looking for somewhere to crash (germany) :boosts_ok_gay: 

@CrystalPixie and I are immigrating to Germany and are looking for somewhere to stay, ideally in the vicinity of the Düsseldorf metro area, until we can secure a rental.

We're currently searching for a rental for the start of March, but we'll be there in the next week or so and would be willing to pay for somewhere to crash until we can find a more permanent place. Maybe asking for <= 2 weeks to start and going from there? (Please PM for dates, we'd rather not publish specifics until out of the US.)

About us: we're both trans; I'm 27 (it/she) and Lain is 26 (fae/it). We're both actively studying German, but will likely still rely on English for a lot of things. Only bringing our two backpacks and a few suitcases. If you're able to have us, let's get to know each other!

Thanks, and please boost <3

@wjmaggos I consider myself very tech-savvy, but even I struggled with the complexity and UX of Matrix and Element. Maybe there are better clients than Element, but if I can't understand it, how are people like my mom supposed to?

So I'd say things have to be super simple to use, and that only really brings Signal to mind, even if it's centralized.

@Yuvalne consider #NextcloudTalk (included in @nextcloud / #Nextcloud as hosted by @monocles and @Stuxhost ) as well as #JitsiMeet (which is even easier to #SelfHost.

If you only need 1:1 #Videocalling, consider #WebCall as a secure alternative.

All 3 use #WebRTC and don't require any shitty #Client #Installation whatsoever: They work from any modern #Browser like #Firefox!

Trans people seem more diverse / mutli-skilled / stay true to themselves... 

@SirTapTap Hi
Just some thought / what do you think...
1- Trans people are more active whereas others almost gave up on their identity... perhaps because they are constantly working / battling for their individual identity...

2- Saw you mention democracy in profile and thought I'd ask for some examples / efforts of it as I'm also aligned probably towards that but perhaps it means too many things or it's almost like "ok what to do about democracy / how to improve it" so maybe I could learn something in asking what you do.

===============
DEEPER ON POINT 1
===============

1- Trans powers seems a lot more infinite power than normal people - maybe from working on their identity and choices a lot more than bland people who almost gave up on their identity and even gave it to others!...

Just saying that as it seems trans people are more diverse / multi-skilled / stay true to themselves....

Said with respect to all...

James M.

I'm looking for work as a Senior Software Engineer. Network programmer since 1990, with a Web focus. I've implemented many protocols and designed some too.  Worked on early RFCs; wrote seminal tutorials on Web tech; wrote the first anti-censorship proxy, CGIProxy, in 1996. I have a ton of experience in many different business contexts, including running a small USG-funded NGO from 2011-2019. My main languages are Go, JavaScript (Node.JS/client-side), Perl, Python, and Rust, but I learn quickly and can pick up other tech as needed. Good at teaching. Record of solving hard problems creatively. Can manage if needed, but I'd rather be doing technical work.

Open to permanent or contract, full or part time. Need to work from home. Ideally I'd work in public interest technology (PIT), but can do corporate work too. Available immediately.

DM me here, email james@jmarshall.com, or Signal at jamesmarshall.02 .

Thank you for any leads! 😊

Human barriers... Breaking through is like #ChickenAndEgg / #GiveAndRecieve whatever we can... 

I'm looking for way to break through nicely the human barriers... and release us all !

Kind there...
like

What comes first though?

1/ Seeing enough in one's self and other beings... then giving ?

2/ Needing Proof / testimony of others it can work... then receiving ?

(I guess is really both and trying whatever we can).

To give and receive whatever we can individually else be used by larger forces.

I want/need more activity on Mastodon and we all need more accounts here. While related they're not the same thing. More than the sum of the parts. A few of us posting a lot doesn't make up for too many barely posting anything. The latter may consist of many biding their time, possibly hoping for more people like them to follow and boost. Unfortunately, there may be too many waiting for others to make the first move.

💰 Money for you thoughts / constructive points...? 💰 

Would you take money for your thoughts as 15min disposable audio recording about what you think the points are needed constructively towards healthier life / relativity between people ?

