TWITTER NEWS 2021 - CEO CHANGE

JACK DORSEY (meanwhile to PARAG AGRAWAL CTO (maybe to ELON MUSK in 202X?)

Jack Dorsey Leaving Twitter to Work Full Time on Bitcoin

And some good commentary about at least working towards freedom (not helping censorship)... like YouTube also

Shows tweets shown from
-Nic Carter and Glenn Greenwald (Edward Snowden leaks),

Mentions then-President Trump being booted off Twitter! Not the president surely!

Generally good comments from this episode, really if you don't like Bitcoin makes sense as it largely doesn't need you to like Bitcoin, just see the Banks etc as not making sense and Bad!

GAMES CHEATING!
...UNFAIR CPU AND ALGORITHMS

NO WONDER CAPITALISM COPIED WHAT LOOKS FAIR BUT ISN'T! CHECK THIS VIDEO FROM BACK IN 90'S STILL SEEN IN THE EMULATED VERSION TODAY!

Guile from SF2 needs about 2 seconds to charge down to do this FLASHKICK move (so walking back or while standing can't happen unless *maybe* in a combo or 'charging' the move in some other way- standing up or walking back cancels the charge.. at least for human players!!!!!! )

Hard to catch cheats, that's why you need to see the code... Anyone got the Street Fighter code?

UNFAIR CPU and ALGORITHMS
also link to fairness, censorship, privacy...

"TO WORK IS TO LOSE" (pictured)

MY STORY ABOUT JOBS AND WORKING

"To work is to lose" (text from picture)

When I young exactly 16 I think after high school I remember being in the kitchen and looking out to the garden and my dad said:

"From here either you have to work or go to college... you can't just not do one of those things like take an adventure"... to skill up etc...

This picture comes to mind to what I said in my head (and know college wasn't much better and what little I would do there also)

I took the easy way out to college only to delay working... and maybe even a few jobs at some time are good but the whole things is bad- right from banks to upwards to mini bosses everywhere like a bad computer game with too many bosses copy and pasted on the screen.

But this picture says it all for the wrath I had in my head for people suggesting to me the weak game of playing their game called 'work' - what a fucking joke.

To constantly lose by joining their 'team'. They have designed it well. I respect that - NOW FEEL MY WRATH........DAAAAAD!!!! 😡 :blobangel:
(It's not easy for parents but it's not a good way out to not in not undoing some of this stuff as much as possible and from the beginning like taking one big adventure after high school and dying while resting on your sword of principle). :ms_broadsword:

PODCAST COMPLIMENT !!
FREESCHOOL AUDIO 'TESTIMONIAL' :)

It's also a compliment on someone who can really catch good things or take best they can.

It takes two to tango and a random lovely person gives me ample audio feedback suddenly which was unexpected and what I wish for in everyone... as we are all pretty good in many ways but sometimes let websites or technological representation get in the way... there is enough on my website for people to take the best from and better not to try and understand it all in under 5sec!

Some notes:

- if you are happy it probably helps your outlook looking at a old/crap website or not (freeschool.0id.org/?s=audio)

- I think it helps to know what you like personally so even if the website is a mess just enter in the search box and make your life easier! (it's on the middle-right side, type some key topics if you know what you are into!)

- Browsing without heavy to understand it all or be so sensitive helps!!!

AUDIO TOPIC: 2mins
HABITS & ENERGY ETC

- Industry upgrading society into new models of complexity, reducing access, contradicting energy conservation through natural paradoxes from progress and man-made new usage or design

Example mentioned:

- Cars, can't get into the engine
(could mention not being able to open boxes for computing)

- PARADOX of keeping light on to save energy / damage less the lightbulb filament

Feedback welcome. It's just a clip of a 'good point' 9hopefully) from a audio conversation.

Saved a lot of seeds - 10's / 100+

Question is making these babies grow (even on hit and miss basis...)

Any help appreciated before I kinda DIY it outside (not much space inside really! I know the cold is needed to stratify / help germinate seed (cold helps start the process) but who know how deep etc

HOW METRICS / COUNTING NUMBERS / SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT FAIL HUMANS

(ALMOST HIDING DATA / PARTIALLY REVEALING)

YouTube views as an example here.

