@kim_harding yeah fuck cars! Get rid of car then get a car? That doesn't make sense. It should also be rather than merely change lightbulbs, to scale back on energy consumption and internet usage.
Posting is *not activism* Making posts belittling other peoples' activism is *really not activism* Radical posturing can be fun but if there's nothing behind it, it's just posturing.
One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹ ², #Telegram, #Discord ³ ⁴, #WhatsApp 5, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can??
This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
And no, bridges don't count!
I mean API 0 - style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!
Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!
Can we please get that back? Cuz #WastefulComputing pisses me off!
Please read the original post again:
And no, bridges don't count!
Plus #Matrix is a half-baked shitshow in terms of support and self-hosting with the #Enshittification via #AssholeLicensing killing it.
It just makes me wounder: Are modern messengers these days complicated or do the people who have the talent to write such a #MultiProtocolIM chosen that this is stupid and that like myself they'd never touch that shite in their life and make peace with it?
And I'm not talking about specific #API limitations like #Discord uses to force people to use their garbage client, but like #WhatsAppWeb and others...
Hating doesn't get you far.
#Hating doesn't get you far.
It is strange that pretty much #Everyone - The #Left or #Liberal etc seem more interested (obsessed) in hating or condemning things from a computer.
Possibly because there is less #skin in the game and you don't have to participate further than than, no need reply, get into #conversation, don't have to find more co-operation / #negotiate things of the mind to find #balance etc
So you* end up in the same spot as before. That's why people have to be on social -#discontent
* "you" plural but "you" personal also)
I admit spreading the love and increasing the trust can be harder but that's why those who care are here is it not?
So let's talk... #USPol #UkPol etc
Find a way to #love and not #hate as much. (all can be converted by talking about it between people)
Thanks #FreeSchool
The real #terrorists are in the State
🚀 #FreeSchool
Not saying there aren't good people there but professional liers and false promise-makers - NO they are harming us / terrorizing over years and years even if not a bomb directly.
@micr0 Hi, it you're interested in the answer since I didn't hear anything from @altbot
This altbot replies to the post with #AltText info as follows:

There is a link to "Gemma3:27b" but I'll update when I do another #text and picture post that needs it and copy the link here...

In 2025, #Trump administration officials—primarily at the Departments of State and Homeland Security—created a mass surveillance program to monitor constitutionally protected speech by noncitizens lawfully present in the U.S. https://www.eff.org/cases/united-auto-workers-v-us-department-state #Fascism #1u
why things don't work totally and evil grows again (because good people don't talk to each other deeper + distance themselves from each other!...)
part of why things don't work in the world is because the good people are simply are not going though the motions to increase #trust and interact to discover people and use them how they want.
So your reasons are justified about evil but doing 0 #interaction online is also not #helping what we need to #build something else!
To some level you are mostly a #fascist ⬅️ if we take it as today's meaning of 'not caring a lot' as #fascistic / part of #fascism who is also not putting the time in towards good people / just spread the bad shit / not finding the good and pumping that up
🏀 shoot some hoops with good people - talk to them! yo!
"I'm intentionally limiting the amount of #personal information in my bio. To be clear, even though there have been changes to the #Constitution over time, some of which I don't agree with, the process established by the Constitution is still the proper way to go about governing as long as the same rules are equally applied and done without #bias or #prejudice. That said, once a governing body (like #SCOTUS of #Congress) has become #corrupt, it is up to citizens to effectuate necessary #change."

❓ #Fascism ❓= anything "Bad" ❓❓❓ + #AntiFa / #AntiFascist = All Good ❓❓❓
#Fascism = anything "Bad" ⁉️❓
(modern day version incorrectly used)
#Fascistic is better (perhaps but still sometimes too generally...)
#AntiFascist / #AntiFa also a good thing
...but too broadly used by those who generally don't know what it means (to others who also don't know but might accept it as 'bad' which it might be but not specific enought)... similar to #AntiFa or Anti-Fascist - which maybe everyone wants to be but really can't care enough when it comes down to it to do it all themselves / #DIY. It's #virtuesignalling which I accept a #virtuesignal is part of trying and helps accept things enough to try more levels of.
Debate welcome on this #audio...

Big cheers to our friends in the US doing their #NoKings protests!
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
"Free School" is a 60's & 70's term I follow for a movement of continual practice in educational living & learning together towards #DIY & #Caring. (All at the same time, not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or #compartmentalisation to ignore others in other fields).
Posts are often 1-line #Notes #Quotes about #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites etc that links all things (again it's not just about 1 thing). CW is used to allow the post to have a 'show more' button and reveal more text if you want.
All things towards #Freedom and Short-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 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking - Peacefully solve everything.
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 / send ideas).
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.
