FreeSchool: Learn Respect Love @freeschool@social.cleverlibre.org
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...!

Anyone have ideas how to make similar videos (picture background + track name)...
@lucifargundam
Anyone have ideas how to make similar videos (picture background + track name)
So rather than manually making a video (unless it's easy enough) I'm looking for something I can load the audio tracks and have it put the track names on screen when they change...
So a video but most for the audio
- with static picture background / it's thumbnail
- current track anme auto-added on screen (which is just a static picture and change text of current track)
- maybe active waveform but actually maybe not (probably increases filesize as less-static video)
Something simple... though I might stick to audio only and add thumbnail + text to filename & ID3 lol ...
Would be good if players actually could load an mp3 thumbnail pic and print track names on screen.... hmmm actually they can can't they in local player.... but then how to make video of that?
(that's a 2nd question if doing it that way)
Events organizing system for the Fediverse... Like Polls with consent... towards more contact with similar / like-minded people who voted...
Hi and good work on an Events organizing system for the Fediverse ( like Facebook ).
I was looking at Polls with optional visibility after voting (via optional opt-in ) before coming across your efforts...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108057719432336997 (2nd idea)
...so basically people could continue their affinity and encourage it after voting for things / sharing what they like most... seems it already does the work of attracting people...
... so again I think using polls is clever and even before this I thought it would be good to allow one's vote to be public (or time-expired / self-destruct / perishable) so atl people could connect right away and actually contact each other (maybe as a temporary group and then people could choose who they would like to message / follow etc)
I would like to hear if any privacy issues with this... right now I'm thinking after a successful poll why not? ( if it's with consent and technologically not wild. Not relying on user ignorance either to tick a box but yeah having the default off and then click even twice to say "I don't mind if someone contacts me who was also connected to the poll - this data will be available for 1 day etc" ).
IN SUMMARY - A way of people meeting similar up, through polls or through events (like weekly chats, or personal project polls).
What I suggested to Mastodon was titles:
POLLS WITH OPTIONAL VISIBILITY AFTER VOTING (OPT-IN / OPTIONAL CONTACT METHOD)
Good work even if I'm more of a people person and shoot-tin-can ideas... because making it work toward people actually talking to each other 'for real' is the main thing for me :D
Kudos.
Your text below just for reference:
" It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io
The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars. "

@freeschool promethean fire. Idk. Current tech is spooky as fuck. I see huge potential in what humanity can do with a general concerted effort towards something better. I've been trying to engage with that idea on my main posts.
If you're interested I'd appreciate you reading and engaging in any dialogue that tickles your fancy. I think people could do something so beautiful with a proper bottom-up movement.

#anarchy I've had a vision for social media that focuses on matching individuals based off mutual interest, weighted against their distance. With preference for closer people.
With hope, end result would be fostering local community while also giving people reasons to get off the phone and and into human interaction.
Tech that serves you not profiteers off you.
I'm no developer and wont make it myself. But I'd like to ruminate on the subject, people can join in if it pleases and sparkles

