@PawelK Maybe not dead and gone in some ways, but yes can be sad in the composting of people to think there are not physically there or even transcended partially somewhat somewhere else (if not just left a few nice books on their way)
Though I don't claim to know what transcending means other than *maybe* transferred somehow... and my point in reply was really about how it's only sad when we learn about someone dying...
and even sadder when it's through the NY Times or mainstream... (ok ok sorry)
So apart from hating mainstream news what I really mean is...
It's more sad for me if it's really sad for you (i.e. if you really were a follower of children's books or tried to contact the author before or did something in the realm of all this... >_<
if not it's a touch less sad (still sad but like watching news but not really caring or making attempts before just a kind of empty nostalgia and feeling of loss for something you honestly had very little attention for but now you remember that one (or two) books but not much else, which still has a bit of condolence I guess )
Seems harsh but I'm hoping you have a children's book in mind or a story to share...
** more than sad news link... **
and just to practise a bit of dark humour ---> a few more popped off during this message. Probably nice people ~I dunno~.
Currently Masai being chased off lands (which I do think about but not to make it a comparison - it's still what it is for you and the children's books)
R.I.PEACE
@Theraviranjankr Mastodon Mail = Messages in Email style format and sortable columns...
It's not yet a feature but could be.
I am urging people to make an add-on or update to DM's to add an email style front end so the message format can get people using LIKE email for safer Fediverse communication (Direct Messages which already exist).
'Email' would be excellent move as there are lots of Fediverse type email servers already and just need some columns / sorting labels (just to start that would be OK and almost do it!)
My previous post relative to Mastodon Mail ideas are below
including graphics for it.
Mastodon E-Mail Add-on / Upgrade Message Layout...?
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108521437249228849
email is a big weak point, let's solve it using 'Mastodon Mail' as expansion opf direct mails to look like mail between fedivers people ? Emulation mail a bit? ?
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108443252523019542
Even just to see all Direct Messages filtered from 1 user would be great.

@Theraviranjankr @marathon0
Things can be one and the same, at the same time... or seen in the similar or differential lights depending on the observer or what they aim is.
In this case a Leader is a follower at the same time... though could be varying amounts which is what simplistic or scientific ways don't grab as easily in 1's and 0's (i.e. Leader could be 0.8 some thign and 0.125 something and 0.2 something else etc etc then also vary that according to mood or scenario).
My question to you is why post about following the advice to be a leader or follower making you xyz... ?
I love ❤️ maths. But why?
Study mathematics to understand physics
Study physics to understand chemistry
Study chemistry to understand the biology
Study biology to understand the psychology
Study psychology to understand economics
Study economics and philosophy to be free.

@libreleah Laptop Problem / for repair:
After a hot day and switching off sooner and sooner, it didn't boot (same model as this T440p). Any ideas? I think I gave it too much to do so when I power on now it only lights up the LAN light on the right which gives me a bit of hope the motherboard is not dead.
Ideal welcome
I recently upgraded my own workstation to a ThinkPad T440p with osboot. I sell it pre-flashed on my store at https://minifree.org/ but used an X200T myself.
The T440p keyboard has grown on me. The keys feel heavy and robust, nice tactile feel. I love this new machine!

@ldubost
In a way "The American Dream" *is itself* the capture of people and making money itself from them!
So people going for "The American Dream" are going for the exploitation quite like going to a casino and thinking you can beat probability and odds set out in a Matrix that is constantly unbeatable or even sustainable because of the risk deliberately against you. (Hardly co-op of dream more than profit wars where gov (like the house) get the tax / profits / winnings from everyone paying / losing )
And so I too like this picture of text - simply is not fair in a mechanical matrix and limited jobs aimed at getting mechanised more than human populating / keeping human meanings in jobs,
And as 72c says poor kids can also think there is no way but do the same by setting up a mini game of the larger game (like a pyramid) but in my reality we have to zoom out while we do any of this and Neo out of thinking in the matrix only and realise ok it's about people, people, people, people,.... not machines so much - people have the feelings and core, people can learn and hold the spirit of things much more as the better double-check, and in a strange way we have to make our own games (like the pyramids) but to give each other chance to give, chance to take from us to spin things (like money does but with good-will or morality in the middle so we can give / take without man-in-middle attacks as the default during transactions... do it almost manually, talk about all again... and simply make our own game (matrix of love or do it yourself or principles + philanthropy + other things on top + living more together instead of renting apart... whatever you can... everything if possible...). Cut them out of their own business and don't give consent while sharing and accepting people in as best as possible / real life testing...
There are lots of comfortable people who could allow 1 like-minded person in and grow them like a plant as well as have some hands on deck as pure labour... mix the old and new (gaps are too far apart now and we don't understand what it's like).
We have to imagine more than what we see basically... Happy to talk about it in audio chat right now or in future... it's interesting...
@freemo sent you DM just now with info
More Communication = More Understanding

@derwinmcgeary Similar to deliberate design faults... I found a catchier title,..

@josemanuel
Alright I'm the exception without being contrary to get me name in lights here... soooo... hit me with something wild... or have a look aesthetically at my profile and let me know.... thanks!
@sim
Just a reminder it's one continuously evolving thing...
though I liked the reflection too...
sometimes it's like great to have it said even put in stone to remind ourselves of phases or milestones...
anyway we also have to expect things to go this way or the other and realise why not this and why not that and actually how to keep it all in check while having fun in being serious so it doesn't lose momentum or over-run simply because we're using it for many things and connecting many reasons/ principles.
Once we get the method right everything is easy even in mass.
Mastodon Features WANTED! (pinned post)....
Separated by a line for each feature and icon!
---------------------------------
🔎 Search posts on each person's profile page (search box on user profile)
⁉️ " Mastodon 3.5.0+ has feature, if you have full text search on your server, you can search
"from:username@anyserver.whatever foobar"
And it will filter search results for just posts made by username@anyserver.whatever"
by Darius Kazemi @darius
https://friend.camp/@darius/108273274838277436
Not sure if true or matches what I wanted ---> which was a search box for each user profile to search their posts (not mine giving mixed posts results of my own favourites, DMs etc) because I like to search other people's stuff and really appreciate / find that way what's relative to my search with them.
(tips welcome this one considered not really solved)
--------------------------
☑️ Features SOLVED
WANTED: To go to the user's local server's timeline of posts from any post they make.
✉️ SOLVED... click the three dots ...
"open xyzserver timeline"
But it's hit and miss (still working it out). Seems to be shown for users from other servers ONLY IF ENABLED... or
bonifartius <--- Thanks
(before this I was looking at all servers having a public page by adding web/timelines/public/domain/xyzservername
and it shows up with or without posts (if enabled it shows posts, if it's not enabled it shows just blank - so far with testing)
Page loads either way it's not conditional to having posts enabled for link to work.
SOLVED seems to work if we're logged in and click
for noagendasocial.com
https://qoto.org/web/timelines/public/domain/noagendasocial.com
for mstdn.social
https://qoto.org/web/timelines/public/domain/mstdn.social
for botsin.space
https://qoto.org/web/timelines/public/domain/botsin.space
So a link would allow user to check with 1 or 2 clicks click from any user's posts which I think doesn't show in the 3 dots menu ... until the server supports it / let's you see timeline ... (makes different as cold url or from logging in dashboard)
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...!
