@jonn_blanchard I appreciate your speed in reply and candidness. Consider it not a shame as we did well to talk about it.
You will still have me as a number following but I won't see you in message as from now.
Thanks again, hope to see how it could work in the future. (friendly audio chat or even podcast always a thing for me but again just thanks for now). ✅

@kentoseth
lol I can't even see that emoji

... funnily does get desired effect though like a sarcastic blank space !!!

@jonn_blanchard MASTODON POSTING METHOD & STRATEGY !!!!!

INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS AS A WAY OF LIVING LIFE *MORE TOGETHER INSTANTLY* THAN APART but also not posting everything as 'public' level as 'unlisted' is still public and enough for adding to the same thread !

So this is what I would like to write you and others as example below to the above strategy in order not to be overwhelmed and not to disconnect from your posts from sheer mass number of them. This is what I wrote and will half-use for the next person that is ace / fast / intelligent etc!!

"Hey, I like your posts,
I currently use notifications so I get a lot of posts instantly if you send any public post
(which I don't mind kinda if it's a lot but there is an improvement I can suggest that avoids a natural ultimatum of living my life or yours!)

Because both your life and mine are good and this can help 'get more quality from the collection of posts we make at public or unlisted level... so this below is a 'how to' keep both / all of us in the loop!)

Currently I have you with notifications switched on (the bell clicked) and I am now following others bu not in the sense of 100's of people as random and diluted in the Mastodon Home tab too diluted but now I see what people thinking or doing more instantly... (so if you find someone as I have found you of interest we can appreciate them and even engage instead of weeks/years later all the time and actually work / contribute stuff)

So for your posts Johnny it can be 1 public post for main topic / new theme and the rest unlisted inside that.

So it would be good (for me personally) and you I think if it was as a public post for first post then the rest 'unlisted' inside that set of posts - for example
GOT NEW COMPUTER...
1 PICTURE 1
2 COMMENT 1
3 COMMENT 2
4 REPAIR 1
5 REPAIR 2
4 FINAL REPAIR / FINAL COMMENT

and the final one or two posts could be public in order to get my interest again or round it off as a set and close topic somewhat. (all that list as notifications for 1 topic is a lot, it could be only 2 or 3 which is still a lot since you do a lot of computer repair work loooool)

So 1st post and last post public
(loosley not making you do what I say here but without this it's too many posts alerted and yes I think realistically for many people we simply don't re-vist what we backlog in the past (that is piling up for the future and making it too future-weighted)

Just saying this honestly (it was going to be much short Johnny but for others I'd like them to see benefit of instant notification in your posting style).

It's a better middle rather than take you off instant notifications and forget you mostly.

(I was just about to take you off now- but do let me know if you're willing to implement a bit of this as consideration to keep instant-notified followers..,.. else you'll be on my follow list and the home tab I never visit and full of other 'stuff' / completely diluted :/

Thank you for reading and see what you can do sunshine!

Let me know via DM if you take this unkindly and feel free to add what you think here about the method... otherwise continue as you are somewhat and look forward to having posts somewhat reflect each separate topic! :)
Thanks again.

@elmeyer FINALLY SOME SOUL ON THIS QOTO SERVER AND DEEPER HUMAN THOUGHTS!

MORE THAN SCIENCE, ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGICAL, MATHEMATICS I think this type of practise is needed more often as a science almost barely touches it. We often don't invest in or increment these things.

(click post to see what I'm referring to)

MORE DETAIL:
So I think it's essential and without making an example of Lars too much for writing what I'd love to see more often or putting down QOTO for well near-0 people doing this!!!... just on all fronts AS A SOCIETY IT'S NEEDED or you could say it's below a level as in:
WE'RE STARVED OR STAGNATING THE WAY STEM HAS IT BEFORE, WITH GOV'S/BANKS FLANKING US ON ALL SIDE INHUMANLY / UNEMOTIONALLY!

Improving ourselves <----> us just a bit more please people.

Call it Social Science, Society, self-development, anti-fascist technology or any words the readers can help themselves or help me add here? ----> ??)

