ROOTS of cheating people is:

Anything behind your back and far away is problem when it comes to governments cheating people.

Anything in secret, off the record.. etc is all a problem.

It changes the whole productivity of your work like a hole in your pocket. And gives it to err.. actually who knows who it's given to, just money is somehow spent and somehow problems continue.

CHECK HOW MUCH DATA / ENERGY A SITE SUCKS / PUMPS OUT

So I realized I usually use what is a low footprint (how much download and upload speed it sucks or draws from one computer to another)

Imagine all this stuff takes energy to run... and each action uses energy (data and processing power to get it to you).

How much it sucks or pumps is going to effect the footprint consumption,

I THINK THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE

- A LOT OF DATA IS DEAD AFTERWARDS (NOT USED WISELY, EVEN LOADED MANY TIMES)

- DISPOSABLE ENERGY IS NOT A GOOD IDEA SOMETIMES (STREAMING ALL THE TIME)

Especially things streaming or updating a lot... here are my tests:

---> lichess.org = Kb/s !!
Nominal about 3-10Kb/s !!
Sometimes spikes if loading a new game but straight back down after+ lichess has NO ADVERTS!...
lichess = is 'Libre Chess'

---> OwnCast = 1mb/s
- OwnCast defaults at 1mb/s (horrible / a lot if it's just people filming their hands on keyboard or even low-action livecast!)

Imagine people sharing connections and wondering why internet is slow!

Another point is even if you have super fast net, you're still killing the world faster by using heavy sites or using sites heavily... anyway test a site for yourself!

WANT TO TRY?

- Test a site for a while (some applications show average or maximums but keep an eye while playing a game

- Advertising probably even on and idle site download things actively / aggressively - got any examples?

- I'd appreciate people to MENTION WHAT APPS THEY USE (to measure bandwidth and speeds incoming / outgoing)
(ESPECIALLY LINUX)

#data = #energy
more data = more energy
#games = lots of bandwidth?

and remember it's not only download but the other computers UPloading and needing to do that (at the same time often!)

WOULD LOVE PEOPLE TO MEASURE THEIR GAMES #download / #upload

WHAT'S YOUR SUPER-POWER ?
(WORLD-BUILDING)

STATE YOU NAME AND POWER BELOW THIS POST! HERE'S WHY...

I'm world-building here... (thinking of what the world could be like and kinda of making it up as I go along simply needing you to do the same for it to happen!)

So my server has some clever people and we could be...
an ALL-STARS TEAM !

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-star

SO ask yourself and your server to "WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND SUPER POWER?"
and then simply use those willing to change the the world... USING THEMSELVES!

(ok not simple but a text list even for fun MIGHT JUST DO IT!)

ANYWAY CONSIDER IT EVEN FOR FUN SUPERMAN/PERSON

I imagine QOTO asking each person their skills and then we change the world / mix and match etc... feels too distant right now or just text /picture based but one day we actually talk and get stuff done regardless of MY PhD (People-healing Disorder)

ABOUT VIDEO
---------------
Source video is from POP SONG
YES POP MUSIC FOR A FILM called Mystery Men (that's Ben Stiller - he's ok)

Intro is the best bit
... from Mystery Men film (1999 American superhero comedy film - if I did see it I forgot but I don't watch Hollywood since years). I just love video this for the beginning clip... and my world-build fantasies.

and the rest of video I had to really chance it and it turned out ok... after trying to see what he says at beginning which maybe isn't that important but I was like WTF! And the intro is slow enough walking on a pavement to suddenly 'kick in' so that's how I see the intro working lol...

After intro = Gets catchy after - just be patient... and remember the super hero power more than this song!

I like some of the talking to 'camera with attitude' stuff saying 'hey now you're a rock-star' etc...

ANYWAY PLAY THE VIDEO (AGAIN)... AND WRITE THERE YOUR SUPER POWER...

MINE IS REASONING WITHOUT EXTREMES AND PERHAPS EDITING THINGS... A MARATHON RUNNER FOR WHATEVER I DO!

( AW GAWD I HOPE SOMEONE ELSE REPLIES TO THIS WITH SOMETHING BETTER ! ) 🚀 BOOST! ⭐

AUDIO CHALLENGE -
SAY IT DON'T SPELL IT ALL THE TIME!... :D

Consider it a challenge not to text about your next posts!!...

Probably texting is most used so this is to encourage trying to talk about it audibly to yourself or audio recording yourself on your own!

If you have something to say, feel free to send it privately. but this actually just the practice of saying it... sending is not required!
Act 'as if' people were listening to see and you had the stage... it's quite important for life and the time you may need to do this...
Can you do it ? :)

You may have lost an ability to talk about *a serious topic* or something from the heart (not just hi and bye stuff in real life remember!)

Seriously don't even send it privately... just see if you can make yourself seriously talk about a theme and record it after you find a flow about it / make notes or whatever... Theme ideas in the picture below)

BEST is something from you.

