@bonifartius The part where it says "In Russia people were living a normal life" I felt very mixed feelings, but mostly the fact that Western life is based on war first and then some aesthetic of normal (i.e. it's only been normal for a short period of time and just 1 or 2 generations back was pretty brutal... so for me it's this fakeness that maybe people don't see in their own life (forget if you can Ukrainian for this context)- so the normal person is living under ignorance themself or false umbrella that came from war and still needs it in order for people to keep paying for it in taxes.
Many people probably feel morally they are respecting other by paying but don't see the 10% of good it might do is 90% paying for war mentality of progress and equipment (including supplying those others!). Whoops...
Of course the video and subtitles can't be perfect but they are not far from the truth with these image of normal perhaps
- people crowded
walking (maybe to work)
- people crowded
protesting
- people crowded
concert hall
- a famous person coming out of a limousine
- "Enjoying western lifestyle"
Dancing
Pole-Dancer/Sexy lady
Speech, possibly right-wing
Foam party
then it's like
"Meanwhile Russian soldier were slaughtered in Chechnya"
And I got mixed feelings of yeah ok I get it (and might feel slightly different as I get it takes time to process)...BUT right now
After seeing the dead soldiers
I say compassionately "That's what you went for"
Even though their reasoning for going to war could be + / - / ~ I'm 'quite' sure they had lots of time to think about it.
I have more to say but later...
@freemo
Just about to say it looked pretty good. A bit of wax or some varnish and "it'll come up great".
Older browsers can't see some page / do some modern ticks like WebRTC...
@SuperDicq 1ST WebRTC alternatives?
Audio / Video conferencing / human-contact stuff like WebRTC seems really needed...so I wonder if anyone can list the workarounds or other ways when someone has a running a total happy perfect old browsers but can't WebRTC?
:/
Jitsi maybe has a desktop version but yeah an application might be the answer (outside of bowser)...
suggestions welcome for solutions otherwise

2ND TOO ADVANCED IS ALSO BAIT
Too advanced = 2nd class web-citizens :) But that's technology kinda naturally and kinda not also - naturally we upgrade but less naturally some industries deliberately upgrade JUST to keep people upgrading for the newest carrot/cherry/car which is eventually phased out when it's tired of existing profit maximisation.

@SuperDicq
Some older browsers I tested on your site can't see any of your comments (viewed on page:
https://minidisc.tokyo/@SuperDicq) - no comments but can see and show top title parts before the horizontal divide
gives syntax error
ERROR CODE: SOMETHING_HAPPENED
Details (expand arrow)
SyntaxError: invalid property id
(then empty space where the comments would go usually or Firefox show)
Seems your site is scripting or something 'advanced' :)
BUT could be my browser config so regardless try run some old browser on your side as people using old browsers might just be quitting off thinking your site is broken (when it's their browser or your site being too advanced) ...
when I looked at my own reply in my own instance interface ( going to the post link, it loads the comments natively no probs and can click any comment as normal but on your site it would seem you site is doing something 'advanced' :)
I could be wrong so test it yourself with some of those browsers you mentioned.
Usually I just close the browser and happy I'm excluded somewhat but was a good test since we were talking about browsers and compatibility !
(I assumed it's probably my end) and in a way I feel it saves me time browsing another profiles half-randomly :) (but I understand your instance didn't mean to exclude anyone. maybe but needs de-upgrading! )
Writing this across time and space so might seem like it's written patchy - I guess that's normal :) Thanks

and don't think any other war is different. fuck governments.
Much like a traditional Fire Stove (which is a box on legs with chimney tube for smoke) and if you have a big pot could put it on on top while heating the place... and it would look similar to this ^^
But I like the idea:
- if it's portable
- if it needs kids to cut the wood and stay there all day to put small bit of wood in there or the bits from going to the forest!
- small = more yellow flame and control needed

So what is Love (and what is Anti-Love)?...
So after a few plays of this very fun video (going to reply that all day!) ... I'm wondering now at the end of each play, what is love ?
Ah my trusty list is here to help answer that I hope...

