OFFICIAL INFO - My Italy Dream Story
========================================
My book - the spontaneously spoken story - of how I came to my magical Italian Arthouse - on a mostly-non-existent
budget, and surmounting myriad challenges internally and externally:
how it was to immerse myself in a random, semi-abandoned medieval quarter and the rural culture of south Italy - and the explosion of house-hunting that our TV show seeded... How everything blew up in drama and controversy... and then settled down beautifully, into La Vita Agrodolce and then Eventually, how it all healed into the thriving natural life I now Am Living...
The 17 Chapters of the story of moving and feelings of reality:
the glen
the prayer
la degustazione
the drive
the full immersion
the separation
the dark night of the soul
the corrected prayer
the house
the first year
the arthouse
the landscape
the tv show
the gold rush
the renovating
the corrected dream
the living dream
During freshwater global crisis, Google's water surge
"Google’s data centers worldwide consumed nearly 6 billion gallons (22.7 billion liters) of water in 2024. The company’s “2024 Environmental Report” showed an 8% annual increase in water consumption, driven by advancements in search functions, artificial intelligence (AI), and other projects. AI remains the primary factor behind the surge, with Google’s water consumption having jumped 20% in 2022."

Capitalism? Problems & Solutions.. My recent posts as list...
How to overcome capitalism? etc
[My recent posts as #list summary]
➡️ Minimise #machines and maximise #humans (for the human way more often)
➡️ Not every #solution needs to be a #tech one.
➡️ Need to expect resistance during any system of transition different from it
➡️ Increment help and trust of other kinds (between ourselves to #help #grow ourselves)
➡️ Be The #Change ...OR ... Become A New #System of Working #Together (Simply called a system of #Friendship)
➡️ We can imagine the end of the world, but we can't imagine reducing #capitalism ourselves.
➡️ The 'next level' is to actually invest time to talk with everyone
➡️ People are not investing in people (not putting in time)
➡️ People prefer talking to / working on / working with #machines and not growing themselves and others
➡️ #Fascism in the opposite axis or another spectrum of extreme is called #laziness and #irresponsibility.
➡️ When it's less clear and this is where I'd favour a bit of trial and error.
➡️ EVERYONE IS #UNIQUE - Change Your #System
➡️ ALL #systems seem to miss the unique individual from the equation, showing 'system' is something done *to* people, not so much *with* them or asking them what they think
➡️ Staying as victim too is by just watching and talking about #Trump #Musk #Bezos #Cook #AlexJones #Zuckerberg etc
➡️ Watching and commenting on the #Trump #shitshow etc doesn't increase #trust and #friendship between us
➡️ It's upto us instead of waiting for others or mass movements...
➡️ #Shitternet = A place where corporations and #BigTech makes Internet shitter [my own term]
➡️ #Wikipedia thrives because it prioritizes community and collaboration over technical perfection
➡️ Real work is the users and admin together AND non-google / non-aws stuff... maximising the people-to-people work (p2p communication daily) rather than only mass storage mcdonalds tech and memes...
➡️ Humans change humans by respecting and believing in the individuals more often... (we see a lot of hate pushed around)
➡️ #Friendships for the way and linking things - exploring #individuals to see they are multi-dimensional
➡️ MINIMAL TECH + HAND-CRAFTED HUMAN CONTACT
========== QUESTIONS ============
➡️ Ways to help each other people from start nearer to the finish?... Suggestions?
➡️ How to help / share / grow each other with less modern Capitalism involved?
"Being the change" means doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity / Incrementing Trust)
You become what you increasingly give energy to...
❓ - Are machines only what you develop? 🌀 💻 🌀
❓ - IS IT A GOOD OR BAD SPIRAL? HUMAN OR MACHINE SPIRAL? 🌀 📉 🌀
❓ - CAN YOU CO-CREATE / COOPERATE BETTER TOGETHER ?
🎆
☑️ Be more yourself AND with other people develop THEM / EACH OTHER with what you do already!...
🎩 Politics & Profit 💲 is surly robbing us- but WE are also not really doing much more than repeating it (cooperating and complaining)...
People on the #Trump #Musk #Bezos hashtags, can become them if not careful... in some lesser way by "following" their bad work
The spiral 🌀 storm they are in, is a bad spiral / it's not promoting co-operation
You are not creating #trust almost at all !
You are not #cocreating on #Fediverse as your daily driver right?
"Hashtag followers" can fall into the trap of perpetuating the bad 🔁 news and advertising the bad people, just reacting.
Not creating.
ALL publicity is good publicity for bad people...
Are you the repeater tool used to grow THAT?,,, and not grow THIS trusting stuff?
Trust is what needed to defend from bad people in future (don't wait for them to stand on your head or become nicer people suddenly).
So build each other up ⬆️
or die ⚱️#complaining ⚱️!
"Being the change" means actually doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity? Increment Trust?)
If you like #Banks and dislike everything else that attempts something similar (#Crypto / #CrytoCurrency included)
then I question what the point of life is with that sort of devil and not trying to think about lesser ones.
While accepting we're inside this or that container - all are burning the planet, "naturally" or more excessively depending on your priority ladder...
Making something, even out of seemingly nothing. (Trusting People)
#Increment #Trust with #People
#CoCreate #CoOperate #Contribute
(Retoots appreciated)
Anyone looking to hire an experienced Staff-level engineer with over 12 years of software engineering expertise and 7 years of #elixirlang experience in a variety of architectural styles? (Me)
I have extensive experience leading teams. Workshop facilitation know-how. Hands-on experience in shaping team structures, crafting effective sociotech dynamics, optimizing delivery processes, and using a multitude of techniques to understand and break down complex problem domains into simple solutions.
I don't see myself as just an engineer, I'm a problem solver in tech. One that understands that simple beats complex and that you cannot ignore the human component in tech.
I'm looking for a remote position. Something where I can empower one or many teams and help you accelerate, improve, and simplify the whole software delivery lifecycle. 30h week. Preferably Elixir but if the conditions are right I don't really care.

