"I post long threads..." by Cory Doctorow

➡️ EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!... You explain things well and like a different breed of person this is what we need to crack longer combinations of things not seen only as time by constant caring...

Short-form people all measurably miss this and are...
well - they never get there :)

I tested a lot of experts and they lose touch with the pack by running too far ahead or not keeping them in mind...

So I'm following you Cory Doctorow @pluralistic ! Thanks man.

➡️ ➡️ P.S ⬅️ ⬅️ REQUEST!
I think someone 'should' write about this long-form or 'wall of text' phenomenon (I've had people call me names and judge even without reading ANY of it purely as mass-of-text visual allergy!!

So we need 1 writing that "splains it" to even the experts that are mono-working and losing broadness by going deep in 1 rabbit holes and not bringing the mass with them as part of their daily "conversion" or result...

No amount of money or invention will help on it's own as the users / people are the week link... look how they use the internet ...so all that from ground up needs better aligning and abilities (and interests) should grow so it's not shallow expertise...

#CoryDoctorow #pluralistic #Writing
#Longform better than short only (using CW we achieve both short AND long version!)

Someone write about this
Or let me know if someone has written something decent on longform / long / explained versions. Why short cuts out stuff which is needed in human learning / balance (even the unwanted stuff dealt with more people to accept everyone's learning or level)

What's similar about Charity and Capitalism?

➡️ Both almost only wants our money (mostly).

#Irony #Protest #Donate buttons

I don't mean all charity but most movements totally don't get using ALL people and whatever skill is needed to MOVE the MOVEMENT - can't avoid the hard work and skip to just money all the time (even though they know banks don't work 🏦 so knowing that doesn't work on it's own and even with ALL the money is limited USE THE PEOPLE)

#creative #practical #process #movements #protests #riseup #examples @riseup
@Tutanota #charity (not just money but efforts across the board / people's skills and habits)

We need to be far more creative and unique in each of our causes.

"No I don't use goofle..."

#Healthier #Loopbacks from computers / portables back to #Reality seems to be what we need from using Computer Technology... In a #Sterile #Reality we seem to need this else fall into a game loop where not much changes... just one player mode.

So rather than #Consumption / Output of #Emotions from wanting it all online from 1 person, something collaborative for personal growth. Projects without personal growth are almost 0 growth at the end.

Or instead of Projections of whatever it is we want, from behind a screen from others, reaching something creative / visible at the end!

Sterile Reality ===>to Virtual Reality ===> to Reality Re-Cultured / Getting shit done for ourselves / sorting our life out which can't be done in 1 player mode!

🙍 to 👩‍🏫 👨‍🏫 🏫 ?
#Teachers / Active #Students / regular "#School" / #FreeSchool #Homework ?

🙍 to 🖌️ 🎨 ✏️ ?
#Art / #Creativity / #Collaboration #Real #P2P ?

(but there is a big chance we'd find another way to escape what locals and generally people don't se the same or is a big task to understand about almost anything... even if not peace / accepting individuality / talking about it / being less authoritarian which it probably all overlaps no matter where you come from)

If we didn't have Internet we *_*might*_* be doing more locally

"Computer User" does seem to sound worse in this context, even though it's all really good, fun, educational etc... it's still like one thing we use A LOT

#Computer #User from #Sterile #Reality so needs #Healthier #Loopbacks to #Reality... rather than #Consumption / Output of #Emotions from wanting it all online and Projections of it onto everyone here behind a screen !

About Privnote

TLDR ( private + passworded + automatic self-destruct + timed messages 💥 💣 )

Have you ever wanted to send confidential information within your work environment, to family or friends, but were afraid to do so over the internet, because some malicious hacker could be spying on you?

Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all.

Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the note will automatically self-destruct; which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work any more.

Best 2024 Secure Email Providers ?

+ 2 main requirements worth mentioning:

1- zero-knowledge by provider (they or others can't snoop)

2- open registration (can create account)

█ Tuta (German company)
@Tutanota (known as Tutanota before)

█ Proton (Swiss company)
@protonmail

█ Posteo (paid) but I heard / read before is quite good

Excerpt:
"Proton and Tuta are the two most popular encrypted email providers, and with good cause. They check all the boxes and users really can’t go wrong with either. Originally I was hoping to list three or four more options, but out of all the other popular choices in the privacy community, I couldn't find any that were zero-knowledge by default (and had open registration). That's unfortunate because privacy and security aren’t always black and white. I hate giving users only two choices of provider. Unfortunately, at this time, Proton and Tuta are the most user-friendly, reputable, and trustworthy services I can recommend to mainstream readers. That's not to say that there aren't other services that are trustworthy, but they may require additional setup or come with caveats that make me uncomfortable to recommend them to my target audience."

FediTips new username on Fediverse it doesn't show up!

#Question #Fediverse #Tips !

(at least on Mastodon doesn't show account on search or auto-complete)

New account is said to be:

https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips

which should be mesasgable
(and said also on website to be...)

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services

Old one does show up which is:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips
@feditips

Website works but writing to not (unless I get reply from this)...

Website has other links and maintained by:

https://social.chinwag.org/@FediThing / @FediThing

#Fediverse feels this as messaging...

Like after sending messages suddenly no reply and usually a good point stuns them indefinitely... I admit it's hard losing but together we can "lose better"... but you must bow to me (and I to you in practise)

Hate has no winners (but those bankers 🏦 paying for and making money from #war). 💰

Often banks give money to both sides of warring parties.

Loans given and debt with it... for one side or another to bomb each other. To buy more equipment and explosives to use on each other, instead of work on something better... 💰 🤑 💰 🤑 💰 🤑

#Banks and #Bombs as source of war 💣 🚀 ✈️ 🔫 ⛵ 🚢 🏦 💣

#Money as way of collecting for war

What lasts "forever" as man-made without expiry is often cheating / misrepresenting the reality of erosion / degradation on earth and making it look like 'gravity' doesn't exist' when numbers stay forever or money for example... though they are being eroded I guess with inflation... but that's just cheating people as inflation / tax over time doesn't need to be, so I mean more nature / natural thing than man layers added on top I guess as real Earth value, not man-made false value!)

That’s why If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Give_a_Mouse_a_Cookie... is a book illustrating a "slippery slope" when you give, perhaps as charity as an example context, but more is wanted / demanded. [which I think logic can take care of itself a bit here).

That's why "The mouse never gets a cookie..." is a kind of government analogy to say "Don't give, they will only want more... [freedom, money, control etc]"

Described as a "circular tale", the increasing energy of the mouse means the little boy gets run ragged by the end of the story from constantly serving the mouse....

(Though in reality I don't think this is true, people can self-govern or go along with things, with oversight similar to what they do now but will more given back to "The People").