@Bigolbootybuttcake
Thanks and Hey I appreciate the reply - speed reading my stuff is ok by me as it will overlap anyway and purify.
What you said sounds good to me and true. And let's see what is possible in the future...
@Bigolbootybuttcake
I guess I'm coming from a macro view or the whole 'what things we are born into and who it was allowed by' and over time I think this overrules my thinking because well governments from the old mindset and still probably now are self-interested and use everything, lock it all up or make money from it... tech included.
So I perhaps getting nearer to what I mean deep down (needed a bit of circling) I recently also wrote about how "all technology comes from government', but I do get your points and well people who use things probably at some point have to consider how and were all these metals and stuff came from (not all nice, I think I assume / think / hear mostly from geographic-political land-grabbing type stuff and what felt before as colonies that we need to take over the world before the other colony does !!
And many colonies ensuring all the world becomes political in that sense...more than 1 hand can count and probably as bad copies of themselves as similar political empire templates.
For the person now though all that is like,,, oh thanks mum, s 'cool' a wearable advanced computer ^-^
"That would have taken a room itself back in the day!"
Didn't want to take away or confuse the original thing which was about Categorization and that got me closer to thinking how people categorise people (like blacks and whites back in the day) and what is still prevalent now using and basic binary itself (right back to 1's and 0's)... and at the hands of very politically made entities (yes gov and authority itself) So thing like this mentality, binary thinking, development and funding can't capture or don't capture very well the in betweens especially since MAN(Mankind) is the one designing it so kinda proves my point that it must be political in some way right from scratch with some non-political innocent inventors along the way which got steered into xyz war effort... All that has some ethos, purpose etc and then 1 million designers mixed in or thinking they are doing it for humanity.
But at the end 1 head company, 1 head regulator (government) = even more political (like war efforts before)
Computers at hands of all that round things up ignoring a lot and helps ignore the humanitarian situations (unless we really could do and develop humanity first and then preserve it using computers, but the other way around is really hard from machine mindset).
So without haring I think we're coming from 'stupid fucking idiots bottom of the barrel barbarian' / burning witches and other human mentality that I personally still see today and my fear is this is all just a cover and distancing from it at the top to make sure hands looks clean.... not much more clever than that or co-op as a command and conquer game.
Sorry it's a bit long.
Check out my recent post as a kind of positive realisation of perhaps the same games happening (mentality of command and conquer is really obvious from games industry and people still playing online shooting / war stuff finding targets... and even people talking about war and saving their chats in massive Gigabytes of cloud computer storage). Just war/leverage/consumption in many more ways!
Everything that couldn't bring money into the empire is not really used or funded (only if they really have to) so that's the overall onion skin over all the others onion skins... Traditionally not the human stuff ¬:( and that in itself is well chosen / political and consistent.
More of the same (s)crap writing wrote just a few hours ago and I think that can also see what I was going / coming from.

Plant some seeds as weather is getting better!
AND Food prices in some parts of the globe might help you realise *now is the time* to get dig a bit before the sun goes all the way down!... Get people involved or just start preparing and then get help / just do it as you like...
Peas, Tomatoes, Pumpkin, Paprika... just need some seeds - optionally some existing gardeners if any around....
Let me know if you're a grower and don't mind some questions!
I wanted to appreciate your kind comments more and bask a bit in the sunlight of it... but there is a bit of time press while still enjoying of course! :L)
Imagining it is quite the most of it... Then others too can help tweak it out, usually already aligned but different words, but in the end really love and that page of values will be the toolkit help makes things work :L)
Basic needs... might come from
- those who have already
and quite comfortable, enjoy sharing / see benefits and new horizons with people work
- inherited land/forest etc... for food / keeping busy with nature
- and of course getting past money mentality (effectively acting like it's pure, holds value, is not just 1 big evolving misconception and ultimatum)....
That banks are not doing ok or any good. That will help us get back on to the right side by minimising the bank side / lessens bad stuff / avoids fake %'s on top of everything. Accepts we were wrong to base life on them.
Once people realise we just blew a few trillion a few times to 'bail' banks out from their own game, then we will stop paying for their fakery... and perhaps then pay people more respect more than money which buying things does.
Virtuous indeed but living it somewhat, and even getting closer to drawn lines...
Tech's big strength and weakness is that it was built to last... maybe too long...
Looking at a piece of solid honed metal I realised that this thing, much like Technology, is perhaps build to last too long...
From all the processes which we now see as a danger... maybe this is true...
From all the companies extending out from Governments / Empires... all doing their thing and paying themselves (and us if we do as we're told)
From just finding out including seeing mass resource destruction and #climatechange
From factories like a Toxic type of mass farming / conversion...
...somewhat the whole organisation of metals and long lasting Tech could be all a bit of a counterfeit / bad exchange (IF in the end nature is what we want to perpetuate...
...though I can see us limiting tech or even stopping production and using what we have left... but the makers won't listen, they organised Tech and the bank funding in the first place for other reasons - mostly war / more money...
hard because I don't want to make it political but...
science and tech can't be separated from politics / mentalities of those generations of war-mongers overlapping into the now...
so while I don't claim anti-tech right now or any big thing- that realisation (like much which has been falsely built on or much made with money / force / fakery / crusades etc... all means this does have to be a serious thought.. and perhaps another financed branch of xyz empire)...
Starting the post I was feeling in awe how ' Technology lasts almost too long ' and then moved into how politics or environments don't let us go... from screens to surveillance to endless scroll....
That kinda mixed feeling... hmmm
We humans are also weak and need the toy to break to put the phone down / go back to before... or make it ourselves continuously in order not to make buying so easy or thoughtless (which contributes to recent comment that people don't even know free software... and why should they... people just buy and play... so that is also a weak point... ask people to make it themselves and they would really think about it and in the end not want to dig for metals or whatever...
Do you think it works to have an account and use commercial things like Facebook in order to get your Free Software / Freedom movement going in a way you would like to spread it?
@barefootstache @lucifargundam @UniversalVortices@mastodon.social
Good Points! I'll add them to my lists! lol...
"I never knew of open source" rofl
(which I guess is our lifelong 'job')
and "I just want things to work" (which is probably true for us maybe in non-tech fields IF everyone has a blind-spot but maybe Techie have less blind spots / more awareness and ignorances )
@canwolf
Indeed - just did some quotes recently...
- mentioning endlessly doing things,
- keeping on their domain / hard to exit [company take overs, new boss, restructuring, GitHub maybe next]
In summary we are also learning what we get into and natures of business that can be fragile anytime... We didn't know what else to do with our time...
And slowly we are learning / being more reserved in putting anywhere our data! It's all risk! :)
P.S I sent you some DM's before, no reply have a check (lol I mean scroll back a few months!!!)<--- But seriously I've asked #Mastodon to add email-like sorting of messages (by data etc) since also people are using it as quick-private communication! I'm sure my #suggestion will get there... I can find it if you like... at least the search get through some of the nested data / messages...

