How to 'give a fuck' while we're in this mess? OH MY... Crazy people equations... 

... I know reading Mastodon people all day probably isn't it 100% unless you wanna prove me wrong ! ...

Born losers I think do exist but the fact you have to WIN over someone else is more the problem in design I think... 

- Born losers I think do exist... so I mean people who mess things up or mess with things a bit too much need a bit of management BUT that is probably all of us in some way but some more in some obvious ways on the outside than other's who is harder to see how / where imperfection lies

- but the fact you have to WIN over someone else to benefit rather than SHARE / CARE is more the problem I think...

because living with faults is the likely the realistic default rather than pretending to be any kind of normal or standard...

Don't like the idea of leveraging people or putting down people in a bad way to build things by that kind of design....

Street Fighter II advertising at a football match!... 

Watching some old football goals I had a video of and saw the advertising in the background...

Ah the 90's eh!

My friends used to show me these types of vid all the time

I decided after many years to check his goals MATT LE TISSIER and wow just like old times both for the goals and old school games!

Two videos screenshot were from

1- MATT LE TISSIER - The Southampton legend's top 10 goals are RIDICULOUS!

2- Matthew Le Tissier Le God [Best Goals]

I'll upload them maybe so you don't have to search on Ynewb

P.S
Noticed which version it was by the SEGA next to the Street Fighter Advertising.... so MEGA DRIVE version which maybe had less buttons as standard!!! ...4 I think)
Anyway this is not as old school as it could be but I used to play it A LOT... and there was even an online version of the 2D series where people could play Peer 2 Peer!... What P2P? Yeah!

3D SF2- NAH! I didn't get into or fancy the 3D kinda stuff apart from SF EX like a Tekken version quite fun to play a polygon type thing ! You could juggle players and do consecutive supers if charged up - look and played more like Virtua Fighter )

Feel free to get me up to speed I know there was a SF HD like kind of refresh of the art and reboot.... anyway... SF2! / SF II! The 16-bit era....

Digging holes with computers.... 

@101101000

I feel like saying to some people "Act like it, if you care about people not machines!"

Which translated means 'do the people work instead if you can't do people first and computers to support'.

I realise this rant is more about the nice title of your text but perhaps it doesn't intend to actually bringing people together... but anyway here's me asking perhaps more than just looking at the website...

Here's a rant about "We Are People, Not Machines"

Those who are knee-deep in computers feel immovable as they are constantly in maintenance mode and therefore in the mind also not with a person (if you have 100 Mastodon news waiting and being overwhelmed you might understand how it feels and the need to be pulled back from that constant catchup).

Not 'agile' as computer terminology but also in people
lol!... more inflexible.... unpractised

Instead it's possible only about needing to talk everything out until oblivion as that's what's been missing for ages (unavoidable if human is main problem with or without computers)

Not directed to you unless you fit the above :>oops but yeah coming OUT of computing somewhat if that really means GOING INTO talking to actual human stuff.

Again not the right space here but it's about relativity with you / you guys.

Both computers and people is not possible unless like you really plan 50/50 computing / people time (and let computer wait too when it's people time)

otherwise you just have the geeks on one side and dummies on the other side (naturally by the pro's using computer which are faster at fucking up things than people - no offence to your computers peep but that shit go too fast at 'doing things'!)

Money is also pumped into COMPUTERS - and people don't realise it - it's was just a hobby lol until someone realise shit - big money in this!

...it's normal for people to go deep in holes...
...and normal to need to take out teenagers and geeks by the scruff of their neck....
... or wait until they realise when money or tech is banned when it gets anywhere near to making a change... (there are good enhancements but still people 99% needed as tech will continue and even at 1% there's too many of 'you' computer folks out there and it's too heavy benefiting the other sides working against you)

Anyway... I'm here to nicely show them what they are doing is almost only digging holes... using computers. And all effort can be switched off... people much less and at top of the decision making and their own DECISION makers rather than just network / chain / pyramid under as political tech.... (which again is needed but talking I think wins overall as too much is starting and dying + needs too much money)

Looking the site now (still about computer mainly and not much about people more than getting people to ID themself?)
This is asked neutrally and hope you appreciate interested instead of more silence (I can go away too!)
Anyway get in contact / DM if you'd like to mention your side and more warmly transfer what it's all about.... and dare I say the human stuff... :)

Some food for thought and my side is clear but flexible about how it's computers OR people and almost impossible middle unless you do 70% people 30% computers / other stuff...

