Working With Real People
Vs. Working With Machines 24/7
⚠️ MAJOR #Problem with #Commonism or any theory of change... ⚠️ ⬇️
Any proposed system or way that does not expect resistance against it actively seems for me an unrealistic new system or transition to put into any practice.
We will surely have a #transition phase involving all many things (stresses and types of people in the way wanting to keep the existing going at the same time). Not sure if any will suddenly have a change of heart or will to try something - maybe because it relates themselves so much even knowingly, just professionally.
Education might work... but even that has to be done right and things will still going during that and not many know when the exit point is or what transition means more than 'let's see' and 'sit and wait' a bit - maybe 'test' some of it in the academic sense (not many live it)
Those people that are professionally invested and employed are pretty good at being bad and sticking to it daily quite well. (It's no accident or it's not stupid people). It's what they are paid to do and good at it. Even knowing the underlying dirty work still doesn't really deter people from what 'works' (and at least pays them).
They probably do sleep well on their yachts, buying luxury with piles of money. And even lower down, people don't want for a lot less when it comes down to it. I know from experience trying to 'free' people who only are so desperate to pay, or be minimal when you can eat the whole lot... Even the poor people don't want freedom sometimes unless really desperate. Tried most my life if various ways. It's been shocking at times like birds that don't really want to fly out of a cage or want to be responsible for their own lives and those of others ⚠️
A lot is psychological and mind over matter because people don't care for others to that extent! Smaller stuff like reading lots... nah. Sorry! Don't have time for _those_ things!
On the Fediverse very few might try something (or even respond).
The will of the existing rulers or employees are strong and that keeps what they want (and what they don't want).
They don't want the new or to be more free unless it does MORE of the same ways as before. They are enforcing the future and stealing it.
➡️ Free is also a danger for us because governments actually will use things against us. They don't pay for many needed things but then pay for grants or research - but not towards freedom, but of course the same stepping-up of the game they were interested in before - otherwise they would have paid for it freedom 100 times already and we could have solved much of it with the profit... or inventions of fertilizer, the major inventions and techniques - but instead it's just made worse and pushing the boat out a bit further / the same but larger scale even at risk of it all breaking / rotting things.
======================
SO THIS IS MY OPEN QUESTION OR ANYONE HERE
❓ Does your theory or book expect to deal with the opposition of it?
➡️ Y ./ N / Maybe
❓ What makes you're book or it's thinkings any different to all these other ways?
(I accept a bit of change but not sure about changed even something other than just ad-hoc mutuality)
❓ Why wouldn't people put those that make major change in jail again especially when paid / their life depends on it?
=======================
THE REST IS OPTIONAL / ONLY IF YOU'RE ABLE but mostly can be considered an overflow if text so stick to above for now...
=======================
All can be GREAT theory (really) by you and others - but there is the same experiences happening when trying...
...BECAUSE NEARLY EVERYTHING has always had deliberate challenge and shut down not least relating to their ego(s), muscle-mindedness, control, physical / primitive of restricting others (jailing them) etc etc...
And I don't mean evil or corporate people only - I mean people like our parents so far behind they'll want to kill it like the 'bacteria' they think is bad but actually the basis of life and diversity. They will spray it in a second like a bug.
Even of the GREAT inventors have had such hardship from backwards thinking let alone Capitalism (or whatever)... even from those people they could have used and abused earlier (for money) but they condemn these types unless they can be used for profit... Dickens or Van Gogh or whoever people wouldn't even be able to sell their books for lowest currency or for free, they would get burnt or witch-hunts (modern day equivalent still is very much the same)..
And just put people in jail earlier than listening to them. Not even logic there.
If people like that don't give money to the greats... abuse them even... and throw people away. What consideration do you have for that?
===================
Again stop reading anytime.
===================
Anything / everything will face these stresses (despite my bad examples perhaps)
IF ANYTHING STARTS WORKING. YOU WILL GET SHUT DOWN. It's not fear talking. You might have never got something going before to have the experience - something that is caring is magnet for being shut down and naive people wonder why on earth they would bulldozer the place or charge public to not improve it. Essentially it keeps the power and scarcity. And give them something bad to do with tax you give them...
Think about #Bitcoin as another #commoning (again not a great word or triggers people) but interest to take it over is tangible, one day bad and full of 'hackers' and voodoo and now on your high street once locked and sterilised by them.
inventors trying to make free energy, hemp rope, have to deal with existing patents, law, and well it's just #Assange stuff!
Across the board too much.
So my advice we give them ideas if anything... UNLESS your idea can deal with the FLACK at the same time as changing and even not announce it like these twitter people serving to show the trend and wonder why they are cut off at the road ahead to change - the system can see / hear / predict it (system also means those behind it raking / scraping in all the trends).
