commonality as #fascism / #binary thinking / #tech design #fascism / #binary thinking / #tech design 

⬇️ All these have commonality ⬇️

/ thinking / design

As ultimatums or narrowing-mindedness in design or decision-making they too easily fall into being non-human orientated...

1/ 🖤 It's either this or that

2/ 1️⃣ or 0️⃣ is 1 or 0 (or just not capturing every type of attribute.. leading to eventual reduction of humanity)

3/ Tech has designs of the people in charge so if they don't care it's all a cover up for not caring. People following those that don't care (like state) falli into thinking hospital are not just another big business (ma$$ive) and anyway tech can never fairly 'capture' every option or attribute to add to the value system if it did care really what you thought and put that into a system...

Because usually 'systems' are for power and control mechanisms, not how to collect all the info nicely and start respecting each and every person the same way they find a way to disrespect people (to get profit for themselves).

These things are exactly the same flow of good but opposite like reversing polarity towards negatives and cashing in on it (well some people;

for fascism = state profit
for binary-thinking = other authoritarian profit
for tech = elitism / more power and control and profit

For example, for every 10 yrs #Earth’s temperature remains 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, the researchers calculated, sea level will rise by about 4 cm, or 1.6”. Even a small increase in #SeaLevelRise can lead to more dangerous #flooding when #hurricanes & heavy #rains strike. (In #Florida, which is currently facing the danger of Hurricane #Milton, #SeaLevels are already 8” higher than they were in 1950.)

Life is somewhat irreconcilable... impossible to reconcile on one's own... 

Life is somewhat irreconcilable...
impossible to reconcile on one's own.

This helps make it a bit lighter after initial alarm because thankfully (almost) not everything is in our hands (we'd mess it up too quickly if it was)... so being ease with society teaches as aiming for "perfect" is simply not possible...

Other people were interesting... But now not so much... 

It used to be that other people were more interesting... But now people are so unfertile...

Unfertil might mean "the system sterilised me / them" and personally imagination... but that really I am so much happier being me... and even alone. And happy for those that still have "it" for life.

Even with the knowledge, skill, just people are dull and don't dance online with anyone (which actually is one of the biggest causes for "things that fail due to inacction".

Bfore I could watch Hollywood movies or even great documentaries... but it became another way to use up time / waste our lives away eventually without actual people contact (without it being job, business, family) -

❓ where are the people on the quest to freedoms?...

So this probably does not increase my magnetic feel for people or outwardly appearance to entice you to invest in each other but I'm just being real - if you are a great person - great !

But let's talk huh! ❓

My advice for those who wish to see more browser engines: Avoid relying on JS!

I'm not saying don't use it, just make sure your site doesn't break with it disabled. This is already feasible for most sites, & with the direction HTML & CSS are going...

The thing is: JS support with the DOM APIs is a major step up in complexity for a browser engine, for an even more massive step up in expectations!

So apart from WebKit/Gecko/Blink few engines support JS well if at all!

family is such a weird concept when as far as i know all of us are related.
and we're related to all the dogs and cats too. and all the spiders. and that tree outside. all life on earth is one big family.

(idk about viruses though, they're a bit weird, maybe someone smarter than me knows.)

Seeing all these journalists struggling without algorithmic curation explains a lot. The algorithms have been driving the stories as much as they have the interest in the stories.

Starving people are more grateful to get food / have access. But...cruelty comes in different ways... 

People often say "but what about food" for whatever horror banks / government are doing.

There is little worth easy food for what we get in return - more problems and expectation to work more...

People are not grateful for man-made restrictions to access and financially cooking people alive using food as the medium for a lure / trap / usury.

I consider it cruelty and cause of suffering for people to ride others like that even if it's not obvious by top-level people who putt arbitrary / keep-them-working numbers to things just to maximise people / tax etc... basically things are whatever it means to them (increasingly crazy and meaningless life) and keeps people sending them money and %'s through a system (of getting money)...

Those people pay the minimum for us, take the profit and often go to with it too because they don't care ultimately otherwise they would find a way to talk and care and make most people happen (I feel it's the opposite and they are totally not interested).

People more interested in warring on their own people and others- can't be trusted.

Grow your own food, get out of traps etc...

Negative Maths (Money/Debt Creation) = 'Negative Creation' ➡️ Therefore Negative Life 

TLDR / quick list to see if anyone interested (ask for more expansion)

TLDR: by order of how
⬇️ First words are important:

➖ Math is used in negative spectrum as Money.
💳 Money is largely the math of creating debt first (negative number amounts) in Banks,
( And 🗽 Government / companies also helps devalue the pool of money using many ways (inflation, increasing pension age, loans, stagnant wages, system, government decisions not to spend etc)
🏦 Banks
Creating loans diluting all other money. Ability to lend x9 more than it has essentially cheating maths loaning what it does have (gambling banks)

I won't write more buy wait to see if TLDR holds any % interest for you (excuse the pun)

====================
extra notes
====================
Almost proportionately, banks and money indirectly lead to negativity / exhaustion with anyone running endseley

Symptons, like a cancer of numbers using people.

Any question ? Nature's energy up in direct exchanged for the debt) when it's mostly man-man-numbers used to keep people working / desperate . etc...

Negative Maths (Money/Debt Creation) = 'Negative Creation'
➡️ Therefore Negative Life

#QOTO still needs fixing [UPDATED / MINOR correction] 

Updated: Took out version number which wasn't right because we have our version of software...

The rest is the same, with 2 replies pasted at the end since this was a re-draft (it would have left replies orphan if not pasted).