Giving Humans Work and Using Each Other rather than the Machines-as-people
The Human Equation / Challenge as I see it is mainly about:
1 ➡️ Giving humans more work with their feelings / expression / own work
And against tyranny (if you agree we have resistance):
2 ➡️ Working together with our own stuff
Machines today are doing the work mostly and Humans less processing things...
=====================
MACHINES-AS-PEOPLE
=====================
The politics behind machines are that the machines-are-as-people - think about Bill Gates a Windows machine in your home made with increasingly more power and political in mind as selfish bias like tracking and mining you)
=====================
WHY HUMANS AND LESS MACHINES?
=====================
Humans can fight it out verbally with a bit of a chance whereas machines just follow-only as an object / code and too fast for humans which ultimately life is for (and us serving planet too):
=====================
Another way to say the equation:
=====================
🐵 [Human's work & energy
➡️ with feelings / negotiation ability
VS.
🤖 [Machine's work & energy]
⛔ no feelings / no negotiation ability
I think #Trump has a great name... shows what we need to trump him / them / ALL those types
His name reminds us all that the Fediverse and beyond -ALL- literally have to Trump him to get him off the podium.
Which means communicating between us (not just working with computers).
Nobody wants to deal with that.
TRUMP is a G.O.A.T (means "Greatest Of All Time") in some ways like the animal spelling of the acronym, which is relevant according to the will-power needed to topple those at any top level. I don't think he's the best, but he shows up/
The #Fediverse community have to truly be about community (err... yeah #friendship making remember?) which seems what people are TOTALLY MISSING here and we should be almost inundated with questions and active enough to do that 1 person a day or 1 message to give back to the world.
And not given that = no community. #GAMEOVER.
#TRUMP WINS. WITH #PUTIN AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN DO COMMUNICATION...
Trump and #Putin deserve to dance, because we're too scared of each other here!
No really! 👻 👤 👥
You're scared of others and don't want to invest the "time" in listening / working together...
Back to the #Trump hashtag you go dear virtue-signaller / feel-good stone thrower...

