Manual work is a good double-check to the question:
"Is this work actually needed or worth it?"
"IS digging / fucking up all this land by hand worth is and can I do with less or using more people incrementally?'.
Needing people manually (to dig or do anything) means you can check as you go via smaller more careful damage.
---------------------------------
We fuck up shit way too fast and the time and effort needed to do bigger things I feel comes under many categories of:
- cheating planet and people,
- business-making,
- short term thinking
- mass damage without ecological consideration / not thinking ecologically
- feeding greed using mass machines
- big machines are also part of military and government schemes which one want to avoid promoting.
@raimondaslapinskas
Not clear to me exactly how it benefits beyond things capable people were doing in all sciences... because you can use algorithms and computing power to do unneeded / bullshit stuff as well as 1 or 2 things tht 'might' help (arguably computers have topped out as useful)... So we can do with less computers (or just staying at the level we're at t save argument)... You might not accept me saying these toys are cheating the planet and people.
But feel free to give example with this post in mind.
Life basically doesn't need to depending on the most tech-iest most complicated versions and branches of everything...
The same way we don't / didn't too need many of these things before to live (we DID do it before in a simpler way and now as I see it just stacked things on top using the cheating / hidden stuff...)
Even if it took more time to do things at least you had to do it 'by your hand' mostly or your thinking... and bigger stuff was possible with community (even digging) which I prefer over computers and big machines (now we have computer and near-0 community)
We fuck up shit way too fast and the time and effort needed to do bigger things manually is a good double check to 'is this actually worth digging / fucking up'.
We could do things 'techier / faster' but at huge energy / planetary cost and power / resource depletion (for almost every day things like going to shops)... the same way we do things today is the same in 5 years I could do using 'faster' and using more metal, oil, materials, electricity, etc etc for 'helpful' technology that we should possibly do more ourself (rather than the other way around with Tech doing it all which I feel you might be thinking)
And like I said in my previous post before this, fragile dependency is not worth that dependency AT ALL - you start using oil to pump water (instead of another way) and you start losing already... wasting and cheating the wrong parts of planet and for arguably 0 use is just incrementing future crisis disaster by leveraging computers etc... (water taken from nearby villages for your computing power / data centres - not good and direct result shows you what happens).
Increasing later fragile or snowball levels, is not my interest.
I respect how much bad work it does in the end to accept reduction from NOW (with a bit of tech kept).
@Hyolobrika
Without much reading or context etc... (as disclaimer also)
I'd say it might be 'ok' although the higher or stronger power above would never admit that to you or want the underdogs to come up... so that's just a power struggle
On the other hand many people are so passive that it can seem extreme even to use violence (which it is mostly but they are too defensive or adverse to doing action or correcting things... that they think of violence as a totally uncontrolled thing... but it is needed with consideration... otherwise it all goes bad or 1 strong bully stays... which people kind of sttle for as they don't want to fight for their life constantly...
@GustavinoBevilacqua
Tech Tools are like this ....
Many things inside too many more things...
Losing track of values and costs.
Then wrapping it with yet another layer,
Fragile or Snowball Dependency

Technology's weak point is the ability to calculate real cost.
And anyway the cost is 'A LOT' since it pulls in just about all the other resources and sciences to get done making it superior but fragile (like a Lamborghini used on different terrain... looks nice and work occasionally super but bit of different terrain and the Lambo fails pretty quick.
When you have so many chains, factories, parts for factories, factories for factories... quite possibility it shifts the cost and hides it (man hides it from other man in a forever nested process inside another).
And then if that cost is at the beginning to the end arbitrary (set by man to whatever it wants for others to abide by) this means primitive technology probably wins long-term as it has less fault points and less extended bridges to get to a final product
So while natural / primitive products are 'poor' compared to space-aged type tech, actually it's a bit more honest (planet based) and not nesting things or moving the cards from one side to the other to pretend it words.
(e.g. one Japanese company stopping to make specific parts / O-rings might well stop many oil rigs from operating... and no oil means no life)
You could pick many parts and you could stop a car or industry from working almost 100%.
So while nature or primitive technology doesn't get the job done 100% and isn't superior now, in the future it would at leat work 100% (with will power) compared to say a inoperable factory or broken down vehicle and no bigger vehicle to take care of the small.
Kind of Mad Max film or Primitive Technology..

