I like this one (is it your own?)
Wanted to even make a smart comment to compliment it but it's actually enough not to say anything :)
GIVE US GOOD WORK TO DO!... How to harness good people's skills from far?
Looking for the answer because some of us (at least I) am getting bored... GIVE US GOOD WORK TO DO!
Ideally towards practising improving language and relationships so eventually more people are nicer and understand other people!
The nobodies... [Quote by Eduardo Galeano]...
The nobodies: the no-ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way. Who are not, but could be. Who don’t speak languages, but dialects. Who don’t have religions, but superstitions. Who don’t create art, but handicrafts. Who don’t have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the crime reports of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them."
— Eduardo Galeano, Nobodies/1, The Book of Embraces

Thought it was interesting and just to ponder about...
Ok. Another quote in 2008 Galeano said:
" The White House will be Barack Obama's house in the time coming, but this White House was built by black slaves. And I’d like, I hope, that he never, never forgets this "
ANY survey or stats is going to be +/- of who/how many etc... Would help if everyone wrote there own manifesto to show each other along the way and match them up!...
My manifesto for example below and biases :)
http://freeschool.0id.org/manifesto/
I think the world is going to need to ask everyone about everything and has to accept that from people without manipulating them and while valuing their life and perhaps trying to keep everyone alive in order to do that! (probably earth has enough resources if we get taxed less and mispend less)
True politics / less bias perhaps when you clear bad dependencies or deal with pre-construct :) Sooo hard....
(also imagine if there were more in "oppose no FB/insta" then one might be tempted to conclude it's less biased- it's surely it's a tough call using these tools or not as anything narrow can be +/-/~ and seems to lose sapience UNLESS it's done really really well
...and not paid / done for the dark side!!!)
Talk about extreme close up - geez!
:p
@stux
Do another fundraiser!
They are pioneering rebellion!
And make sure stuff can't get seized somehow (like the gofundme money or petrol they confiscated).
Putting a lock on everything or having a way making it hard for them when they decide to raid,
Money is worth much less than the face value...
Money is worth less than the face value because someone always pays to borrow it. At the start they pay a fee or continually pay now as 'interest'.
So money becomes worth less and less from beginning of 'buying' it AND less value as time goes on.
What money you hold is worth less than it says! (And getting less...)
The 'face' value (what's written on material) is changing in reality.
Physical numbers don't changing in your have and cheat you accordingly.
The average person doesn't realise money is leaking.
From their pocket, money is designed to be drawn by the centralised banks and government using fees and %'s they continually charge and change.
100 now, after becomes 60..50..40..20.. as time goes on!
% x time = less money
Indeed money is as 2-faced as the government and banks that allow it.
Because it's deliberate and deceptive to make you think 100 is 100.
In your hand is getting less and less !
When you look at the number but it's actually 50 after while and then even less.
This system (maths to depreciate) keeps Banks in power.
The power of fees and % added reduces the number of money you think you have.
Money is mostly confidence in Money...
... there is a bit more to it but it can just layers added on top of this basic confidence that it's worth something only because once it was *maybe* worth something physically (gold etc but now not)!
So now it's mostly insert between other things... or on top, or as a gate etc... but still confidence is main thing otherwise it could be sea shells / stones if really we were that confident in it (and of course money has the control in printing and remote devaluation so but overall I mean about confidence - we ASSUME somewhat based on what we see but if the other person would give you a piece of paper saying "THANKS" then on some level or even better because technically money is worth less than the face value because someone is still paying % for it / or gave it to someone else with %!)

I think relativity in participation appeals more now until I happen to find the connection otherwise it's mostly so-so and still have t o contact some od the FOSDEM speakers for audio chats (loose friendly interviews)
e.g. Debian developer below...
http://freeschool.0id.org/debian-developer-tech-audio/
So if I can do some audio editing / interviews or any remote work then just send me a list
or send me a person I can talk to so we can just jump into Jitsi Meet to get things rolling in instant chat... e.g https://meet.jit.si/chataboutworkingforfree
Computers – Why We Like Them So Much + Cory Doctorow (recommended)...
I recommend this and my work added because it show some basics and what it might come back to - we love our toys right?
http://freeschool.0id.org/computers-why-we-like-them-so-much-audio/
Audio TRANSCRIPT on this page also has version for reading / learning
+ Cory Doctorow's account as it's not his name (so harder to find) but that's ok his GREAT WORK finds itself in places.
Genius! =

Productivity but in terms of in between breaks... reasons why... lichess.org
This *might* mean you feel you are not good since often regular chess players can accept it's too deep and to play to find new ways etc (it's not about winning).
So as games go it cam be throw-away / time killer / not the deep kind of chess that many consider it - it's more like chopping a tree and knowing tree is not going to fall but serving it's purpose in the doing / practise...

@freemo
Bday post (this the only way I can mark image sensitive in Masto app) derp
I think cakes are overdone... but this contrast of whole strawberry and cream is still eye candy for me :) Yum...
And back to my sweetcorn and potatoes cooking,..
@ColinTheMathmo That's why I'm working on relationships - everything is no good without warm relationships and work processes.
Feel good I think because it means he's doing something that is making a change / working against oppression!....
Those against need to take action so that's why I say be happy for that (it's also a stage of progress and mental combat) !
Jo Rogan stuff works (just listening to the Wim Hoff audio episodes #712 + 865)
Side-comment: Had my usual outside shower with bucket which reminds me of him - I'm probably an average next to him!
Often new is not good... Because of the mixed ways and mentality of business which does things...
,,, doing things now means doing in over-clever ways (ignoring other things / miscalculating - mostly the intended non-innocent ways) now that it can.
Example - make things obsolete or 'old' to spin and push supply chain up
(it's indirect force)
Although in case of TOR perhaps it really is security and safety instead of what business and gov advertises when making changes / revisions and forcing the latest / not tolerating the 'old'.
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:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!
