Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site (random reading)...
Not that important to me but really surprising how much Dutch influence and involvement everywhere.
Anyway theses sentences struck me as surprising....
" Wall Street was originally known in Dutch as "de Waalstraat" when it was part of New Amsterdam in the 17th century, though the origins of the name vary...
" Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site "
Non-programmers... What to do with people over the internet who are not programmers?
or not-so-high level in IT?
Seems as a society we maybe don't have answer and need more unnecessary bullshit jobs like digging roads as there isn't anything else it seems for lower tier mindful people (apart from maybe argue or educate etc and then die out since jobs don't support freedom!)
(I'm sticking my neck out here a bit- but I'm still positive in asking a hard question. Happy if I am given ANY ideas how to help use the potential in everyone without having to be sniper or mercenary level) more in the online sense.
Plenty to do something seems missing...
Great external pics of you, Makes a real difference from 1st person.
1st + 3rd pic is worthy of desktop wallpaper (for detail and for deep abyss look)
Postcards and business cards might also be cool just for a small run and dedicated compliment to those that like it (like a specific birthday card) when you know someone will get wowed by it and spend them wisely rather than big mass of card to start a fire with :) (I'm not sure how ecological it is for big batches but few personalised things maybe ok)
:) I enjoyed
Video Feedback Wanted / Opinions for Chess video training
Have a look, you can skip almost all of it - just 2mins is enough as it's mostly the same (explaining of chess moves with the theory of why / how...)
https://video.qoto.org/accounts/freeschool
If it's terrible or can be done better you could save me the effort by telling me before I upload any more so I can switch to a better way.
The whole idea is to show chess games like a parallel to the techniques used to fork us in life!
And how to get out of tough situations too are shown....
I also will offer personal coaching for free soon, so if you want to try the training let me know....
Difference exist between what is right, and harmonising what is right. The kind of similar differences similar between anolog and digital...
Analog (electronics)
Of a circuit or device in which the value of a data item is represented by a continuously variable physical quantity rather than digitally
"analog device"
Digital (electronics)
Of a circuit or device that represents magnitudes in discrete units of a physical quantity, as compared to using an analogue system
"digital computer"
"Man is not our Enemy" - a hard phrase to accept
"Breathe in, smile out"
I keep gently returning to in the course of a day and it gives an enormous sense of calm.
From page: "Thich Nhat Hanh has died"
"Man is not our Enemy" - a hard phrase to accept
Thich Nhat Hanh composed the phrase “Man is not our Enemy” in his 1966 letter to Dr King entitled “In Search of the Enemy of Man”...
“Our enemies are not man”, he wrote, but “intolerance, fanaticism, dictatorship, cupidity, hatred and discrimination which lie within the heart of man. I believe with all my being that the struggle for equality and freedom you lead in Birmingham, Alabama… is not aimed at the whites but only at intolerance, hatred and discrimination. These are real enemies of man — not man himself.
In our unfortunate fatherland we are trying to yield desperately: do not kill man, even in man’s name. Please kill the real enemies of man which are present everywhere, in our very hearts and minds. ”
The above is tough to swallow like how eliminating things can seem right (including people) but a fine-tuning of this means a deeper look at what and where things comes from which is a might longer fix... some would say arguably right to 'kill' in certain ways especially if those people know what they do the same way as they know what we do and try to kill us or make us pay for our peace perpetuating our prison.
A fine-tuning which I will think about.
Rest in peace Thich Nhat Hanh and let us find how to rid / heal ourselves of things in life while still almost paradoxically practising certain rules for which there maybe is only rarely exception but mostly not.
"Peace comes from the Hard Work of thinking"...
Easy to say but the main point is not hard work as in physical labour but the mental contribution and 'leg-work' before and during everything.
Exhausting... but still the eventual gold we need to share.
It's hard to say "Peace comes from Hard Work" if you're already quite inside privileged conditions and literally have gold already but this is more about the mind work together rich or poor... and measurable quality of thinking.
The hard work is still there in poverty and privilege if thinking is not done by one's self and with others in whatever way possible...
To communicate in a way that builds or even imagines something more than the hole money leaves behind (extraction) and cheapens every day (banking)...
To at least re-imagine it in your mind every day... what can I do.... to keep rebuilding that in your mind even if your working hard in the physical industrial sense... still thinking how to drop seeds of healthy wherever you go, whatever you do....
It's going to take all of us to find real balance... get in touch if you need help and even if you don't (because that thinking work is still there to do...)
You have most of the answers inside but sometimes it takes for someone to ask you out loud and ask you to do the math before you really believe it yourself !...
...Inversely, if someone tells you the wrong advice that can still be good because it shows you which way not to go and what really needs to be done!
Life is quite great like that. Get in touch with people! Make it happen either way using all the advice!
Idiots and bad things happening often are also a reflection of your not doing things in the right way...
...or doing the same things that have very limited effect and limited spread, and are just repetition more than growing sense or good people.
Advice here is available freely - you might feel better to pay for advice a stranger just might do it for you!
When shit gets serious and people have to stand, people start running away (it's natural but needs training)...
As a boxer you know how to
- hold your guard
- weather any storms
- and then do something about it
(not just defensive ball mode in your shell forever)
(keep your eye for opportunity to do something in life)
This is the same in active conversations - I'm not here to hurt you, many also are not but as part of conversation / being human you will feel hurt / accidents happen / misleading words etc. This is also partly because language isn't perfect so knowing that and the other confusions are normal / natural / part of the whole ping pong to balance it not run so much. Hold your ground.
If you want to train how to hold your ground then let me know
and we can simply practice
and let any relativity come out at the same time.

Forge federation: How forge friends want to liberate your code
Forge Federation Webinar
WED 19TH JAN - 10am UTC+1
What if you could easily collaborate with any free software project, no matter where it is hosted?
This is the objective and vision that the forgefriends community is working hard to realize.
Using the Fediverse and open standards such as ActivityPub and DVCS they will enable free software development to liberate itself from centralized platforms that lock projects in with their network effects and FOMO.
Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session where you can ask the presenter how you can jump in.
No installation or registration is required. The webinar uses a Jitsi room open to all
https://meet.jit.si//ForgeFederationWebinar
Presentations and Q&A session will be in English, with interpreters made available for participants who feel more comfortable speaking French or Chinese. We ask all participants to adhere to the forgefriends Code of Conduct 1.
Anyone is highly encouraged to contribute and become a forge friend too.

2nd / 3rd down are essential...
(you probably know 2nd)
...but 3rd is less known but equally an ace ... with the audio track theme "DATA" in the chorus will have you singing for days!
Recommended, Real and Educational!
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...!
