One of the fundamental forms of attack is where we use things in one way but it's used in another way AT THE SAME TIME (surveillance, restricting our freedom, monetisation etc)...
@chartier
Our acceptance and voluntarily usage of certain software and technology (industrial products) are helpful for us in a certain way, while others (manufacturers, government, business) are using it another way often against individuals if not planned for and allowed now, then by any means necessary later if it's more and more accessible to them.
(many things are developed without this future abuse in mind so good can turn bad).
This is one of the fundamental forms of attack where we use things in one way but it's used in another way for restricting our freedom at the same time. And we buy into it (imagine drones good in some way, but funding the drones for the bad more).
Even in basic or innocent stages as anything gets popular or more freedom based, the money-makers or monopoly games starts to want to get rid of it or monetise it (and us) out of practical benefit more and more heavily as we rely on anything more and more.
So even if you don't see the results now in your face from Facebook or Google Android yet, there is already threat if you are leaving them unchecked or not covering the basics in prevention of remote abuses, daily.

✊ as @julianlawson said allows us to take things into our own control via Do It Yourself methods.
Remember after introducing it cheap or accessibly, all things are possible to be flipped and used against us (tracking, cameras etc). If you play go, you understand what flipped pieces mean.
The devices (and decisions by those who regularly don't care) already can't be trusted, and these things are ALL an extension of monetised / 'regulated' (mismanaged) things again their own needs of domination first and foremost (even in the softer ways).

@wfryer Hi, ❓
few questions please:
☻ is this a grant funded thing?
☻ why AI (artificial intelligence) topic professionally and personally? (of course it's a topic like any other but why for you lead this, asked respectfully)
☻ why eventbrite? the advantages for you (it's again another why question, but honestly why not without and it's just seeing if others can help develop better things for you/us. indeed if that's possible)
☻ can we connect without zoom?
(would you consider other things? as that there is 100% better things for)
Do you feel like Fediverse really sees your posts and hears you?...
Do you feel like Fediverse really sees your posts and hears you?
Might be hard to say 100% but:
☻YES = you get do get responses and even occasionally instant reply
☻No = it's like Fediverse has still just started
☻So / So = maybe half and half
Society feeds off young people also because they don't know any better, and willing to go along with it for a bit (or a long time)...
(...which is good and bad, and not knowing is for better and for worse sometimes.)

