It's TIME not just MONEY... 

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:
qoto.org/@freeschool/111840180).

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.

You have no idea how much self-restraint it takes to prevent me from being "that guy" who rants about supporting a monopolistic oligarchy every time I see someone post an Amazon link on the fediverse.

Hopefully this minor vent post will help me keep it in for another few years.

@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 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...

Like all human creations, education has a history and the future of education is contingent on that history. It is the source of institutional inertia and it limits (albeit temporarily) the potential futures of education.

A reminder , tomorrow QOTO will be down for migration. ITs the first step in the new upgrades.

@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:

qoto.org/@freeschool/111840180

@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:
kompost.cz/@fuxoft/11183933449

@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...

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 HA that's one and the same thing!

By the way, do you have any related stuff or something not see much here?
