Gary Public Transit Corporation rolling out expanded bus, bikeshare services this spring

"The Cycle219 previously made bicycles available for rent through a mobile app at four hubs in Gary's Miller Beach and Downtown areas, and this year the GPTC plans to add at least two more. Plans for hubs at University Park near Indiana University Northwest and another at Calumet College of St. Joseph in Whiting have been finalized"

#Fediverse Failure ... People *must* build & invest in people, if it's about #Freedom. Else IT FAILS 100% like everything we see without people helping people!

Involving other people into your life is what is missing to help solve all the small things you'll never do alone - that's the TLDR.

I also mention Richard Stallman and other examples along the way because I respect him (adn you) - but could anyone in any movement not do the people work and be successful...

NO. 100%.

As far as I know (and asked most people) nobody is doing the people work like a niche waiting to happen... (ever get get that DONATE button only under "How you can help"?)

For a movement it's obvious that it is about people not even toilet paper money in 2years time ticking away it's value in the banks loaning it behind you back!...

But NOBODY wants to do this work even with that said... even the contact button will not get you a person sometimes that will work together with you to see if you say anything - UNLESS by chance you're this expensive thing we just happen to want right now! And even then you're discarded

☑️ PEOPLE HAVE 0 WORTH NOW.

So TODAY it's more about machines unfortunately....
Your website included if nobody is really behind them to check out your fans - and for those that reply only the paranoid behind site is there - made by people pretending they want attention or progression with people.

That's the main part done...

#Disclaimer over NOW LET US KICK TO PIECES the above so you hopefully realise and make a start on your NEW LIFE.

➡️ THE AIM:
➡️ WHAT'S YOUR REAL JOB IN LIFE... ?
To find something more than the casual entertainment or '#job' searching constantly, the passing time in a bit of #education - ton of rabbit-hole #politics and then quit out back to every day job and family... going nearly nowhere. Feeling like you might be growing a child but realise it's no better than your own desperate life seeking meaning in yet another mouth to feed with #fairytale stories built to be broken and then an agree look at you, around 18 or earlier - TRAITOR YOU ARE! (too many disney films will do that to you)

This is basically like a Twitter #Lifestyle of using Fediverse... under-appreciating the whole reason(s) we're here.

I don't under-estimate financial troubles you have and stupidity dumping all your money in a child the #state owns but by not spiraling out from your family, you're not even helping the finances or your child either (even that needs people behind it and even some people will do it for free ---> even if that is not the only main goal all the time and can involved paid people like I said with #Stallman - have a mixed tier of people who love what they do not all out #GNU / unpaid and not all out #paid by Google / BLING ).

Actually your usage is less than being on Twitter sometimes if your friends are not here or you're not planning to do anything but use this place for going to #FOSS a few times a year (which is nice - try cram in holiday and education in 3days great).

Without more people together working DAILY / weekly with what they have already, what they do already etc TOGETHER, then we can't do this #freedom stuff AT ALL. It's not just a yearly thing or temporary browse and virtue-signal click...

Hey #Techies - yeah you too - all the good code comes to an end and even in the trash 🗑️ once you've re-written it a million times and then they block an internet pipe or add something in browsers to change goal-posts or re-write something in phones (all happened before right?).

On some level there is always someone else controlling all this and that can be reached and stopped. #Mesh is a good idea but even still people are are they learning how to communicate other than "oh wow, look at this technology - err... ok been there done that - fucking weirdos" after 1 message.

We all have a lot of shit and need help with baggage -do politely pick and choose but do not ignore (do listen and read and get the feeling if genuine).

The enemy's will is too strong elsewhere to ignore the 99% for your 'saving time' and 'I'm busy' excuses while I see what your activity is like from your profile !
Yeah!
Our will is not matching their will so thing we do gets taken down quicker than we have got each other as friends.
Just as "users" we will lose and just get rounded up.

OK ARE YOU GAY AND FRISKY
OR SOMETHING ABOUT 'RELATIONSHIP' WITH ME - CUM ON

#Tinder is not a great example (by far) but imagine people can go as far as sex from just messaging and for us that could be just as great to work on #projects / find each other / space to do something / create from our own suggestions / accommodate each other right? (not sex)

BUT OH MY JOB AND FAMILY ARE ENOUGH! NOOOOOO
There is little real mutuality there and people are not in it to win it (win freedom).