The odd connection between #DeepSeek and #BigTech #Monopolies, #AntiTrust and #Foss #OpenSource #China
Become The Change... And Working With Others.. ⬇️
Steps for real change:
➡️ Work with Others Together on The Fediverse by Sending encouraging messages 💬 ✉️
➡️ Send offers to do something for others or their projects
➡️ Work on Your Own Material Daily (Realise your own value)
➡️ Increment other people and yourself... (add value to them / you by choosing mutual conversation)
🔁 Repeat 🔁
For me #Friendship is for those that can and want real change (those that feel for it and have big hearts) towards #mutualty and #Friendly #Partners in Work and Fediverse in general.
You can continue your existing life by doing some of the list above.
Does it sound feasible for you ?

Hi, (Roger writing)
As you may know, I received a five-year sentence for making a 20-minute #Zoom speech calling for civil disobedience in July. I was not at all involved in any actions or their planning.
I was there to explain, as I have done hundreds of times before, why we have to peacefully step up and stop the greatest crime in #human #history: the decimation of the lives and livelihoods of billions of people by the continued emission of carbon.
My sentence is the longest since the Second World War for peaceful #CivilDisobedience, and the reason is obvious.
Stopping the burning of #fossilfuels at the speed needed involves challenging the most powerful #political and #corporate interests. With the rise of a #climate denier to the US presidency, this situation has never been more urgent.
Support Roger's Work
Since founding Extinction Rebellion in 2018, I have been the UK's most successful climate campaigner. I set up the largest climate civil disobedience organisation in the Western world.
At the time of my imprisonment, I was doing vital international networking to bring people together and fundraising for the global resistance movement we need to stop the terror that is being imposed upon us.
The world is going to go over 2 °C in the next decade.
Let's be in no doubt about what will happen: appalling suffering and injustice beyond imagination.
At the same time, precisely because of this dire situation, there is enormous potential to build a #global revolutionary #movement to create new, revitalised democracies as the #alternative to the #fascism waiting in the wings. This is the most crucial moment in history - and it requires serious money to #build solid organisational #structures. I am at the centre of these efforts.
I am aiming to raise £50,000 while I’m in prison - and I’m asking for your help.
Help Reach the £50k Goal
This is not the time to pretend this money is just for another #campaign. Those days have gone. Think of what you could give and then double it again. Remember, it won’t be worth much in a decade, will it? Give whatever you can and please share this fundraiser with five friends.
I may be in prison for a while, but I am committed to spending this time in my cell, supporting movements in any way I can. This is my life. Thank you so much for your support.

@freemo CAPITALISM THE WORD - A MOMENTARY REVISIT
I like this video clip and replying to it with you here because he mentions #Capitalism and "#Capitalist #System" adding "broadly defined" right after in the sentence to show he's Capitalism in the broad sense - which I think is a good way to say it and define it broadly so that someone doesn't take too much offence or inaccuracy from it being said.
(More below but I'm not asking you for more on that, just a rounding off for me and seals the deal on the word or it's popular usage).
⭐ BOOST IF YOU LIKE THE EDUCATION FACTOR FOR OTHERS ⭐
So also without something appended I am totally forgiving now to anyone using it without that or without any subset / type of Capitalism because even after we talked about it, it was still unclear or hardly possible to separate it in the modern sense (or became so today) and not far at all from what people mean it despite the nuances.
So at most I might call it "Modern Capitalism" or as Rogers said "Capitalism, broadly defined" to define the Capitalism today because even after our non-short talk about it, we still got to the same-ish points where it was still unclear and more towards what less-nuanced people mean.
So I wanted to say I'm forgiving of people since the non-harmless / non-accumulative sense of the many other problematic things related to Capitalism today hardly exists, not many examples , or not practiced / relative to the today.
(Not asking you for more on that, for me a rounding off and seals the deal on the word or it's popular usage)
⭐ BOOST IF YOU LIKE THE EDUCATION FACTOR FOR OTHERS ⭐

Title: 💬 Am I A Political Prisoner (Q&A)
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:
https://qoto.org/web/tags/freeschool
#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.
