Increasing personal contact for me is the way... not saying no tech but to keep a lid on it and going for the people upgrades instead... 

Reducing or maintaining tech and doing the people thing. Because I for longevity and practice it's the people thing and I feel tech above a certain level of tech (like having Mastodon recently is quite enough) actually programming more can be hogging time and our squirrelling of perhaps is just not maintainable later or further attacked anyway.
So if now Mastodon is taken to be enough to develop and make contact with each other and then Jitsi Meet for audio/video, The we have more perfect relationships and sense of comfort with each other.

What else do we want / need? (and yes some of us will still do more stuff so don't worry just take foot of the gas a bit and head for the people)

When we have text and audio chats UNITED I think we can be united ourselves and quite formidable BUT again we just have to practise weekly talking more often... about everything and everything will slowly get better (more practised people).

IF THERE IS SOMEWHERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LET'S MAKE A LIST WHILE GOOD POOL OF PEOPLE ARE HERE -
GO EARLY FOR THESE THINGS

@barefootstache
Think that is obvious

- from back in the days Google was stand out most powerful / rewarding etc etc (not knowing Google's model we used it like 'they' the people now, it's totally the same phase for them, maybe even longer as they are into computers less)

- Having 1 word is often better / snappier than many or a sentence, a kinda euphemism or fun shortening (and was added to dictionary so it is a word)

- Merging the company name and ing makes Googling quite a clever all-in-one adjective that we became used to. Again language + merging meanings.

- because people still use it despite knowing danger and their expectation levels / luxury cannot be lowered trying and missing with search elsewhere (I take my own evidence a bit but duse the net less to balance expectation) so with less invasive, less syndicated (etc), less resourceful types of engines people are happy someone else does the $hitty work

Summary
- lots of ammunition above even at medium strength
- people of 'our calibre' of will and ability and know-how STILL use the word or engine although hard to measure and most of this is probably a type fading (hopefully) of both spoken or acted out habits. Even in my own endeavours there are people like (&^^! who say to me here I'm against google/youtube completely "but to reach the masses" (paraphrase) I use the google/youtube link (instead of invidious) to get the nice auto-embedded thumbnails to come up in my post which doesn't in my posts on xyz platforms.
Convenience. Speed. Presentation.
Just some of the reasoning why people can't go back or not willing to 'take the hit' themselves in how good things are AND ACCEPT LESS.

P.S -------------------
- Never heard 'torching' the web which shows how new that is if I don't know about the phrase or remember.
- Never heard "searXng" the web, looks a bit porn related written down and not sure how I would say it. Feel free to educate / explain that.

Just recently added that last one and works, even before the fuckfuckgo business though didn't read into it that much as can switch without feeling too betrayed or whatever happens with next business model etc. It's to be expected with business and therefore reducing tech and increasing personal contact for me is the way.

Complaining about BigTech also advertises their name over and over... we can inadvertantly help advertise and spread bad news that they want spreading if it's true "Any news is good news" for bigtech...... 

So yes BigTech is doing bad but at the same time remember not to advertise their name too much like a reproduction speaker / copycat tannoy system!

It's a hard balance but perhaps I mean not being stuck in complaining mode and trying to find a positive way or completely different route without them....

We do feel things close to us so I get the knee-jerking feeling but I feel we have to move on to do our own things and even copy what they do but more in our own field of usage and safely, more for us than them.

Think speaking about things on a subliminal type of level when you're shouting out the oppressors name continually, and if it begins with G...F...A (or the other A) then consider not using them AT ALL or somehow not in a blaming / powerless way! We need to do xyz
(I think this sound right but I'm considering I might to improve this solution not to act as lower than them etc)

Because complaining includes a % of advertising or spreading that is why I suggest double-checking it
(especially if they want that as advertising and release bad news to increase awareness for products or before new releases so everybody hears about it)

Overall it's time for solutions to be promoted (your own included) and for those to be in the foreground and just using that...
and leaving those brand names behind!
*Go*All*Fantastic*Alternatives!

I love people who can explain things consistently regardless of their background or current topic... 

What worse than someone that has bias is the mainstream bully industry and businesses attached that will never do anything to follow or lead their own rubbish and will never accept anything other than their own 'measurements' and values...

...so on that basis I like this Bitcoin commentary episode below as they are much more intent to answer and debate and much more responsive to questions than the government pretending in parliament for example... these are actual people (as opposed to sleepy old I-don't-understand people)... we want people who know much more, can explain it until the death calmly without authority complexes... so whatever you think about this link or whatever *just please* not having lying monsters and business tactics sucking out energy via money and I'm happy to say FUCK BITCOIN! Just take the suffering and taxing off being alive to feed the rich or wasteful system... and bring back something more reliable (even if it wastes in other ways). Preserving the truth or value rates very highly which ever way you look at it (and I'm not asking you to look at it more than accept these existing bad people are just legal robbers and never accept they were or are wrong-doers time and time over)

In this episode Wikipedia / Wikipedia / Mozilla is said to be used as influencers to reject new payment ways (even though they were accepting donations with it before) and also by people that might not understand much (similar to 'our' politicians) who might have a bit more credibility because we know politicians don't.
So I admit even the most biased Bitcoin stuff seems a lot more down to earth than the existing cheating stealing banks and governments working together - THAT IS 100% NOT THE WAY!

