Grateful... Gratitude... Thanks... Thank You... Appreciate The Work... Many Thanks @freemo

Also uploaded a smaller size picture as I think you can still see the "thanks" even when auto-enlarged! :D

@feoh that's my main hypothesis why Bluesky is so toxic. The network was found by American political migrators from Twitter and they kinda infected the whole network.

Why the Julian Assange case is the most important battle for press freedom of our time

By Chris Hedges

"A society that prohibits the capacity to speak in truth extinguishes the capacity to live in justice. The battle for Assange's liberty has always been much more than the persecution of a publisher. It is the most important battle for press freedom of our era."

There is a saying in the military, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast". My colleagues and I find that the fastest path to good results is in small steps, each one supported by tests. "No, smaller than that!"

Almost envy people who can block so easily, but with lack of a great pool of data / people- we are fucked

So you might well want not to burn bridges and not block people. We are all we have now...

Legal and Law are government terms used for their own advantage mostly.

The government creates things what they want to use, not for how we can use it against them. Doh!

Unfortunately, crypto can't really become a "real currency" until you can pay your taxes with it.

Hey people... make my day and help me find some patrons... At this point my #liberapay has a single lonely patron 😭 liberapay.com/villares

In order to sustainably translate and review and grow 80+ pages from my current Portuguese-language material-aulas (Python + py5) materials I think I'll need at least 10 patrons.

Crying for my life at the moment.

It was good I found the film also at the same time...

...deep feelings of loss, tangible by humanity not being listened too.
My life.

This film which allowed me to cry heavily even during typing this.

"Grave of the Fireflies" Anime type film about surviving with nothing much left in the world.

If you've seen it let me know.
If you want to talk about it and exchange screenshots I have some to share of moments and regular meaning in the film's them of loss and being in war, which I still think we are in and temporarily upholding like mirage or screen temporarily on but humanity not really there at it's core...

is back after a long migration in the first stage of our upgrade. Now that we are on a new home we will give it 24 horus to see if the move was bug free (As it seems to be) and then we will start upgrading versions one at a time day by day.. The upgrades are prepared and ready and should be **much** quicker.

The move took a while as we keep a backlog of every message to the start of the fediverse so our media and DB stores are quite large and it took a long time. But we are back!!!

Linux people sometimes negative towards beginners, extreme or unhelpful?... (Examples from podcast: Late Night Linux #267)... 

"It doesn't make you a bad Linux user for using Windows also."

Good Points / Notes....
♥ being an advocate and not a gatekeeper,
♥ being tolerant of other people’s choices
♥ accepting that not everyone can use Linux
♥ spreading the word that Linux has improved over the years
♥ contributing where you can

Chris from does really well in explaining typical reactions people have towards Windows etc and discusses his Promoting Linux: An End-User Manifesto video related to all this.
Chris' Channel: invidious.fdn.fr/channel/UCbiG

+ why the Raspberry Pi bubble has burst, and the present and future of RISC-V.

WHO IS DEVELOPING IT is as important as the product... 

One thing technology has shown us increasingly today is WHO IS DEVELOPING IT is as important and not just what it can do as candy or product at the end.

People *probably* want to build mindlessly, a bit like ant colony does (and having a purpose) but less naturally or with so much human-contaminated development - ONE must be careful.

Without study before investing your life energy and time is surely a mistake.

Careful Neo - think who behind each thing you use!

Flaw in Mathematics... is people and banks using numbers incorrectly!.. 

EUREKA! Taken me years to say / purify somewhat... bear with me...

Subject:
Flaw in Mathematics... is people!

Flaws relate to:
- WHO is valuing the numbers
and
- HOW

And even though can apply to many topics I feel this is BY DESIGN like a scam is but unknown to people how it works even though it seems to give them a numbers at the end... REALLY overlooked because you and others see mathematics as "pure" numbers. How could a number be wrong?

Remember WHO is managing it AND HOW.

As short examples:

$100 bill changes value if I add Quantitative Easing to the overall money pool that it exists.

Or by diluting the water, the original value is hugely effected (reduced in this case).

Money is reduced - estimated about %2 per month (or year? does it matter) and either way means what you read on your banknote IS NO WHERE NEAR THE ORIGINAL VALUE.

Imagine also that as $100 is loaned (e.g. costing you $10 to take the loan) then people are effectively paying for money so immediately worth then than $100 since millions are paying for their loans!

M = [M+fee or %]

The above compounds into sillyness about numbers and what we give each other is basically HUGELY inaccurate per dollar or whatever currency and ACTUALLY undermining all our labour.

END NOTE
I've somewhat blurted it out but re-read that and realise our life is based on hugely incorrect ways and numbers we think represent reality and stay static. It is one big scam people go along with as it sustains a kind of existence... BASED ON DEBT (WHICH IS A TYPE OF DEATH IN ANY SYSTEM!)

Fascinating or completely not?

"We propose to conceptualize science-related populism as a set of ideas which suggests that there is a morally charged antagonism between an (allegedly) virtuous ordinary people and an (allegedly) unvirtuous academic elite, and that this antagonism is due to the elite illegitimately claiming and the people legitimately demanding both science-related decision-making sovereignty and truth-speaking sovereignty."

@scott

Scott, I'm not making anything illegal. I'm trying to point out what I think are the implications of existing law (GDPR).

And, no, the 'same law' does not apply. There's a fundamental difference between passing messages to be viewed *within a network* and bundling every single post anywhere and handing that over to third parties.

The docs I linked make that clear, I think, and fedi simply doesn't do that, BS does.

Vote or Not - What's the middle?

It's the hard middle to balance or try to do that I think is as important to falling for choosing only this or that way.

Actions / Opportunity for others... I'm stuck in a loop. Naturally and by-design (by others)... 

I'm stuck in a loop. Naturally and by-design (by others)...

I am looking to exit to better loops like better addictions in life, as better ways of living others like you / others can offer me.

I think we can more responsible for each other's opportunities and activity towards offering better / more reasoned ones...
