“I wanted to write you a shorter letter, but I didn’t have the time.” - a genius quote
I got this quote a few days ago and have say that relates to me well and those that are looking for education / measurement / expression... The quote supports what I think a fair few people can't see as 'normal to write a lot' and perhaps quality too in the balance.
Possibly the normal / standard human condition is that people talk and don't hide it once people get rolling.
The almost insulting expectation other people have is a dumbed down reduction to the extent of not hearing the full story or feeling far far from human for some it seems, although for others a worthy skill - obviously when practised enough ... To write short about things that are usually not clear without exploring too much is a bit of an ask so here's a quote for that...
All I need now is a quote about how to improve one's reading skills like the opposite of TLDR...
like TSANDE
(Too short and not deep enough)
Though to be fair, measuring how deep is also a skill / balance.
And I can read the points through larger text better than shorter text if quality is the same!
*SHRUG*
Just a business rant about monetisation which gets us all there again eventually rotting things...
From something more of a hobby to start with and even ridiculed at the time, BBS was only for the geeks that could set it up more domestically. Then it because available and rentable as more increasing hardware and space and equalised everyone a whole lot since anyone could be a potential sysadmin caring less for the art and buying / renting snowballing money side of it instead...
Taxing of everything in the process from I believe is a primary goal for government both for war and paying themselves. As much as it was defences early on in history (or maybe 'attack is best form of defence' if you wnt to be #1 now it's just about funding everything bad as it create more problems and therefore more need or leverage or ultimatums - people crying in agony. That's real power.
People today, quite middle class life but could be homeless soon if bank and stuff disconnect them.
Might have seen things earlier and prepared something...
Many of these things I mean are in the head too at least in their own self / soul / homework could have been settled a bit better.
Responsibility is also in all of humanity which currently can't really talk to each other without getting over-emotional (a type of conflict inside). And true it's not their fault but by not making time, not making space, not explaining it to kids despite the shrug we don't have answers... it doesn't make it any better / truthful. You just can't leave all these things unchecked with 0 effort.
Work isn't being done and is actually avoided (the talking to each other like T-group meetings to sort this out since there is not space on the high street to have circles for of people adjust others or balancing and government cut out all those type of spaces).
People haven't been exactly chipping in to these things perhaps dripping a bit of sweat slowly into the human-loving parts of acceptance / understanding or incremental part of any repair and more acting like it's all actually fine. Perhaps lying to themself. I suer can't speak for all of them but who what's to fight... everything today?
In a way anything other than war would not be possible to uphold the life we have. We literally have a free roll for a tangent that is like bad chess game you accept to play knowing the previous players / parent were kak or just not knowing / seeking shelter themselves and got caught in another dictatorship.
Only war could be holding up these fairly easy life things. Just by a few calculations one can see how on earth do these things magically appear - must be miss-spending to make it look like it works. Going to work and back to for little point other than modern soldier... hmm sound like I'm bitter but just is the way it is I guess, I'll post and move on, but won't forget and still be looking for next positive person.
And without humanity also war is left to whoever bold enough to take it. Nnobody wants to stop anyone else or practised fighting / in-fighting and some BIG WORDS.
People have their limits so high, so let others have it. Even paid willingly in some weird guilt. They didn't see or have short memory of professionally and institutionally hired and paid people... where did the money comes from? O, the masses probably and banks to support massive military budgets, robberies, manufacturing hardware and supplying both debt % and arms to both countries / all sides / everyone probably.
Not a bad racket. People need to just look at each other and just accept there is mostly no external justice, just us. And fucked as it seems just one long conversation regularly 2x1hr a week and all is right as rain (fighting or not) at least with us all telling the same people (like I am now) but going well somewhere slowly..,
It's still a playable hand for those
that can jump into audio chat right now and say "right what can we do what we love to do despite the negativity or converting it to positive - let's match cards and entertain a healing of a practice before we pop off planet with questionable souls"
Many people also may choose to let it slip frankly and feel like it's their right and no responsibility or not willing to put themselves in danger like this... foe backed-up job maybe... but to talking to 'strangers' as if paying mostly unknown rings of men / thugs in suits is any better than 99% harmless person and even needing of help (to be listened too- that's how startved / unprogressive life is). If people knew these kinds of bullies (not just Putin the mafia we have here) they don't go away or show how their hand and we are black and blue from the finance abuse in many different ways.
When could people see professionals are from branching out companies regulated and connected back to the gov and hence the the scams and techniques continue somewhat...
What does that have got to do with web 1/2/3 - the same as everything else that has the above template applied to it.
Power, manipulation, rigging, depredation. Blame, lack of responsibility. Core dug out. People suppression as teh bottom of barrel that fuel those about.
[whistle of something dropping from a height]
Sorry if it seems I crashed your post. I just don't think people get the business... or the business of of war... at all. they just pay ignorantly is just this 'other jar of money' not that stuff,.
What they are part of is the very essence of it.
Feel free to copy and paste this to the next things money has bought and rotted, sold and sucked dry, bank funded, vulture capitalised etc...
On a good note, we can just play as if it's our last days anyway and start from simple things, encouraging people into our homes, and really hold loyalty to those from the start ad ask them to give what we got and spin the x__bad games____x as slow as possible to allow the brains to grow and catch-up to stop it...

