Re-edited version (as said, and so you don't have to do it)
-changed font colour
-font size
-3rd panel cropped to keep main focus
@feditips
Great - feel free to use my versions and repost (the cropped ones without 3 panels showing)
And if you need something just let me know.
For the dark monitor I can just up the contrast but now I know it's there I can still use in 'dark dark mode!' (L:
But actually you have a point I'll try it now! Always useful thanks FediTips !!
LandLords and Economy...
@bhaugen @humanetech @rysiek@mastodon.technology @TerryHancock @homegrown @erosdiscordia @Gargron
I totally think the same about economy in the sense about managing the household (which turns out to be right now LandLords managing us and their household !) but more of a united and more humble planet care-taking... (or just less-taking!)
One could see it humanly too (if only) then we could get down to real 'business' of life (which I think is chasing happiness and respect for in our differences while giving in to our giving nature) but yes mainly the managing the planet life-giving things stuff with happiness in work
... all without mentioning things like love or giving meaning to what we do and because growing loving and meaning seems to rub people up the wrong way in it's 'other' meanings...)
Managing freedom better sound good.

Welcome to Free School :D ---^
I SYMPATHISE... But you have yourself as example also for not talking to people perhaps...
@tio I SYMPATHISE. Really
But apart from the reasons of fear / scarcity / greed / not knowing how to share etc... for other reasons you have also your own evidence and reasons, for example for unsaid reasons not really talking about things with me. And I don't claim to be God but at least another free person and without any reasons why... Like seriously you chat so much with others but from message #1 something off on your side... so you could be part of it too... this is a constructive look at that and take your time too - I write a lot and it's not rage (this is also your own thing that you're asking to solve maybe through others going through same things with others! It's quite the same perplexing unreasoned thing happening all the time and details like this eventually might win logic instead of xyz people never see or mention)
Adn no need read this if you're not interesting
and too busy... for social change and feedback about what you wrote. Too busy of course classic phrase for I don't want.
If it's only about free-trade tools, then have it and it'll be clear for me personally free can't work without the social side which maybe you're doing but not with me (you got years ahead pick a day!).
Going into more detail from my side and considering your position here's a real scenario for you:
So just imagine there are two Trom-like people but the other one doesn't even want to speak to the other right from the beginning despite the initial praise / asking to help / etc ...
and then talking about their work, doesn't address any of the comments they get... oh yeah they send someone else to do the kinds of PR work (which was great) but not you... and then after not explaining and my advances, one or twice there is a short emo-TLDR type response / and even calling me a mess.
Well sure go ahead and blame others for not communicating but having a 1 way communication in life sucks and without reasoning.
Not good by your own standards I think not even mond.
People don't even understand that it encourages more other feelings. People don't just dies suddenly and go away. You 2nd message was threatening to block after being silent. That's stupid man.
For investing time - it's the people thing AND THEN money maybe on the side.. First to say why you didn't write them,,,, do some work. I mean if it happened to you, you'd be like what's up let's work it out. Well this is also the case with you perhaps money donations or not/
This is the trying to finally understand broken link or psychology between civilisation. Just gotta get through the jungle. It's not only the fiat money and donations it's all the long-winded stuff attached with human thinking- giving them/me/people free space etc is only going to be limited in effect and even abuse of free people from not being appreciated.
Read almost an inventors story (until it was developed for things like war and it's like "hey yeah we'll talk to you now great go ahead and do that thing you do with code or machiens"
it's simply not taking the time to talk... build... and perhaps you have, but not with me (violins but this is also for others to learn from)
so your own fear... or something is not clear here. Never said.
From the Free in my own name you should really feel I'm on the same level or at least check me out before ignoring (or leave things and on 2nd msg say "it's enough or I'll block you" (almost to that same sentence). Can't just do that in life and guess what that dynamic comes back (humanity can't shrug the relationship with others).
So some sincere messages are sent and then increasingly frustrated ones BUT always it's about people not managing to get to audio talk.
So that's the case in questions how it's possible two people can't do it...
How 2 Troms / 2 Freeschool or Free-thinkers, Freedom lovers can't even talk lol sad but breathing out and back to it no for solving?
So I suggest you resolve this probably later to disprove this theory too but for those out there wondering PEOPLE THEMSELF ARE BLIND / IGNORANT / Bourgeois and Too stuck in their work (for the 'cause' even) to actually see "hello" someone is in front of you and was patient in the waiting too.
You got priorities or excuses too maybe both but time is something we have lots of...
Personally this can wait and can be done later but you take your own message of 'surprised' or wondering why it's not working because you surely didn't explain it at all to me and socially people have to feel good to donate (not all your fault).
If there is 1 Trom like person or Freeschooler who asked me, man, I would take it with both hands jump into the Jitsi call like I said for 30mins or just 10mins lol...
If not just message them... The question here is why not... and there you have your light about why people are willing to let you starve without respect for what you do.
So yea after you're done with project maybe, you said you have maybe a month left - I think you might be ready then - maybe not)
Often a crisis or breakup is needed or somehow desperate scenarios before we realise who / what counts.