And list of anti-love words here
(because knowing what isn't love is perhaps equally important)

Much Love and Respect to all Sovereign beings !
#Putin and many need to learn make their business love
Love To #Russia #Ukraine
Going to need lots of love for all the mini #war (s) always happening in many ways behind our backs and now this #UkraineRussianWar at least more in front of our faces.

How do you say PONC btw?
Once you build a machine you might want to find a way to stop it or plan not to need it so heavily...,
Once you build a machine you might want to find a way to stop it
because
1 - it's inevitable to be turned against you like a computer's speed is and paid programmers are developing the opposite to you or using the #opensource / #Freesoftware software pieces to build their own wall...
2 - BUT ALSO to move into more-human interaction as goal as more-guaranteed human investment and usage of time
- and even phase out heavy industrial-needing computers... not green at all - maybe the #raspberrypi etc could work
HINT: The answer is more 'faster' cleverer people not continual-upgrade attachments or continually recycling projects and hardware as we already have ' communication as a protocol quite well in computing and need o only need to add a bit more
MAINLY we just need to actually start having meetings and get chatting as well as developing! To enjoy a more full eco-system of people for when the war comes to us...
I guess Jitsi / Matrix right now are leaders... any other ones just let me know...
Half-Ironically 'buy bitcoin' as a way for them to spend...?
@ainmosni
Half-Ironically 'buy bitcoin' because Ukraine legalized it and actually sorting out those banks messing everything they connect to in the long run will do it for peace... (which includes paying for both sides or war and supplying payment to those that want to arm up). Indeed it pay to war and is a war-enabler itself...
....so ok I feel better about this suggestion often it's too short-sighted to do anything long-term or not understood who or what is behind practically everything...
At least read up about it's current proof of concept (usage confirmed working and Ukraine legalized it recently)... so using it for next crisis if not now... as there is some 'system' or way all this war is being funded (again and again).
Also something very much like this because typical ways often fail... including these typical examples
- Aid via a Company and Banks works out as as another business / shell game / cover up / high % cut by the time it gets to other side
- " charity not change " (Chumbawumba quote)
Meaning money doesn't change things much and offenders or their patterns and predatory behaviour continue - the results of financial suppliers / take-advantage hunters / trouble-makers / system design / deliberate entrapment is continual never-ending as long as they exist to fund anything they can suck dry or hold as collateral )
My feelings are with those in war but it's more than this onion skin above..
#Putin -> #Russia <- #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar #Everywhere #Bank -> #Finance(s) -> #War <- Taxes
DARK ICON EXAMPLE - welcome people to add here (maybe the SVG's or other wacky examples welcome for #Mastodon icons...
Bitcoin AND bank money at the same time!...
So I'll admit I might be confused (so that's disclaimer done) but happy to work it out...
I could be right in saying the word money is used interchangeably here either by me reading it that way, by reader, and / or yourself... so that's just 1 thing I'm aware of mostly for myself and yourself while going on to the next main point
The main point for me and value added I hope:
Nobody means to say use bitcoin only. Bitcoin AND bank money can work together and needs that for any transition so that's ok.
If agreed on not disagreeable then...
Using something elsewhere, means the power or traffic is somewhat taken away from banks (by not having transaction profits there or profiting in terms of regulating people actions...
#Putin #Russia #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar #Everywhere #War
so i.e. people are using Bank's monopoly less and therefore dividing the flow which doesn't have to pretend it's a whole solution but the fact it's doing what it's doing away from banks is in itself a bit of proof of the concept splitting monopoly elsewhere (however much big or small no need think about it that way).
But if you do want to thinking about in terms of buying items online or expecting something to replace everything right away... then you might be pleasantly surprised ! Similar to how paypal or something wouldn't be for groceries at the start well it's happening already. So food not so much (yet) and a quick example would be (e.g Tesco's online delivery serive for example accepting paypal online) but anyway people have crazily (even banks) started accepting bitcoin so without speaking on their behalf and using their actions they seem to confirm it's credibility and act FAST (it's a bit shocking to be honest for an old-looking system to act). So something is in that and they allow either payment to them and/or others without me trying to do any more advertising them or bitcoin to shove any cake in their already fat cake holes.
EXAMPLE FACTS SUPPORT THIS even though I'm not a big fan of bitcoin here I just like note taking and thinking about things that are 'not the same old crisis makers and swindlers beding us over again'!
(Disclaimer: Numbers or facts could be or +/- since these 2021/2022 facts)
Last year OCT 2021 - Record-breaking transactions, 4 days in a row.
About 30billion per day circulating between users (That's 4 x 30billion sent around world within ~8 days)
This is not counting the normal transaction days i.e the other days of the year outside that week.
El Salvador legalizes bitcoin (2021)
2.1 million #Salvadorans ACTIVELY used @chivowallet (not just downloads) in first 3 weeks.
- More users than any bank account users in #El Salvador.
- 30% of the whole country used bitcoin.
- ALL THE ABOVE happened in less than 3 weeks of bitcoin being in operation.
Bitcoin is accepted by a keymaker in Sri Lanka!
(just a joke fact! But saw the video on it in passing so this is for fun and who knows - but for anyone to know what it is on ground level is more amazing than people not knowing what money is... for all their life - ask your mum and see what she says ! Sorry tongue in cheek here and also real-world test to prove while working for money, talking about how important it is and consuming it people can know literally 0 / nothing about it and I think financial systems hope for that. In an economics degree it's even not mentioned more than a few lines how money is made - Peter Joseph paraphrased so now wonder politician and everyone else don't know, it's the world best kept assumption / ignorance / whatver people think it is and where it comes from... poof)
Ukraine is the latest country to legalize it.
Bitcoin has open public accounting system - any time public lookup
And stats live which say how much is in circulation

