@se7en
another example:
for example
1st link- https://yewtu.be/watch?v=-0kcet4aPpQ
backup link https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=
@se7en I would put both, something like this for example:
The yewtu.be link first <----(most memorable to people, sounds the same)
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=EEdvwJtkvG0
and then add then the
'alternatives link' under this title:
@se7en Yeah saw that, that's great.

Also a comment from the page called "Why our comics are Banned from Patreon"
They are forced to put in these rules by Mastercard. If they didn't, then they would lose the ability to process online money transfers which would instantly kill their business.
NATURAL LAW.... (NOT JUST MAN-MADE LAW)...
NATURAL LAW
(NOT JUST MAN-MADE LAW)
from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
____________________________
Main thing ESSENTIAL for me in life is:
...people have inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, nature, or reason."
SIDE-NOTE Nature itself could be protected by Man in a similar way, which I think South American countries like Ecuador or Brazil or Peru have enacted or wanted to... etc...
So we can protect nature rather than just buy and sell it...
____________________________
EXTRA READING IF YOU WANT:
Pasted from Wikipedia:
Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a system of law based on a close observation of human nature, and based on values intrinsic to human nature that can be deduced and applied independently of positive law (the express enacted laws of a state or society).
According to natural law theory (called jusnaturalism), all people have inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, nature, or reason."
Natural law theory can also refer to "theories of ethics, theories of politics, theories of civil law, and theories of religious morality."
@freeschool If you read back through your long, rambling posts, and sum up your key points in a couple of concise posts, I'm happy to continue the discussion. I'm not obliged to do that work for you. Insisting people continue to engage with unedited rants, will only result in getting ignored, if not muted/ blocked. Just saying :)
@AYMusic another good one
- some almost contrasting classic sound
(while it's probably in all games of this era)
- somehow this seems different or a kinda of combination that works (bass melody, crunching bass drum and computery tune on top!
Maybe I just had to say how good these things are or how I like them lol!
wacky and darts don't seem to go together or reflect in title picture but hey whatever they make is gold enough in some way for sure!
@how Super- that's a a lot of good stuff - that's kinda of why I like talking to people as it groups all the other things in and cross-pollinates. Really happy you're doing that.
@selea COFFEE ADVICE
As I see, these kinds of chemicals (drugs if you will) are just kinds of chemicals that are cheating the body like body-builder might use steroids (a temporary gain at a loss or crash or system failure bottle-neck later). 1 doesn't matter but relying on it or using it as a main weapon is bad.
I also see the supply chain from Brazil, rail roads and such colonial things (like tea was from china) and really worry about that without actually over-worrying since I'm quite balanced.
But there is obviously a reasons there is such a consistent supply chain even exist commecially and why people like software engineers / non-sleepers / medical staff / badly trained people / people in exhaustive industries abuse such substances.
Not being anti- xyz overly but here is a classic case over-usage by those that allow it will lower-level type entry stuff (good taxable material / products too).
Nothing much one can do but do a consistent non-maximum speed marathon of and be one's self at your own speed regulator with less of these spikes and keep more of a marathon going... and also it's about improve the mental side een if your job is pushing and trying to cut corners (we need to stop that but getting people to talk / stress more slowly and have spaces etc). Industry is to blame also... so going to find circumstances that allow us to express or conserve more energy is important so we don't get desperate or exhausted....
You can find smaller things like 10 apples, diluting things, apple juice, carrots etc... which won't kill you even if you eat 100. Hot and warm things help or just eating on time and brushing your teeth helps you preserve regular intervals...
Again it's a mind thing you have to regulate and even dominate a bit while managing the body like a sport without reaching for additives / drugs at all but the better types of food.
Hope that helps.
@RustyStriker SO CATS ARE THE PROBLEM :)
It's no wonder that with all these cats around [insert your political problem here] that this problem gets worse! #CATS !
