WHAT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE USING ALREADY NOW! :) The Fediverse! + Shop link later once you're sure...?
@flowers WHAT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE USING ALREADY NOW! :) The Fediverse! + Shop link later once you're sure.
Consider it a 'done for now'?
I see you've been on Fedi for a while, so keen to hear more why.
Summary:
█You have everything to some degree here (for example 4 picture maximum but infinite posts)
█It has follow / favourite / boost and federates already here 'out of the box' :) The other external sites things don't have that by default (more 'plugins to buy or setup)
□ Search is possible via hashtags or other search engine ways (Newer versions of Mastodon allows people to search your posts directly but you can search your own stuff for now *instantly* if not and send to people if they need a keyword not tagged). And they will contact you for more info anyway.
█Accepted by almost all browsers / fast
( more stuff I wrote below might be less for you directly but check it out as I would write to most people asking )
So "Short version / TL;DR":
Use what you have here!
All other ways need payment + a bit of tech know-how for little gain aside the shop which you said would be in future later ...
so testing here with what you have here (my arms open and showing the whole Fediverse) and then a shop (which almost has to be separate) can be a further hassle later. The whole integrated site thing may work but at the same time has reasons why it works (money / profit, less money for you).
█Here will prepare you also for later steps if you really need it instead of jumping in the deep end and causing stress, as it's quite similar to Wordpress (but without buying a Host, no setup, no ongoing payments, no SQL database etc or 3rd party things making it deliberate hassle when moving.
█Wix and a lot of free (from past review) makes you pay more as your site gets popular like a kind of bribe or ultimatum model. And last I looked wasn't the best code or editable (could mess everything).
█Anyway always fiddling a bit to always try get it right with sites, when probably you want your pictures out there to do the talking and get out to people fast... and here is in the simplest all-in-1 way
█Lots of extra considerations for another thing to log in to
█Some sites already tell me no can't let you see site or for newest browsers only and serious block people or looks like it doesn't work - I just close window sometimes and that's it!
On Fedi I think it's more simple and even trusted.
---------------------
Expanding on above...
---------------------
Now the e-commerce bit I'd have some ideas and ask others here as anyway it would be separate probably or you'd have to 'shop around' for that also!
In short despite any bells and whistles - you have Wordpress here. Paying for more may seem tempting lol but let me know either way how it is.
◘Careful of "Free" in <commercial space> as it's all planned and well designed to be Free At First (or FAF!) and then later catching you out down the line or some models according to how popular / ads and so on.
Same old.
But as you're here, try rolling with it! And even love it's simplicity and see what happens...
:)
(again I know some of this you know but anything you didn't know there or didn't it help a bit?)
Law primarily serves "capital" (perhaps profit and ownership of people and things like their assets?)...
#Law primarily serves "capital" ?
(paraphrased phrase in picture)
So for #profit and ownership of people, and our productivity like we are their assets and sub-subsidiary of them?
What do you think - Do they really care isn't it mostly money in mind and just using everything as a way to carry further re-sell the world even if it's not needed?
(perhaps "capital" meaning profit and ownership of people and their productivity were their assets and we're sub-subsidiary of them?)
Text in picture:
"20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.
The law only ever serves capital."
in response to article in The Guardian: " ‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says".
@delta Woa! 52 years and the protocol's still going! Even slight evolutions or version can still keep simplicity as original (and perhaps innocent, which is I think FTP can still avoid using passworded dirs)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol
I only use what is simple nowadays, both for simplicity and long-term defence. (+add your own via reply!)
I only use what is simple nowadays, both for simplicity and long-term defence.
(Feel free to add your own - pic or reply)
Think FTP / SSH protocols for storage-simplicity with passwords on to stop spam and choose who to share with - changing passwords often.
All this web interface stuff is getting highly gacked and actually used as attack / advertising beacons / tracking etc and switching interface one day so my browser doesn't work with it and hooking up with browser makers to enable ads and new 'features' in their newer versions.
We have it all and had it all before - we just need to stick to those things and accept the peak and balance of politics in further versions / decision-making (especially browsers now).
for example
█ Fediverse (still works)
█ FTP Upload / Download client
█ Email (with @delta easy encyption and voicemails over email - even with GoogleMail OK)
█ XMPP (30 years now)
█ IRC (or similar)
█ Text (raw if possible, not even .doc or .odt if you can to make search faster)
█ More I'll expand on one day... but you keep to what you know works best and universally forever! (like the freedom of using any client / front end of choice to upload / download)
Even open source stuff are need high level requirements and we should keep software for old tech FOREVER! Android also which I won't upgrade... it's just a tactic to buy new / upgrade for free into new business model (tracking / 'protecting' us in browser from 'bad' sites etc).
Keep what already stuck around.
@freemo If you go by estimates then 'perhaps' but often seems these "maybe's" as data are what people are deliberately given to run with more actual real hard data now (we don't see any live data and have no search to their info).
In some way we are just taking their word for it and it's called an 'estimate'. Hard for me to believe a lot nowadays.
And then further less belief / trust as dubious people themselves
maybe, I estimate...
historically :)
And about numbers (Wordwide probably now as a Weapon (as everything) for fear and some aim surely). Get people talking, fearing etc... (not saying you fear but 1 out of 10 maybe by us writing about it).
That server page you showed me about how many people inaccurately 'block' QOTO and explanation how that can be highly possible not be any useful number, further opening eyes 0_0
Your post was enlightening and final nail in coffin... for reference it was here:
https://qoto.org/@freemo/111700227504584185
I've since realised all is highly similar usage in words and in numbers (more than ever as it's domesticated and more learn how to do it like literally everything):
█ (old info, non-info, only updated once, initial estimates, Matryoska puppet data, mixed data types relabelled, blatant lies and mixing to hide/dilute everything etc).
It's like needing to dissect the method they used before running with any number (and now words) as it's used / planned more and more against people down the lines of pushers.
----------------
P.S Side topic
----------------
I think similar with 'discount prices' in supermarkets etc as they trap us with the idea of cheapness (and yellow / red stickers visually) with which really aren't discount now (one needs to pay attention to pattern which is one of the ways it works for them as people can't / don't pay attention per product to remembering price increases or have memory capacity to ever work out if deals are that much cheaper)... I once bought a brightly labelled item with repair packaging (assuming it was cheaper) and realised it's the same price.
- I'll touch on that more soon in another post probably with this pic!
@futurebird It's cultural appropriation, that's what it is!