* Incorrect * (unless you assume much of language and it's history is far from neutral or perfect)... 

@arh@smallcamp.art

Ok done. You can find a longer reply on that here:

freeschool.0id.org/words-and-n

Will also be a work in progress but much of the main points are there and just to get it to you sooner accepting imperfection also since I might not want to spend week on it (but some crazy amount of days for sure!).

Help welcome :)

@Acer
A quick look (I don't know the context)

It seems to be offering you a service to monitor your identity to 'protect' your identity from theft maybe via some product or service called Credit Journey... could be Bank or Agency also)

Something like asking you to give your data for free (or even pay them !)... and then maybe install something which seems not so healthy and bad even if it's labelled a legal service by government regulation ;)

Not interesting I guess, and external reading before anything
(so no clicking or reading only their material, looking somewhere else IF you feel you need such a thing which I guess you don't!) ... such an offer might find your usual identity patterns and give you an alert or indirect advertising... or it might just take your identity and steal it ! :)

Steal my identity Yes / No ?
Get monitored Yes / No ?

What joy I maybe wasted my time writing about it!

@arh@smallcamp.art

So how is it incorrect from what you said?

TLDR
The designers of words are not neutral. How it was entered or who allowed certain words in is not neutral. History, culture, time was/is not neutral.

(There's enough loaded there to give some idea how it is not neutral)

Want more?
Happy to expand on it but don't write now as words need more words to explain and are effected by many things in themself expanding yet again more! So I'm asking because often it's not expected that words need more words to clarify! (and this goes for everything / anything slightly deeper than aesthetics!)

So if you want a longer reply please let me know or DM so I'm not mistaken...

Thanks love...

And have a nice SunDay.

CREATE A TRUCK NUMBER PLATE MEME SIGN !... 

Happy to make a sign! Send me your text

Make nice signs... obvious and not so obvious in small / large contexts...

Create here... meme.alexio.tf

No limits here !

It's more about which Mastodon *instance* or config you're on.
Moving instance may help or Host yourself and changing server settings.

Nice to have some limits for training for a while but yeah understand :)

Q. What would you add with all that text space? :]

@pluralistic
You're doing good just gotta speak to all the individuals like a tiny bit more so it even up the balance (if you're not already catering for randoms and reducing the gap between star and fan)

Cheers ( a star and a fan :> )

The money fix for long-term integrity usually goes against projects or just digs the hole deeper... 

...unless you really can measurably get your neighbour, internet and everyone else onboard... regularly increase.

Then there is a /chance/ for something...

But still people need to believe
and be able to read Terms and Conditions. (to like to do it and like to believe in others)

What is paid as job, behaviour, product is all connected to Matrix... 

What is unpaid is what we all need to find a way to demonetise or safe-guard with money - to get people in believing more this this this instead of that.

Thoughts welcome.

Building perhaps also means helping each other bridge gaps in the mind and then for everyone else... enjoy the pic... 

@aral Weird thing uploading this picture was that it was to represent a bridge of people- but probably more in the mind than this physical sense in the meaning.... BUT in the mind we act like bridges for the rest of our connected world... so in that sense it goes become physical - what a total mind fuck... anyway this was the picture I was simply going to add 'for humans building but more in the sense of helping each other bridge gaps in the mind' ... I guess all ways can work here

@stux
yeah and half-brother as an alternative is also a bit comical...

hi half brother

More about the understanding (not really about this situation as I have no idea about it).... 