"You are forgive my child." the priest says in an ominous voice. "Lest ye not forget, never... never throw out a box of cables..."
[a Gregorian chant seems to intentionally increase in volume temporarily just after the priest speaks]
"...And you did the right thing by coming here. You came to us... to wash away your sins"
"Thank you your holiness..." Meirl says regretfully.
"Fear not" (this time in a deeper voice...) "God sees all and now it has been said out loud - go! Go about your daily task with this day in mind and what you shall remember here on in...
At the end softly the priest say quickly
"DON'T WORRY- BARRY YESTERDAY SAID GOT SOME CABLES JUST BY CHANCE IN THE DUMPSTER- IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUR STUFF...SO THEY STILL MIGHT BE AROUND AFTER ALL!!"
Narrator continues...
"The priest make his way out the confession booth almost as though he was the one confessing."
"The sinner Meirl also exits after the customary pause from existing the booth in the other direction, but as he turn back he wonders if he saw the priest start running the final part of the hallway."

SOFTWARE: mp3DirectCut for direct mp3 editing...
mp3DirectCut - a lossless MP3 audio editor and recorder
TINY 313KB!
http://mpesch3.de
As a token gesture to tools that work very well, still works on old machines, is simple and direct, portable, had to shout this old friend.
Saves hard drive space as no decompression / hardly any loading is needed (unlike Audacity)
It directly edits MP3 as copy/pastes, cuts/crops, gain/fades, change the volume, remove parts, split files, add/copy regions and more...
Again WITHOUT decompressing the audio file or quality loss
(LOAD IN AUDACITY A LARGE 5hr MP3 and wait a good 2mins+ and saving takes ages (so no quick saves...) With this tool loading + editing + saving large audio is almost instant.
Maybe still a bit fiddly with fairly minimal interface but still worth the directness.
Yes it's for #windows and only for show for some people (but it should run on other Linux distributions using a Windows® emulator such as #wine if it's for grandma type editing and DIY home radio shows with fairly minimal Windows on it already.)
Has #Android version perhaps surprisingly.
No decompression / recompression and doesn't even fill up a floppy disk ~313Kb.
Wanted to mention a robust old friend for an app on any older machine lying around or for installing for others not so savvy, even carrying around as a portable basic editor.
Audacity is good too but in this way this less load time for large mp3 and fairly minimal buttons helps.
mp3DirectCut is not a full editor but it's like got a lot of good points. Minimal website too.
@misty
Enjoyed that. Like the pics and paragraph layout style. And not too long.
School World seemed similar to my username too and maybe my world exploring people... so that interested me too... so some words on that as something similar not really to advertise myself ! 'Free School' is like learning things too but towards freedom as a 'free' culture we could aim towards as humanity (instead of just evil mice-testing creators, testing and observing for more cruel / soft-war ways to make people jump hoop for profit!!) and FreeSchool is not about selling it or buying people, more the 'free' will... learning about growing a life of freedom... so completely benign (unless users of knowledge actually put it into practice before they are 30/40!!)
lol - not exactly School World but I liked the idea and creativity in it plus history of attempts by creators and art involved even though I'm more a pixel person or mashup-artist.
OK NOW A SHAMELESS LINK TO MY PICS!!
