I've been making pens! Here are three I turned on my mini lathe recently, the woods are (from left to right)

Bolivian Rosewood
Cocobolo
Macassar Ebony
(Buckeye burl in the works, it's gorgeous)

Each one is made with different embellishments, slightly different widths and grips, and an increasingly refined process as I make more!

The refills are by Cross, and if I can find kits for fountain pens, I'll definitely want to try my hand at making those too! These are really hefty and dense and have great balance to them, so I'm pretty happy with how they all turned out!

I think some of the people work and in-between stuff is exactly what people need while hosting

And then try and align as much stuff with all the other things that grow from that... slowly level up / people 'accidentality' find their own affinity.
Give people a menu for setting up something and also making it portable / easy to exit if they wish to go elsewhere and without much discomfort.

Having someone hold hand and even being allowed to ask stupid questions really goes a lot quicker sometimes in improving things or getting ideas open, more than people just not doing things or doing it badly. Just asking and get on with it!

So if you're comfortable then I think you can really process and complete people's life...

I think I would look at some of your options and even act as a more of a beginner if you like, as a kind of test conversation theoretically or practically also in testing. For example if I wanted to move an existing blog or yeah consider how I'm doing stuff... maybe move operating systems totally and get regular step by steps by installing onto another machine / usb key or LiveCD or something...

Virtue Signalling... this is a signal that I'm collecting subsets and context of this meaning.
Virtue Signalling over... :)

But seriously what does it mean... ?
Some attempt below.. please add yours

- showing what a virtuous person you are, instead of actually trying to fix the problem. (aesthetics?)

- the easy showing of something being good or bad but *not* actually incorporating it into one's life (hypocrisy?)
...couldn't care less about other people or never aimed to do much. Maybe doesn't know how until others do something (person needs to follow)

- showing you care about something you might not normally care about or didn't care about until something else happened (self-interest / convenience).

- group-think / social mirroring / echo chambers
(although these terms are probably in themselves a bigger term the social grouping of people talking about the same thing almost as useless as the weather)

MORE WELCOME.

@bonifartius
SUPER. And gave wrong link before - this should work:
redirect.invidious.io/search?q
and click any server which filters out google youtube tracking and ads

@bonifartius
Unless major changes since a few years some things for list are

Good sunlight area !

Fairly solid / heavy mount even if mobile (for hand turning for example or catching peak sunshine). Thinking about wind, rain, gales etc...

Regulator (box in between battery and panel) important

Battery checking / knowing about them a bit

Having a friend you can call or one website with 1000 comments

Even YouTube VIA Invidious to get common questions
invidious.snopyta.org/search?q

All ways will probably exhaust you so cup of tea also included on the list!

perhaps this order
- look at some videos visually
- audio chat with friend
- make notes, draw your own setup/conclusion then
- loop this list

It's good you did a call out or have someone who has done it a few times as different hardware matters

This is purely from non-deep perspective / a tin can talking

Hidden Politeness damage.... Not sayign the obvious... telling people but then not untellign them... 

"Hidden Politeness damage" - when people say something but more infer something - so eventually there are not clear and can wait too long / not deal the dirty / spit it out

This works (to not be so direct) but also doesn't work - so I prefer clarity because then you can see if the exact point the person is pointing is wrong - but is the moer battling style which prefer not to do in staying on the 'ambiguous' forever style AND EVEN WORSE DISLIKING YOU FOR IT!
If people accept the logic "that's the way he does it", and "it needs a bit of time after I say it clearly" and accept people heard it, then that's great.

The other way is inferring and winking about it all day long and the other person not understanding it or doing something else thinking it's obvious saying YES I understand and then it's not the same understanding at all (usually when then people find out you did something 'wrong' and you say "oh that's what you meant' or why didn't you tell me when you saw it ---- > because you're a chicken / don't want to practise harmonising?)

Come on people, get a bit battle test then have some lemonade together....

Another example- If you tell someone to do something with the plants, like water them every 2 days, then do tell them again when to change even if it's obvious.
Summary: What you switch on or tell people sometimes you also have to remember to switch off / tell them it's fine / enough.

People are shit then they blame others for forgetting or only being there some of the time to check things themself.

Moan over... BUT practical points
Maybe only when you come across it, you will realise "ah I should have told them or checked with them!"

Picture Caption?
(I am not suggesting either in this post, just the contrast is visual interesting or concept of two things together)

ACCOUNT STATUS / FRIENDLY LEVEL INDICATOR

From my experience with people being online but not interested in talking...

Add a signal or a bar or flag or something that shows people who are 100% definitely not interested in talking...

Here is a list for inspiration for:
- emoji icon
- or flag
- or something like a volume level visual for how hot an account is to talk and ACTUAL DO SOCIAL!...

otherwise text or drop down category / profile options like this:

-This account is mostly output only

-This account is mostly announce although we say a lot like Aral Balkan... but I/we don't reply to your advances AT ALL

- I don't care for debate at all

- -This account is for show, authors are not really interested / have put aside time to maintain account

- This account is not really interactive despite is being able to be

(of course I assume there are many other things possible and reasons)

But generally speaking if you're account is not really interested or dedicated to chatting online,...
LET PEOPLE KNOW FROM START!!

