@amici
Just asking the obvious; why? (for you)
@MnemosyneSinger@kolektiva.social I think the simplest way to say it is the left wants nobody on top, the right wants to be on top themselves
Secretly I'm hoping someone somewhere is watching my posts and going to give me things to do related for them
or
relating existing things I have to themself / themselves.
Otherwise I'm Doooooomed.
Capital D.
I really don't see anything else out there or me even being able to work in 'normal' every again!

@gsuberland @Retrograde So how did it happen / is it not possible to have it safer?
For my FYI - Arrhythmia = abnormal rate of muscle contractions in the heart
@Retrograde Cool to see inside - and isn't it very safe or can't be made safer?
@dosnostalgic Reminds me of Mario Kart's Rainbow road track for the rainbow coloured path and falling off side.

#Mastodon #suggestion - Showing level of interaction in Bio ...
#Mastodon #suggestion
Showing level of interaction in Bio
or
Add to bio an interaction level.
A way showing on Bio people's *intended interaction* with anything simple like:
- checkbox tick
- Out of 10 rating (10 being friendly)
- a colour bar etc...
anything simple!
Of course people can write this in their bio but they don't and this would encourage thought about it during bio setup. It's also a by-design encouragement or saving time thing (even if not obvious at first).
I'm also half and half about adding a design but something to solve it (even if it's the same but helps people write "one way only")
or
"Just so you know I write a lot but don't intend to reply"
(and this isn't a snarky comment ! to anyone - Just more clarity here as people have to write back their fans or ignore them anyway so a signal in Bio saves them us typing when there is 0 chance of reply
"This account is 1-way only" etc which is fine but just tell us first / save us time !
@robryk Hey I've got a spotlight that needs that but don't have one. Is there any way to make my own bulb inside electrical things like this, table lamps etc?
@hesgen Dislike when Wiki doesn't say how they died...
@garyackerman hehe why? wouldn't it seem about right your thoughts or principles were similar that they would fit in nicer and already be aligned with how you do / say things?
(also let me know if you answer these kinds of comments willingly as it's not clear from your bio (I think it should be if you are not as willing to answer the many)
Also 'just saying' because you have a few good ones (or many) but I don't mind asking others instead and skipping yours if really it's not about this style online for you. Thanks (and don't forget the audio!)
@GustavinoBevilacqua Just checking: Was this reply for this post? ....
I didn't mean it in the way you replied :)
One half of life = learning, other half = deleting it / clearing the debris...
One half of life Learning and accumulating, then then other half of life trying to do practically something with it or even delete it / clearing the debris *without sympathy*...
It's practically and psychologically entangled / hard.
e.g. disks full, but glad I haven't bought another harddisk and still lowtech since I'd only do the same and fill those up too!)
Life is a type of War... With lots of mini-wars...
I think life has elements of war inside challenges we all face and perseverance we need as the other half of that.
So physical war by people but also the other half being the will power in other ways to battle mind or agree within those that don't want war of that kind (could be armed but for example self-defence only).
War but also More self-Justice to help balance war and even avoid the day-to-day war. That might be beter Justice?
So that this is a kind of war struggle we're in even if not immediately directly now it's happened and happening to us from even before World War 1 2 3?
Naturally living as a colony on a planet we will war but have tech, which I think came from funding war itself, but at least from this branch can communicate and cobble something together to solve the roots providing to us badly (biting hand that feeds us and going down with better result at least).
***Have to war of some kind ** as part of puzzling natural (eating animals but yes less, chopping trees but yes less, landscaping, hugeculture, permaculture making it less but can't say without anything bad, even to accept those that like doing it and with love over time coerce them)
Many more things including the psychology..... ultimately choosing less harmful way(s), less suffernig or sharing it together, more harmonious type of 'progress' and learning to live with loss (even less kids or allowing adults to kill themselves more softly)...
Trusting a few and doing it in nicer ways probably.... not the direct choice of war even hating me or others online...
The tempting exchange is looking at negatives, but weaving positives is needed perhaps more (unless you're good at neutrally making positives from negatives)
The mind is what I recommend working on but that's hard too and very taxing on the brain!
Right?
How to stop body war / physical material versus the mind... (so both, but less physical / material damage in exchange including the middle-man attacks)
Slowly the mind and then everything else. But NEARLY-NOBODY wants to do this! Or very very little. Else they would reply :)
More Justice is really just us. And doing that more and more with others in mutual ways.

