People with old stuff are the ones probably more conscious die-hards in other ways which doesn't means always new is bad, or even better but almost always way worse since it mixes in so much too much! Guess we have to wait for forks and hope people can keep up with these changes (or even settle for 2000's level of computer and be done with 'more'!! and get on with the human work!

That's the trick of upgrading people (browsers or serverside), is that it gets what the technology pushes... and eventually makes people want or need this or that and make decisions (to upgrade continually).

Free picture are not always free... picture attribution/credit, licenses, edit/mod rights, copyright, distribution rules etc... 

Hi there, I'm not sure about Unsplash for photos but I do know more about Pixabay

pixabay.com

(unless they changed or got bought recently!)

So benefits are all these

- no naming / credit needed to be said on your post (0 attribution)

- can mod / edit / share / whatever

- no copyright at all / no license involved

- all types of graphics allowed there + moderated to avoid too many bad / duplicate / poorly taken pics

So this is the realest 'free' I've found. Free to mod, free to do whatever, free to share, no license nothing...

About Unsplash

- Unsplash announced it was being acquired by Getty Images.

Caverat - I did notice some google perhaps in here... so there might be some element of search going and coming there... would love other people's opinions and even alternatives..

So I know what I know and maybe I'm not sure about the above 2 points about Unsplash ... including Getty Images buying them (yup things change and could happen with pixabay too I guess!

This is a big problem with any company THEY CAN BE BOUGHT AND GO DARK-SIDE!

$cary...

but this is the best I know right now!

Animals and eating them... sustainable in terms of multifuctional happiness... 

@madhur
Is interesting andin my current thoughts I see a benefit in animals or anything that can elongate life (make go longer without too much digging in, something more 'sustainable'; multifunctional to land / people / gives something more worthwhile to do than finance/ meaningful low-scale widespread etc.... IF people can care for animals and kiss them and then at the end of life in some way- when it feels right - and animal is ready or asking for it - to give it your sharpest blade as you might wish and be blessed in the process...

(prepare, ask gently, meditate, look at your knife if it's the day for it and as you prepare).
Then make it clean, least suffering. Ritual / Spiritual passage..

.....

giving a pause

.....

For me, taking machines out of the equation almost completely (will have to think but I would say say near everything as it will break anyway - to make us even more sustainable / true to nature.)

So If people can care for an animal or two and give each other care with their foods (to animals and humans), this takes care of many other things too :)
Call it diversity for now...

But it's a BIG "IF"...

Amazingly with a bit of thinking I think things can fall in line IF a pyramid of happiness can happen and when things are given meaning to it / them / everything else... even the salvation at the end from living too long or in suffering... solves that which I think is very just/meaningful... + the giving up your life to others can be (even should be!) a kind of passing of spirit from one into the next and has tangible regeneration as body to others also if people should wish it (not everyone, could be mainly veg as the taking care of nature but with forest letting wild pig and deer roam like they do still in many part of main europe and well everywhere I guess in various amounts).

Something like for old dogs but eating them after playing with, growing old together, using the blade to make food (worthy use of time and needed), and to enjoy their kids/off-spring though the memory of them and repeat the process!

Again the impersonal machine-care and mass-scale industrial, de-personalised contact and distanced-living with habitat, is not for me so this integrates all that
(if you read the paragraph making the opposites of some words you get what I prefer or more towards those spectrums of extreme than these ones).

I may have missed out something in this eco-system of happiness, but I'm happy to take advices or clarify (even to myself but I think that 'captures' the ideal spirit of life for me but letting things live and have ways to let them die! Nobody escapes this (and nothing necessarily needs to run away from it when it's their time).

Holi - the traditional festival of colours in India!... 

@madhur Some pictures of Festival 18th March!

pixabay.com/images/search/holi

Legal-to-share pictures
and even edit-and-share ok,
Other pictures are randomly in there too.

Enjoy! - thanks for the reminder @madhur :)

Today we Hindus celebrate the traditional festival of colours. I share a few of 18th and 19th century artwork of the festival. The common portrayal of Bhagwan Krishna playing Holi with folks of Mathura is also there.

@soundwave
What do YOU think Adam Smith meant by "enlightened"?

(I'd like to answer that question soundwave)

Well I think he could of meant

- those thinking above the general population, string pullers

- those planning for themselves to becomes enlightened by serving themselves...

- those that have power already

and then 'knowing the way; enlightened by using self-interest against each player in the game

(thereby co-opting others in the same way bringing the higher percentages up the pyramid chain leaving only the feeling to the lower tiers that they got something whilst actually making themselves poorer in more ways)

thanks for your post @soundwave

@bananarama

Deliberately easy but also many things depending who you are and how long you stare at the picture.