OVERALL SUMMARY RESPONSE
You said people think money itself is the goal...
- Seems partially it is when it's the power to create that Banks can do and abuse / dilute / devalue / inflate ...
- bitcoin is seen much more transparently and has a philosophy with it (what' the banks philosophy?)
- what's going on is a search for trust and transparency (or that's one part, again not all or nothing use both). Called it avoiding fat-cat-cheating which has had taxpayers had to rescue banks (bailout) from a 2008 crash and ongoing when the banks looked at us, the public, and said 'we have no money'
(paraphrased... I think!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008
- #Bitcoin or the power to create / self-manage is the very point (although it may not be in some traditional sense for goods but anyway as I write this it is literally becoming so with uptake even by banks which make your comments a bit old already - not that old is bad but shows what you think about good, food, services is already happening and was even between users and now more infrastructural)
- Power admittedly 'could be' seen as taking away those that have if you consider and agree that people doing something away from an existing monopolising type system or copy of a similar currency is not longer being used as much and somewhere else. At least power (control of the currency, transactions cost in your kitty, tracking movements, insider trading) are less.
Lastly. Just reminder you said:
"Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies are a great example of how people think that money itself is the goal, and not the power, goods, and services that money represents. Money is worthless if it can't get you food, or can't be used to pay rent. Similarly, creating money doesn't just take power away from those who have it. Bitcoin does not take the means of production away from those who control it.
And quick pic just as a bonus.
Boost if you like it.
Picture reads: Technology, Philosophy, Economics, Finance, Memes (Bitcoin)
I'd cut the 'Memes' from the spider diagram but actually it's really helped and looking at some #bitcoin posts the picture or parallels help explain 'why not banks' as well as MAYBE reading more about bitcoin and what it can do really well and what's worth going for in this or things for the future.
Hope you enjoy. Appreciate it might take you a while to read.

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy
#Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested.
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.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
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:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book

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...!
