Childhood memories at the Arcades in the 90's (playing Street Fighter) by Alex Valle (long-time master)
Alex is one of those seen playing in old videos and beginning competitions but actually I liked how upfront he was or his talking style. I did the audio, though visually explaining it was actual good (usually waste of bandwidth but audio is main thing)
It's a good segment relating to human interaction. The times when we were young, looking back from game release 30years later (playing in his teens) when games mattered most and what really didn't really matter was who we played with! (unless they beat us savagely!)
The game was more the focus and I think this is partially what is has lost it's life... or could do with much more of in life somehow (whatever we like, like the Street Fighter and nostalgia / history of new types or games and gameplay was the main thing and made a whole scene and excitement around it)
Audio edit (Video link below also)
+ Notes (from 29.50-44.08)
https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=mOYNHUE91Y0&t=29m50s
Video Notes (the rest is generally ok only if you're a fan but these are specific time points of Human Interaction and story from an original player is best even for me):
NOTES START:
He's a bit famous so that helps interaction but later mentions just talking between players at the beginning of matches also
Childhood memories follow and parts that were good...
1st thought: "What is this game?"
Meeting lots of strangers (at 7/11 in this case but for everyone it was similar but a different place to play)
Talking to people sometimes before playing... Having to interact.. meet acquaintances
A daily thing sometimes, for young people especially back then... a kind of social networking!
Didn't matter what they looked like, or their age, or where their came from, if you like the same thing as I do, we just had some fun.
Didn't even have to play, could watch (like we do YouTube!)
Crowd was attraction in itself, young people like 'us'
Machines in a lot of places; corner shops, food outlet, post offices with back room; anywhere almost with space and good money maker
Making small trips or walking to places was 'a thing' when you were young... for the sweets, to kill time... play arcade, meet friends etc...
Interactions kept things going,
Also reading the room and knowing when people didn't want to be approached.
(I personally remember hard to take losing and even older person pressing my buttons borderline bullied!)
Atmosphere mostly respect and skill (each place had it's own atmosphere, sometimes there was music or it was in basement type place, smoking was allowed back then, other arcades like Daytona like a fun zone or just someone hoarding arcades with many Space Invaders, Pacman, or airplane shooting games originally)
The 'highscore' / 1 player type games were first and then suddenly it was like a brand new phenomenon to play other players and beat 'em ups, control characters with an art of fighting WOW O_O
Breaking the ice using the game and discovering of it... being excited to play generally helps
getting a read on your opponent,
getting information by talking :)
people not have played for years and coming back into being interested or just talking about nostalgia / childhood history
Street Fighter seems to have some history even more than some Comic Con stuff
Hearing about people's story how they started. kinda this video itself
You never know when you'll cross paths again or where you'll see them around, so being friendly can helped say hi outside of gaming, maybe even making time to meet and play again the next day...
Maybe being introduced to other peoples/friends watching, you introducing your friend to others
SUMMARY:
So that's the similar story of childhood I think many had and puts all the points we can relate top.
I liked the "human interaction" part early on (for game and friends)
This segment ends around 43.51 (wasn't much more about Human Interaction and as I'm not being into the newer 3D looking games I can't recommend it being useful but do keep the game+people in mind... the newer games totally changed the 2D game almost but I'm sure new people playing arcade might have similar experience also).
I wish for more interaction like this... and even think about online gaming (for this game specifically because of the scene from back then)... wonder if it's on PC???????

EVERYTHING IS A SCAM!
OK JUST WANTED TO TL;DR SAY IT!
Everything evolved as 1 big scam / profit-orientated conquest / taxation scheme / war model etc...
Truth is mostly that (and even deliberately mixed)
Just didn't want to hide it and say it is possible from beginning (of whenever) and even more so now, it's just one big tangent of debt and hard to go back the branch we're on (my question 'how to end a Ponzi scheme' is difficult... or how to end the debt-based societies and what to to move it to FROM this point with a smoother curve and will of quite ignorant people ?'...
It's a hard one to swallow and nobody wants to talk about it.
Just have to admit the above ingredients all life 'exists' kinda = what we have now. And changing our patterns and habits is probably quite hard / unwanted.
As the curve goes down (as usual for each civilisation and relative to the wars) so our luxuries buys us a small window of die-hard move to do something... you got only 1 or 2 short here (even in years not much more).
AUDIO = Jamiroquai - Scam