Tech is often useless and not listening without an improving self of people <------yes people at the top of
(and as we see s.t.e.m. is dangerous without it and ignorance/less balance makes then superior in messing things up)

We all needing emptying and 'filling of cup' towards purification or practise this kind of learning (<--again plse replace words here to help me improve)

Words could be harmonising / balancing / beginning to learn compassion).
Not just x = [x + %] !

THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST LARS.

I THINK YOU'LL LIKE MY STUFF:

TRY FOLLOW FOR 1 WEEK THEN DUMP ME IF NOT!
+ ADD NOTIFICATIONS (AS I HAVE NOW FOR YOU!).

Back to square one and doing the difficult work with people like me who just accept the above and go for another way.

You try avoid it but you can't beat negative maths- it's FAST!

I invite you to talk. Living involves some things but trying to win the above equation or play the game of life (pictured below)... is stupid like a person going to the casino and expecting to win often.

'service providers'

@adamosophy PRIVACY AT THE COST OF COMFORT - TO 1 AND ALL

Maybe you didn't know but there is *ALWAYS* going to be discomfort compared to an 'all you can eat'... '24/7 version' if we do things ourselves or do thing more humbly... because those ways are connected to the bad.
(You can't have all-you-can-eat without waste / eating planet... you can't have 24/7 without heavy electric and mechanical costs somewhere else)

That is why there is an alternate list of servers to help do the privacy filtering again YouTube and Google which deliberately leverage those ways and even encourage people to add zillions of videos (now 1days worth *in* every hour).

So take discomfort as a welcome whipping for takign the best of a bad / far-from-sustainable serive provider like Google

AND if not this 1st link that works for you, just use a 2nd type link or other server name

So 1st yewtu.be/watch?v=5fOJbWtmBFE

and if not then this 2nd link with your video ID

redirect.invidious.io/watch?v= <---with your video ID instead

SO ABOUT ANY DELAY IN CLICKING OR GETTING VIDE 2ST TIME I WOULD SAY (TO EVERYONE)

IT HAPPENS... BUT higher priority is the privacy
and
not helping BigTech get any bigger
(or what do you think? all these videos and ways of providing works / is worth not taking the hit for in some way?)

If you imagine on a ladder the priority and goal then this discomfort of things not working 100% or having to filter things (using the Invidious way) IS the 'cost' we pull back morally and this cost or delay is not as high as preserving the main goal of not letting them rule the world (in short but we're almost there already in a few short years)

Without sound too strict you have to be responsible - even for other people's / Google's bad games.

You must know where your priority is. If it's like "mneh, urgh and oh so long I have wait" then you know you're becoming normalised to what is unrealistic that the companies proivded falsely on on false basis (mass energy / electric and hardware consumption, also coming from politically horrible America legislation and nest of aggressive soldiers and war makers digital or land/resource grabbing).

This is real war and while I don't expect you to take the whole burden or war equally like America - I do expect you to pull up your own pants and even arm yourself with the best and crappiest weapons in effort not to join them.

So any cost under this goal of avoidance / non-participation *should* be see as known pleasures ! :) ! of doing things right / for fun and for better ways since we *cannot* have snooping by providers and money-making schemes based on aggressive privacy which further push in all areas and sectors for life for a worse position (or do you think it's possible by just going with their flow?)

@james
So nice idea. Without a bit more context or description I'm not really see the why but ok! :)

@AYMusic 8-BIT MUSIC FROM GAMES

1st song from this audio is the most eclectic all-rounded set of sounds (which means suiting itself and not having effects sounded like they were borrowed from something else out of context). The rest of the songs are decent and adventurous too!
You can play it and imagine a little...

This one deserves a bass-boosted remix! Let me know !

@bonifartius I always posted and then some! It was also for me because yeh people are let's say variable in ability to response but it time it does hit something or on the 10th time so without trying hard, it's all good practise for (for self and then possibly for the other person).

Don't look at my profile 0_0
Long list of victims escaping reality... I'll be happy to list a few highlights mostly 'money is just a neutral tool' or 'banks debt isn't the biggest problem' types of vibes - thrillingly gangsta banksta stuff.