The aim of this is not to record you necessarily but from the people I've talked to I / we realised how practice really helps and time actually flies (which is a good sign) and then it becomes much more empowering or expressive or freeing to chat in future and practice yourself and then after record something like a conversation.

One day you might be no longer as shy, unpractised and appreciate this medium for borderline 'political' / close-to-heart stuff.

Again this task is first and foremost to pretend or act like you have something important to say and practice it all the way up until pretending to send it.

Not looking for perfection or excuses - I know you're not an actor or going to sound like reading Wikipedia (that's not what I'm looking for)

- I'm looking for the *YOU* even if I don't get to hear it,

I leave the last steps to you but I encourage you to say something like you mean it... not to spell it (or write it first but do improvise also!)

VIDEO STORAGE: I think I'm against big resolution copies of video online - so per video more videos...

(things like peertube or yewtu.be have a lot of big versions of files for arguably little use or could be put somewhere for download more than streaming)

So multiple video's for the same video I think overall is perhaps too much of a luxury / sucking big energy and processing power 9even for 1 video)... Could really be reserved for when it's really needed, The added videos (per video) are like a multiplier or compound equation in terms of cost / damage / energy during running time and download / upload / backup etc:

- bandwidth ( ↑UP and ↓DOWN streams for higher resolution... a lot of gb/s )

- storage cost per video (5 video for each video a pyramid of for example 2hrs = 2gb (1080p) + 1.5gb (720p) + 700mb (360p) and then smaller formats (which is ok to get people access at mobile speeds)

-CPU processing power / data centres encoding multiple video files per video (5 format let's say per video)

- massive backups, snapshots, daily routines that could be halved perhaps in terms of time / energy / hardware usage.

- and more considerations

Overall I'd like the medium formats and then 1 place to get big or to ask for it... rather than stream / allow people to not care (the hosts also have responsibility as well as users)

So designing (or not even creating the bigger files) is a type of responsible management. Let user back it up and have just 360p and 720p of files.

Something better than what you see pictured. (over-giving choice / not being used while eating resources just for being there *every* second of the day!!!)

Costs a lot of planet time / heat / storage for each video, and with various quality and reasons for video I think 360p / 720p is MAX and more needs justification or to hunt for it elsewhere (like asking the sources for a link).

The less all-you-can-eat system the more reality (unless you think all-you-can-eat is possible in world or worth the exchange... for a bunch of videos)

Eating the planet while someone forgets to reduce the quality and burn life is also part of this as it's often played at speed people's line's can't even handle (and then imagine sharing a household streaming everything)...

TL;DR

- Towards low footprint
A lot of room for improvement by cutting video and therefore reducing planetary footprint / damage from the cake=like setups we have now.

- Fast ways more than quality

- Giving choice to remember as best ways.

-Remembering user settings - I prefer 360p for example but video's often default to 720p :/ even in PeerTube... the default could be lower or learned per user.

Meme is for the music mainly (it's also almost loopable too if you save it)

There was a short version but longer for music is better and surprise at the end!

This is an in-person meetup 2022!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy

"... mechanism of indirect coordination, through the environment, between agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the environment by an individual action stimulates the performance of a succeeding action by the same or different agent. "

Kind of like following or snowballing something.

But fails when it's mice going for the cheese.

This one I caught myself.
Difference with humans is that we can catch each other! Mice don't tend to do that.

Stigmergy is useless if people are in short loops of food-only / money-is-ok type actions and conversations... and don't get further past that and just into more traps (there are many).

Money is not a problem (???)
Money is just a tool (???)

Money as a man-made creation and set of rules is a big problem.
It's perhaps the #1 reason to problems as an integrated mentality developed over the years so when you use it you're already losing. This is a blind spot for people.

The top phrases are repeated as if they are not made by banks (even though some of these people hate banks)
Is it not a man-made design that helps force you in only using money? Not because it's the best tools for you but for them silly!

How can mice not see something that can cheat you (like an object that leaks) or continually go around the carnival thinking the games are not rigged.

Embedded unfairness. Plain and simple. Many can't do the maths to see it's debt creation by design. It's not just what the numbers say on the face of a printed paper. That is for you to pretend while in the background it's being drained siphoned and banks regularly taking public money because they suddenly don't have any (2008 etc).

It's a mistake in people's mind.
I'd like to adjust it but I guess it's hard for people to imagine why 'money' (or cheating people) is the best way for empires and how it centralises and changes in value using sub-tools and tweaks.
You have your stack and you don't see the changes or care over time... and of course it's tied well to food so we're grateful right... don't bite the banks hand... but eventually one has to really see that as the problem as there is not much healthy growth in people or world using money itself.

Please check yourself. Remember the worst things blend in various parts so if you want to see it as only a tool you can - but you have to give Banks and Government a bit more credit over the years! The art of money and manipulation, how they give loans to certain people, filter things... is everything but apolitical. How they make money themselves at the cost of others (called debt) can even be seen a minor point considering how much power and control it forced (along with the other tools like law and legal things that make you also use it). Put all you hard work and labour into one thing, very convenient. No probs.