(might take more than 15mins for you to edit or record a longer things using vocaroo.com - just so it doesn't sound like just 15mins)

:boost: 🚀 Boost if you would consider it for yourself or some part of it.

Is it a good idea to promote what people think and perhaps make a text file mini-points version from it (audio as just the medium / disposed of immediately after notes made - indeed some trust needed and for those willing)...

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@freeschool @invidious

In the past at times i have been harsh about your pushiness on certain requests. But i have recently realized it was most likely you just being passionate about your view of a better world and perhaps getting frustrated about people not getting on board and working with you to bring it to fruition. That is an understandable reaction and in the end your goals are and were worthy of discussion and merit. So just wanted to say that.

That said I suspect if you took that passion and perhaps tweaked how you approach people a bit, you could get much better results. Some of it is just working with peoples short comings and not anything wrong you did yourself. For example long messages will automatically exclude 95% of your audience and cause most of your views, however valid, to go unread. Cant fault you for putting time into expressing yourself fully but regardless of how people **should** respond we live in a world where should isn't is. If you adjusted your message to be more easily digestible along with a few tweaks to how you otherwise interact with people I think it could go a long way at getting you a better response and backing to your goals.

If any of you are in the Amazon ebook ecosystem and have been considering leaving, Amazon has announced that they will be disabling their Transfer to USB functionality next week, so you have 1 week to liberate your library before then! You don't need to rush out and buy a new eReader this week, but you will want to get your purchases migrated to ePUB before you lose that ability altogether. 🧵 for how-to...

@lavaeolus America's pre-eminence in science is suddenly gone. This Dutch news clip draws attention to the impact on climate science. There is a mad scramble to salvage as much as possible of the climate data in American hands, before it is completely gone.

To be crystal-clear:
Topics like #TransRights #Trans #Gender #Queer are no afterthoughts, they are the foundation of the whole endeavor.

#SafeguardingResearch started with me (@lavaeolus) cloning GitHub-repos of 'Mapping the Gay Guides' (with their consent) on January 15th.
After that, I asked my buddy @micr0 to write a scraper for academia.edu, inspired by @bookandswordblog, to download as many things mentioning #transgender #nonbinary #intersex #queer etc. as possible.

The rest is history.

Asking good people to make more good people, but not quite getting there... #Quote + My life aims explained... 

from a measurably good person 🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 @freemo showing well what I mean:

:airquote: "I agree that to really improve it requires one on one , , and between people.

The only thing to keep in mind is QOTO, and the greater around it, has a mission that has always been very STEM oriented.

What you propose (@freeschool) is great, and if you ever do it ill be happy to support you in what little ways my bandwidth might allow.

But ultimately as a place with a mission that is ultimately where our focus has and always will .

I'm always happy for a chat when I can find the time, I appreciate your views." :airquote:

====================

( is with permission and used to show the many similar DM's I've made to many similar higher levels of intellect or those responsible for instances / tech or even a conscious soul *anywhere* on the .

Many can't even reply to these "bettering-people" parts of messages (Freemo is always good at replying) and even people answering are ironically not about the "not-just-machines?" parts - and only the parts they want.

I constant see measurably that have some decency and morals, and want for it - but not putting in the time. Even they are going for some very aims of bettering people according to their own sites or profile descriptions! But question why you even message them (not a good start / shows bad faith from beginning).

=========================

Below explains more why this quote is here and perhaps why life is not working in a longer sense of nobody solving it (Tech can be as the assistant while people do the people work but not expecting Tech to do the people work)....

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS POST - WILL CLEAN UP AS I RE-DO / IMPROVE BUT MOSTLY ALL IS HERE...

=========================

...And a minor play on words for the word "lie" helps me start to explain things hopefully more memorably for any reader...

To help me explain the seemingly 'strange' phenomenon of making better people daily as a daily habit, I decided to added a hashtag on the the word above (in the quote)...