This is part of it though - you seem to have PLENTY of time for other stuff and wish you well for that.
I really don't see your fear or whatever...
OTHER TOPIC - ABOUT SINCERITY AND 'DUBIOUS' PERSONS
And without me in the mix here I think actually SINCERITY is almost widely mistaken for being a bad person... lol I know it's strange/not logical but exactly that words strange = emotional for the person so not just with you but maybe why people don't donate or communicate or stay away or whatever is about "WHY IS THIS GUY DOING IT ALL FOR FREE?" or learning all this stuff - he must be a XYZ!!!!
And then for names (which can be misleading)... ok Trom maybe doesn't say much but FREESCHOOL - fuck that must be a piss-take or SARCASM - if I try here I might get egg of my face for trying and look stupid so forget trying and for saving the world - I should save my ego or feelinsg or whatever
AND You must be criminal or scammer or hateful person or something else is up with all that FREE you are aiming for... I mean I have my troubles and I don't particularly like the bank but I can't even trust you to talk! Better with those massive anon institutes yeah!
And actually I gotta block you because you might be hacking me!
So lame / far others. There's probably more point but I covered the main gates of thought that trigger running / hiding or lack of courage / fear to find out what this person is about.
SUMMARY
People (and their 'people-skills') are ill man and I think they only want or expect 'certain' types to respond or something - which is so far gone it's almost like ethnic-cleansing type stuff for the digital world). I've contact people from their own site and already their up inside their own doubts someone really is sharing what they put online lol.
No wonder money has taken over - we could even love things together
Sure if you're a big cheese or given cred by institutes you might mean something enough to get "I'm a doctor" credibility but even that doesn't mean you're still an ass. Anything in the world of insecure / pessimist people works for them.
GET SOME TEA - MY OWN STORY ABOUT MONEY
It's also hard to give money away or handle it.... The inherit % loss all the time means it's scarce or like gold dust (literally because it is being eroded and that's partially the habit of needing more and to squirrel it away) so you might know that but we all are just learning (like 5mins ago) and reminding ourselves it doesn't work either way... so we HAVE NO CHOICE but to spend / use with LIKE-MINDED people what value it has left and die out that way. Else MORE OFTEN fall into the same traps (being cornered and alone too increasingly) of those corralling the small fish (the big fish). Your tools will help dude but socially it can fail totally on that front.
So I put my hand up for when I could have even given to a friend when needed but just because he spend it at the pub (wasn't much money) I didn't give it and that was last I saw of him... And I wasn't poor by far...
I also think people don't like the medium anyway (at all sometimes) and this is the bottom line as a "only if I have to spend" is the thing and there is a bit of a cruel justice happening like you explained in your situation that people don't give UNLESS THEY HAVE TO... then it's probably similar to people thinking "I don't need to talk to him, her, him xhe xyz"... but they dont' see that's it the justice exactly like giving of money or not because from all of us not doing it festers and even helps the bad.
To clarify about the money and keep context: By not spending on you they lose more perhaps... but also things are equalising these initially-false bubbles of money so as people spend minimally is kinda-works until all of us become so poor or cornered by credit% (and big fish) that maybe we to *need* to talk to each other again and cooperate ... NO CHOICE! Only when we are starving from communication, depression, breakups, whatever - only then 'the penny drops' in their head that it's important to keep giving and in your case not just free-tools but social other changes direct/indirect (you might be already I haven't been checking on you so you judge yourself)
FORCE AS USUAL IS NEEDED OTHERWISE "WHY BOTHER"
SO as usual force of some kind is needed (tax, war or famine or bank recession etc)... I'm not going to force you but your point is good people for many reasons won't give, don't know how this works in humanity, and then in some way free also wants to be free too but in a world like this needs more diversity and input into free (like living in a house instead of individuals all paying rent)
But sadly people don't see the relationship side like "ONE FAMILY" it's is not their aim, luxuries and levels increased or standards means people are not able to grasps the feeling of "oh yeah that's what's going to win things better and be a bit more fun" and "I could be homeless too when they come for me or decide to screw the next levels up"
SUMMARY (I KNOW IT WAS LONG / I TRIED)
For many reasons justified in lack of giving, we could also train those that have ample and make something easier or better practised even indirectly working with it. To even train people to give is good overall because business is mostly a cut-throat numerical thing (de-humanising) and therefore gets worse through those de-humanising filters or work. Better umbrellas of people... with houses and space and money and some fucking fun even danger.
So anyway when you feel for it later///
LET'S GET FIXING SOCIETY AND PEOPLE.
NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.
FREE HAS IT'S LIMITS or is just one half.
TALKING / GROWING PEOPLE is the other half and covers top of te habit and action tree so HAS MUCH LE$$ LIMITS.
GOTTA PLAY WITH WHAT CARDS WE HAVE BETWEEN US.. YAWN FASTLY WRITTEN NO OFFENCE ETC....
Yeah you missed a whole bunch of stuff... but yeah maybe it's more about your feelings moer than anything...
@aral
but obviously you didn't miss everything that you chose to list.
