@trinsec good work... keep it up
I mean,,, cut it down, compost it etc... :)
Welcome to the Metrics... Welcome to the Matrix...
You gotta learn more than maths and science in order to get out...
That's how bad it is...
Welcome to the Metrics
( Welcome to the Matrix )
You want out?
I'm not selling you the answer...
The answer can't be sold...
If you want real answers...
comforting and un-comforting
then...
you're going to need to learn...
specifically:
Trust yourself as the main even in uncomfortable knowledge
Learn to trust the right others, ups and downs are normal
Most social control is yourself holding back / not trying
Learning to how human manipulation works while maintaining as sense of humanity and not silencing / burning people back.
And actively traversing that
Not in defence-mode always covering up and waiting to get hit...
Welcome to the Metrics
( Welcome to the Matrix )
I also bring to you FreeSchool
A temporary FastTrack to learning...
Together occasionally we can do most things...
Your progression is also inside this whole learning.
It's also your choice.

LONGER / ECO-SYSTEM EXPLAINED
------------------------------------
LISTEN TO 'YOUR' MUSIC AND PLAY the HOME-GROWN music
and LESS HOLLYWOOD-only AUDIO...
send me your music! And listen!...
Home-Grown Music!...
WHY?
The existing system is not ours.
We lack ownership and control when it gets over-commercialised.
Playing each other's own-made music more often creates and keep relativity.
Get in touch with real people (each other!)
Our own eco-system = WIN:WIN FOR ALL
(without too many middle-men in between!)
At least play/hear music by more home-grown like-minded people if you don't think you're going to be hollywoood any time soon!
Hollywood production is good but sooo distant also...
Even with good productions THAT ECO-SYSTEM IS:
- over-quality / expensive sets
- over-consumptive / wasteful in resources
- questionable in it's 'business' making from people by forcing many things as part of the template
Bring it down a bit to your own level (our level) so you don't have to kill yourself to get into 'Hollywood' :)
It makes sense to accept people listening more instead and perhaps donating that way since there's too many people to get in Hollywood so that's not possible anyway. Or this just might be another way anyway to enjoy it while we're still alive!
Just play each others music instead! I'll definitely listen!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS EXAMPLE? I've got it on repeat :)
Freedom creates feelings - and people probably want to avoid that ... Running away from Slavery, even successfully with door open causes feelings, so also for that reason people might not even want to escape or try new ways... even for free oe freedom!..
Like running away from slavery, one might ask 'what next after?' and 'is it better I just stay here?' so all the while people stay in the slavery.
Unless someone really payed them or gave guarantees they wouldn't move.
100% guarantees also don't exist and is what perhaps capitalism tries to portray a bit to lull people (which don't exist whichever way you go promises aren't really always possible- you will need to think for yourself, defend yourself at some point!)
Humanity is less daring perhaps to have a part in Freedom and have try because of how scary it is and in that way new and even 'strange' (=causes emotions)
Freedom also creates feelings so people also probably avoid Freedoms also for that reason....
'but what if'
Meeting Today (Sunday)... Just message to join anytime....
Topic = Cult and Culture (listening or speaking / temporary group!)
"Drive A: doesn't exist".... huh?
Was typing in a "Save As..." box
by mistake I typed drive "a:" instead of some other drive letter
" Drive a: does not exist "
" Please Check the drive and try again"
The moment took me back a little...
I kinda had to look at the machine....
I don't have a drive a:
!!! Not any more !!!
Then it felt like a forgotten limb I just remembered and even maybe needed to install...
Nostalgia can get us every time but maybe we must get past the physicality of IBM
and somewhere a bit further as humans... that's just my feeling.
@freemo :) The Ummm is for reading the Guardian in the first place I suppose (:
But, also the title yes.
Btw Freemo I've sent you a few DM's without reply and not fav'd (which you don't have to but also makes me think you might not have got message) - it could be you have something not quite right there, it's been a few messages recently [Mar 4, 14] on a few topics. Hope you're good in general and know you had a busy trip recently.

If it's always going to change for the worse... or get rug-pulled... (making something more solid and ours long-term instead)..
Indeed - I was a bit fast there, and fact I might have to say to myself to slow down a bit :)
As a 2nd attempt / summary I guess following the native architecture on servers and what works already is what I like and even want more of (FTP is one example perhaps better than anything else if you can stick to it's basics in certain contexts or balanced - I find Nextcloud an unnecessary layer for my basic usage). And then these basic ALL towards education
...but maybe I don't offer concrete solution beyond the computer basics and then human improvement / evolution.
Reverting back to those almost offline type things and existing server structures I liked the idea of.
Similar to what we use already offline that works and is 'interoperable' with other people's file and formats. But will give this one a rest. Thanks.
If it's always going to change for the worse... or get rug-pulled... (making something more solid and ours long-term instead)..
Forgive me it's morning where I usually have the best and worst ideas... as usual it needs a rethinking and looking at in different ways but this is my quick-best which I'm sure I'll revisit myself....
Perhaps it's not about heading for choice when it's always going to change for the worse in this kind of industry which makes us chase all the time and makes what is good to go bad and over-controlled / monopolised / bought out.
The aim might be / could more / should be (?) about making it *ours* whatever we do. Making development stick to this headline and perhaps even creating our own ways with what is less changeable and probably already exists. I'm thinking what is native to server as it's basic functionality.
We would then optionally install something for satisfying something else (for banking etc) so perhaps not an all-in-one design which demands a lot and has many deal breakers... and this is talking generally here not necessarily for this existing development exactly.
As food for thought designing or using something that already does what we do but perhaps improve the other sides (I mentioned a few things before like Advertising Education for Open Source world).
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108121601509467853
Getting people's mind and togetherness right in a human sense and also technological (buying pine phones or librelaptops and helping that at same time etc), Tying it all.
Something that makes what we do make and design as interoperable as basics are (like files) or adjustably basic as possible so in the long term we don't get constantly rug-pulled or undone as big bits of our own work from the 'work' or others they simply hire (hiring skill-sets like mercenaries towards domination / monopoly / reducing effective opposition).
This maybe too premature or not precisely written, but doing work around what they frankly they own is always going to be on the horizon as everything else is a temporary thing unless it locks in something with teeth to avoid that or make it very costly or even financially rewarding users to snow ball that instead of destroy it.. which might be short term too. So this is what I mean when I say chasing; if they own / control things more than we then at some point we accept and head for something else (using google while closing all the reasons you use it) and trying not to give them ideas on pushing other things either. The whole system is theirs, yes we choose where to stand.. and again all is appreciated and I'm not claiming more than keeping to basics which I think we all are somewhat... but not expecting same-same or even similar products or services always or to feed their bad designs.
Eventually people are being politically kicked out of things, rug-pulled, oxygen-starved while people claim they didn't do it... so it means we have to accept less in long term, and perhaps with my designer hat on, much less.
Again, I mean something that stays right more often or works well already, something like what offline does or audio between us etc.
And then generally after to increment some blocks of things that are equally sold or basic, maybe just a reinterpretation of basic rather than big dependency where 1 thing breaks the complex features on top.
Adding a plugin or module for 1 specific task perhaps to try to achieve something in our world or our design or maybe for 'their' world as an equivalent or token attempt while still focussing just add-ons from existing basics *keeping* basics... which in the end we might just call pictures and text for the most part!
Again a quick post. which like everything needs 2nd...3rd..4th pass with people's input too...
Thanks for your work.

Meeting in 1hr!
Topic = Cult and Culture...
https://meet.jit.si/culture
A few rounds of casual listening or speaking in a temporary group!
+1hr of this message time
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
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