⬆️ Did you notice that? ⬆️

...This helps me start to explain that I think all the code / machines / external in the world is really becoming an increasing to people and measurably so as results - directly and indirectly...

And even if people can also "lie" or choose to be bad, people can't do it so often if they themselves don't believe in it . AND THAT IS CRUCIAL.

With tech you can do a lot more or a lot quicker or lie about it differently as a cover for many more reasons.

I can plug your code into other things and even run it all day and the tech doesn't know the difference - becoming a horror of code eventually (even if it's great now) like a horror of the cartoon series as too many transformers have been added together and didn't know when to do more quality code and are lop-sided code production became (forgive a bit of poetic license).
It was always going to be human from over-doing machine code even without those putting it together deliberately in their own order as another weapon. We see from enough that we had lots of chances in life for not using things for bad or solving other things, but we have to assume all tech is going to be used for same bad eventually and in many more ways. The wars definitely didn't stop and computers are largely part of that and human ignorance.

So while I'm not saying "don't create anything" and not saying that "bad people will never exist after this". still it's better people, practice and do more regularly the examples we wish to see which means less of this abuse, or more checks, and limits it to individuals who even if they are bad have much harder work for them to maintain that bad which things like Tech helps them to do easier and even hide behind.

⬆️ Can I rest my case or do you disagree totally what need more time? (people or tech)

That's why Tech can be MUCH more of a lie than people lying to each other.
Because has nearer-0 ability to and no matter how much you tell (or hammers of code) not to be used badly on others someone else can insert it to do bad.

'Bad' also in another sense that depends on two people or people in the room respecting those personalities and souls of the people not just a rigid "standard" set of rules even of a moral kind because there are 100 ways people can do things and achieve same result still good for everyone. Binary fascism or just inaccuracy from listing all of attributes / we're not just a number or 1 category of people as "White" etc etc...

Tech is not good at customising in these ways or that between people (tech becomes the incorrect focus instead)..

Humans learn from Humans... and adapt too...

People have some ability to feel / see what's happening and learn to care... so once people play that game a bit more (even in business) then I'm sure more will care and share more often too and start to accept change of priority (people over profit sometimes) because it makes sense for them (and not needing to screw everyone all the time)..

In the non-physical or non-hardware sense the modern day continues as on people today (it didn't stop since WW2) as the virtualised and (stuff from distance used to cheat people for / ) so it only makes sense for us to slowly align back to ourselves / teach ourselves better politics between us... so we don't end up with the same leaders or snakes and equivalent such as:

❌ Linux adfarms 🔨 or
❌ Mastodon google links 🔨 :google:

You see adfarms or google youtube links also serve them from us.
I asking @Gargron years back to make some posts even unofficially / personally to say 'you can also use... (anti links below)

yewtu.be/ or
redirect.invidious.io/
nyc1.iv.ggtyler.dev/feed/popul

...so instead of direct links on Fediverse we use @invidious links as just a suggestion to millions of users (Invidious was working for years but recently down) Following what seems we all came to Fediverse for avoiding (feeding the bad guy / bad tech).

Not showing google adverts indirectly or by proxy is just 1 half.

The other half is helping people use open source Invidious which didn't seem a priority for even as a mention (not just future betterment of Mastodon as a potential feature or plugin) for his or users (which OK it's not all on him but he seems more against it a bit which was strange).

A lot of it good things overlaps (or naturally do) which is why we're here, but more on that in another post and just an example - not hating).

People can learn and see better IF WE WORK ON IT.. and see who doesn't want too. Tech is all so covered. You'd trust TechIncX but not trust me.

⬇️ EXAMPLE ⬇️
HOW YOUR PRODUCTIVITY / WORK IS MADE BETTER WITH PEOPLE / USERS INVOLVED

People told me to install Ubuntu / etc but TO START it took a nice person to do a walk-through to help me start.
People are not always "lame" or dumb... it's motivation + human brain(s) needing to do computer work and co-operate to get things done 🔁 (either for themselves 🔁 or the other and both 🔁 in the end).