Anyway I appreciate writing a lot but chances are you might not be interested.
It's not just a theory thing but like a tug of #war to the existing AND they don't play logic... (again even without fear it's worse than talking to monkeys).
You can't argue for fairness, pity, they don't work like that but in #authority and relate to their paychecks even lower down the level like you and I.
Whch is often why #academics and #acedemia are pre-checkmated. / steralised. Sign here please.
📚 SO BACK TO YOUR BOOK...
Apologies that I haven't read your book but can pull something out regarding that?
❓ ❓ ❓ ❓
I'd appreciate it - my guess is 0 mention of that - and any official book may not even be able to publish it!
I haven't come across ANYTHING that deals with those backwards systems that haven't been de-platformed etc... Maybe #DavidGraeber style stuff but really it's a hard one.
Would love to be corrected,
Imagine those backwards people in offices to change.,, the way your mum thinks... patriarchy your and way you dad doesn't allow "free" or "Italian / Russian" way if masculine domination (or any stereotype), the "perfectionist / maximization / efficiency of 'German' types (again sorry but for short)... all the cultures have it (some more than others though now we're mixing)
Or new generation, really fancy and in their bourgeois comforts - never going to let go.
People will keep things THEIR WORLD in line and even shoot themselves in the foot to keep the norm going.
❓ What makes you're book or thinking any different?
❓ Did you ever get feedback or hear of something like this?
❓ Why wouldn't people put those that change in jail again?
#RogerHallam #TommyRobinson etc... regardless of their flavours
All said with respect and fast writing so you can get the basic ideas.

The problem is: Even if a majority realized it, most people couldn't imagine a viable alternative. #Capitalist categories are so deeply internalized in our minds that a non-authoritarian alternative is not conceivable for most of us!

"It's a human feature not a human bug" ☑️ 👫 ☑️ 🚫 🥾 🚫
"It's a human feature not a human bug" ☑️ 👫 ☑️
🚫 🥾 🚫
I'm talking #humans here - not bugs to squish or eliminate (which also I wouldn't do).
Humans features, as if diversity were an imperfection, is not the right perspective and only goes towards #fascism.
I 💯% accept there are lines (without sounding #Hitlers about it) as I know for example #alcoholics who 80% I vouch for maybe as really loving humans (having my ideal things more than 0 in standard people) but the 20% at the end of the night is a *fucking nightmare* and I accept they would need punching out or even death if they continued for long time.
Sharing land with that friend would be tough with alcohol they professionally abuse.
But for many it's not like that and a workable #sharable #planet 🌐 maybe... !
No idea what to do about #Alcoholism - can be really deep and forever time-consuming and even then only minimises what simply stays in people... *sigh*
ABOUT THE WAR NOW...
Any army (#Russian / #Israeli / etc) or it's leaders etc are not killing because of the #alcoholics anyway - it's for the oil on the #Palestine land 💲=🛢️ ⛽ 🚗=💲 so as far as I can imagine as 'business as usual' it's the monetary power/energy/etc reasons here as usually strategy.
I'm sure, just #war basically means 'business' since it's a sub-part of states which want to maintani their taken-territory while still entertaining taking over other people's land physically OR economically via "business" companies and economic #warfare)... sigh again... all for war, profit, taking territory...
@freeschool
I'd go further: Tech "solutions" only exceptionally are really solving anything. In most cases they are only incentive for new capital accumulation ("investment opportunities") to generate more profits, entailing more exploitation and environmental destruction.
#capitalism #planetdestruction #climateemergency #CapitalismKills
HUMAN SOLUTION = LESS MACHINES + MORE PERSONAL HUMAN CONTACT !... OR...?
HEY I GOT THE HUMAN #SOLUTION !
MINIMAL TECH + HAND-CRAFTED HUMAN CONTACT
= SOLVES THE EXCESSIVE OVER-THE-TOP USAGE OF USING MACHINES AND GIVES HUMANS SOMETHING TO BETTER CUSTOMISED / CURATED TO THEMSELVES ! "
(maybe you could say it better?.. anyone ? / @messaroundmarx ?)
Hashtag version of this #Solution
+ #Human #Orientated #Contact / #Personal #User #Communication
= Overall solves the other problems using "slowly but surely" method as more and more open up to work #together and solve / clear up each others mess / communicate more clearly why this or that works.
#Federation comes from person to person contact... 🤯 Twitter vs Mastodon... 🤯
#Federation comes from person to person contact... 🤯
#Federation done properly is from people making strong bonds with people, daily - not just a general name of larger places even together but not doing much, but knowing and working with them better 🤯
Without decent aligned people contacting each other it's all aesthetics as Federation, and can flop despite the numbers.
