add ANTI-Meta disclaimer to interface saying:

"USERS DO NOT CONSENT TO SCRAPING DATA BY ANYONE UNLESS USERS MENTION IT'S WANTED IN THEIR PROFILE"

FREEMO + PEOPLE, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF POINTS, THANKS

@QOTO / #QOTO INCLUDED HERE TO DISTRIBUTE WEIGHT OF TOPICS AND REPLY WITH OTHERS SO IT'S NOT JUST FREEMO (but if it is just freemo then this might prove my point he's alone / limited in endeavours I'm looking at)

==================

P.S - NOT TO DISTRACT - BUT

=====> A similar video/audio version of my text is with the link below, to do with building things and refers to revolution or change a lot, is here which is very similar to what I'm saying about participation and structure even without 'my' levels of revolution but something for all of us on QOTO more than just posting/boosting mostly:

https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=VVAA0wIqM0w

Globally planned, regionally organized and locally executed, planetary actions.

Comment added to a good video:

What Does a 21st Century Revolution Look Like?

(This Invidious link pre-filters the same YouTube video but gives you 0 adverts and strips out the bad code that is usually from YouTube,com or YouTu.be links!)

Doing 'nothing' can work because nothing is better than all the traps that other people set for others in 'civilisation' / the concrete jungle.

So sitting at home and avoiding traps now has MORE VALUE even if I would like you to do something with me or good people - it's a bad roulette game in the city mostly.

#Do #Nothing ( do less?... yes it sometimes works in #Life )

If you think life is pointless or futile then this view contribute to that outcome - simply because you're not participating in anything otherwise to that.

(i.e. not doing much to make it better or something different can often be a compound-effect though I do give more and more credit to doing 'nothing' because nothing is better than all the traps other people set so sitting at home and avoiding traps now has MORE VALUE even if I would like you to do something with me or good people.

It's a roulette game perhaps in your mind to find such people.

#Tips to #Do #Nothing ( do less?... yes it sometimes works in #Life )

#Mastodon If your system or it's users don't have an "anti-Meta invasion mechanism" then you might be building them the next pay-gate platform.

"We don't have time"
and
"We don't make time" / "Don't want to make time"...

...are 2 different things

A lot of stress comes from just paying the mortgage (a payment on a house already paid many times over and over by different people and pure profit)

Plus house prices skyrocket 🚀 occasionally just to make ita;; even more pointless and stressful.

Programming Is Mostly Thinking

http://agileotter.blogspot.com/2014/09/programming-is-mostly-thinking.html

Programming is 11/12ths Thinking

What is really happening? You see the fingers flying over the keyboard; you don't see the hours spent in talking to users, discussing the problems with coworkers, doing research and thinking the problems through.Really good developers do 90% or more of the work before they ever touch the keyboard; really understanding the requirements and devising an appropriate solution.Code is just the residue of the work.