They're not really coming for me. They're coming for you.
I'm just in the way,
- Congressman Matt Gaetz
I've got to create my way out...@AmiW
Video loops are one way...
possibly to be part of something bigger...? from scratch and using existing video perhaps... Ideas welcome as I have lots... but prefer less-commercial work / personally made stuff... happy to hear 'offer' (no money pls)
Treating others better (not easy if you're in a low position)
This often this is why people act the way they do as they are hurt or usually insecure
Someone training their dog the other day told me their dog bark because it's insecure of itself.
So while there is difficulty abd hard to hear the advice...
"Don't let pain cause you to treat other people poorly"
...it's about finding a better way and getting your way - basically about communicating that and exploring middle grounds.
Just my advice. (And yes I do wonder why this is important to me and probably I have nothing 'better' to do than try this since I don't know how to change the people who stop other people from evolving.)
Science fun for kids and adults
I kinda wish these were your videos instead of other people's I'll never talk to...

Video [Killing energy] vs. Audio [small filesize]
A bit of a comparison of static videos or any video that isn't needed/useful or the people or visual don't move much at all.
Even meetings / conferences / conversations I'd include and go for audio only.
Example: YouTube video with static image / cover art for conversation...
https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=H2I8cBpsUnc&t=1
(if you want to play don't play 857mb video, download and lay audio as it's only 67mb!)
Total media on YouTube needed = many Gb's [3/4/5?]
or let's work it out a bit
67mb Audio ~64kps [500k per minute]
+ 257mb /Video 360p
+ 857mb /MP4 Video 720p
+ 1500mb /MP4 Video 1080p
+ smaller 144p, 240p videos [xxx mbs)
+ video only files for each of above in MP4 AND WEBM!!!
+ example 118MB /WEBM + MP4 similar copy
+ audio only /multiple copies
+ example 140kbps
x2 (in MP4 AND WEBM audio only form)
Strangely this one didn't have 1080p BUT does have VIDEO ONLY lol so another 1.5gb on top just not the audio+video version which would be more!...
So just for 2 people talking.. this is the kind of #ecology madness FOR 1 VIDEO that is a real killer for ecology (and water shortages as data centres 'spring' up everywhere, encouraging more land grabs too and fortification of data)
POINTS OF CONTRAST
- you might think people might notice these things, ok me yes... but people easily don't notice also or just stick it on without verification of 'what the fuck is it doing to my bandwidth' and it's default to play at max res!
or even medium I don't use... 360p is for the way (if not audio as 1st gear!)
So it's fault of you and youtube perhaps... (haven't see where you can set global quality to lowest on YouTube, Invidious, PeerTube, Odysee etc!
Max 1080p in peertube for example is terrible even for normal videos, even for those that catch it still the processing of computer is stopping things being smooth or unbloated... unneeded watching for a few seconds or minutes and then "why is it so slow" and then "oh it's trying to download movie size DVD's for 1 youtube video" hmm good business that - WE NEED MORE DATA CENTRES !!
So if you watching inside small box or switching tabs while working - use audio or lower res - FANKS
Either way a big drain is happening and well we could help that.
SUGGESTIONS for service AND users
- the default settings [YouTube responsible]
- currently settings [User responsible]
both could be permanent / global / cookie / low first etc
- Multiple versions always end up bad
1080p + 720p + 360p + video only copies (MP4 + WEBM) + audio versions ... just crazy
all the time up and down streams.. every second of the day
x how users ?
x how videos ? !!!!!
gigabytes multiplied by x trillions of views and users
Other ways to say it:
-Bloat vs. Compact
-Static Video Image vs Only Audio stream
Will revisit this and perhaps merge, thanks

