Inventory of the stickers I collected at #39c3. Some go on my laptop, some into my collection, some for my children to play with and the rest to various sticker drops
Please help me add altText, if you spot a sticker that there is no altText for, or if you have a different description, please add it in the replies and I'll update the #altText
Reading the speech @pluralistic held at #39c3 is an amazing way to start the the new year.
A great way to calibrate your political compass.
"Let's call time on enshittification. Let's seize the means of computation. Let's build the drop-in, free, open, auditable alternatives to the services and firmware we rely on."
Let's fucking go.
#2026 = TRYING TO SOLVE THINGS BY MAKING FRIENDS!
AND seeing you wrote the best #Fediverse post about Forging Friendship etc.... again!
This post as example: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/115819535296270881
Or my posts related to #Jitsi (audio chat if you want!)
#NewYear like every yea...
TRYING TO SOLVE THINGS BY MAKING FRIENDS! e.g. Mastodon + Audio chats = 🔁
Happy New Year! 🥂🎉 It’s my year of writing, and I’m open for freelance work in the #TTRPG space. Game designer, writer, part-time historian. Need weird history, deep lore, Mythos, pulp, horror, cyberpunk, or smart design with teeth (and on time)? Slide into my DMs or toss a sending spell. 🎲✍️
Discovered this french-language zine from Brussels while in Lille on tour last month. Similar to The Counterforce, an anarcho-punk contribution based zine, comes out every month with 6 issues. They release the PDF online, so I'll be printing copies and distroing them in Montreal from now on!
Any new punks/labels/distros/etc join the Fediverse lately?
Hey everyone! I want to get hold of an 808 clone but really don't know which to choose. Any recommendations? I don't really care about the sequence unless it can be synched with MIDI (MTC or MMC).
Boosts welcome
#rythmbox #808
@Alice Then I discover the damned written instructions do not include a diagram of the (unlabeled) control panel they refer to... so I have to cue up a video to see what the heck they are talking about.
UK Digital ID will be one of the biggest stories of 2026. And ORG is ready to fight 🦾
This year, we gave expert written and oral evidence to the Select Committee. We highlighted the risks that these plans pose to privacy and civil liberties.

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.
There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...
➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles"
"Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".
Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.
➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)
💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question
We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.
So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.
#Lists are always good.
#CommonSense #List of #Principles
= #Answer for #Ambiguous #words or #phrases in #Debate
"Common sense" is a thought-stopping phrase and concept. It is the same as saying, "Just go with cultural traditions which support prejudice and oppression because those are familiar and comfortable."

When you see someone appealing to "common sense" when defending prejudice/bigotry, they're encouraging people to suspend thought or criticism that might challenge prejudice, and instead, retreat unthinkingly to the comfortable inertia of the social norms which establish the prejudice in question.

I’m a bad person with a short temper, who occasionally realizes his anger should be turned on himself.
But thank you for your kindness.
Freedom pioneer. All things towards #Freedom.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#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 🔁

#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.
