All money is 'funny money'

funny (in this context)
= shady, suspicious, fishy, questionable, dubious, unethical

Each loan or transaction has % taken or added from it going to the government and banks?... {0_0}

Mama mia... what an extortion racket for the oppression and little we get back. Could have done it for free by ourselves by now!

@leo Welcome to FreeSchool... :)
-How can I help you...?
-Can you create a way I can help?
-How can we encourage others to do more without it being awkward? (usually system make it easier but perhaps just making it obvious how to help is the key like an open-help system / volunteer eco-system)...

@skyblond RULES AND LAW: I would say that's the aim (to lose their humanity / reduce it towards funneling it towards profit).

If it was almost any other way it would grow naturally into something else and even re-form itself. This is not what people of command and conquer mentality want to encourage (since war and ages ago capturing territory and people inside it's landmass).

I would agree bending rules are part of human decision making and obviously better if it wasn't so closed more like a prison!

Weighting every situations and individual person is expensive for justice and less penalty would be given... when they see people didn't mean evil or naturally need to do bad to learn what it is anyway. This way the make mon£y from mistakes / young people learning.

To leave people room for exceptions, have more reasoned experiments, give people leeway, add breathing space, and other words... would mean more humanity... but instead going for the ultra-defined codes and rules allows little for people to wander or enjoy... and more control.

This is very similar to 'German efficiency' (potentially triggering phrase but means in positive way how well made things were and their engineering achievement that were world-class / the best)

Imagine ANY efficiency or engineering type of thing (S.T,E,M. included) where the consideration of people is not in the question. This mindset is very culture of some people that we are finding hard to can't escape in rule or money or anything like an ultimatum... and some people know that very well and it works for them...

Then after that any good leaders must have to bend rules or ignore them in order to escape themselves or for their workers, and pretend to the rigid structure that everything is going according to orders to satisfy the infinite greed of the company and it's directors, while feeling like a human.

@leo
"...NOT BY FORCE. WITH FAITH"...
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6Uz4PRWr3ns&t=46m31s

This means to start doing things without the paper more often and by agreement or "faith" in each other almost only...

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6Uz4PRWr3ns&t=20m48s

What is hard to suppress or track is the goodwill and faith towards humanity in *what we do* and *how we do it*, especially without papers.

--------------------------
The rest of what I said before is like a emotional speech and some ideas how to implement the above. This post is mostly the summary.

VIDEO STORAGE: I think I'm against big resolution copies of video online - so per video more videos...

(things like peertube or yewtu.be have a lot of big versions of files for arguably little use or could be put somewhere for download more than streaming)

So multiple video's for the same video I think overall is perhaps too much of a luxury / sucking big energy and processing power 9even for 1 video)... Could really be reserved for when it's really needed, The added videos (per video) are like a multiplier or compound equation in terms of cost / damage / energy during running time and download / upload / backup etc:

- bandwidth ( ↑UP and ↓DOWN streams for higher resolution... a lot of gb/s )

- storage cost per video (5 video for each video a pyramid of for example 2hrs = 2gb (1080p) + 1.5gb (720p) + 700mb (360p) and then smaller formats (which is ok to get people access at mobile speeds)

-CPU processing power / data centres encoding multiple video files per video (5 format let's say per video)

- massive backups, snapshots, daily routines that could be halved perhaps in terms of time / energy / hardware usage.

- and more considerations

Overall I'd like the medium formats and then 1 place to get big or to ask for it... rather than stream / allow people to not care (the hosts also have responsibility as well as users)

So designing (or not even creating the bigger files) is a type of responsible management. Let user back it up and have just 360p and 720p of files.

Something better than what you see pictured. (over-giving choice / not being used while eating resources just for being there *every* second of the day!!!)

Costs a lot of planet time / heat / storage for each video, and with various quality and reasons for video I think 360p / 720p is MAX and more needs justification or to hunt for it elsewhere (like asking the sources for a link).