Have to have some humour or die of lack of well anything - so some humour and self-creation is in order like this Coolio music cover with some lyrics - watch peolpe's ear bleeed! qoto.org/@freeschool/109140513

@feditips @JohanEmpa
Maybe some 'work' for donations to increase awareness of options, some bigger buttons, get people to humanise the whole thing a bit more in asking... an audio, a picture, something!
Without be overly needy getting people informed on it's features... err dare I say having fun :)
(not that it isn't fun but it can be a bit livelier at times)

@adamosophy

yewtu.be is youtube, only it's a filtered version

yewtu.be/watch?v=5fOJbWtmBFE

just browse and copy filtered link or replace the video ID ---> the part after the ?v=

@chartier Yes thanks.
On another note do you know something almost exactly like Mastodon / activitypub that can handle more pictures and display pictures between text? Thanks

SENTIMENTS NEARER DEATH
WE GET MORE HONEST!

CONTRAST OF OUR HUMAN NATURE

Being sentimental or suddenly full of regret near to death is natural and probably hard to escape.

This post shows a bit about human nature; both as "It's ok to do these things / don't mind" and then nearer death "oh no what have I done / I should have done these really important things" but only when you've lost or losing something NOT before!

QUICK EXAMPLES FIRST:

Example 1.... being honest to self or others, only when you're dying or someone is leaving you.

Example 2... seeing what money is really worth, seeing in the end what's worth it when you can't hold on to it or it's worthless for health!

Example 3... not practising what you preach - not going for it (not enough courage or playing it too safe, maybe not even working on it)

(some of which is perfectly part of everything but some we might never learn part getting out / solving / doing right / taking upon ourselves instead of deflecting / getting out of a paradoxical human thing we spin into crash somehow anyway)

Example 4: 'Charlie Brown' comic strip:

Schulz was asked if, in his final Peanuts strip drawing if Charlie Brown would finally get to kick the football after so many decades (one recurring theme in Peanuts Comic was Charlie Brown's attempts to kick a football while Lucy was holding it, only to have Lucy pull it back at the last moment, causing him to fall on his back).

His response, "Oh, no. Definitely not. I couldn't have Charlie Brown kick that football; that would be a terrible disservice to him after nearly half a century."

BUT DURING HIS DEATH

But in a December 1999 interview, holding back tears, Schulz recounted the moment when he signed his final strip, saying, "All of a sudden I thought, 'You know, that poor, poor kid, he never even got to kick the football. What a dirty trick—he never had a chance to kick the football.'"

SUMMARY
So I think we can learn from this ahead of time.

While we're alive we don't want to give others much thought or be too real or maybe we're too precious over things rather than giving and even receiving freely...

People make silly games or go along with it like making people pay for our own respect 9we should all have ourself) or heroes that have to die or have something happen as part of a humankind as a sort of of click bait or hook to get them to see 'what happens next' as a psychological way to get people to keep reading... or find endearment / weakness etc.

In all fairness the Charlie Brown comic strip is tip of the story iceberg but simple and short enough to see people creating the misfortune designed (there is documentary about Marvel character templates for just this) otherwise possibly it wouldn't work somehow... much like how children like to see you fall or made a sad face when they take things from you and you say 'aww but I didn't get any cake' and the child smiles...
(adults too in more vicious ways)... kind of sick in a human 'normal' way...

Something about the human being makes people want to be high or low- not the middle

1. HERO high
or
2. SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGEDY low

(some of which is perfectly part of everything but some we might never learn part getting out / solving / doing right / taking upon ourselves instead of deflecting / getting out of a paradoxical human thing we spin into crash somehow anyway)

Thought welcome.

@EdS SUGGESTIONS:

1. I'd include the times of a few countries so people see around what time it is for them

2. A link to an online world clock / timezone calculator to check personally what time it is for others locally if not in Ontario is also perfect... without it being a bad site / full of adverts to regret it

Above ensures people plan and can check- so many time late / no shows purely for this and even plus or minus an hour for summertimes or winter etc...

3. Reminder / Announce again 1hr before start so people can do the simple math and say right 1hr's time ok!

4. Remind them to turn notifications on so they get your reminder in browser an hour or two before
(if not sure how to do this see link below)
Actually a lot of people miss this and don't even know about it - they click follow and think that's it and people just get lost / diluted in all the follows when they can more seriously get a message every time you post!
