My fear is parents bring us here and are willing to pay any cost to stay alive. This is a death in itself.
I sound like a Japanese warrior.

Media is just almost too good!

https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=0hOLO9TlCy8

At the end this is spoiling my dreams that they did it all un-funded and it's not sponsored by their parents!!

Such a hard balance of raw money funding, and millions of talented people...
How in the world can win in that (together) and also not playing the money games also isn't clear well from this point or even from scratch or our own model!...

Let me know if you have some answers!

Boost if you got gold stars when you were younger and kinda miss them!!

It's almost a good idea not to represent yourself with flags or colours... (maybe) because often it's about the other peoples understanding and meaning of it
(which if you're serious about misconceptions and over-reaction without understanding means that talking or showing flags upfront maybe too fast for the wrong feelings AND excluding somewhat...)

I reserve the right to change this a bit but right now seems very real and if you think of it in terms of 'priority layers' or which way around or what is first layers to show someone... often flags etc are too over-simplified or full of misunderstanding (for others)...

It's tricky as there is my showing of it and perhaps it's unknown how much I like X or what context / exclusions etc and then also how you interpret or recieve these words)

So it's almost like doing it for them more than you (<--- this might cause feelings because yes it's about you and don't give up yourself but in the overall sense of understanding it's about being secure you know and prioritising more the mini-part of everything (which usually cross or have affinity in many ways), so the *sense and logic of all the components* are the prevailing factor more than a flag... which maybe you can reveal when you're a bit more sure

Mini-Example when people have 'rainbow colours' (context is needed like outside or in bedroom etc) but this feels like it could be 100 things (insert you version of rainbow flag here] and well you have to be pretty good in explaining and if this disease (TLDR syndrome) is true then in 2mins covering rainbow will exclude a lot and people tend to take the first few things you say and emotions flood the gates that can't stop the feeling flowing any more!!!! (imagine a tidal wave sometimes)

So it's easy to repel people also by saying things without time or proper understanding like startin with "I'm conscious about many things the have the same roots..." and starting from there...
This also is a bit triggering for me also as I like to be clear but on-going judgement is more welcome than "oh fuck I asked that guy how he is and HE REALLY TOLD ME!" - and I read (trigger) someone going to prison very easily from his flags (so the fault of others again) and perhaps not saying is leaving people to do MORE homework eventually is the winner for individualism (if we all have various levels of love and affinity with things, exclusions, different vocab etc), so if that prevails as it's own unique thing then maybe everyone can be a lot calmer?
If you are taken to be in xyz cult or labelled regularly then it's a consideration depending on how much of a 'teacher' you want to be (passive or more direct),,, because logically also the first things people say is what is listened to or made time for... people exit quick too so expecting that is just actually life today... I say make a meeting if you really want more open talk and force them to sit through it since they chose that workshop!

I know it's hard when representing something trying not speaking on behalf of it all (oh cruel life, thank you kinda!)... and then also not wanting to seemingly evade questions either which needs some very wise words also in order not to over-represent or get into comparisons or vocab too deep and stick to talking from one's self instead of only demanding or directing people without a bit more reasoning or will for it).

SUMMARY:
People who have lived around or experiences cosmopolitan people (or better word) or just generally experienced many more people world-wide know that what you say is is and isn't a problem even with others experienced!. So to say you are pro-XYZ is ok for me as I KNOW there is more to you and even in the worst case wait for the 100 more things.... but for the person even experienced or full of hate / triggers (naturally and man-made) then there is something there my words I feel I have to take care of too... so it's not too exclusive but also not too open for attack and keeps my integrity with someone else).
A nice kind of Judo or those kinda of sports where you don't want to kill the person but let the best balance, strength, technique prevail.... and both enjoy it at the end!
(If you ever did Judo you know what I mean as something almost co-operative... even though maybe not look like it on TV but there is a lot of respect there for the sport of 'conversation' and mind body and soul of the sport!)
Not saying judo is the best just helps to have tried it for a while :)

Advice welcome on any of these parallels...

Relationships are like puzzle pieces, It's unavoidable to go through feelings so YOU MUST Go THROUGH them if your really into any relationship! (It's hard to hear 'you must', I don't like it but I mean more that left or right all ways go the same, feeling, experience, adjustment, comms, everything!)

Don't bee too defensive - time also passes not too great that!

We just have to try some pieces together, some hit and miss but do continue if you believe in yourself ! (you find more when you're ok with yourself and not fighting or comparing yourself with others)

Some pieces of the puzzle will match some not, but it's the ambience and civility I think while playing together that makes the pieces more possible - no assuming first time you're going to hit it off... and smiling when it's difficult and thinking about it.

According to me, if you find someone exactly like you then also expect some feelings of challenge like putting two magnets of the same polarity... or misunderstanding or fireworks, and then a bit more time you realise wow actually there are quite unique!

It's uncomfortable for some people who can't make a REAL relationship semi-deep so I wrote this as it's just a smile and get along kinda thing and letting everything grow.

It's just like not being too precious also... and living it by allowing others and everyone a bit of real talk :)

So 2 main things of interest here about privacy / phones mostly:

1/ This guy represents his own product and compares a few privacy types things (he's pretty direct about the opposition!)
and answers
-- specific AND general questions about HIS product AND others... mobile or BIG TECH or OTHER smaller phone products
-- PRIVACY-BASED STUFF, XMPP / Jitsi mentioned, VPN, Brax Router

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4ZFqrCD6SBk

( skip intro to 4.30 as just music / time-killing)... then it's riffing 30mins about privacy (it's ok) and then answers from general crowd some useful crowd questions.