Bitcoin Developer Explains Controversial CTV Upgrade | EP 480

Banks are political (pick and choose) who they loan out money to... % catch up / increase stress!... 

Banks are political (pick and choose) who they loan out money to (picture hints to that).

It more about re-enforcing existing profitable practises I think than helping people... and while they may have reasons to check (I'm being generous to them) I don't think they would even try a bit to try speculate something nice for people (they still collect I think if business fails which about 50% do in 1st two years)

This is a vicious cycle for what they don't fund... (because effectively they kill those idea or do not giving life to those people or things - even though I believe in the long term 0 debt is the way and giving people debt is never really any solution... or never equalises, merely passes on higher % on the bad tangent of 'money# they started doing in a faulting way of life and basis for man-made virtual numbers for living (and of course fiddling the books or agreeing with job makers ho to get the maximum output from everyone)... so this tangent of money is growing negatives numbers AT THE SAME TIME as loaning money... so even if the origins of money existed and were pure, the banks 'service' of chargnig % means there is still MUCH MORE DEBT IN TOTAL accumulated with time and masses of people)...

So this is bad equation we are in now where not giving money = death and giving money also = death / more debt in total practically unpayable (you die for your work and still keep paying endless unlimited % yourself OR the government's borrowing and charge %'s to your people forcing them to stay busy and not solve the real things in life and to enable them to make/pay for their own bad DisneyLand which we're just now realising on a daily basis we have to go more from scratch with defective by design tool (including money!)

%'s catch up and increase stress / suffering!... therefore death (over longer period of time and less easy to see the dead body or starvation from siphoning people's blood via %'s.... drip drip)

utilitarianism: suffering is bad

stoicism: some suffering is inevitable and necessary

I invented "offboarding" as the natural business cycle after "onboarding" people!... 

@worldsendless Kinda politely "are you surprised" comes to mind... and if not happening now, then anyway 100% for sure sometime later or soon thigns are going to turn bad (if we are seeing across the board patterns as 'they' / business regress things / tighten up and offboard people)

:) hehe I invented offboarding as term...
Naturally the nature of a business cycle after onboarding is then picking and choosing premium customers or how the freebie-people use their own services!
"HEY YOU PAY UP!!!...
HEY JUMP MORE HOOPS,... 10 PUSHUPS NOW!...
DON'T TELL ME ABOUT I DIDN'T WARN YOU - READ YOUR T's AND C's...
10 MORE FOR THE BACKTALK and ATTENTION FROM YOUR PROTEST THAT BOOSTS MY BRAND NAME AND LOGO!...

[Ahem, excuse the dictator in the background - just get ready when it* happens !]

*it being ambiguous to save me explaining but also as a umbrella reality for one of the many things possible (not even worth writing and giving ideas too- I've literally wrote them down privately! Call it modern business in general or one of those defective-by-design things becoming common etc)

This may also help send the message to everyone to Do It Yourself more to maintain better control or not get locked out one day from a 'new idea' others have or becomes the new fashion in business...

I wrote this fast (sorry if it's off-topic) but anyway offboarding - save it as a term for now or later :)

Music for mathematicians to consider (not just numbers, calculate this!!...)

...with a bit more soul that your average pop, go DubFX! :)

Lyrics... (take a few times to get it)

"long division is a timely process,
subtract thought the shadows and darkness
multiply your movements to shine,
add all your thoughts
to equal sublime"

"one connected collective consciousness..."

Not saying it's perfect but it sends some clear direction with maths and consciousness merged.

@VoteChess
Well done to the only other voter for the chess move who agreed with me... whoever you are :)

Mastodon Home Timeline... diminishing returns, cutting down, re-focussing relativity... 

Checking my home timeline :(
I find very little interested me or was ok so-so but more a case of diminishing returns for eye-ball and scrolling it all. Not terrible but hmmm.
Maybe cutting down on mass...
Also a reflection of my own choices perhaps...
Easy to say 'No more' checking home... but anyway... more personal contact and sessions for the way...
What is responsive or 'interesting' in the now is probably a high probability is I am thinking relativity will solve more things between people or educate them.
What do think about your own Timeline. Can see a few people started again but changing the Home might be good (if I can really see the good for myself in posts in future).

@jerry
If it's not too insensitive to honestly consider as a one avenue to let doggy go somehow nicely (sleep) I was wondering what you think about that- probably more in consideration if it's true troubles will reoccur and even cost (perhaps much down the list but yes costs too for further xyz check and big surgery and even similar situations down the lien repeating)
Total sympathies with dogo - probably should be written first, but at the same time if it's quite certain etc... well wondering what you thing (brain, heart, and both)
Thanks

@purism @LambLeeg I would say its probably on the level of Android 1 or 2, but progressing fast. Especially when you consider the limited resources compared to Google.
And for some people that level is enough and a reason to break out of Google surveillance.

Anti-abortion legislation isn't just anti-woman (but oh boy is it anti-woman), it's also anti-child.

Nobody wants an abortion, but when someone has one, they do it because they feel like they are not able to care for a child. With abortion being illegal, people will be forced to have a child that they didn't want... So this means more children having bitter parents, or living in poverty, or living with whatever other conditions that would lead someone to want an abortion.