Perhaps it's honeypot for people to say "Yeah Aral but the West do the same / did the same" but anyway the other the comment covers what we in the West also do - simply not on 'our' own soil or or so obviously *cough cough*... and
yes it's bad either way regardless
So what's you point is often what I ask.. are you trying to get us to talk - do you want feedback... are you just emotional?
So MORE than this topic it's so obvious how you just pin-point some things and then... have mostly a Yes / No at the end.... but not really going to discuss it yourself (well maybe yo do sometimes).
But unless it triggers you even more maybe no reply... like a constant triggered-only thing...
News comes up and there's Aral again.
So I'm not sure about you for the talking about it side... but it's obviously self-serving and emotional (which of course we grant each other)
BUT
your seemingly slightly TLDR / Y/N / emotional things without middle ground between us... is frankly a bit of a tease and ask to read you mind... and a bit of a time-waster
Short posts and sometimes no reply from you probably makes me say that and you might wonder why people turn from constructive stuff to unconstructive (it gets more reply!). Kinda same as war.
ANYWAY PART 2 IS CALLED "NOT JUST ARAL - IT'S UNREACHABLE PEOPLE / EMOTIONS WITHOUT CONVERSATION"
So it's less about Aral only or anybody but identifying this overall conversation directly that has society frustrated and actually kills time in their privilege (sorry and I know it's not all our fault but you can help in talking directly more) - and occasionally it happens but doesn't feel like a way of life - still very protective (talk happens mostly in the programming fields as far as I can see but you call your own experience too about all these other wars).
I reserve the right to change my view a bit but that's how I feel Aral - feelings feelings far away feelings :)
No offence just that's the 'West's' dynamic and perhaps real problem and potential.
TLDR or similar kills too (without being too dramatic either).
Congrats if read this far - that's half the process perhaps. Get in touch for your talking about your own POSITIVE STUFF,,,
if we want to go for size :)

NEW: “True independence is not possible without monetary independence.” - Human Rights Foundation CSO on #Bitcoin 👏
@humanetech @aral
What is hidden comes out occasionally stemming from
- existing bias
- lack of worldly awareness homework
- just judging too quickly overall
- expecting others to fix it rather than fix your own house / put you own house in order (as one of the ways to fix everything else)
Easy is to block people / cut off your own communication limbs to spite other people's faces.
True bravery in this sense - is currently lacking. Call it armchair politics or something similar.
Ok back to work for me - practising people / fixing each other! (of course those reading might say "I don't need fixing" which is much the same as "I'm quite perfect or not in need for you to test me I'm a grown adult"... ! Indeed !
@stux
- minus the word incredible perhaps
- just running no shooting
shrug
That's exactly the kind of reverse psychology I need!...
@selfcare_gentle The initial quote by the selfcare bot I follow said:
"You don't have to finish it all today."
That's exactly the kind of reverse psychology I need!
@bitcoinmagazine
What happened to his leg?
Not sure in what way you meant by "economic" but yes in general maybe to rope things of that nature IF at the same time we can literally convert culture itself (what it uses and is aware of) as well as allowing people certain access or way of doing things on the economic front (i,e. Facebook pays in some sense for you to use it, and that could be same as 'us' or on the side of Fedi thought more about social more discoverable things or ways to stay alive! I dare not say money or even Bitcoin but something to tie in things without hanging itself so quickly either).
Treacherous grounds perhaps...
Maybe explore more what you meant by " economic networks " bhaugen, here or via DM, as it's appealing though one hand is slapping the other right now for even writing something agreeing with economics!! But eventually yes in many forms of the word and doing things together...
@bhaugen @humanetech @rysiek@mastodon.technology @TerryHancock @homegrown @erosdiscordia @Gargron
@Binkle @becassine
I honestly think with the modern techniques (that people don't understand) that more chilled sleeping people are at least better (in comparison) to other people that FUCK THINGS UP FAST :)
Not looking at anyone but by design doing stuff is now out of realm of useful and 'max' mentality truly done well to fuck or maximised things. At least sleepers don't do 100 things bad
Many other things but that's the short of it.
Mastodon Screenshot Tips + Funny Story Using Dark Mode... :)
@feditips
It's a good FediTips - I've made some visual variations of your screenshots to help make it more easier to see
Summary of pictures:
- Add visible (lighter colours, yellow on black for example or just not dark colours)
- Larger font (you had space too)
Also people can read picture from far away / without loading big picture! (using my screenshots I can read it from preview and learn quicker! I couldn't see writing before- too small)
Just to keep in mind - you're tips are doing great - just big and yellow will help magnify your magnificent work!
2nd funny story relating to this search box in the top left)
For a long time I am using my monitor on 0 brightness, 10 Contrast... Try it (so not 50:50 or 0:50 as normal but super low and eyes can work x10) and I'd realised (until asking you one day) that I'd never seen that box before because it was so dark on my screen!! LOLS
(modified examples attached)
- Includes cutting out parts occasionally (like 3rd panel as it's less important / can be included in other pics)... which also helps make preview bigger
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!).

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...!