It's all temporary if people are not actually interacting more #together / closer. As true #Friends in #Federation.
People might wonder why things like Mastodon largely end up as a better Twitter or how we couldn't get it together using email or any other social -
That's because it's still not improving the people itself as #friends more dedicated to helping each other in rising up #together despite imperfections - because we are all knowing there are 100 Trumps are out there. And from being scared we also stick together.
Incrementing a better expression and alignment *while accepting initial imperfect* is the key to better Federation and people not falling apart at the first sentence and bickering, like twitter.

No winners in this man-game (deliberately made for all to lose)
There game show parody called,
"What's That Name?"
Host Bill Hader asks contestants to name everyday people in their lives, like their doorman, and they can't.
When he fails miserably John Mulaney asks,
❓ "Why do you do this game?
❓ What's it all for?
❓ What do you want?"
Hader replies,
🌀 "In a word, chaos."
He ends with,
⭐ "And that's the game, no winners I guess." ⭐

Investing in people - #Shit humans also come from what you don't invest in and spend time on... IT'S not just #BigTech, Trump etc....!
What do you expect in life if you're not investing in people?
The rest you don't need to read and is just a moan - but really the main point is the above line.
====================
In the human sense it's not only #Corporations but people who are using themselves as tools who don't respect or care much for things and even claiming it's not their fault.
They could by the smallest amounts change.
So it's not just #BigTech, Trump etc....! IT'S YOU
#Shit humans also come from what you don't invest in...
Reminds me of #Enshitification / #Enshittification but just with humans not doing the humanising work and mostly just machine work.
Don't expect the leaders or industry to do any better - I think our work should be about doing better versions of #BigTech tools, not just #OpenSource playing with #computers
It's you dear #Techie #Gamer #Twitcher #Trump #hater aer too absorbed with that then that needs to fix up #BECAUSE you're not caring or building people building up - just #machine work?
More tools only seems to make it worse and distracted.
Until you can actually 'interface' with people online and work with them, every day with intent to solve thing, then not much will happen better than just #Techies installalling more hardware and software.
Also if respect and focus is mostly just #money in the middle that's also not going to work.
#Banks :bank don't hold good moral value.
Bottom of the barrel duplication work = YOU?. Prove me wrong.
Hardly any working *with* people.
#Trump #Musk #Zuckerberg #Bezos are all held up by your habits and what positive interest in others you don't build with.
Our friends at @delta are continuing to make #WebXDC an amazing platform: https://delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxdc-notifications
The realtime #WebXDC APIs are built on top of #iroh #p2p connections in #DeltaChat. Glad to be playing a part in this!
#Deltachat #privacy #messenger #app features
Basically uses email and auto-setups an industry standard encryption method with 0 technical knowledge as default on install - app to app
Like #WhatsApp for pictures, text video messages in interface... but more direct.
☑️ Fediverse: @delta
☑️ Features / Advantages #list:
* auto-delete messages / temporary messages / time-delay
* only email (+App needed)
* no middleman (no remote server or #cloud)
* WhatApp-ish modern visual UX
* stored on your device(s) *
* only subject and sender is readable without app
* import contacts optionally via QR-code or e-mail address
* no SPAM or commercial middleman
* industry standard encryption on top just made easier via app
* no phone numbers or sim needed
* open source
migrating from #WhatsApp to another centralized platform is not a real solution, that's why we are here in the #Fediverse and not in #BlueSky
Migrate from #WhatsApp to #DeltaChat and other decentralized alternatives, break free out of the silos once and for all and stop feeding billionaires/CEO incubators
P.s.: this toot and picture comes from @adbenitez 💗💗
anyone interested in helping out with maintaining the message parser for #deltachat desktop?
It's #test_driven_development like a #coding_puzzle, written in #rust
with the #nom parser combinator library.
Repo: https://github.com/deltachat/message-parser
We have some bugs that I currently don't have the capacity to fix.
When not dabbling in undusting the venerable Email system we play with rewiring the Web to free it from the possibility of billionaire platforms. With a nod to @pluralistic 's "Ulysses Pact" we just published "Replacing billionairish platforms with ZIP files" highlighting a bunch of new #webxdc features and community developments. The challenge is on who wants to join in de-platforming Venture-Capital-backed web apps that try to mediate our private communications https://delta.chat/en/2025-01-23-webxdc-no-billionaires
F is for Freedom and #FreeSchool hashtag is what this is about...
All things towards #Freedom (moving from Shorter to Deeper and Caring thoughts)
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool profile has #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