"The Science of Happiness" / "Way of Happiness"...
"The Science of Happiness" -
which does sound a bit dubious but I think re-phrasing and can be rewarding as better re-worded meaning.
so more neutrally said:
"The science and efforts of working together towards being more happy and making that a 'Science' we base things from"
(not just physical matter of science and physical happiness to the measurement of how happy we are).
So one can make it sound less like the "Church" of Happiness or The "Science" of Happiness and maybe best = "Way" of Happiness
Even words like "Spiritual" might take it too far (even worse when capital letter perhaps written "spiritual" vs "Spiritual") for people to offend or misguide themselves less.. BUT take it down a notch or 10 notches to be more accurate
And I mean about the "Science" part or sciences... I want things *Not only* physically focussed by Science or ALL people's actions in life (mostly by-design not caring about soul at all today) so the rest of the human body you could say (the mind / moral health and eventually yes spirit of people or better way of being happy from those up top not being nice!)
Obviously a science would exist for that so easily if at all, as it's counter-intuitive to power / money accumulation etc!
Tech = Power
Spirit = more Happiness / Togetherness eventually?
Your country needs you to keep paying and playing war games
Everything I think is used in favour of those who control / allow it...
so why not online #war ... "games"?
(games as "just another category" of what they do i.e. "business-as-usual" from people)
Picture = "Your country needs you to keep paying and playing war games" #war games
If war games are pumped full of money, then it's likely to be used unwisely and against us or just a waste of time too (Hollywood production consuming our time even if it's free):
█ How deep can always be questioned if "Call of Duty Is a Government Psyop..." but no doubt they wouldn't let things pass if it wasn't doing more exactly what they want with making money and politics of remaining in power... using people's time up in bad ways... (like gambling on highstreets now everywhere)... never fixing up towards real happiness...
Everything I believe is used in favour of those who control it... so why not online games?
Games also reflects the reality in:
#politics #economics #war #finance #business #power #fascism #kids #online #abuse
Classic war games turned into everyday smaller war games...
There's a more classic meaning to war and that is easy to see, but it could be transmitted in everything (imagine you have bad parents that could manipulate everything even if it seemed ok)
war...fighting...life... is quite natural but perhaps now more moving into the mind and fighting there FIRST!
Even the good people I've tested their limits so I know it's not easy (and family forget it! Or make plans and move on)
Life yes can be defined as fighting somewhat and where it goes wrong where physically some use to define themselves (as bullies and they know it!)
and it even by how much your or others allow you to live under them (especially without care in every step or seeing near 0 transparently)
so...
fighting = war (including softer types if you're a professional bastard or just governments want total control right, can't let it slip otherwise all will expose that gap)
Soft-war exist and it's just soft on our side, money etc still is there being pumped... but it takes more to see / feel playing online games..
People can't see that as it's a longer chain of finance or war.
Some that are uncomfortable with war but ok playing it for hours.
It's confusing perhaps but all 1 reality I feel (and more than ever just 1 person doing the bad work or owning everything and send commands like it was a game to them!).
The moral battles is with you playing these games
Are you playing too many games avoiding the real games to be solved... (in the mind first...?)

@yogthos Yeah I'm with you there for indie games although scarily also very many I'm seeing now and almost having to ignore!! I've played the most basic helicopter or plane game a lot... but at least there are 'pick up and put down' keyboard things...
Also wanted to mention a bit of a judgement about #indie #games
that:
seriously seems people in this area of #indie on Fediverse (and like many things in life) don't know how to advertise themselves or get involved with non-dev / fan type people.. just it's hard for me even to gauge but if "communication" as a whole on Fediverse is my own experience it's got MUCH better but still people don't want to really talk about anything with fans... kinda feel that way (am reviewing it but before a month I felt like we couldn't hold a piece of strong together as the ongoing communication that is life, warts and all!)
It's getting better but an advertising machine for Fedi is needed in the good ways that advertises people if not people self-advertising like for my podcast (I've asked 10's of people to do sound bites / bytes and well a few takes but could be all of them!).
For example, feel free imagine yourself doing same, to advertise your things, likes or love in 1min audio clip on 'Your Love & Logic' podcast:
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...!
