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....

"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).. 

@alcinnz

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 we could have something different to Law what could we call it? 

(something that serves similar but is obviously more known as many laws are not known until much later. Something not just to serve them or just apply to us as a cold control mechanism- what would that be or what would you call it?)

If it's always going to change for the worse... or get rug-pulled... (making something more solid and ours long-term instead).. 

@alcinnz

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).
qoto.org/@freeschool/108121601
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.

I've been adjusting to not being on my medication for ADHD and women are more distracting to me lately. It's almost as if I'm a young man and not a machine now. Carpe Diem?
Perhaps I can have something else going on in my life than tech.