============
List of issues below + moan
- not so serious but good if you like to be on top of letting people know more than less
=============

My own critique (of anything) is that people are CRAP at managing if they are not saying (or listing) the problems in new version or half-step version for users (expert or not) - so they can expect things when changes have been made.
It was said this was a stepping-stone upgrade so this not quite deserving "crap" attribute but I guess I would do more or have someone else at least do it for me as a note to users (before others post about it say find a problem).

So a 'management of expectations' if we you are the manager / mod knowing about problems (to be fair I think it they don't always know and @freemo alone for ages) but still can't make promises you can't / didn't meet again).

So I'm mentioning this expectations thing so users in their own world know *before* using it that

(i.e.) ➡️ "we know you can't do this + this + this yet... but most works"...

so crap = not mentioning / being silent - which I'm not saying is the case here but going for others to note that if managing any users anywhere then say before complaints or someone holding you to tje time quoted... months out or repeated attempts and I'm sure prioritizing other things more than a few days...

Literally also a mod says it's not for them to talk to or tell @freemo and they seem help out once in a blue moon (notice almost no postings from them, or literally none) - So all this = no excuse for me as manager (not plural probably)) - waiting again for repair man to come or tomorrow again loses it's value / cost me to hear it again even if I didn't pay for it. Nobody like when repair guy doesn't show on the regular.

So the above is a general observation rather than attack or something.

===============
So on to the issues:
===============

1/ I get the same "re-dited" notifications - (like 5+ times so far for the same post) always the same posts

2/ Cannot see my own profile natively - clicking my username link = "not found" page as said by @bibliolater in this post (screenshot in post qoto.org/@bibliolater/11326220)

3/ error 500 comes up but retrying works so not bad or big (unless it's going wrong in some other way when it does seem to post)

4/ "Local" tab disappeared / no shortcut to see Local Timeline at top

5/ Searching own posts still doesn't work despite "shortly after" being said after this change - this is the longest running saga of all things and probably is just a switch on thing...

4/ yawn

so I'm sure all this will be attempted to be fixed...
"hopefully everything working and a few new features."
one day / after, another phase ... ...towards Version 4.x.x and that has been said as the plan...

@freeschool @bibliolater

#1 is due to backlog from when we were down, now that we are caught up they should go away.

#2 known issue we are fixing. It is due to a broken link, if you click your name ont he left side above the edit field it will be wrong, but if you click your name anywhere else it will be correct. Simple fix we will roll out soon.

#3 That was due to us having our resources set for the old version,b ut resource usage changed dramatically. As of earlier today we reallocated our workers (smaller machines but many more of them) and this issue appears to have went away, the system is more responsive as a result.

UPDATE: nvm i just saw a 500, its likely our load balancer, let me at that now.

#4 appears to be just a missing link issue o some kind. If you used to have the local timeline up it will still be up. But if it isnt up the physical link appears to just be missing. Easy fix ill have them on that right away.

#5 that is intentional, as I've stated before the upgrade needs to finish and then we will renable it (or else the updates would take weeks instead of a day). Right now things are mostly working, once everything is fixed (these issues seem to be all thats left) and things are stable for about a week then we will renable it.

as for your comments about 4.x not sure what your talking about, there is no 4.x of QOTO, Why would you think our next version would be a major number bump rather than a minor number bump? It sounds like you are confusing us with Mastodon, their versions and our versions arent related its different software.

@freemo @freeschool @bibliolater i'm using the phanpy.social web client, so not having the same issues, but i am experiencing long-ish loadtimes, and actions like replies/posts/boost/likes often generate errors and have to be tried more than once before they'll "take".

Logo is great by AlmaLinux - Reasons why + Community comments (as side-topic) 

Logo is super by AlmaLinux
on :fediverse:
@almalinux
---============----
Reasons:
---============----
1/ Captures a whole community vibe, hearts as people (not just for children to draw but grown ups too to visualise even as business-like, more-rigid logo - linking is cool)

2/ elegance like yin and yang

3/ but also people are more directly in the picture so suggests more clearly it's a people thing and orientated as (also rare)

4/ like shape also adds possibility that is the of it all or doing it together with hands in the middle, no matter what colour you are / where you are from.

---===============----
Personally... about my logo
and community needs...
---===============----

➡️ My logo was aiming for the similar few things mentioned but was much more mono-chrome / black and white...
🔵 3 people connecting personally to each other in an inside circle of exchange
⚫ Outside circle = achieving new level of being some kind of "community" (3+ busy people can do a lot of good in short time)

It's hard enough with 3+ communicating but it's so worth it to achieve any level of community... and therefore practice humanity that comes with it. Individuals can't do humanity on their own very well or it's hit and miss with others...

I'm personally having a lot of trouble as 'anon' or as nickname. Seems people really care about that to start with...

Not many see to what you write about or try for... many can't use free talents or extra hands when it's free... can't accept I keep it low profile online.... even though they know online dangers (not from individuals but more the larger fish). It's sad and possibly growing trust is one of the best things (including trusting other more often).

But glad to hear AlmaLinux is heading for the right ways which this review below shows...

---===============----
(just saw this review
I the post below....)
---===============----

" I think checks a whole lot of boxes:

* Run as many copies as you wish
* No need to register/authenticate to get binaries, source or patches
* LTS for everybody
* Security track record looking good
* Won't be bought and absorbed by RH
* Friendly, helpful
* Close enough to RHEL (and pretty much a standard of its own at this point)
* User-centric "