YouTube counts how many people viewed a video or is it just counting the video's visits to the page? It's maybe unclear so this is part of a problem / question

- did they actually watch any of the video?
- did they just open and close tab?
- was it most likely a fly-by / mistake?

These would all drastically discount the page visit or video watching number.

So to conclude the number is nice for a number count- but what it's counting (all the uses) IS NOT... showing for metrics to be worth you really need lots more metrics else it's misleading... (which opens up doors to manipulation / scams / misleading numbers)
__________________________
SUMMARY
So imagine metrics were clearer and showed
- the visits where someone open closed within 30secs
- video watched %'s (like did they watch only from middle to end and not start?

Arguably this is more of a page hit counter* and while it might not suggest it's a 'video watched' counter you can see there is responsibility ON BOTH SIDES to consider what the conditions and cases to increment pages are -
- and could mean far less YouTube numbers from people clicking this video instead of that.. or looking for a particular version of a video for "Gangsta's Paradise" or anything with many versions- you might click all fo them and +1 many pages without actually watching !

So unless there is further clever metrics (perhaps even clever metrics for socially important data) then it's misleading and doesn't show if people stuck around more than 10seconds /
how long user watched for and what we as users could check to answer "how many people watched 80% consistently?")

Instead we just have numbers which almost hide these metrics and this is the danger if it's money, politics or anything measured but doesn't measure the cases or conditions (and even doesn't want to by those funneling stats deliberately only in some semi-transparent ways like this youtube example where 100% FOR SURE every video has a BIG dropout count but still counts as 'viewed' or 'seen' or 'watched' when it's TOTALLY NOT)
__________________________
CONCLUSION
-Numbers are misleading and while it depends how serious you are it means metrics can be taken less seriously,
-Metrics often demands FULL ACCESS OR TRANSPARENCY or some infinite sub-measurements in order to be seen properly from different angles and filters (and which would probably defeat the whole reasoning why to measure). Even if YouTube was a bit clever and waiting to see if user was still watching after 30seconds then you get into "what constitutes watching properly a video, 50%, 80%, 100%?)
- For humans our brain sometimes does better to reason things ourselves so for YouTube video "who cares" if 20% of the video counter is NOT from proper views- but for life these numbers obviously count much more!

A combination is probably best but I feel it's way more manipulation by industry and bosses to look at numbers and not reality of sub cases and a kind of fascism to not care or only care for number / order / standards / progress etc.

WE ALL WORK FOR THE BANK...
TO PAY OFF LOANS?

FACT OR FICTION, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WE ARE PAYING BACK FOR THE %'S ?

Are we all working for the banks?

Taken me 10's of years to find that out and see the Bank as the bad / uncaring root of all life!

MY TAKE ON TOPIC:
Any company we work for has a loan and is just an in between for the same relationship (to pay back %).

Working to pay banks who charge for loans / mortgages etc means they are the root of life AND they are creating more debt every time there is more lending
(and the % or total gets bigger all the time it's unpaid).

Greed and Banks are a big problem. V£RY BIG.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS
- A WARNING

Short Version:

Financial regulation can change what you do in your job (example implementing; digital back-doors / KYC / kill-switches etc into software or almost anything)...
and this is evident in efforts again Bitcoin and other competition to the mainstream...

You're jobs can be changed to help work towards evil. Legal changes etc are all happening to be more precise slowly but surely.

The force behind this and what effects everything is the Central Bank wanting to force their own Digital Currencies. (monetary demons / parasites).

Changing the future of money changes *many* other things- perhaps everything.

AUDIO AND THIS TEXT might take a bit of time to sink it- leave it open and play it again.
_______________________________
Long Version

As usual any job can be used against you as it pays your bills so in many ways they (gov / banks) can change the standards / the rules / regulations by ask you to do things which end up working again the common good when people do whatever people say for money.

Implementing a standard backdoor or similar is what I'm getting at. It's going to be very real if standards are set by government for whatever xyz reason similar to the typical 'safety' reasons or 'preventing fraud'... etc

As a stark example people in war were making bomb parts and didn't know it, so if that's possible (similar to how codes can be put together) then you might not even know you implementing the components if you're part of something you don't see. So again compartmentalizing or making something a feature can seem good one day but then be together to be a weapon the next...