The less all-you-can-eat system the more reality (unless you think all-you-can-eat is possible in world or worth the exchange... for a bunch of videos)

Eating the planet while someone forgets to reduce the quality and burn life is also part of this as it's often played at speed people's line's can't even handle (and then imagine sharing a household streaming everything)...

TL;DR

- Towards low footprint
A lot of room for improvement by cutting video and therefore reducing planetary footprint / damage from the cake=like setups we have now.

- Fast ways more than quality

- Giving choice to remember as best ways.

-Remembering user settings - I prefer 360p for example but video's often default to 720p :/ even in PeerTube... the default could be lower or learned per user.

LEWD ART / THE PSYCHOLOGY: There is something about the affinity of those sexually lewd things... it's interesting for a number of reasons...example is this (it's not that bad but interesting mix of characters):
@SL350

It's people like this who put together quite amazing things which other people I'm sure are interested in (privately- like I might look at this) but then there are people that also share it openly which I'm not totally a fan of or against but more I am amazed at the ART... such ART of lewd drawing or sexual stuff isn't the main thing but the quality of the art which makes me think ...
"why can't we use these talented people to do other art also for other reasons that 'stimulate' us?" (our free software stuff or freedom based things which in a way is quite addictive like looking for sexually stimulating things but in a different form... much like hunting for software constantly or looking for more fractal art...

Anyway I'd like to see more lewd stuff lol but that which is CREATIVE GENIUS... don't mind DM to keep it private as every one has their own stuff in a lock box or favourite somewhere.

Oh but I'm looking for Mastodon only art... I know some real-life pron exists but I'd allow that if they personally created it (looks like many are just collections of photos from old web days, so anything you think a Mastodon user created and looks cool despite taste of content)

@olamundo@red.niboe.info @Tutanota "Your email is your home address in the internet."

(well said)

Without bashing Tutanota - that part about "Your email is your home address in the internet." is frighteningly true and a big technical point from which everything almost stems (using S.T.E.M. lol) and all the people you're connected to also (which in terms of surveillance down the line is like betraying / leaking names they will eventually map / hunt down.

So in this case it can seem VERY innocent to 'just sign up' but if they give themselves permission to share and do whatever they want with your details and connected things, then all it takes just one or two services (or one parent company) pimp the details and to spread it around.

The reality is that it's their house space and it's far from mutual. It's worse as time goes on.

It was always cheating ourselves by having such things.

@Tutanota Kinda good. Kinda bad (perhaps).

Allowing Tutanota users to register accounts stops or makes it unclear for people to realise Microsoft is not good in long term and in the longterm we need to have our own ways or just have it away from more-corporate / BigTech way$... which is not aligned with your ways also I believe.

So being blocked fro your users registering actually set that alignment correctly and the message was clear. One of the only reasons to allow it / undo block is probably it's more profitable for them or good for research on your efforts.

(it's when they allow us to 'use them' I feel it's worse in the longterm)

YouTube Comments: Imagine you were successful YouTuber...

How would you manage many many comments (not all need answering but maybe actually there is 1000 "wow that's great" and 100 more are a good comment / worth interaction / healthy as eco-system interaction...

Experts I've spoken to *always* have this problem - they want to sort things but interface or sheer mass overwhelms them.
This is not for Sir Richard Stallman... but it would help him and all experts because when in right mode or filters they are EXCELLENT :)

Even when 5 good people naturally gravitate towards you it can break you life! (overwhelm / be bad timing or something / many things... I'm not speaking for everyone but just imagine your were famous!)
Getting incoming mails or comment or what is important I think to answer - almost all or deal with and it's been a problem for long time (1000's of great comment on YouTube for example and such mixed level of learning)

For this scenario you can imagine all comments are genuine and so this doesn't have to be spam related and from 1000 there is 100 good things to reply... the focus here is quality mainly).