Tell your story (your life experience. Not just the negatives.)
e.g. How did you arrive in that position? (etc...)
That is most interesting I think...
NON-TL;DR READ ON...
Not just telling people what to do (although for me and some others it works 100% when pre-existing or new logic is already there or can be seen.)
But for other people it's different.
I *think* maybe other people need to see and make friends with others first and not to feel pushed.
Others might have a plug-in and play / replace way or anything-good structure in the mind for best attitudes, alignment, etc but not everyone is thinking like that about what keeps people and interactivity for the long term... (or indeed the friendliness and replacements as a solution for life itself!)
Films can be easier to watch and learn because of this probably.
Though having more-real people tell it I think is the way to go as something imperfect but more human than a film... like Grandma pulling out those amazing stories just when you didn't expect it... slightly off her trolley by drinking the strong wine at Christmans which instantly changes the body's blood ratio with almost any alcohol added!
Again I personally like it upfront with why you care or the point... but the reflection I think is what people like as a choice and not to have big feeling about needing to manage someone's passion or over-anxiousness.
People might not like for others to question them or say some truths, but they themselves can o it without being so offended >_<)
Here's a story to reflect exactly what YOU can't say even those others CAN and even though YOU AGREE WITH THEM!:
-------------------------
My mini-story:
I was in high school and walking down the street after coming out of my friends house... he said while walking:
-"My dad is such a bastard."
- Quickly I supported his statement and said "Yeah I know"...
- And he "What?..." so I repeated...
- He kind of stopped for a moment and looked me in the eye a bit and said "I can call him a bastard but you can't!"
- (and then I did the Charlie Brown wiggly line mouth thing..)
oo
~
I was thinking after "why can'T I agree with something he already said out loud! as true?"
Some analysis welcome... just to hear it in different words what you think is going on there (he wasn't the biggest bastard but maybe annoying, ratty or too narrow minded)
SUMMARY
People and story-telling seem to go together (not just the telling part!)
Tell your story even if it's generalised a bit.
As in film-making stories, as in life?
Seems to make sense and feel good. Perhaps more sharing...
Great Audio "Turned Out A Punk with Al Barile from SSD and Gage"

JUST BEWARE OF THE BANDWIDTH DEATH / ENERGY DRAIN
----------------------------------
(with standard OwnCast setups)
Don't believe me just run a Bandwidth monitor
1mb/sec = ton's / GB's up and down for hardly moving video - hm.
Not going to go on about it ... but OwnCast, without audio only settings, low res.... can't justify it right now... it can literally stop shared-internet access or be reason for disposable data like the bourgeoisie having too much access / money for alcohol and just get drunk, just because they can. They/you/we are quite a lot like the bourgeoisie without over-calling anyone names- only just you know what I mean when I say bourgeoisie.
I like some ideas of it (lots) but really check some channels and watch your bandwidth monitor for major time / data / processor / heat loss.
@raimondaslapinskas
Did you have something specific in mind?... like for one of my posts?
@wjmaggos Still have this mp3 (link is broken/404)
It was a "Shorter show with no news or music due to technical issues.
Play with the libre modular synthesizer Cardinal (based on VCV Rack, packing a metric ton of open-source modules) right in your browser!
@falktx who is the Cardinal's developer has made this online version.
Usually you'd want to use Cardinal either as a plug-in in your favourite DAW (like Ardour) or standalone, but with the web version you can have it running in seconds anywhere!
Project's page on Github:

Same Video Filtered from Ads and Tracking:
Assuming people are not perfect in text form certainly helps to get know someone
(i.e. imagine it's like looking through a different lens or it's a person with a disability... then you see what I mean- it's not ONLY all about the text people to understand people or meet them (so text / audio / video / IRL !) Did I miss anything?
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:

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...!
