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!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!

If you're posting a public post on the Fediverse, it will be visible to anyone, even people who aren't on the Fediverse. Every account has a public profile page, which lists all the public posts made by that account.
If you want to keep your Fedi posts off search engines, the best way to do this is to use a non-public visibility setting such as followers-only or mentioned/direct. Search engines cannot see posts with such visibility settings.
On Mastodon, you can also go to Preferences > Other > Opt Out Of Search Engine Indexing, tick the box then click Save Changes. In theory this setting also stops your public posts from ending up in search engines, but in reality it's up to search engines whether they respect your request.
PixelFed has a similar option in Settings > Privacy.
GARDEN / food.... a thought
Just when you think there isn't another hazelnut on the ground and go to walk away:
- you step on one
- another one falls somewhere and you consider collecting yet another one in an infinite loop!
Somehow I think you might not know what I mean - even if you never collect hazelnuts...... !!!!

RETRO COMPUTING GROUP
Hello to the RetroComputing group: @retrocomputing@a.gup.pe
I believe this is the current group which natively you can search in Mastodon by searching for:
@ retrocomputing
(without the space otherwise you get the web page / hyperlink)
You can read the old posts since the change over to new in before ~April 2022 - so old posts are here:
@retrocomputing@gup.pe
(or search @ retrocomputing without the space to see in Mastodon natively)
So if you're reading this in either group I'd like to say hi and add my own interest / experience via this pictur.
I made in an Atari homage and nostalgia anim and welcome anyone to "ping pong" about it :)

Sometimes the internet is really funny - or scary.
The Chrome browser is one example.
While you believe you are browsing the web, Google is browsing you instead.

PERSON RECOMMENDED: ALAN WATTS
A story from https://alanwatts.org/
mailing list: news@alanwatts.org
(Extra info at the end)
A Summer Story of Alan
Written by Mark Watts (son)
In the summer of 1973 I was staying on my father’s ferryboat the Vallejo in Sausalito, and he was living at Druid Heights up on Mount Tamalpais high above San Francisco Bay. Each weekday he would either come down to the boat to get the mail, or I would drive it up the hill to the redwood water-tank library that had been converted into a comfortable place for him to work and write.
One day he thought he’d come down the hill but he still hadn’t shown up by 11, and so I gave a call to see if I should bring the mail up. He said: “Oh yes, please— I became caught up in painting out on the deck, you must see!” Very curious now, I headed up the hill.
When I arrived he was sitting outside on the deck surrounded by long strips of rice paper weighted down with round stones, painting kanji characters with a coarse brush and black ink. With smooth strokes characters would appear, but the brush was also picking up the wood grain from the deck below, mapping its textures in what he described in his book on the Tao as li, or organic pattern.
He offered me the brush and I tried a few strokes, and then he did some more, and I’d never seen him happier or more engaged in the moment. After a while we hung the gorgeous strips with *those* textured characters
from the shelves in the library to fully dry, and he made us good green tea.
A few weeks later my father left on what would be his final lecture tour, and as he passed through more than twenty airports over the next two months I could see that day stayed with him reflected in the recurrent Taoist themes of li and tzu jan - organic pattern and nature: of itself so- heard by his audiences along the way.

QUOTE ABOUT WRITERS:
"Right now I think we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art"
- Ursula K. Le Guin
"The name of our beautiful reward is not profit, it's name is freedom"
- Ursula K. Le Guin

She goes on in the middle to say she see's us accepting the hard conditions set by others, even though we do most of the work writing it and let us gett told what to sell and what to write.
BOOK AS A COMMODITY?
Books also cross the boundaries into just being a commodity also. People who don't read but have a library might have some element of that having things 'on show' but not really believing it.
@doliu666 Nice food for thought.
My own approach is:
- cutting down
- and doing more of the same values in the same or other things. (repetition or increment similar other things)
@plants
Hi all- just a hello and to point you to my existing plant posts just for interest as I already made them with pictures so links below:
- Hazel Nuts - was un-shelling them (or better term de-shelling / uncovering?!)
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/109031196369251116
- Apple puree / blending apples
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/109020083378667311
-Apples in bottles (End result in fridge)

Happy to have voice chats with people circling these ideas - I think I can add in the way of organising constructive chats, perhaps moderated, with an agenda to see what the perspectives or problems are or simply explore what we're not sure about just for clarity and then towards enjoying solving them,
Anyone welcome. Might be hard at first to label what we are thinking but together can help each other get there.
@feditips
Interesting, tell me more! / anything else?
MASTODON TRANSLATION API
I think you pay for API.
Not sure if I mentioned it about being free or no, more that the DATA passed through googles would be really BAD...
Here's some more info and quotes under
https://mastodon.social/@mastohost/109054742298134183
quoted below:
"...server admins need to get an API key with DeepL or LibreTranslate to enable it and those have limitations/costs. See: https://www.deepl.com/pro?cta=header-prices and https://portal.libretranslate.com/)
and @rajuct said:
Will the Apertium engine be available too in the future? Not all languages are on DeepL or LibreTranslate
Eugen said :
That software doesn’t seem to have an API, which means it’s not possible to integrate it.
@lolicon yeah sure, just I don't know much better and looking for reasons 0 could be wrong on the loading too... also how to measure that properly / consistently is a good question - any ideas for that?
@mischk@mastodon.technology
Would have been good to put some of the https://yewtu.be/ video links here