THIS is all part of it (and not just leaving about leaving ISO somewhere on the web for people to download and stop at hurdle 1 or 2, or poor documentation).

⬆️ THIS help (above) the best 'forever' work in my eyes which turns any I.T. or operating system into more human-used and co-created work (measurably).

People "hands-down" need people much more than more tech. So in this case you get more installs and win against your opposition purely because you took the time with people. You find a lot more other things at the same time (bugs, places of improvement, beginner's opinions, expert advice in other fields etc)

The best "slowly-but-surely" work is work with people more often rather than 100 more tech and mini-Google's destined to be eaten / bought up by Google or similar.

No matter how non-profit you or QOTO intends to be (all is still profit in some way) the state is not stupid to make fair containers or keep things fair / not pulling the plug somewhere / unruggable.

The million stories daily from all companies or state itself (that we are still learning) we need to step out of completely sometimes and see further that as entities people themselves (*the individual* container) holds better their own values in themselves than tech as main reason and with others too this formidable in a different way.

Risk of deception is always there but more often clearer in people over time rather than a general tech extension replaced by another head of snakes always leaving people quite empty in their wake and us having no choice over it. Sorry for the vibes but all crosses everything.

❓ Even on individual level, doesn't life seem too empty or over-reliant on Tech? ❓

❓ Isn't it like we have to have something switched on draining energy? ❓

People who played Super Nintendo or PlayStation in younger years (or still now) know that Linux PlayStation can be the same when you power down, empty and alone (again). Just passing time into yes a seeminglt 'perfect' 'logical' machine.

But people are possibly in worse position if not improving others in any deeper sense and create themselves or others as "just another user" or another "crazy genius tired broken down admin"
(like developer maybe who is making the best thing since mobile operating system but so terrible as person or in people skills).

People are measurable and repairable and we can be accountable without needing to punish, but hardly without more deliberate time given or as we do things with that integrated.

What / who is behind the bigger pipe of tech is an increasing very false provider / less true to people things as that root trust is changeable to some extent as things can be bought and sold.

Something that might work today later doesn't or is over-done too often. all while people are left almost helpless or not helped in the personal sense of enjoying and learning directly with people or frankly having a normal kind of regular "therapy of life" during our struggling time "repairing" ourselves as a therapy instead of thinking focusing on more code is the way or doing things many don't understand on a simpler level.
Co-creating life and being more exposed to more types of "strangers" helps us be friends with the work even with a bit more of a measured approach and making time for it.

Various scales of lying means it's either people not being genuine or people not understanding what's behind the tech (US storage space and traffic as basis for everything able to be switched off / snooped on / )
not to mention what your servers run on (unless you're not outsourcing it and )...

...and then seeing that anyway... (away from the usual hate for companies):

... Simply heading for each other's fellowship and company, using tech as only a basic medium for maximising growing of each other, is much better way for incrementing trust and helping others do the same (while even some tech projects continue but hopefully more people orientated).

Because we have enough tech do we not? We can di whatever we want mostly (talk, text, call, video, audio etc)

Tech can't do much more for us now to make better people... Or can it?

Or do you think we need more to make good people suddenly?

Past more videos and more media. I personally need people who are failing me all over the place. Not really code other than very basic maintenance of the existing.

Only people can actually do the people work WITH other people... !... else they are left for dead / alone almost and with uncaring / partnership penning them increasingly all the while ( is instantly nearer than you think it is once things switch off).

Isn't it about people developing people, not just machines... ?

=====================
Fuck this was a good post. Right?

Keep it. Bookmark it. Happy to amend.

Better yet get in touch and let's work on (better people...) more often or as higher primary focus than only FOSS or STEM.

( yes even at the same time as whatever you're doing as long as you're not all-in machines ).

People for the priority (and then everything else) to help people finding their place and even free work !

Attentions are largely on machines - and that's largely perfectly playing into those pumping it and scraping all the new 'useful' discoveries. We're losing that way.