Added note below:
--------------
Would be good and ideally the aim for everyone if adults could still wisely give space regularly to the unknown and roll with it a bit more often instead of on and off type binary acceptance and only expecting what works perfectly which is almost a false / harmful mechanism of progress since humans are "imperfect" by nature.
Whatever is the more regular solution or process NEEDS TO ACCEPT IMPERFECTION more willingly and as part of nature!
@bonifartius @roboneko Good to hear good stories of the past. More power to good landlords even... and always thought the way would be to have benevolent lords and cram more people in places a bit or something more in-house to squeeze the fun *and* work a bit a bit like migrants might do when working abroad... but towards social change (the pay less and making something happen together being a bit part this as being separate and all paying rent crushes any sort of progress I feel - maybe not down to when families had to huddle next to 1 wood stove and everyone bee quiet in that small space but paying and not sharing is also cause for concern and isolating.
And also lastly... probably :)... Mathematically I think we 'could' work the same leverage towards the other way instead of making them more paying them off but this whole paying the upper tiers literally sucks the life out of us and ends up as a few more boats or sitting in a banks somewhere.
Where's my mojito and bloody mary (not the Daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon who was Queen of England from 1553 to 1558; wife of Philip II of Spain who when she restored Roman Catholicism to England burned many Protestants at the stake as heretics (1516-1558)...
...just the cocktail I meant, made with vodka and spicy tomato juice, I've misplaced it, back on the boat probably.
May life get better.
@bonifartius @Elf Yep... honey sounds good. It's a more real and more nature-based pyramid harder to fake perhaps and more pollinating other things... I do think about asking the hives I help with to maybe leave the bees half of their own real produce rather take it all and replace it all with standard bright white sugar instead every time mixed with water...
...shrug...
And oh hi @Elf
( and funny to paste in breastmilk.club with elf's username, almost like they are using breastmilk as a currency or club itself :) now there's and idea....! )
Agree for a small piece of the puzzle and appreciate you reading that... but mainly a ton of other stuff, most of which ain't right by far... no need read at all!...
@bonifartius Agree and appreciate you reading that.
I do believe the whole pyramid downwards is a power-control thing in which, money is about holding leverage ( not losing power control respect from your population as that can mean death for rulers ).
Even given what you said it's more often people are born into luxury and can continue those things and the lower down don't really have chance or head-start (relegated to renting). It's a whole different class of life.
A sort of arbitrary increasing of rent is also not the right way by miles (yes landlord did the whole risk things with the risky bank people and maintenance thing which yes is a hassle, but they are ironically just sub-letters themselves paying for whoever owns the block / leases) so it's like a game of sub-letting within sub-letting for the same things over and over when at some point it's paid and could wait till rebuilding the place to really charge for it again!
So why all this? Keeps people working like work-a-holics as a standard template.
We are forced to need money because it all creates debt faster... and as we chase we make it worse and dig hole deeper. it's not a great game at all and children don't appreciate the crushing as time goes on. Deliberate in design as each generation let's it slip a bit more.
Really no need read.
... it's like never coming out of charging others and then state dictating who gets more per hour in the city when an agricultural person should get 1000x an hour rather than the risk takers / gamblers / meddlers / layers of dictators in other countries / career politicians / bankrupts and how many scandals out of public pocket - literally just paid in full by public to X unknown. All stinks and is related I feel but even just the land lord part is just too much.
You're right for a small amount but I don't like the whole thing of usury or uneven salaries and a whole list of blah...
Measurably 'those' people don't care, or act, or aim to solve, and just piggy back everything to death, from the governments to the partners as banks to even let things get bad, run them into the ground to buy it up cheap or force people to sell their ownership (mortgages and foreclosures).
Wonder why people have to work so hard, FOR GREED! So many rich families - could really buy out the poor outright and still have a chunk of change left (could reset and start again like some royalty did when next in power to alleviate the literal cruel pain upon people) but no the business of trafficking and extracting people this way is doing fine here and abroad probably only barely keeping the lords alive lol - so we must extract more as it's only fair on the pyramid... because there really isn't enough money or suddenly, err disappears from public pots. Oh well, back to work.
Would you be interested in using Fediverse / Mastodon currency ...
Would you be interested in using Fediverse / Mastodon currency...
perhaps by answering here it would help show support and discuss it more - yes do you want to bring about change by it's imagination and to test if it was fairly harmless?
(...would be fairly conscious thing but accepting of course never totally if it's sort of another arbitrary fakeness represention thing as a token or whatever for people and planet's existence...
but yes nearer to freedom and less valuing arbitrarily... getting nearer to people and planet as 'priceless' or no price over their heads ...
Within Fedi people maybe something...?
Short film that incorporates AI, music and live action...

█ "Magic Mushroom Fun Time' -
a short film that incorporates AI, music and live action with splits going to everyone involved."
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=CWpcnnjCM4o
----------------------------------
And few other mixed points and comments below starting with █ :
----------------------------------
█ My first AI type of video by almost accident - Is mushroom trip inspired but no main mushroom shots or lead role there.
█ Wonder how deep AI is used here and if it naively means more aesthetically using it to process transitions and the filter blends or more things like the need to use AI servers / handing over content to proprietary servers and software or API type stuff... (but I have no idea what's needed)
█ Best is learning more about "Value For Value" theory or model #v4v or #value4value as I'm into how we can involve or use each other more often...
█ Anyone clues welcome about how much AI is used here!...
█ Also wanted to ask makers if I can put clips of 'Magic Mushroom Fun Time' video clips here on the Fediverse?...

@smallcircles @ADHDefy Do you have a similar list or link to creative people or artists on Fedi? (I'm building a home-grown list)
@undefined @PixelProphecy Do you have it uploaded elsewhere?
@fuxoft Was well done right and showed perhaps what still exists today in terms of many cultural things?

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!).

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...!