@prehensile
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobold
kobold = a mischievous elf, or an evil spirit; a goblin (German folklore)
And more points scored to people with more readable bingo cards rather than blocking the text making it harder to read for me the reader :)
@jimblimey@oldbytes.space
I guess nobody commented on this yet here (but they did in the chat at the time)
MY NOTES
The game title is "Warlock of Firetop Mountain" - is that after the adventure game books? (goes off to answer question)
Oh yeah it is wow! 📚
from game books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlock_of_Firetop_Mountain
and this game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warlock_of_Firetop_Mountain_(video_game)
And although I wasn't cracking up so much I almost lost it when I saw -50 at the end as a score!
Ok on to the next posts (that was just the 1st for your profile!)
P.S
For the "Hall of Fame" (scoreboard) at the end- can I assume the game makers made those as default pre-set names and scores on the scoreboard?
Thanks
(if you read the scoreboard relating to this video it seems they might also have been thinking the same thing at the time!) "Five Miles Out", "Moonlight Shadow", "Lucky Man"... almost all of the names!
SOCIETY IS POLITE TO THE EXTENT OF SELF-CENSORSHIP ?
- A HIDDEN KIND OF PROBLEM SOCIETY SUFFERS
So it's polite people being so polite that goes in the self-censoring spectrum!
oK ! Nailed it for the short version!
EXTENDED / DETAILS BELOW
Hard to imagine that censorship can also be about self-censorship (!) and that's where YOU, the other person I mean or any reader, can stop conversation from happening purely by going too inward. WTF ! THAT IS STRANGE / NOT OBVIOUS !!! Especially as a message is 'fire and forget' so if I send a question or comment asking, it's hard to track who didn't answer sometimes (similar to who you lent your book too lol - it's trusting people will at least say something and I think society / my experience says people are doing this often)
SELF-AGGRESSION?
If you see someone being outwardly aggressive in your face it's easy to see (also can be complex but it's visible)
This is why I appreciate and even love aggressive people because they get their accusation out and then you can adjust the problem (which even includes identifying why people are so nervous themselves anyway with or without you being there or talking to them)
BUT this kind of INWARD politeness is also aggression to one's self it seems! (and that can make self-conflict and internally more feelings (so it's not just my fault for existing lol) it's also the impatience someone might naturally have, expectations, or lots of stuff to make people want to jump out of a window / close your message and skip it!)
THAT IS VERY INTERESTING
(SUMMARY)
I guess you see it in kids when they don't answer (though they have more reasons or fear not to and as adult surely we could say why or even say "I'm not sure why but I have feelings").
MP3 AUDIO = PATENT FREE SINCE 2017
MP3 technology became patent-free in the United States on 16 April 2017, when U.S. Patent 6,009,399 held and administered by Technicolor expired.
I remember on portables back in the day a lot of decent things were Thompson Technologies (I think) or was it Pearson or some company presumably from developing or sub-licensing were best for using with a computer as it's was playable and didn't need some locked way (like the Windows Media wmv days, the 'other' formats really were 'other' formats as MP3 was that was only supported by some devices or connection (probably those companies paid for it).
As a result, many free and open-source software projects, such as the #Fedora operating system, have decided to start shipping MP3 support by default, and users will no longer have to resort to installing unofficial packages maintained by third party software repositories for MP3 playback or encoding
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing,_ownership,_and_legislation
EXTRA INTEREST ABOUT AUDIO OR MP3:
1. Transcoding elsewhere and submit to Peertube #560
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/560
2. Upload audio file · Issue #170 · Chocobozzz/PeerTube · GitHub
@dave right, that's a key importance
so a PeerTube account would not get a notification or email (like "a user comment on your video xyz) even if comes up on the PeerTube page....
@feditips / @FediVideos could you confirm / clarify that? thanks
@dave
As far I know...
You can leave comments on PeerTube videos from Mastodon as it uses activitypub protocol
(and therefore you can comment on a video and receive replies probably if they mention you)
Seems I could be missing something but I think that's how it works.
See this for clarification what I mean: https://mas.to/@FediVideos/107298056255439148
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
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