P.S - I don't use feedback websites so please pass this on if you do and boost if interested so others will see and support.
█This a suggestion about Mastodon you're free to take for yourself / share with the makers.
█ If you want a list of all my suggestions, I'll search my side and give you all of them...
Very humans things often need Very human interactions (and Very human beings).
We already have the tech to solve this (like Audio/Video Chats). 🎤 🐟
Many things will be solved or helped by the humans stuff first and then from that the essential computer or people orientated stuff.
To be clear (and not antagonistic) it's NOT just about talking to complicated computers any more.
We have all we need (people).
Just connect to Fediverse :fediverse / :mastodon: / + Jitsi Meet 💬 )
Hoorah! No?
We need now to and spiral that out to 'develop' people... as your main job or at the same time as- but never without). Spiral out to people more, not just talk to computers.

@hypnogoria Hi wondering if you'd like to speak / advert a bit about what you love as a short (or long) soundbite on a Podcast: Your Love and Logic:
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111629539902807161
And maybe the post I'm replying to could be pinned to your profile as it says more info about what you do... good stuff. Thanks
@plexus Here in Portland we have a long-running non-profit called Free Geek (https://www.freegeek.org/) which:
accepts donations of not only cables but any electronics;
trains people to disassemble, test, and reassemble computers;
handles e-waste recycling for anything that isn't reusable;
distributes usable equipment to individuals and non-profits who need it;
and runs a little thrift store too.
It's fantastic and I would love to see more places clone the idea.
@kamin Is that comment true with Ian about the root. How easy across the board with these things?
I don't know you but I want to trust you - Luke Flegg quote
Not a bad angle for working together more charitably in this short video...
@strypey Sure definitely needs extra from other human to possibly enjoy and entertain the wonder that someone is being in the way you describe. For high levels of texters only :)
human psychology, on top of usual misconceptions, is what I see to be solved - it's natural to deal with a person from wherever they are coming from, almost genuinely mistaken like us before... (not everyone sure!)
@are0h Kinda thought there might be a tinge of that in your reply but was plenty to relate it a bit... and without of a more context (which I said at the beginning) it's kind of like expected to miss the point and maybe highlight why we seem not to be working on anything. Which is ok too.
Human interest to see car crashes:
Q. How to get the natural interest humans have for staring at "car-crash TV" into more of similar interest in opposite spectrum of "Solving the world together one thing at a time" in an equally fast and eagerly awaited way like we would load the next video to see what is happening.
@graf When would you say this started to happen or be obvious. ( Haven't seen much of anything recently, but the last 2 things I kinda got this feeling it was really REALLY obvious I couldn't deny at all)...
Wondering what other people's experience and view is as definitely some points are there often.
Oh yeah I saw something 1 year ago and that was an older clip about people impersonating him on SNL (Saturday Night Live) and stealing his personality :) So grandmas and people he would speak to said he was saying things that we're untrue and what other shows impersonating said!!!!
because they saw it on SNL and even Homeland and other TV series I don't watch. they believed it was him or true!
All this effort to attack / assassinate / defame him ... ! Or maybe I'm falling for something too,, but does seem the way for most of these types or even more truthful things to trash it...
@todayilearned
I actually do this "swishing" with toothpaste all the time.
I don't spit paste after brushing and do mouthwash swishing / jet wash time!
1hr+ is not unusual either as I watch video or keep busy "cleaning"!
Don't spit out your toothpaste! (Rinse with it a bit.)
TIL studies indicate that "oil pulling," the ancient practice of swishing a spoonful of sesame oil in the mouth for 15 min. before brushing, significantly reduces the risk of cavities and fights plaque, gingivitis and bad breath better than prescribed chlorhexidine mouthwashes.

@ABScientist Deep reply that... but I think more direct-death is inferred here as a person and less indirect "shoulders we stand on" type thing (which isn't irrelevant but deliberately not in scope here and just for fun... which I measurably assume! And can always be confirmed by OP).
What's interesting is 19 people reply to this right not so quickly and sometimes not other polls / questions at all :) What are you guys cannibals already or what? :D
I dare not vote and like the idea of finding out later so +1 for that option in the poll! UPDATE: The no vote shows me what there is voted right now, I forgot that.
@falken Who needs 3D Printed when you have lego! :)
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.

------------------------------------
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

2. The Little Prince book

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...!