http://freeschool.0id.org/my-picture-tour-edits-drawing-diagrams-photos/
Good work on this and surprisingly the minimal layout was best and reminded me of... well a magazine!! (so you got your effect!)
If you ever want to talk more about it (text / audio chat, let me know otherwise a good memory and back to the clutter of internet and freedom school !)
------------------------------
QUOTES FROM YOU PAGE:
Few bits below are add here as quotes mostly for myself but I'll put them here anyway:
------------------------------
the book is presented entirely free of text, encouraging the reader to come up with their own interpretation. (good for the TLDRs!)
wasn't just an art book... when the package is opened sits a paperback book containing an original novel: Judgment Engine, by American sci-fi author Greg Bear, which takes Harada's "insects" as a jumping off point and constructs a world for them.
At the core of this message is the ultimate scientific proof the dying universe discovered: "There can be no ultimate ethical advancement in this universe."
According to this proof, there can be no possibility of life that doesn't destroy something that came before it.
Harada deliberately avoids context, while Bear carefully employs it. Both Harada's and Bear's contributions to the project feel shaped by the form of their art.
There are, thankfully, no instructions to tell the player exactly what is happening or what purpose their actions are serving.
the game itself doesn't force or even encourage any specific interpretation. That's really to its benefit; the game may be slight, but its entire purpose is discovery,
1997's popol maya... feels like a new take on the concept of School World, with the player positioned as a member of the world learning to communicate instead of at a scientist's detachment.

@lurker
This is the modern illness I believe (or not illness just training and social training asa result of capitalistic near-0 residue... or whatever no need give it name but what you said is it)
A few experiences similar to yours
- "who are you" questions
- closely followed by needing to know you name, flag, 'what you do' profession etc... as if life was a business AND as if it was some kind of safety measure having those details
- People think the last point is enough to 'know you'
- They don't realise friendship is a long haul thing and needs starting somewhere (in fact anywhere!) and then expect to have ups and downs in understanding AS PART OF FRIENDSHIP
- actually forget it the list is too long...
And for the follow there is good reasoning for NOT allowing follows from random people such as not allowing people to see all your friends and circles easily, the same as why people don't need to put real names and a level of protection is integrated there. For example I mostly have chat to people before either way but follow needs a bit of justification for more than one reason so I hope that answers that partially too that it work in many ways + and - and people do have to choose sometimes for gate or no gate or long term what they want / need.
Either way the respect for human life and the paranoia (that actually spreads badness itself trying to waste my energy for so long and still get not chat... is for me self-evident of people's lack of dedication to life and more over-defensive guard that brings everyone down in lack of participation, and at the same time I'm thankful strange as that is as people do bad work fast also.
Definitely not everyone has the same stance, view, virtues, abilities... even the greats around here! SCARED! BUSINESS FIRST AND AT THE END ANY EXCUSE ETC!