So I have no idea about the situation - more about the understanding mentioned by @freemo below

I would even go one step further and say those things that push our buttons / make us red light / tilt are high % in EXACTLY what can sorted in us to feel easier about and be carefully made space for to go through it with someone or offender... else it's less chance for progress on either side - kind like 2 x -2 = 0 (balance)...
...if both are willing / can accept a bit of tangential emotion
...even call for some 'fun' in moderation and exploring if unsure....

Well I'm hopeful in that sense it can work release blocks / feel ok with the bad.

SMALL ANECDOTE / STORY
Once I was helping a friend who asked for help and knew I was a eco - minimal person and surely would say something about anything dubious - so we were collecting broken concrete ( outside roof) and then once on trailer went to nearby river and he started throwing concrete into the river... I had to pause and really come to terms with that in many ways!
And took me a while to look up concrete and how they 'could' work.... Sort of research it a bit more more than just accept it's crazy on first look and surely not worth it!
I guess there are exceptions sometimes... or just +/-/~ on the choices once you can learn them...
@freemo @tripu

Aral- is this picture good enough to represent a bridge builders image? (at least in partial sense and more in the mine that physical perhaps).... And for the others, a reply to each of you here... 

Gert V @gert
Interested to see what you mean by toll - could be bit wide-ranging and off-topic - but feel free to use DM about that to find a few things / explore or as you see fit here
There are lots of types of toll so yes maybe it can balance in favour virtually but then other 'costs' or exchanges happen for example the human bonding cost and even friendship that isn't always 100% there (though for me it is) but it needed for some more in reality than ' computer ' which we don't even see wwe're sitting at probably... - and perhaps human contact essential toward total harmony (which I think is possible through friendship first here too but eventually like comfy cats - going between places!

mellifluousbox @mellifluousbox
Funding, perhaps is my best and worse point - I'd say minimise overall
Even centralise between good folk to keep costs down (but say in Mastodon maybe it's all good and small already / self-managed...
so far I hope 'the rich people' can pay for people to upgrade each others mind so exchange privilege (and have enough comfort) for the humanising the rest do - if you can allow me to put it in that way)
Sometimes too easy for people to tool up using tech and all have same level... and forget that ' friendship is for the way ' more than paying for things etc... this kind of thing (which also saves money in the future or merges things avoiding things like website fees for a million people and all that really divisible stuff tech is EXCELLENT at when it's not bloat. The rest like all these vids much less return perhaps until personal and actually watched.
Maybe less bridges for some things and more for other things
And then also indirect ways because bridges are usually too pro! :-] and made by the army originally to conquer / regulate territory.... (bit of a spin there but backbones to Tech are maybe not great bridges)

Steinar @Steinar@snabelen.no
I think we're in the right place too.

Enjoy the pic and happy to jump into chat with anyone and do some small-scale human bridge building to start with :)

Love you guys for what you're doing but consider if the "all-you-can-eat" levels of consumption and using massive hardware for things and how is actually less giving back overall while using BigTech backbones... 

I guess we all need double-checking on this as it's too easy to buy new / rent / upgrade stuff nowadays.

A few bucks / euros and you get double the ram on your server - and then expect more and more etc.... then constant bottle-necking... upgrade trees...

how out of control that can get is a real threat to the ever-essential decision making. (which is now perhaps about keeping it small or making every single ping count when it's as mass)

Keeping it small / simple / giving back in many more direct educational aspects, not just watching vids for example but the hard long road of interaction of p2p on many levels) because all is under threat from the having the luxury of renting the tech for others (USA / Amazon S3 AWS backbones) while people sit back and think it's ok... and more importantly without the rewards /conversion/progress of humanity, of their mind a bit more. Overall the risk is not some of those things while even perhaps just increasing more of the same habits instead.

I support what you do and encourage a few chats (with anyone) just to make sure of those choices that your users are possibly less-educated about regularly check in with someone from external view so you too don't get lost in the matrices...

I'm here anyway...