My people, please just don't carry on doing the same $tate games mostly and expect the #shitshow you're paying for to stop or even beg for mercy -

STOP THAT FUCKING BEGGING SHIT - DON'T TRY TO USE LOGIC AND REASONING AGAIN WITH PROFESSIONALLY CRUEL PAID PEOPLE - IT'S UNINTELLIGENT TO GO BACK TO THEM... AND DECADES NOW...

THEY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WORK, YOUR 100% GREAT REASONS - OVER AND OVER. WHICH THEY SIMPLY YAWN AT AND CONTROL - OR NEXT TIME AROUND WILL CHANGE IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS.

EFFORTS FAILS 100% like that other than together daily exploring more here to up ourselves (and other things with it but not bucketting water from boats with holes pre-drilled in the bottom and sold to you).

Don't wait for your job to fail before you do something about something... or banks to hold your money and not take it while your busy thinking the same number on your bank account statement is actually the same in 1 year (even if the number is).

These are professional bastards you're dealing with, and thought of maaany things...

They are not even listening to your begging while riding their yachts or what you think they really do apart from accumulate and spend on crap.

YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE "YOU AND ME" NOT STATE

Across everything you need to take care in order for all of it to be repaired slowly but surely (doesn't have to be all-in now but how useful it is to have one more willing person around or extra hands).

=====================
OK WHAT'S THE ANSWER AGAIN BUDDY? (YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL BAD AND BULLYING ME ALREADY!!)
=====================

So, what you do already is great, but try picking up the best of them/us here on Fediverse, or even just me to test it and leave a comment how I failed - this gives meaning - some meaning to you

Jump some hashtags and direct message people... and make contact happen...

REMEMBER:
Your 'nice' family and colleagues usually give NO SHITS and are not into doing anything other than "things for the money" as relative baseline to you and your "relationship" - which are not the way to fix anything long-term...

WHY MONEY NO SOLVE MI PROBLEMO?
because all money is #Debt see and increasingly given out loans de-bases all our existing value and dilutes our efforts out of existence (imagine mixing water with real juice - after a while it's just water).

VALUE PROPOSITION HERE?
So we're all proper people and proper value in many ways (we can't avoid that even if we lie a bit or exaggerate). It takes a lot of effort to fake it and even then doesn't work! So even if there are some shit people we're going to have to kick in online it's still more than doable and learning curves to make thing a bit forgivable... and no keys to my Lexus is ever going to be given let's face it.

(again YOUR family and other 'Trust' don't work great AND OFTEN they don't give a fuck if you tried convincing them already 100 times! About #religion, about #waste, #petrol, #war, buying crap... Lots of us are leaving family as we speak I'm sure...)

YOU NEED TO...

Work how I want / we want (yes it's not just you but others so it's also a balance of me AND YOU - but after taking the time looking at the profile we can do more I'm sure or call it 'attempted' - leave a note in their "NOTE" section to see who you already tried with).

Literally aim to work together from the very start and find that #magic #combination between you, will appear - do try like your life / our lives depended on it Batman/kindperson!

If you're too #comfortable / #bourgeois you're probably going to move on from this post and say you have work in the morning and turning the heating up full blast.

But if you know - then every person who tries or writes a post like this DESERVES to be found out and used. You strike gold instantly from persistence / dedication or passion - whatever I have that money can't buy.. even if you don't see it yet. It's there.

If you think you can only pay people to work and expect happiness through the state relationship taxing your asses for #war...
YOU'RE WRONG!
WE SEE IT ALREADY!

History I think proves it over and over... It's nice for a few month (at the beginning) and then it gets boring or you get kick out when they downsize... whatever.

Do the fucking maths - they are raking it in Billions AND 'somehow' it also gets worse the more they get. Hmmm - See how this dark 'magic' works proportionately with money and them making their own rules?
Yes let's hope the job changes something FUCK OFF!

(NOT ABUSING YOU)

The real work is done without paying the $tate that #oppresses you and when people do it anyway for #free why not use them #mutually?

Then you can consider monetising it. For now keep things as they are but increment growing #relationship #relativity between people FIRST.

Your family and money-related relationships are not the way! (because even they don't even work great or you think they do until you talk politics for 10mins! ------> Go ahead and try AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT / IF THERE IS REAL CHANGE!)

What #RMS and other people here (yes even on Fediverse!) are not doing is the same elsewhere - not increasing peer-to-peer / horizontal work. ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ #P2P #SEEDING IF YOU WILL ALLOW THAT SIMILARITY...