Those houses... Wood beams I guess or Tree trunks for the skeleton?
I often wonder how long what I build will last... but nothing is forever and at least it will bio-degrade or be used for firewood! That's if humans don't meddle with it first!
@Amikke
Yes fear but also prepare.
(rhymes a bit also). But I mean it - whatever people fear - prepare. We are heavily relying on them and that is not good. At the same time how many people take me up on 'enlightenment' even for kicks and bit of banter? Well humanity isn't ready but this measurement and going to do the same thing again.. which is part of you fear and part of my answer to prepare...
Ok now shoo shoo everyone, nothing to see here, everything is fine. Just don't complain when it happens again!...
If you aren't preparing you ain't gonna make it ! (see my sitting duck picture a few posts ago from media page!)
But Amikke you're probably not one of these...
A sign of good work is one you can visit again and enjoy again...
I was thinking this while re-visiting some of my own pages of learning (freeschool) thinking after I find something great again which came from working on it in the past, often burst-mode working (press the CPU button!) and then closing of that topic very satisfied... and then leaving them there almost alone... only to find how easily I can enjoy them again and even link to them today!
I often thank myself how I managed to centralised the collect things in one place in such detail both for eye-candy or relativity.
"Excellent." I say to myself and even close the page having done the work for me so quickly!
(I would say excellent even if it wasn't my own work)
So while it helps I know what I've written and search myself, still what I have built as a school on my site is as in real life and JUST needs a bit of searching and will-power on your side (your own direction and even faith in me or yourself) and you'll find some things that are like 'WOW that's actually quite good! Thanks!"
This is not an advert - it just is!!!
Ask and I'll give you my best!
Or pick a search word / topic and find something surprising there!

Even a combination of these....
1- JUST tear some bit of of magazine or even cut into 10cm lengths… bingo….
WORK with supermarket magazines, newspaper etc
2- Leaves (because sometimes it’s right there staring you in the face and is clean piled on each and could just be lightly sprayed / dipped in water)
3- Cutting t-shirts or old clothes for mini-towels - really re-usable and slightly wet can even be nice
4- Hose-pipe from inside toilet or spray gun from toilet tank + towel just for drying.
5- Scrap paper / printer paper - a luxury!
6- Sponge / something soft
WHATEVER the experiment or test you ave to do just not the diesel-smoking industry-BURNING lightweight toilet transport BEING thermodynamically carried from one side to the other 100's/1000's of km's with a variety of transport!
When meeting a new woman i can hope for one of four outcomes.
1. We dont like eachother at all and go our seperate ways, happy and peaceful forever.
2. We like eachother a little bit and become life long happy friends
3. One of us likes thr othrr alot and its awkward and creepy and painful
4. We both like eachother a lot and have a few months that are thr happiest time one can hope for before one of us dumps the other and its months of misery and pain.
@bitcoinmagazine
Would be a good reminder if you could say one or two sentences why what she said is not true as the picture and one liner AGAINST bitcoin is what you;re showing mostly ad would be good to bury it with educated response just to make sure and answer it :)
Capitalism seems to ecompass a big group doing it's thing but with specific bad tactics over individuals... greed seems more general more individually orientated smaller scale conscious choice individual behaviour or cluster of...
and @yassin comment did it really well in their reply! I wrote mine without seeing yassin said:
"Because capitalism refers to the systemic dimension while greed describes an individual trait, merely aiming at the psychological dimension."
NICE1 YASSIN.
btw Aral some perpective from my side about your post... A lot of time I never know with your posts if it's mostly for you that you're writing or actually you want longer answers to such short and even borderline ambiguous stuff (this post was clearer than the rich kids growing up post which isn't clear what you think 'rich kids growing up' means). Anyway why I mention this is that a post can seem both for yourself or FOR the public mainly... so might be worth signalling something if it's a throw away comment or really you're interested...
I guess being a popular person you have to ignore much of this and accept short isn't clear but also you would get more clarity in reply if clear initially and not after someone replies to you and you might say 'no I didn't mean that' or make a mess of things!)
So in another way it's TOO easy to ask short and then mention to any comment you might not like that it's too long or short or ''I didn't mean that' or think someone is being ''xyz''')... Not saying you do tell people that but help the sending like me also consider how deep you're into it or if you're own thinking space...
but anyway disclaimer aside that was my answer above and some perspective I noticed while thinking to answer or not you questions (or were they questions who knows! Rhetorical, deep, ?).
I might have to copy and paste a disclaimer for you posts until I'm a bit sure or learn your ways (if possible)... :) Least the replies on this were of quality and depth I like... thanks also to them

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...

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!).

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...!
