Steph’s skill trees express the idea that mistakes and disasters are key steps on learning. Feedback from early users was that seeing how much you have learned is a huge boost. Mentors love skill trees too because they can focus their teaching on what mentees ought to learn next. #everythingopen #eo2025

We can't stop playing with machines it seems and losing warmth of while habits get over-used / too heavy.

Information Technology started off good - and was needed - but now has inevitably become also as things move on in to phases.

And still we're no nearer to making .

We're occasionally growing mostly but watching TV again irresistibly - some on big screens no different to 50" inch TV screens like a TV on steroid as seen in living room windows while walking past as big as the window itself.

Some of us scoffed at TV being too much of a large object in past but you probably have a larger one now. 📺

What's prompted me to say and do this is also...

1🔴 The @Invidious filter sites (that remove adverts) has been largely suppressed

And so it's also hard to escape code for tracking and adverts in general that the new is with tracking and adverts - which is worse than before and unacceptable.

2🔴 I need to do something more with my life.

Make my own shit, even with stuff already downloaded from the past - of which there is plenty... I admit it's hard and nobody else is around but still...

You have to figure how your own life can be, so saying this aloud helps me and perhaps you.

Instead of only watching others that you will never talk to while absorbing and tons of movies, and bad (even if you don't see it) then we have to probably create friendships to replace this and what surely is only going to increase in the bad things.

#Help #Fediverse not be another Twitter? 

❓ Is Fediverse turning out to be "yet another" communication thing just for almost only and not really input? ❓

not be another Twitter?

Pay people more and attention... ?

Couldn't we use this place towards actually helping people change? Personally hand-holding in whatever they / you want...?

❓ Are you just another user killing time and not much at the end like another Playstation? ❓

ETC IS GOOD BUT...

This space in itself is 100% ⭐ super ⭐ to be here and total respect for how many hours makes this a success,

BUT we almost had the same or similar as + + emails + or etc - so how is this going to be different here ? ❓

❓ Mastodon etc as just a better front end and not actually full of people changing history? ❓

The 'next level' is to actually each other change and others more personally.

Left alone we suck or get sucked into the engine pipes of other things like and plans from who spit us out the other sides when our batteries are tired and dead -

Give each other more listening time and even humour them - You might learn something and spend less time in the mono-work you do elsewhere ( etc is also a big time suck and not people focused)

The idea is 1-to-1 / 1-to-many
+ many-to-many (all of them)

1/ first

2/ together (non-state work) second

3/ along the way but not just using it for

Yes do mix up the order also !

Pay each other more specific ... like you do you cats!

Show a little mo' / solidarity to and find them to offer help / contrast / change...

Stay classy, stay positive... stay active on the Fediverse.
