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.

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!).

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...!

@rmondello my go to is “non-technical friend”
"Moms" and mothers stereotype in Tech... Times have changed...
@rmondello
Initial thoughts are I need to check myself and in my favour mom's did a lot but in computing near-0... so had some weight there also because it's only commercially been around 20 years so just now people are mom's more than nerds people were back then.
●Hope this isn't offensive more of a time line thing
●and yes mom's do he'll of a lot (mine the cleaning but more and more do OTHER stuff which I'm glad to see/hear without seperating gender -
●JUST EVERYONE has responsibility and awareness slowly being improved on all fronts ♡
People are idiots but more like PAID enforcement or paid enforcers of idiocrasy more than only individually. ..
@cobratbq Agree plenty if that around... and didn't see the word 'paid to be' there as it's a big difference and nice people can think people are idiots more like what you said rather than enforcement of idiocrasy (or whatever the profit tree leans towards as more 'efficient' by ignoring things etc)
... ? (your thoughts on that please as I feel it's more often this *deliberately* than things from lack of intellect or accidental things y systematic patterns or individual ones).

EVERYONE IS TO BLAME (EVERYONE HAS RESPONSIBILITY)...
It's everyone who doesn't know what they are doing...
(for example buying coffee by the ton and thinking it's / can come ethically because they said so or now they put on a tree or frog logo suddenly)
Responsibility is increased by others who leverage the masses BUT ANYWAY TO START WITH You AND Everyone HAD TO KNOW:
IT COULDN'T EVER BE THIS EASY WITHOUT FALLOUT / REDUCING OTHERS.
Finding peace and humanity only through war is worrying...
Finding peace and humanity only through war is worrying, AND bad practise when countries stress each other other to contribute more stress/escalate/hide intentions of furthing war... which I think ALL are doing through cheating people using money/debt based economy.
So just the 'head' of snakes and war 'heads' are not the only contributing factor... it's everyone who doesn't know what they are doing (for example buying coffee by the ton and thinking it's / can come ethically because they said so or put a tree or frog logo suddenly).
Not just acting as consumer or contestant...
@Sheril
This pic works for me in the way that 'we' all...
● give / have given too much respect to many bad hosts / platforms.... including games run by whole countries run by state & bank partnering up!
● people (the other contestants) also need to not accept the game and HALT IT!.. So in my company I tell the customer what has happened / is happening or somehow get everything to stop (though this loophole they might seal up etc).
The meek or humble also need to know how to kick ass or they allow steamrollering. Gotta up the ante or show / do more sometimes (not just acting as consumer or contestant).

ActivityPub logo - not only Mastodon...
Just to advertise ActivityPub a bit more...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub
I've pumped Mastodon for a fair while so feel it's true also to forget ActivityPub...
WIKIPEDIA url Thumbnail isnt the logo so had to add image manually doh! '^_^
Actually a page of different versions of this logo I would welcome as link / collection somewhere?
Just promoting #ActivityPub logo and not only the #Mastodon logo.

The DoS attack against mastodon.online and mastodon.social is not very sophisticated. The attacker is using Digital Ocean to send various HTTP requests from multiple IP addresses at the same time. It's enough to exhaust Nginx worker connections. The useragents are spoofed. That's basically it. It will be mitigated, and this will make the network stronger. #ActivityPub #DDoS #InfoSec

"Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford in 1955.
We’ve known this for a long time, but we’ve put a massive amount of money, space, time & energy into pretending we don’t know it.

2. " Focus on actions - not on measurements... "
A Plea for Climate Justice - Report from the IAB Workshop on e-Impact
Vesna Manojlovic — 19 Dec 2022
This resulted in suggestions that were well received by workshop chairs and quoted in the follow-up sessions:
10% yearly decrease of energy & materials consumption for ICT;
Focus on actions - not on measurements;
Support for adding "Sustainability Considerations" section to each RFC!
what should be considered "the Internet": core? edge? whole ICT?
I also disagree with a focus of this paper* on "increasing energy efficiency" , because I believe that the focus should be on decreasing the consumption.
While I do find encouraging the existence of a group of technology vendors, service and content providers would be interested in "Greening of Streaming", I find their focus on increasing energy efficiency is misguided, because of "efficacy myth"♢ and Jevons paradox☆.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

I finished stitching this mandala this morning. It's what I've been doing with my hands during work calls and while decompressing from a big project.
Tempted to stitch a queer-affirming quote around the outside, but not sure what that should be.

Hello Fediverse!
I'm very excited to be offering a few precious things, which I wonder if some of you may find helpful, relevant, supportive, nurturing, useful:
- Empathic listening, empathy practice
- Listening, transforming and healing for anger, shame, guilt
- Support in figuring out your vision, purpose, goals, and bringing them to reality in a way that's within your capacity, taking into account strengths and limitations
- Mediation and conflict engagement, in personal and organizational situations
- Working with transforming patriarchal conditioning, deep wounds, beliefs, behavior patterns that bring us pain and block us from addressing needs and achieving purpose
- Human centered nonviolent power-with-people organizational systems, (or: how to work together, including within your Free Software project)
- Making effective collaborative decisions that everyone can wholeheartedly embrace
- So much more... ^_^
Why:
- I believe in a world that works for all
- Bringing these things to people is directly tied to my vision and purpose
- I enjoy giving in these ways <3
- I really really wish to gain more experience in these things
- I deeply care about the Fediverse, Free Software, Free Culture, power differences, bridging gaps between people & groups
Boost to help me reach people? <3

@garius there's one big difference:
The #fediverse is not a platform, it's a protocol-based community
Move from platforms to protocols
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).