2/ Website https://brax.me/
Gives a good run-down at least as ideals for mobile app (but seems it's the real thing!) for privacy-conscious social media
" No Identity. Encrypted. Open Source. "

So basically bout privacy and some answers around sticking to the same privacy principles:

COMMENTS?
Love to hear your comments (it seemed for me refreshing
--someone being so direct about opposition
--being technical and representing himself while defending privacy
--says "but you trust those other guys and not me as I'm right here talking to you and answering at least! (paraphrase)

Community = Communication
(The healthy type of comms ideally - short version)

JUST text and pictures =
Incomplete Community

The idea is to say we can simulate or present what looks like community or do 3/4 of community but essentially talking directly to each other is what I consider most complete and most human. This expresses and goes through all the motions as the more realer equivalent (human voice minimally directly or via voice replies) like in-person or something expressive more than text (not everyone can do text well y'know!)

TEXT AND PICS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR COMMUNITY OR IS INCOMPLETE IN MANY ways...
(IN MY way of MEANING OR AS FOR CHANGE AS A COMMUNITY DOING THE HUMAN WAY ITSELF.... ETC)

Less Long-Form Communication = Less Community

INTRODUCTION - I've cut and re-arranged the above slightly to reflect the point I'd like to make which in summary is:
- law is basically whatever they think words mean to them (such as Anarchism),
- Law is for them to use indiscriminately with people of ignorance, making law itslf a trap for control in own realm
- Law is just to steer people into the same 'it looks fair' but is the same casino (money) or control (suppression) in getting the outcome they want with variable interpretation and avenues they can choose to put more weight on as 'judge' ]

I don't think my selection of the text changes or messes with the source's sentiments too much as they don't seem too unclear but again reading the original first will help to ensure it's not wrong by the source.
I'm reproducing it but basically the last sentence in the paragraph above say the main point if you're not interested from hearing from the prisoner )

[Edits and changes are cuts in sentences, making shorter, making lines between a sentence and indicating any cut with double ellipses ... ... ]

START OF RE-ARRANGED VERSION
----------------------------

" This case is about the “stylized “A”s in a circle on our laptops, ... ....even a red and black bag of earth. It is a matter of thought-crime, in particular, of anarchism. "
... ...
" What does the public prosecutor mean by it? The overthrow of the state system, inciting social hatred, riots, extremist destructive activity.

What do I mean by it? Solidarity and mutual aid, personal and collective freedom and responsibility, rejection of oppression in its many forms.

As an anarchist, for 10 years

I’ve been cooking for the homeless and poor people on the streets of Minsk, which the “welfare state” does not care about ... ...
I have been involved in various educational, social and environmental projects.
I contributed to the preservation of the Kotovka Square in Selkhozposelok.
I am ready to simply help a person in any way I can. "
... ...
" “Pramen” is an anarchist media resource, that is, the media,
and the statement of the state prosecutor that this resource writes only about its participants would mean that if Belarus Today writes about the harvest, then all collective farmers are related to the editorial office of the newspaper. "
... ...
" My anarchism is idealistic, pompous, radical, but creative, not destructive. "

" As a reminder that the law is for everyone, I would like to quote from the protocol of the decision of the tribunal over the Nazi judges.

“The defendants and their colleagues distorted, reversed, and in the end achieved the complete destruction of justice and law in Germany. They made the judiciary an integral part of the dictatorship. They removed any semblance of judicial independence. They threatened those who got into the courts, intimidated them, deprived them of their fundamental rights.

The “trials” they carried out were horrible farces, with rudimentary remnants of legal procedure that were nothing but a mockery of the unfortunate victims!”

" We determine our lives by our own personal and collective choices. "

Metaphor and Reality in the pictures

Metaphor (people who follow are not always alive)
and Reality (following also leads to pictured results as metaphor or pollution of planet)

Teaching people using pictures + practical code (an example website)....

This helps people see and play to get the message, that's why I think it's different.

Changing people's perspective is limited if it's always done in the same way (text / no human contact). Bashing people / having reactions / repeating in the same way has it's limits I hope you agree)

So this is a site where you can read but then play with the tech which changes the pictures to make your own customised picture and even 'story' picture to send to others. (Something more personal that you remixed yourself is nice). Could be for a meme but already it has the best phrases included below:

"my other computer is your...

laptop, tablet, PSP games device, mobile, server, car, cloud, toaster, wireless router, smart TV, fridge, camera, heart monitor, baby monitor, watch... etc etc"
----^ quite a good list / worth saving since I've written it down lol!

Website Blocking example vs. Tiny Notice message...

LEFT SIDE = ULTIMATUM
(RESULT: STOPS BROWSING)

RIGHT SIDE = NOTICE TO USER (RESULT: ALLOWS BROWSING WITH NOTICE)....

With older browsers or forks this blocking is becoming popular encouraging people to upgrade when not really needed at all / can still run the site or just needs warming it's 99% ok just not 100% which many sites are (just pictures and text, or at worst some pics or something missing)

While it does help me browse less sites (I just leave or send them this screenshot) I would prefer just a notice in my browser (the right side) AND NOT A BLOCK PAGE!

Quoted from https://theecologist.org/2021/dec/24/kropotkins-ecology

Also Wikipedia history is interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kropotkin

" Self-sufficiency in food could be achieved, he felt, without recourse to industrial farming (under capitalism), if the cultivator could be free of the three “vultures” (as Kropotkin described then) – the state, the landowner, and the banker. Kropotkin thus opposed both the state collectivization of agriculture and capitalist farming. "

" Mutual aid (or anarchy) was expressed, Kropotkin argued, in worker’s associations, trade unions, family life, religious charities, various clubs and cultural societies, as well as many other forms of voluntary associations. Mutual Aid, Kropotkin stressed, was an important factor in evolution and in human social life. "