So for example if #RichardStallman himself can't do the work, then at least he could organise the fans a bit to do it themselves (a bit like an official forum helps others as volunteer) in a pyramid to provide help TO THE MANY but also work in a more personal way more Mastodon based.
That is the next level after that forum style messaging like the actual work to to fulfill more of everyone's wants and even let them dream a bit).

ALL these people getting followed currently on Fediverse ARE NOT doing working together... Maybe I will list the best of them... but I don't even want to advertise them as they don't provide much and will even disappoint you after some 'very nice posts' we all have enough of. You want to touch the stars and be more like one (even without the #Gary #Glitter).

And then even celebrate a new us each time.... as fans, as unique people! That is the golden egg or whatever! 🥚 <--- need a golden emoji egg please on the double!

For example I'm happy to organise and talk to #RMS fans even let them comment on me - we can stop anytime too!

A more balanced way (a practical togetherness not just for geeks / admin / #Techies) or even stop-start can happen to test things but I feel like I need a bit of 'official' backing to get the some "weirdos" together (even weirdos can't accept other weirdos these days, that's how bad it is) so it becomes more X-Men style togetheness- even if I'm the guy in the wheelchair called Charles :)
I'll take that! ♿

It's like totally proportional that if other people don't really matter anymore

...or only matter when part of a $tate or $ubsidiary relation$hop (I mean #relationship excuse the previous typo)... then what else does it lead to...

more fascism of course! (hierarchical authoritarian #government) right?
That grows from you doing near-nothing to the above.

It can almost only lead there. And so we see it happen - #fire 🔥 everywhere and even people comment the "oh no not again"

It's like smelling their own finger and expecting different (ok that monkey video is funny) but common now, enough watching the #shitshow hashtags already.

🔥 = #Trump #Musk #Zuckerberg #Bezos #Banks #Bank #Debt $ #Business
#USPol #UKPol ETC

AND START MAKING YOUR OWN HASHTAGS!

‘Dancing in the street’: Some Wall Street banks are triumphant heading into Trump era

Trump hasn’t yet returned to office, and the biggest banks keep notching wins.

🔸Hard-fought rules to require the biggest banks to boost financial buffers that protect against losses could be substantially watered down.

🔸A separate plan to force banks to lower fees when consumers use debit cards will take more time to complete,
delaying a potential hit to banks’ bottom line.

🎈And some of the biggest antagonists against Wall Street serving in the Biden administration,
-- such as #Rohit #Chopra at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s #Gary #Gensler,
will be out of government on Day 1 of the Trump administration.
⚠️“A lot of bankers, they’re like dancing in the street,”
said #Jamie #Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
the biggest U.S. bank by assets, at a conference last week in Peru.

“Years and years of regulations” have curtailed access to loans and other forms of credit, he said.

Initiative to decarbonize Gary steel industry

"Steel production is responsible for roughly 7-9 percent of global CO2 emissions, largely due to its reliance on coal and traditional blast furnace processes. Regionally, the steel industry is also a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions...we seek to document the ideas being pursued to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of steel production and to learn what challenges remain"

garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-
OpenAI最近公佈了一個令人興奮的新演示,展示了一個聲音角色,具有性感的嘆息聲音,據說要讓你想起《她》中Scarlett Johansson的AI代理角色。然而,今天,由於許多人注意到這一巧合,OpenAI取消了類似ScarJo的聲音,宣稱相似性純粹是巧合。然而,現在人們開始看穿這一把戲。Gary Marcus表示OpenAI董事會已經看清了Sam的行為並希望新的OpenAI董事會認識到Sam的行為不符合非營利組織幫助人類的承諾。
+ 這篇文章指出了OpenAI在新演示上的爭議,並提出了對董事會應對這種行為的看法。
+ Gary Marcus對OpenAI董事會反應明確,認為他們應該對Sam的行為負責。
#OpenAI #Gary Marcus #人工智慧

The OpenAI board was right

Even on little things, Sam is not consistently candid.

#Gary Farro is reportedly a bit irritated w/ #Blanche, #Trump's lawyer. Blanche suggests that Farro opened up a shell corporation, & Farro bites back: “I don’t open up shell corporations. I open up LLC accounts.” Blanche is directing jurors' focus to what #MichaelCohen did -- that is, effectively start a shell corporation that was used to pay #StormyDaniels. It’s a way to attack Cohen through Farro, making the former fixer sound deceptive & potentially criminal.