The above helps my hopes and knowing for future BEFORE I WRITE ANYTHING. Thanks

Feel free to ask for any pics or request your own logo / edit / banner etc... 

Sorry for lack of pics or media recently.. some are in progress...
waiting in the wings... etc
But also been working on the human / audio side...

I am liking text just right now as I realise 'Life' itself in equations and dissect it / unlock it a bit like jail-breaking an iphone.

Oh wow ok now I have to look around for 'jail-break' pics! That's self-inspiration right there!

More about that term here:

And my existing media here:

To not accept doing nothing is a skill... 

To do something long-term can be incremental and part of short-term (all one things)

But if you can't understand your chain, don't understand it all, can't calculate like that 'long-term' way then think of it as lots of fast isolated short-term efforts and fun list towards something overall good.

@jmw150
Seems GNU / FSF are pushing to really get everyone helping out and could be one for the list (which they actually seem like they are getting through)
So that's also just a suggestion without feeling need for a quest... just email them or even Richard Stallman as he's not as shy perhaps or unreachable...

(I was impressed by the help page at least have a more creative list than the usual kind or programmer-or-nothing kind of asking for help)
And his audio I linked in previous post just now seems to be inclusive and persistent regardless of level, to at least find a way.
To almost not accept doing nothing (that is my paraphrasing and perhaps my new quote!)

Richard Stallman audio recording - a conversation recently... which is nice and methodological with positives and problems...

audio-video.gnu.org/audio/2022

Interestingly (and by chance) mentions finding a way to speak to each other more or specifically make a speech or topic and then allow critique of each other as a training process for speaking itself (round 1hr in audio rms mentions it).

So as I was already following this way and talking to the people I respect and getting feedback, I suggest to you dear reader to check a few audio examples of content and people worth listening to or check the topic headers only just as a 1min look:

freeschool.0id.org/?s=audio

My Follow Requests reply (template-ish)...... 

These kind of things I ask new followers, mostly for quality control and continuing relativity)

------------------------

Hi I got your follow request and always ask "why me?" :)

Also it's see if we can continue talking or adding to something you saw just now or wanting to see, so I guess is saying more is optional but as I see it this helps continue relativity and add to we don't forget later by doing now while we're still interested! :)

Other things you're welcome to add / feel casual about saying:

- how it's going for in general or specifically:

- what you're looking for
- what you need help with
- what you think is the way (for you or others)
- what you don't want more of
- what is not the way

Thanks

List of People / Groups without Mastodon / Fediverse accounts (who would you like to see contactable on Mastodon / Fediverse?)... 

I'm collecting a list of people YOU AND I would like to see contactable on Fediverse!!

If I happen to like them a lot, then I will contact them myself!

------------------
MY LIST SO FAR

Debian? --> Official?
GNU? ----> or is that under FSF?

MY STRATEGY
I will submit (a contact form) and subject them to intense pressures (of logic) until they give up... and then you'll be surprise why they chose to make an account (If it makes sense of course)!

ADD BELOW MORE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCOUNT BUT YOU THINK IT'S USEFUL AND THEY SHOULD.

BOOST TO GET BIGGER LIST.

----------------------------

@jmw150
Of course.
What others things can you think of that this is not showing in general or specifically?

Misconceptions of Respect... Respect differs from person to person... but having respect is the main thing... 

Respect differs from person to person. This is the basis for this piece of sentiment that it's different but can be the same (it's still respect, the differing is less important as long as people respect what they do more often).

The fact that people have respect should be the main thing which can unite us. Not only looking at the bad whic serves pessimism to fuel itself (that's why many bad things are kept as it fuels more bad things / is circular)

NOT having someone match your respect 100% doesn't mean they are disrespecting. There is another peg or slot people fit into which is live an animal that is different to another...
One animal, though no fault of it's own. cannot or doesn't value so much in some another animals realm or domain or naturally from it's ability.
This analogy of human being like different animals (or having different preferences and skills) means each person may look like a human but act according to their own animals philosophy, experiences, exposure, natural ability, ability to learn etc...
People naturally have preference for some types of fields more than others who have a different field. And not everyone can learn all the fields... so while we level each other up I think we can focus on our super-power or main skill without ignoring the practise of other 'stuff'. This need a kind of person a bit more dedicated / a coach / advisor etc... without going to far into either...

Just know when you not respecting this or that field and top up involvement.

The 'mismatch' for respect I feel is natural *should* be expected accordingly.

NOT expecting to have 100% is a kind of perfectionism or even discrimination, mild fascism if it's not accepting a person of their own sovereign being or animal trait.

Much like people hate someone but after a few drinks can get to like them, after they might say "Ah yeah he's still a dickhead but he's fairly harmless or like ABC at least"

To hate people being different is different to loving that people probably like more than what you see or has onion skins naturally not visible. So not to feel too offended, to try and accept and even not push too hard to explore.

Let the animal come out, you can't force it out always, then share or encourage it with a cup of tea and show parts of yourself and what you're about if you can balance if they are going to gossip or not.

If people have a different set of respect for things it is good respect in itself is the overall residue I value.

Respect can also bee seen as as like a equaliser visual for volume levels for each thing

Another analogy could be bar a level of respect someone has for each category or unique situation, which needs learning (it's not clear by text or computers).