This is really a decision-making tool for who lives and who dies (plus the debt added on top chaining people into the same scheme / cheating program adding %'s forever). You tell you kids "you have to sell yourself" in a lot of ways and it's not like all the jobs are well balance in pay (governments, banks and companies decide who get most, and well banking pays very well lol).

If people deliberately make something it's political and pre-decisions are made.
You don't get money fresh and think "ah yeah nothing happened before I got this money" or that it's your money.

Money is almost all deliberately designed politics (embedded decision making and many traps inbuilt) so rather than 'just a tool' or sort of optional thing it's actively taking from you and your efforts in life.

Money is so much more than just a rock or shell people exchange.

At the same time as anything good it's creating more problems all around the world and by the people it's created by (banks and government teamed together).

You trust them?
You support them?
Do you have a choice?

So it's not gret being check-mated and forced to also support their habits of feeding off people and mismanaging money and all their responsibilities they shirk and profit from.

How could you not see this happening before, already and now?

This particular person is also in the free-trade or freedom movement so contrasts how even those kinds of people to any degree or stereo-type almost don't mind money's chains or multiple layers chaining us and defer it to simplify it in some other way as if it's not THE problem.
Bad people (uncaring people) bad money and it wasn't designed overnight... a lot of time by empires and the whole history of people and fuckups deliberately.

Just some candy never mind let's take it. We have to anyway.

I will revise this but please someone help me (as well as the others) to articulate it better.

How can I say better how the two phrases at the top are far from correct?

An antidote to this disease is what we need as it's like the root epidemic to many things it connects and roots itself in) even in the freedom, free-software movement, or any movement / political reform...

Parody video of Queen with a bit of reality in text for what is a mean business of running things badly (the art of exploiting people / way of cheating them from their time and energy and giving them much less back).

Governing a country and leading the empire by crushing it's own people (and others) just crushes everyone under it's accumulated weight. Enjoy the video - the likes of her will die but we have to makes sure people copy and paste the uncaring £nglish ways a lot less.

If you want to be a proper criminal then make sure you're following legal fronts like this racket for the deaths and killings in the background and backend while trying to make you feel guilty for the careless lack of feelings in everything and actively emptying it justified by your survival.

Fun but deadly serious (as you can tell by look on queen's face.)...
YEA! BOUNCE!

Just a shitty main island that tried to rule the world, many islands and lands and somehow did more than 50% of the world and perhaps still has it's hooks in places.... that's propa tyranny.

Laugh. Cry. P£ople must di£?

Chess comments about Male / Female players.

Blown up more than it should but
- yes academically there are differences between men/women in studies / games / sports
- physically also differences (not just muscles in biology but other things)
- training is important too to complement natural talent and expand upon it to achieve higher levels

" Graduated in 2010, and for the past few years I've been teaching.
I was among the last batch of humans who will remember what the world was like before the internet.

Before cellphones, social media, and constant connectivity the complete reformatting of the human mind.

The average human's identity is now just as rooted in digital personas as it is in physical world.
In a realm where there is no action, only words, your words become your actions.

More and more the physical world seems to shrink, becoming beholden to things that do not exist. The future becomes enslaved to an eternally expanding record or anything and everything, the past now meaningfully indistinguishable from the present.

Every day I speak with kids who are incapable of conceptualizing a world without this. It colors their expectations for themselves and society, robs them of true interpersonal moments, limits their ability to think and feel.

Nothing really ends of disappears from them, and so value is impossible. Some things are preferable over others in the moment, but art, entertainment, culture, information itself is as disposable as oxygen. "

It is all just stimulation. "Content."
I love these kids. I can see their humanity in there, unsatisfied and starved for something they don't even know how to name. The ability to shut it all down, I think. They want to go back, too.

MY ADDED NOTE:

VERY GOOD LINES I'D QUOTE IN THERE, QUITE MOST- though the last line people have consciously exchanged sometimes and to be honest it was very boring or not as educational (as well as the crap)...

SOLUTION?
We perhaps have to really PICK and choose everything though some things like the picture says is by creation or default not able to not do things as it was created that way (newer tech can't undo as easy so forced into using the rest of the bad things too and this is violence to an extent- under "structural violence" by cornering people technologically for control and manipulation means, for profit and prostituting them silently or against their will holding an ultimatum or binary "use or don't use" as it's means of coercion). And that's if you aware.

Words can be like throwing spears or target practice
What fun! :)

Even some sparring in a competitive boxing match can be good. In and out, not always too long. Take what you can.

Getting people's reasoning is obviously excellent source of... education.. reality... entertainment perhaps but overall healthy refinement and training thoughts
( if that's your direction or what you aim for... )

Towards healthier people and healthier mindset by training it.

Notice the pictures
- 1st targets the reasoning
and
- 2nd targets person

and more explained version below:

- 1st targets the reasoning
,,,or your own thought / feelings / your heart etc

and

- 2nd targets person
,,,or seeks perhaps to put too much weight on the words and attribute / link them too heavily to a person or group of individuals
