I was very scared when I first saw this... but now it's become 'normal' to me and not strange
:D
@Acer @praveenkumar about YouTube
--> I would also start to use youtube less ---> this isn't the whole solution but also to think how we couldn't always use it
- for example I have access but some days I use it 0 times or pretend I can't. Also because it's Google
- I use it like I'm *spending* money or processor power
- I also imagine Invidious isn't the answer either in the gradual de-spending of energy
try 'weaker' less maniac entities like framasoft's PeerTube
https://sepiasearch.org/
(which I also think is still energy intensive but not the crazy all-you-can-eat type)
- Let me know your usage privately and I can think about it more but streaming things is unrealistic luxury (like having more light by burning a candle at both ends for a shorter time)
@Acer @praveenkumar
If you're talking about the last link, then just try shortening the link
Being protective can be close to being predatory...
It can be just a matter of opinion or also deliberate trojan horse since people often don't want to disclose their poitics...
So a predator (knowingly or not) can use 'protective' reasoning as a cover... it's natural but oten very exploited
Other examples:
Health & Safety - Because of 'this' [bullshit reason] we have to do that [aggressive move/taking your rights under cover]
Jealousy/Other - I don't want you going there because it's not safe (=don't want you playing with them / I'm jealous of that family)
You have to do xyz (so I can keep an eye on you)
Hmmm very subtle hidden stuff
@nephitejnf
Hiya, just notice on your profile page "Yewtube" and by chance there is a Yewtube !!
Yewtu.be takes out the YouTube. Adverts and Tracking!!
So your bio link could be
https://yewtu.be/user/nephitejnf
or if you don't like that url use of the filter services found here:
https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCzLjjRlkOosxt0eQamPyhlA
So check that out and you can basically link people better using this filter proxy (which loads things faster too) it's called Invidious and saving you and people the privacy... !
+1 yewtu.be / Invidious
+1 Bitchute
+1 for using XMPP
+1 for using Peertube (or NephTube ;>)
For general ungoogly browsing:
I'm ECO-friendly but WTF check this service provider !!
Datacenter in Linthal, Switzerland
They use an old building, second-hand servers, passive cooling and are directly plugged into an on-site hydroelectric power plant!
https://ungleich.ch/ !!!!!!!!!!
☑️ Old building (reuse)
☑️ 2nd-hand (reuse, reviving old tech +10)
☑️ Passive cooling (energy under-use)
☑️ ☑️ Hydroelectric power plant if it really works for them since it was already there and probably the right setup
= x10/x100/x1000 power combination
@nephitejnf
I like that the video isn't over 360p to keep video size and streaming sane for what is talking mostly... +1
@devinprater I don't know about Matrix. I prefer #XMPP because I think standardization is more important than trendy protocols, especially for something like chat which has been 'solved' for many years yet we still see a lot of fragmentation. Instead of building (and thus improving) on the existing internet standard, #Matrix decided to invent yet another messaging format, E2EE protocol, A/V call signalling, ... all incompatible with XMPP.
@kreyren Oh yeah, I agree things like #MATRIX / #XMPP / #IRC for the way!
Happy to hear better links than below...
-MATRIX SIGNUP?

-IRC

GNU logo mystery... tongue in cheek poke at GNU's logo - totally unobvious crazy unclear no?..
@kreyren Looks like GNU are getting up to speed and trying more... judging by a video (see previous post with according #GNU hashtags) and also enjoyed the speed of response I got after sending suggestions very recently...
BUT have to admit on the other side almost as a 'FIRST LOOK' that I was going to make a page / post about the GNU logo and how crazy it seems or would be to a new person... (I probably haven't got why totally or origins and expect things to hint what it is JUST A LITTLE BIT) ...
SO GNU's logo... doesn't it say 'steak house' more than anything else to a new person - that gets me fired up!... a logo you can't at all get first time in the right realm of visual or even approximately without any text (and then GNU next to it wouldn't help anyway)
So that's me sticking my neck out
while loving the rest! <3
lol
oh looks like I'm on a roll...
Wikipage doesn't say much about why this logo other than who made it... wonder if there are on the Fediverse..... and could mention why a goat / ram / cow / mountain mammal / smiling bull / billy goat .... is for the logo
oh joy come eat at our steak house
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU
And while I'm bitching
BIGBLUEBUTTON as a name...
<---- WHAT THE FUCK DOES BIGBLUEBUTTON DO ?
Summary - Name your shit A BIT functionally - I hope I eat my words and go to look up why things called themselves unobvious things or logos or software with AN ANIMAL HEAD... !!
<3 frees software by the way and all the hashtags
" There's an invisible enemy and he's counting on the fact that your forget that he's there "
An out of context edit.
I mean it to mean that other men have plotted against you, the original video pins it on the devil which could be the same thing but I'm presenting clear conscious people who know you forget or ignore when spending money that it is hindering you like breaking your legs as you try and jump higher. Unsatisfied and deliberate people which could be considered devil-like since they are so intent and don't want to see others succeed without profiting them first.
Emails are still a BIG weak point - we still need to solve that... Suggestions?...
I guess the reader will know why having BigTech email is bad (for everyone, even your family)
So it's this basic thing that feels like it's the worst or even biggest solvable
Thoughts and suggestions how to solve for average person?
(Take their phone for 30mins and give them a new email?) ...where to go for email?
@lucifargundam
Mainly
- going for cool projects (which I guess you are and not only agency just for fun)
- Making a webpage and sending people you're interested the link! Almost cold but saying 'This is efficiently linking you to a page about my job search, talents, hobbies etc... so it's sincere but for speed I just send you the link for now and happy to chat later if you're interested"
The touché part is in reference to how agencies advertise 1 think and get a shit load of attention... and instead you make 1 page and send many people a link !
1 agency advertising to many
Many links sent to 1 web page
lol

@lucifargundam
yeah although maybe a long-shot, go for those cool project and people too ! It's maybe a bit of virtue signalling but I would / have written to many just as a matter of trying...
P.S
Do you think it would be too offending if someone (similar to your position) just put 1 web page and simply wrote your perspective and just sent people the link?! Sort of save you the hassle, while saying you're sincere but will wait for a reply before investing huge amount of time in something customised! (I'm sure some knock-backs people on the other side didn't even read if they didn't need anyone already so a link is kinda touché to that!)
:D
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!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