Most of us understand the thinking position and how are mind is working in such physical positions:

"What to do,..?"
"What to do about the situation I'm in?" (or about the worlds situations)
"What next?"

To be more human or not to be human... is the feeling that it costs us all if we are not constantly helping to solve this constant-suffering called life and living.

It also asks the questions about being outside the door and on the cold concrete.

The person in the picture is looking back at you searching for answers.

SABOTAGE IS A GOOD WORD - Cold Mentality - Restricting true humanitarian progress... 

To invent now is to give weapons to others so maybe don't invent so quick after seeing what people do with everything new before.
Not exactly to save the world.

To give or sell endlessly to people the crud tech? I think it's the latter with disposable batteries or upgrading to next tech faaar behind what they have (say in submarine batteries or the power they have to give life for free but make everyone pay much more- sorry Tesla - he didn't want to make a big business out of it).

To have people stay or save effort and time that much, buy less - that is crazy talk. How much we could free our time - but they don't want that

Obvious instinct is "NEW" hooray. but history dictates those they have power and control = business (making more power and control). And that is problem giving them more power and control with ANYTHING NEW.

IF YOU'RE AN INVENTOR READING THIS this don't let cat out of bag please- it won't be in your hands after - the human mentality is not ready to solve things in right ways.

Reassess honestly those sentences by seeing how all those industries are already off their rocker...
I think I liked one or two sentences but just working on human psyche and human people will solve everything but indirectly (the future generation who say no to stuff a lot more).

Now is the time of calculating properly the way people's mind work not just tech that seems innate or benine. Oh not even open source nice stuff is weaponising as we see and supplying another nice free source.

Consider we are ill slightly without calling everyone ill - just over time we realise what every single industry has done and it done. Don't 'fuel' that.

Best is using less and thinking more about these human types of things and across the board helping people get over the trauma and damage and improve feelings and comms.

If you see how exist system works and profits that go towards wrong things then anything new just makes less sense and becomes worse in their hands.

Trying hard not to sound wildly opposite but perfectly calmly, no- doesn't work with those people now and even engineers are blind at human factor. Just wanna build build!
...oops not we have to solve that empire and all the machines we built for it... Those minds are persistent and cut throat.

Hard to say "do less" and sort the people out- and it's not paid (for a reason) and not always fun (I think it is as we got nothing else but each other) and nobody has been doing this work for decades and even hundred of years (our parents being any example which to be honest they tried their best but were ignoring a whole lot too in the booms of industry at a big cost that we now have to feel guilty about and just learn to live with less)

Mindsets who weaponise everything - bad. Just have to wait for those people to die out because WE HAD SHITLOADS OF INVENTIONS and basically it's not for humanitarian giving it for selling and getting more tax (even charity as a way of conditioning and re-culturing - yeah give them all Amercanised-laptop hoorah!

Sad truth may seem distant to you, but some will be nodding their heads like THAT IS IT - WE ARE IN A FUCKING PICKLE MY FRIEND. DON'T TRY THINK LOGICALLY FOR SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN HUMAN READJUSTMENT OF LOGIC aas the hands now only have the logic which illogical to us and many with just say "I don't believe they did it again".

People are innocent and think they are paying for hospitals only - One big swindle - taking from pot to military etc as massive bujects.
And even weaponising being broke by saying the don't have enough money left over for hospitals or all the nice stuff, open centres, day cay, elderly stuff... oh no money for that sorry... risking it crumbling to enforce some other crazy idea.

They have the money.
They have the tech
A couple of those submarine batteries would charge what seems like the world

...but it's simply regulated not to.

I wrote about this before a while back (the writing should have some points even if slightly different context).

freeschool.0id.org/self-sabota

I feel it's easy to sell new, but with old mindset, matrix methodology it's lost and basically keeping it primitive for now avoids what industries exploit and think they can scale up (scale up doesn't exist without massive chunks of pollution and earth and other people's land manufacturing etc), all prostituted to the level of not solving it AND IN FACT MAKING IT WORSE AS A LOSS MAKER OF OUR WORLD!.

If you don't believe that, then do make it clear - people DON'T HAVE THE WILL + DO HAVE THE TECH (or enough) + DON'T CARE ABOUT HUMANS SO MUCH + DON'T WANT TO SHARE OR SOLVE

We just get the shit stuff to buy again.

Thanks @Pat - next idea please.

Perhaps bicycle powered low voltage at best to keep going.

To be more human or not to be human... that is the feeling 

I ask from the world ( you in the now reading this ):

- Do you feel and want others to feel more human?