MY COMMENT
🤔 This is exactly the locked-in kinda of DILEMMA starting from at the beginning of joining or at the end in exiting (you or company)
Sub-points of DILEMMA
- Joining dilemma, because your friend is on there and you're not (but probably you want something more from that system also like more friends/sharing/new feature)
- Exiting dilemma,
The company gets take over / bought / closed [GitHub being sold for example or rebranded] and it puts people in jeopardy.
People are expecting more and more to move which is good but still I feel a bit of a surprise is in store... (like where is your data beign stored now do you know? And is Microsoft still a great badge?)
So not hating but while having 'your' material stored away on some servers with 99% uptime, it just takes that business side for it *to go at anytime- down*...
It's fragile basically... or maybe I'm beign alarmist....
Like IF GitHub was for sale...
right....
NOW...
and you didn't know...
... and just found out from a message like this...
... ... ... and they already agreed an offer from Meta / Facebook when you came back from work....
What next?
And where's your code / operations going to go tomorrow?! ! !
" I will still have to use GitHub as I haven't migrated all of my projects away yet, and because many other projects still use and require you to use GitHub for collaboration. I hope that this will improve in the future. "
Why You Should Probably Move Away From GitHub to Codeberg
" I'm moving my open-sourced code from GitHub to Codeberg. But why would anyone do that? "

@tomxcd@fedi.nullob.si
Do you think it works to have an account and use commercial things like Facebook in order to get your Free Software / Freedom movement going ?
SUMMARY
YES - You think it works overall as 'better' to use BigTech to get the word out about causes.
We can use them more than they use us individually or as a group
NO - You think it's probably "selling out" or more bad work done than any good and USA resources are far superior - they wouldn't let any roots grow from their platforms. In fact it could also be measurably just an easy detection system / alarm ringer / honeypot so you are baited and they just develop worse or just block the way far up ahead in the road what they see trending and when 1000 people repeat the same "we'll do this")
MAYBE - You think maybe we can cheat superior / fast technology or get best out of them somehow (maybe use the algorithms) or use a low tech mixture (for example, just making 1 post via TOR and never touching the account again, cleanest in and out but considering your previous IP history / existing accounts will probably be associated although it's not always 100%)
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...
