It's TIME not just MONEY
Time Spent = Human Time/Experience and Material Energy/Time Processing
⏲️ Time Spent - How time was spent before purchases (was the process human?) is also to be considered.
- Happy employees? Or just robots working for company?
- Is that structure sustainable as less-human company?
- Using acceptable ways processing materials?
- etc...
@freemo Heard anyone with problems playing audio on Mastodon / Fediverse?
Maybe something changed?
A few people said they can't see audio I uploaded and I added description here of how there was a difference to getting it to work and not:
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111840180276666801).
So might not be related to this message but worth saying / flagging as playing wasn't a problem before - and I put the issue at that above link.
@ristoid Nice picture, is it yours?
And maybe put some of the text via Fediverse at least (consider it rather than expecting people to to external links)
@LouisIngenthron Well part of the activity that relieves me (in educating others and until I get sign they want the bad) is showing better practices and giving a link replacement (like invidious links to replace youtube links)... that's as a replacement to venting.
And well I think mapping the bad and creating / envisioning between us like-minded is also needed as life is kinda *all* built on the bad but yes we can do better if paths are clearer (monopoly is the tactical aim for a reason by those other people)
So to say "don't... " isn't enough sometimes and I try to say "use this instead" but for example between me and you I think we can *create* something at least in theory to get better ground on venting about hardcoded / forced habits (somewhat) / miseducation / ignorance (etc!) and transmute that somewhat with whatever we have from imagination and beyond with other that can make things actually happen from us as two or more.
So my challenge to you is to almost say what you would usually say (you did it well already in short) but say what you would prefer or what you would imagine instead of Amazon?
Then maybe we can ping pong a bit and find what we can...
I feel those who have inertia or feel the injustice often should really do something about it and together more often...

@garyackerman Is this email subject in reference to anything specific?
"Good communicator" can be just in person too - many are not into tech all even at simplest level (which can still be hard to manage let's face it - and they feel how we might feel about being forced to use AI or Advanced Tech in general.. which is fair to be honest and still a minefield considering email = gmail and Google = invasion of privacy etc etc)... and devices needed, notification etc...
I remember setting people up with email on gmail and then kinda realising well might not have been best thing to get used to... especially in the invasive-now.
-----------------------------
More blah blah about email (optional reading),,,
-----------------------------
Story of many people's life is trying to contact people by email, as it was / is the main way
(now Mastodon-only is almost a real alternative reality!)
It's hard to showing how it's not working / how people fail other people usually really interested in what they do / need for retraining better practises and time management and retain people better to what was never really done well or looked at solving:
lots of interaction and management of it...
and expecting more with more success!
Of course use other tool like Zoom (Jitsi / WebRTC) or simple audio chat (file recording or live chat etc)... but email works as basic start sometimes...
Life can continue in it's broken ways so this is part of the hard task when we have a society running on 3 wheels (made from lots of individuals with lots of emails).
We really need to do some hand-holding or let others walk us through the idea of #bestpractices in whatever their life is about and re-training / (re)do things better to understand each email is golden!
Not breaking people but really working with them...
Email is definitely up there for all time best and worst in communication. Hit and miss and so on... really underestimated too for progress of the 'human' kind of things of many levels usually not expected but still possible by email...
A reminder #QOTO, tomorrow QOTO will be down for migration. ITs the first step in the new upgrades.
@ianRobinson
Try using Youtube with the no-adverts / clean version of exactly same page (Invidious software):
@fuxoft Thanks, looks it's the picture cover of audio - when removed shows audio but with it shows just the picture for some reason, this wasn't an issue before.
Made a quick feedback page - let me know if you find further audio issues, otherwise thanks for now:
@fuxoft Thanks - could you do a screenshot of the audio area that doesn't play and send it?
(also if you're using something special for software let me know else I assume it's standard Mastodon or similar)
Thanks, trying to get to bottom of why this is happening (others also report similar)

Audio on Mastodon not quite right according to tests:
Usually any audio uploaded played ok...
...until recently people said they can't see the mp3at all and just a cover picture - and so I figured out that if you remove the audio cover picture in ID3 of mp3 then it shows the audio...
but previously it would play regardless of what picture cover info the audio had, now I have to re-save audio without cover picture for it to play :/
Any ideas why this is happening and why now?
For my reference. This was a example feedback:
https://kompost.cz/@fuxoft/111839334497282074
@fuxoft That is bad.
Here's another test in this message and see if it makes a difference playing...
@fuxoft yeah it's an audio file, don't you see a play button at all? Try downloading first...
Actually good you mention...
@fuxoft Ah ok, well if you need a bit of a audio Tetrix fix 💊 then check out my latest :
Processes that eliminate human imperfection, eliminate humanness itself... (Agree this is the current Evolution?)
Processes that eliminate human imperfection, eliminate humanness itself.
---------------------------------
More below explaining the above...
---------------------------------
You start to eliminate humanness itself if you eliminate human imperfection in processes and communication systems.
In other words and versions of that:
☻ processes that eliminate (or reduce) human imperfections quickly eliminate (or reduce) humanness.
☻ humanness is eliminated if you eliminate human imperfection in processes
Individuality is important as we all hold different pieces and styles that we need everywhere in order to learn (often more than just profit or just get something done fast)
Imperfection examples in processes:
☻ process doesn't accept individual character
☻ process reduces faults that actually keep us all learning human things between us (alignment) and makes for experience on how to be better
☻ communication too narrow etc
(people become too narrow and start to lack skills at the same time)
☻ more points...
@fuxoft Is this some kind of voodoo AI?
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!).
Podcast Examples:

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...!