DIY vs. Complexity... Cost vs. Efficiency,... Gas Boilers.. Repair people... etc.... 

About this topic of how cheap it is and real cost of things
vs
hiring people etc

writing and thought I'd put it elsewhere and format is a bit later... so if you want reply see:

If you want help I can get you results lol....

- 10 or less tabs (from 96 open)

- And reading within each site
= 96 x 2 tabs at least + reading each - could be few pages per tab opened + cascaded, music, audio links, blog, external, new terms etc.!
Aim was for new year but was realistic so finally go it done from pushing unrealistic things!.

MY EXPERIENCE

- Like playing solitaire opening something and trying to match it / put in suites
...added difficulty = doing above while posting and editing pictures, bringing text together, watching video, comments, notes all together... low disc space lol

(all good economy though for filesizes <100mb usually)

FEELING
Happy with my profile too:
see my 'media' for great bit of arty edits + text together - some too deep or to or for shallow TLDR but all quite quality.

MASTODON LOVE <3
I love how Mastodon puts pictures and thumbnails in instagram-style grid for media I work with so go ahead and see more here:

Simplicity of interface +mouse-over 2-frame gifs... fun.... 

@allergianalyudey I really like it for the simplicity of interface, very quick mouse-over 2-frame gifs
apart from 1st one 3 frames.
makes it interest to put mouse over to animate.
Thanks- little things like this make me happy and more economically using tech

(I also like short video clips but involves watching a lot of unwanted stuff, not all bad but have to focus on best bits). Made my day thanks again!

Barack Obama, real or not read video?... And notes, and few fun quote lines... 

@dredmorbius

Video name: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee:

Link below (non-advertising version):

yewtu.be/watch?v=UM-Q_zpuJGU&t

Corvette intro tasteful is quite well-done advertising no? (like top gear) And humorous without overkill.

So IS this really Obama - you decide?

Everything is so well acted today, or is this for-real acting? :)

See for yourself if you haven't already!

-------------------------------------------
NOTES BELOW IF YOU LIKE DETAIL

Some fun comments from the video, the comments and actual quotes:
-------------------------------------------

Imagine being so famous that you can literally just chill with the president!
- Page comment

"You're a comedian with the president going nowhere. Back it up,".
@5mins - Daryl the Guard

Now, anonymity is not something you think about as being valuable.
@6.40mins - Barack Hussein Obama
(about just meeting on the street someone you know just in passing)

How far can you get around in your underwear before there is people and it's not cool?
It's not cool generally walking around in my underwear
@8.40mins - Barack Hussein Obama

I shave and then work out...
Why share before working out?
Because that's how I do it and I don't really need a reason.
@8.10mins

Are you still doing stand-up? (to Jerry Seinfield)
Are you still making speeches? (to the President)
@15.50mins

I'm appreciably cooler than a few minutes ago
@18mins

Hard not to like people once you get to know them, which these kinds of thing generally warm us to... if was good, well-balanced- what can I say production can make things work seemingly easy!

I don't know if it's me having worked full-time for nine organisations already (five of them for-profit ), the industry itself having changed, me getting old and grumpy, or a combination of all of the above, but **too often now, the typical start-up attitude feels almost disgusting to me**.

The jargon, the buzzwords, the grandiose goals, the productivity hacks, the hyped substacks or podcasts, the cheesy taglines, the obsession with “growth” and “disruption”…

I still love and the , I think is still eating the world, and I believe in great organisations developing novel ideas with a net positive impact.

But [“Silicon Valley”](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_), which used to be a parody, became a docu-series with the passage of (little) time.

Perhaps it was always that way, and I've grown more mature. Or maybe things got worse.

Thoughts?

@Pat Well that is genius sir ... !

Just to clarify also what it is and isn't + some examples:

The idea is not to manually type in reasons and comments why this or that - much more to see WHO is interested and usernames and then to easily mention them one DM / send those users updates... so then it's not so public or encouraging too much from others to continue with the existing people or those that ask after...

Other examples:

example 1: can you come my party this Sat?', then people can see who wants...

example 2: who is interested in this project ?

example 3 do you prefer wed or thurs?

and voters for projects would also be able to contact each other after ONCE THEY SEE WHO WAS INTERESTED...

polls could even be perishable or 'decompose' (after like 1 week)

Call it engagement but contact through mutuality I would say describes it better and culturing to breed if we want to get this world get back on it's feet
and off it's knees!...
more affinity in contact!

Rather than just dead poll (which is ok for that) getting people is the potential.

Kinda the why / what we're here for...
