@ParadeGrotesque @neil LAW AND ORDER / JUSTICE

Perhaps there's two sides to law and bullies...

There's the technical-law side of things (what's on paper to be law or rules)... and

then there is the 'it's whatever we say goes' kind of things in law what suits the bully or establishment (actually I consider USA both).

Literally the definitions where law / language itself has books and dictionaries for word running into hundreds it means the meanings are many meanings and so the contexts which they then can plot the court case upon... using those that conspire or simply those wanting to keep their job by pledging oath / allegiances to authority to just pick whichever meaning from that according to what line suits them (and their job)... lots of unsaid / undocumented stuff like nurses or medical stuff never officially told not to do or do but just follow or shunned if they don't do and somehow lose their job / get focused on negatively

Anyway this 2nd point is to show directly or indirectly a line of people in and out of law can somewhat choose what has more weight or validity as they go along to produce a certain outcome...

and coming back to topic point... this means they can get him on something as long as they focus on him negatively and drag it out in time to crack these types of nuts or thorns in their side. Pinning something or any excuses whatever they want to cover up / already ignoring helps... kinda proven by the whole 'illegal things go on but telling people is illegal'.

I think there are also people that run in between (advisers) that tweak this approach like a flow chart type thing... this + this + this = these decisions but of course I can't prove it other than common in humanity and very logical if you're serious about keeping your own authority / power while paying people in law or outside of it.

Lol I'm starting to learn a lot about your tastes and reasonings but this goes well from me right from the start until 1min and yes it's more lyrics than music so not quite the fantasy korean / japanese / asian foot-tapping kareoke music :) lol what to call it!
hehe funky

"CrackIntros" show the undergrounds group of talented people for their programming / code, art and music skills of the time inside their intros / credits.

A crack intro, also known as a cracktro, a loader, or just plain "intro" - is a small introduction sequence added to cracked software. It aims to inform the user which "cracking crew" or individual cracker removed the software's copy protection and distributed the release.

Awesome - it sound like it's done by Abba almost! With some almost slap-bass-type-stuff at 1.20 !
Isn't quite retro as in game but was appreciated and I'm gonna play it again to get most out of it :)

@confusedbunny
Guess that's on the newer Mastodon version... So what is the idea with your videos... to save only favourites / boosted - I guess the others are eventually is deleted (?)

ALGORITHMS are WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY IN LIFE?

" The algorithm and the criteria for the algorithm were secret. "
--------^ we can't live with this happening - it gives them power and their own type of justice (whoever changes algorithm changes the justice)

_________________________
EXTENDED / SUB-TOPIC (OPTIONAL)

In Amazon but not only, the whole non-transparent stuff needs to change for corporations.

It's a major lock-out / choke-point and increasing humanitarian issue as ALGORITHM ARE POLITICAL and part of individual+corporate+government decision-making (Iran (the government) just blocked Signal communication for uprising happening allegedly).

This shows raw reality of computing 'power' (backed by code and humans behind it - innocent and not innocent) who make a big difference.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_W

Amazon faced protests, from ***its own employees*** and activists, for the anti-migrant collaboration with authorities.

2nd part:
At the same time individuals need less to be transparent (with corporations or easy-access info like who their contacts are etc).

LANGUAGE LESSONS - DUTCH
"Advanced Dutch" (see picture)

What to call the 2nd column... the kinda of translated writing? :)

I'VE GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS MINI-PROJECT!

I never wanted to do drugs until now! lol

Will add in next revision
@SIDMusic

and also wait for some other replies now you boosted it... and then revise it again

ABOUT GAMES AND GAMERS:

The real game of life is between people and life.

Not just games playing while on the same server virtually.

(There is a difference. The feeling of togetherness and same goals that can be emulated or simulated by online 'multiplayer' games but not real or constructive enough)

Emulated even opposite to constructive / killing time)

So shooting people virtually on screen :/ not great... even if there are not much other skills to hone or so accessible..

But working with each other over the internet can be possible though just talking without working together can also be limited (but still the slow / fast progress people need better than the same games repetitively shooting others)

Pushing your own boundaries (somehow! not saying it's easy!)

I did think after that 'games' MIGHT bring us together but really it's the design or appreciation of anything / sharing same love for things... deep :)

RETRO COMPUTING MUSIC
ARCHIVE LIST OF EVERYTHING ON MASTODON!

I aim to centralise ALL the RETRO people in 1 post for older "chiptune" game music
+ all the hashtags for the game music and machines so people can go and find more or see what's on Mastodon

One post for all!

Do let me know if this misses any old console hashtgs or people with real retro music passion!)
(I will look at my following and pick the names out... luckily in the avatar it's really easy to spot RETRO GAMES / EARLY COMPUTING people!

THIS POST WILL BE REVISED -
TURN NOTIFICATIONS ON!

OK LET'S GO - SO FAR I HAVE THIS:

A couple of bots by @confusedbunny posting chiptune music tracks from the Atari ST and ZX Spectrum:

➡️ @AtariSTMusic - Music from the Atari ST, posts once a day

➡️ @AYMusic - Music from the ZX Spectrum, posts every four hours

OTHER THOUGHTS:
Somehow I'm not totally into just games but the nostalgia + music is 100% nice and I work in between listening while doing the "real" work or play in life (between people in life- not just games... so let's not go there... yet! Just enjoy together!)

@publicvoit @feoh

I think people get lost in follows (or it's hard to manage) and now I do notifications (click the bell) and interact based on that which is rather more live and direct, doesn't lose context and instant than browsing afterwards trillions of posts (although sometimes do it but like once a week)- how do you guys have it?

As a side note coming from Karl's profile after looking at the spectrum hashtag and this post (if you click this post you will see that post), I came to your profile @feoh since he mentions you and then I saw you had the Atari800XL also... so anyway there you go for Mastodon- +1 following you both as a result!

And here is a animation I just made for RetroComputing Group
:
qoto.org/@freeschool/109065874

Back to the following numbers Karl, I do unfollow also a lot and wonder how your 'engagement' is (from your own guesstimation) as numbers are a bit overrated sometimes and so do you interact with so many or is it more eye-candy spectatorship (all is good but I guess I lean towards liking more participation for the world)

Thanks all.

@bonifartius @publicvoit
A few thoughts / 'realities' perhaps:
- always what power says it was goes or gets said most, so whatever they calculate and however they do it
(TRANSPARENCY NOT THERE FOR THEIR FORMULAS / ALGORITHMS)

- Currently you can't do anything without additional monetary benefits (or only can at a short time and then you run out). I guess the raw number go back to banks and debt... everything runs off it therefore this mini-point (which is a large point in life) means is more correct than any other virtue than conditional greed / debt and the terms and conditions set by everyone from bank thereafter for more % or profit also.

Ok that's enough from me. Let me know your thoughts or how the above is not correct more-often-than-not correct.

Thanks again.

P.S - Not claiming I know how to get out of a Ponzi scheme or profit loop but I know suggesting to other to lessen their power (or get rid of power itself as their self-given 'job' to make people suffer as hands of debt, is a hard thing to do!)

PERSON RECOMMENDED:
CLIVE SINCLAIR

Clive Sinclair, an interesting read
- entrepreneur and inventor
- pioneer in the computing industry
- developed consumer electronics in the 1970s and early 1980s
- ZX Spectrum!

MY COMMENT:
1 year since his passing. Was too clever perhaps - almost like a bastard is bad, and clever person too clever (IQ of 159 allegedly)- but I guess balance is always the main thing regardless how to balance bastards, average, clever people?
