Jitsi Chat (Audio / Video) now has Breakout rooms !...
#Jitsi Meet News Reminder:
Jitsi Chat (Audio / Video) now has Breakout rooms !
Test here (or change the end part of link to any chatroom name!)
https://meet.jit.si/chataboutit
Zoom had MAJOR advantage in this for ages to allow small groups to branch off and come back.
For those that have done T-Group meetings or anything with 10+ people, a breakout room is for groups to go off and then come back after specific smaller chat circles or just more manageable smaller sharing circles and sharing experience.
Groups can be recalled into main room where host speaks again to everyone before maybe the next round...
Anyway also check out T-Group meetings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-group_(social_psychology) and happy to say more.
Jitsi Meet + T-Group meetings
= Social Power / Power of Minds / Whatever you want
People don't need enormous cars; they need respect... - Donella Meadows
People don't need enormous cars; they need respect.
- Donella Meadows
My kind of quote... hard for people understand or they forget when buying *anything* to really check themselves/actions habits.
Donella Meadows, the lead author of the LTG report:
"People don't need enormous cars; they need respect. They don't need closetsful of clothes; they need to feel attractive and they need excitement, variety, and beauty. People need identity, community, challenge, acknowledgement, love, joy. To try to fill these needs with material things is to set up an unquenchable appetite for false solutions to real and never-satisfied problems."
@workingclasshistory @ReservoirPup I like that there are these bits if history to refer to, learn from...

@fuggy Where's the wiki for his name and life?
I'm offline mostly so hope some can save me looking :)

@neil This seems the crux of what needs sorting
Not even sure how to phrase it but I do know that functional communication (functioning for business or just to get what you want) has been trained or more tempting to corner... perhaps to avoid rejection or not lower ones self. Both maintain superiority in some way or don't lose face by talking and feeling too much those ways mentioned being lesser of two evils inside the successful category of trapping people/coercion/manipulation/being unclear.
From perhaps a lifetime of asking myself does seem to have logic, though ONLY because people can endlessly talk about your request, be too invasive, go too deep etc.. and add that with paranoid-inducing emails, self-doubt, etc can end up worse than just coming out with it when you know someone doesn't have much choice or time for the extra stuff..(which does includes discounting consent! Doh!). Also it is longer and more involved naturally so I guess this keeps distance in some way too.
So comments welcome what to call it.. "manners" could be one but probably shameful for people to "ask" and even desperation comes through from lack of practice, workaholism (ordering people), lack of leaving open time etc etc!
@slothrop The internet needs to be dumb again. I remember when double click before they were bought by Google got caught tracking people across multiple sites and it was a huge scandal for about two weeks. Internet advertising was a billion dollar industry before ad exchanges. There is no reason we can't go back to that, and it will have the added benefit of making local news a viable business model again.
@Wintermute_BBS @f4grx
Maybe the bus scene also encouraged (also from lack of other ways) people to meet up or discover new things as well as the noticeboard or data store type usage.
If it would encourage the people things some how (I know this is somewhat off topic but also touches on origin of bbs maybe) then I could see that as a clean and deliberately minimal thing which everything else kinda evolved from as over-sterioded verso peraphs... anyway.. just an interesting topic for me and maybe towards people getting together or rediscovering things without all the bloat and tech death all the while for so little interaction...
@Wintermute_BBS @f4grx Hi basic question and just to see what you think...What would be the modern use for something like this or what would you hope for / imagine ?
Handheld Windows...What is this?
Interesting. Probably many around by now and even back in the day but completely missed this if it's a scene in itself (I reember tiny windows or core xp type things, cd bootable etc)
I can give you a solitaire type game for it I totally recommend called Same Game ...best with mouse... does this have mouse / USB ports?
I did a post on Same Game here and refer to is as emotional tetris because emotions are needed to be sorted for everything:

MASTODON POLLS... public results / more social relativity and interaction....
@krosylight I was thinking more like for:
- working on things as indicated and as grp / splitting
- testing people's motivation for things
- getting feedback / what people liked most
- holding meetings...
- and arranging where to eat after meetings!
@empiricism heard good things about antenna so giving it a try... :)
MASTODON POLLS... public results / more social relativity and interaction....
@krosylight
MASTODON POLLS I had an idea that voters could allow name to be shown in options if wanted so there could be results I. E for hooking up with those that voted the same way or make further communication as a groupable DM message temporarily like temp. mailing list or update ..basically for real tangible socialising en mass from connected poll ...like going to same conference and finding relativity but more focused. .also for jobs / tasks or many other things... crushing capitalism by loving what we do between ourselves more often and I incrementimg it all...♡♧♤♢
Climate Change / System Change ? ... Protest or Personal Change ?
@gretathunberg Climate Change / System Change ? ... Protest or Personal Change ?
Hello, appreciate the efforts sincerely... and just for some contrast and idea for a different way to see change (as well as asking / protesting) I think simple types of advice or ideas for your followers would also end up saving planet and save big energy even 5 minutes after your posting something I mention or anything useful practical you think of people can do for them self without big noise.
What I do myself and see as effort is mainly the *changing of habits* to save climate... including what I do and don't do *every day* or to less extremes test things out... which modern day has trained and conditioned us into thinking it's ok... "normal".
So perhaps you all can try apply this if you buy / shop / carry home toilet paper to use a rag or t-shirt piece and use less washing machines for clothes (yes they machines wash perfect but at a BIG cost of matrrials, industry of it all, the chemical powder, repairs etc)...
The point is people's mind at the end of the day (maybe yours too) which need to be aligned a bit more personally with what they/you do *each day*... I think not to aim for a too clean or almost a fascist kind of perfection or expectations we can have everything 'white'. All your clothes look super clean btw :) ok small joke to the activists...but modern day has trained / conditioned us into thinking it's ok to kill 99% of bacteria or bleach everything steralise / not tolerate stains etc.
So while I don't want to attack (and I take back the mini-judgement above) this is all very personal politics so ask yourself if you're prepared to change toilet paper for washable cloth and handwash clothes...a bit more often? If not you have the answer perhaps why people don't change or find it hard to step down from luxuries of false super-machines / materials.
Basically fixing people's image of "it's ok" can actually demand less power at coal power station, less hot water and just get people to try cold / warm water and a bucket a few times in between super-washes...and be done with people thinking it's full time protest that's needed or "all or nothing" ways. These ways are also needed for this type of change.
More silent thoughts and actions are also deadly and effective. No need disturb / announce to wrong people.
You have power to influence in this way also and my suggestion is to use it for people who can apply it today as changing habits / changing planet. ♡

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...!