Hi everyone, wanted to humanise phase of humanity! So Jitsi audio or video chat is instant!.. let's talk individually or as a group aytime for me... I'm freeeeeeeeeee!
TEXT is not the greatest filter for human communication so I suggest occasionally back to audio chat (not even video) with someone you like the profile of
(or just me in this case!)
Now you may not always want human voice or video but contact mainly via text is almost a modern killer if you were to keep all those misunderstood emails and how often people didn't respond / ignored you because they 'felt' awkward or were not sure about you behind text.
If fact you might not even remember those emails unresponded and the time you put in to send it but sometimes it's like 20emails (reading/writing/askign again) for something 10mins would have sorted...
So it's the same for Mastodon perhaps but at least we know it was delivered here hoorah and see the profiles / interesting things to talk about!)
For most humans that can't do text or have done too much text-based filters (like in their job) they want to talk so this is a instant way I recommend and open source / safest way I know while being accessible by only browser (no reg / no signup or Big company)
The live talk is what we prefer even if we lost practise and direct adjustments are better instead of SMS to girlfriend type of signals which are interpreted based on mood perhaps and not being personal or polite as in person is more in person.
So try Jitsi for instant chat
https://meet.jit.si/chat123 <--- or change to any chatroom name
I offer you a bit of audio conversation with someone totally different perspective...
Do get in contact
... even if contact is by text to start with
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm interested in:
-Peer-to-peer
-Mutual interests...
-The world
- Giving back to humanity / community in the smaller and larger senses...
Just send me a message anytime...

How Big Tech Finds Your Exact Location -- Even When You're Hiding It
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CS5o2AFpEJ0
Video attached is edited from 13.41mins.
**************************
Summary / paraphrased
**************************
All people are victims when using a Google Android phone
Identifiers all track you and can triangulate position (google knows where each one of it's phones are) by these methods and cross-referencing them:
APPS with privileges (big pain) + IMEI of phone + IP address + MAC address of WIFI / Network adapter + Location (EXIF in pics, GPS data etc) + Browser fingerprints + profile cookies (1 login in for all?) + nearby WIFI + Google ID / AppleID / CAPTCHAS to check you...
A lot of stuff a Linux OS will solve AND some habits it might train you out of.
So for example VPN is good but being logged into accounts or sharing just pings your location, or while watching videos might reveal things or just many things together reveal you
including Cross device tracking (not just 1 device - things connect and pair together things)
MAINLY or good start is de-googling you existing phone because Google Login or Apples AppleID or whatever are the head of snake for identifying you and making things provable (the rest, even if you click is less provable 100% but they are slowly getting here to be able to do things later using 100% evidence).
2FA needs a google app <--- hence even de-googled phone means you need to install app even if you have a Linux phone.
That is why they push for 2FA so badly.
[edited: I got a comment that 2FA does NOT need a google app but it's becoming pushed more which means they will get their way if they want it. There are allegedly plenty of self-hosted options or are included with password managers... so I don't know maybe it's not a matter of time and can be a minor point.
**********************
ANY MORE ADVICE ?
**********************
If I'm wrong please let me know.
If you have a list of your own experience with de-google phone give review.
Help others do it and De-google?