Anyway there is a pattern happening across all sectors - leaning towards people getting people in jobs to do what industry / gov wants - all backed by banks allowing wages to go through. You are also included in this pattern I mention and I give you an 'inevitable' factor when coming down the ladder of alignment and looking who can implement it the software developers stark going dark in order to get paid (live)

Rather than squash weeds a better return-on-investment is through jobs force you softly over, or all in one go, to do things different (and this we know is true from having jobs I think for any of us).

Although I'm not the most articulate I believe the pattern has long been happening and the COVID stuff accelerating it somewhat... going for people through their wallets, livelihood etc is the best tactic and always was. Eventually making it harder and harder not to do what they said or choose your ethics over your job until there might be no jobs left (I would advise you to fight to change your existing rather than leave and let a fresh developer step into the mess and expect them not to bend)

Developers are the way for government and that means you as a developer are being targeted same as the next tools and leverage to force change for them or trojan horse whatever it is they don't want unless they regulate it (alternate currencies are one example).

🔒 LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT! 🔒
( MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT MORE PRIVATE! )

THIS IS A SECURITY CHECK!
(PROTECT YOURSELF)

---------WHY?---------

DO YOU NEED A THREAT BEFORE THINKING ABOUT IT?... THERE IS PLENTY OF THEREAT OUT THERE !! (WILL LIST LATER)

PRIVATE / PRIVACY LET'S IN MORE OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE AS YOU MUTUALLY FIND THEM ANYWAY

Click this post text to see instructions how to lock your account, it's easy and similar to public but less easier to observe your whole network!

THE REST BELOW IS OPTIONAL
(I KNOW IT'S LONG READING BUT FOR LONG-TERM DOING THIS LET'S IN MORE OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE)
---------------------------------
if you're not sure why to hide some information see below

Why make your followers list / following list private on Mastodon?

WHY IS PRIVATE BETTER THAN PUBLIC IN TERMS OF SECURITY?

MY OPINION why below-

PRIVACY INVASION WILL HAPPEN IN FUTURE / IS HAPPENING NOW - A PUBLIC PROFILE = FUTURE PROBLEM

And if you see the patterns in the world then you see the censorship and each country and business doing more and more stupid shit. This incrementing means 100% you will know IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA LETTING PEOPLE SEE YOUR FAMILY / FRIENDS / BUSINESS!

PUBLIC ACCOUNT IS A LIABILITY

(Click to see instructions how).

SHOWING YOUR NETWORK OF FRIENDS TO EVERYONE?
(not a good idea)

PROFILE TOO EASY TO READ?
(not a good idea)

Need to cover these things sooner that later like all the other privacy / security things

- SCREEN PEOPLE

- CHECK WHO YOU ANNOUNCE TO USING A MORE SECURE 🔒 ACCOUNT (it's still similar to public but people have to do more effort to get to you or do mass collection of stuff)

PRIVACY DOESN'T MEAN LESS FOLLOWERS! BUT 1 MORE CLICK TO SAY "OK YOU ARE NOT A BOT ETC"

CONFIRM AND ACCEPT PEOPLE

You have to assume an aggressive AND pa$Sive aggre$Sive world... as we are living it all right now!

SHOWING PEOPLE YOUR 'FRIENDS' / NETWORK IS LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN.🚪 🔑

IN THE FUTURE THIS IS MASSIVE

WE SEE THE MODERN INVASION / VIOLATION OF PRIVACY ACROSS THE BOARD.
PLEASE HELP THEM LESS.
YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF AFTER.

LOCK YOUR ACCOUNT PLEASE !

Browser Tip - Save Pictures from Video (Save A Snapshot)

I'm stupid but I'd like to check if you knew "Save Snapshot As" (right click on video) can save a picture from your favourite video in Mastodon!

If you didn't know let me know- sometimes people "SAVE AS" only to get the 1 picture for wallpaper or whatever so this help time and effort (no download needed).

SOUND LOOP / MUSIC SAMPLE

"THEIR NOT ALIGNED"

EXTRA INFO
Represents that paradox of the word 'aligned' or alignment
So a bit of a paradox is when in the natural and human world it's important for everyone to have 1 unity or accept others being diverse in many ways, but without alignment in mind or other senses of the word everything is usually messed up without it being 'uniform' or made standard somewhat...

Feelings go with this same that there is this physical take on being aligned by both positive and negative parts to the human sides of being aligned...