Android is the Google's operating system... for mobiles?... 0_0
How to use a crazy-looking website?
or a website with too much info?
A simple tutorial...
If the website is giving too much data, lots of choice, etc ---> then it is for YOU also to think:
----> "Right too much info but what is it I want
-----> What do I like and can pick and choose
----> what are my own current projects and goals - can I match anything?
----> Can I do some tests / samples? Can I search keywords?
Find a way. It's in your power also.
***Even in the worst website****
(like freeschool.0id.org)
should be able to find your own direction or relativity and then get what you want and even learn more than you thought (like a book with a terrible cover!).
If you're not serious then you won't really get a serious answer.
Give it some time, keep the open a bit long and think about it.
I admit websites and interfaces vary and can be like being forced in something different but it can be like a personality (not the persons always as it's just technology) but with basic text and pictures words there you caan 'crack the code!' and they don't change that much considering most are similar just with different front end or colour scheme...
Overall I guess it's better to think why am I here, can I try a bit and then also contact them?
Also let someone guide you through their own 'house' or see it as history and even a bit of a relic to adventure
We can't assume standard lives or technology always! But the basic text and pictures are reassuringly there.
I write this because people seem to give up INSTANTLY on seeing lots of information (like what a website should do but too much... as well as summaries and super-short feel-good stuff)
If you met Einstein like I did (in my dreams) then you might see a messy desk as something actually positive and refreshing so you can expect smoething more interesting or even fireworks for thoughts instead of 'sterile mainstream' commercial version lacking any personality and playing it too safe.
Eintsein even used to keep a messy desk! (and not saying you can't change things once in a while).
For example on freeschool.0id.org/ you can also change view, like:
- list all posts
- category view
- random!
- picture slideshow view
- last 5 in each category
Make big companies PAY for FOSS that is not free for big companies!!! Lawyers UNITE!...
Business Opportunity for Free Software Lawyers:
- Get money from big companies
- Make liable existing people using FOSS without paying
- Rinse and repeat
Legally force companies using libraries without paying for FOSS... to pay!
WHY?
FOSS libraries used by big companies are now not paid for (near 0 more than paid).
Source code used by big companies are not paid for (near 0?).
Lawyers / FSF people -----> make them accountable
Money-maker for FOSS.
Ma$$ive companies use FOSS and don't pay... enforcing this and making sure they respect terms of download helps the cause out of it's paradox and systemic rape.
If they do not cheat, we will grow (and also not cheat ourselves).
The challenges of 'Free' when companies are making M@$$ P£0F1T$
Free Software needs to draw a line when it's not free AND enforce it same as they do).
See video where it's OK for individuals BUT NOT OK FOR COMPANIES WHO NEED TO PAY AND STATISTICALLY DON'T !
If you can help me re-write this better and link more lawyers let me know.

Give up your day job... Go help planet, yourself and/or other people... http://workaway.info/...
A small ecological message to my fans - Give up your day job, it's measurably bad for you and others. That's if you can find one (some here have proven how hard it is so play another game at leat for a little while)
Find a database of farms and ecologic workers and go to work under many different places who already have places...
What's this playing 1000's rent stuff.. it's sick and such a waste / cornered market. Exit the modern sweat-shop.
I'd also help make an open version of farmers and places you can visit, already existing / growing:
Anyone with an account welcome to share their thoughts
Or to create an account and find out. Can see lots in your area already... (if you can't find let me know)
Travel... live... die on the grass
(not the concrete). At least make some compost when you do.
Collect your shit and go gamble your life at least for a little while... to find like-minded people... I'll be here every day if you need as long as I'm alive.
Save some savings and fuck off. Find a place that will feed you for you few hours work (economically in-house people are well-worth it... and rebuild the planet... People will soon realise how valuable you are if you able to do things for them.
Give up your day job.
Go help people and planet.

Leadership is serving people. Serve the most, lead the most... (Mixed topics and quotes...)
I understand more about why serving is so important to me and many others (serving people is one of the ways forward)
I could have chopped this video to make quote more on-point but I think the parts reading text and accepting the visual presentation or giving benefit of any doubts though helps to also see it makes sense even if it bounces around a bit.
" Leadership is serving people
Serve the most, Lead the most "
Mixed topics (don't let it mix your emotions)
Service is leadership.
(in religious sense or not)
Giving service today is strange.
It's all about likes and followers but for what?
It's backwards in a lot of ways.
What is leadership and what is it all about
Simply to serve people.
"I see everything as self-defence and I've looked at life that way since I was a was a very small kid. 7 years old I started with Judo"
(so the above is perhaps more than the attacking style as Judo doesn't seek to destroy people but can and is able to handle themselves and others with different balances / body structures / attitudes)
"Service is how to win God's heart"
"Action is a lot louder than words"
"Get ready for what is coming, because we must unit to be ready"
We're going to have to get back to the basics, back to the bartering system
Most people are going to lose their homes (or can't pay rent, legal divide, financial segregation etc)
...
FEMA camps are not just for nothing and probably concentration camps everyone for some reason.
"It's up to us to take ownership."
#quotes #quote #FreeSchool #religion #god #leadership #sovereign #barter #system #serve #people
Notes:
- What's said is more the focus though human mention makes it more human.
- Regardless of God mentioned still makes sense without that attribute or only for God (for example for yourself only and/or others)

It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:

2. The Little Prince book

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
