Increasing personal contact for me is the way... not saying no tech but to keep a lid on it and going for the people upgrades instead...
Reducing or maintaining tech and doing the people thing. Because I for longevity and practice it's the people thing and I feel tech above a certain level of tech (like having Mastodon recently is quite enough) actually programming more can be hogging time and our squirrelling of perhaps is just not maintainable later or further attacked anyway.
So if now Mastodon is taken to be enough to develop and make contact with each other and then Jitsi Meet for audio/video, The we have more perfect relationships and sense of comfort with each other.
What else do we want / need? (and yes some of us will still do more stuff so don't worry just take foot of the gas a bit and head for the people)
When we have text and audio chats UNITED I think we can be united ourselves and quite formidable BUT again we just have to practise weekly talking more often... about everything and everything will slowly get better (more practised people).
IF THERE IS SOMEWHERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LET'S MAKE A LIST WHILE GOOD POOL OF PEOPLE ARE HERE -
GO EARLY FOR THESE THINGS
Complaining about BigTech also advertises their name over and over... we can inadvertantly help advertise and spread bad news that they want spreading if it's true "Any news is good news" for bigtech......
So yes BigTech is doing bad but at the same time remember not to advertise their name too much like a reproduction speaker / copycat tannoy system!
It's a hard balance but perhaps I mean not being stuck in complaining mode and trying to find a positive way or completely different route without them....
We do feel things close to us so I get the knee-jerking feeling but I feel we have to move on to do our own things and even copy what they do but more in our own field of usage and safely, more for us than them.
Think speaking about things on a subliminal type of level when you're shouting out the oppressors name continually, and if it begins with G...F...A (or the other A) then consider not using them AT ALL or somehow not in a blaming / powerless way! We need to do xyz
(I think this sound right but I'm considering I might to improve this solution not to act as lower than them etc)
Because complaining includes a % of advertising or spreading that is why I suggest double-checking it
(especially if they want that as advertising and release bad news to increase awareness for products or before new releases so everybody hears about it)
Overall it's time for solutions to be promoted (your own included) and for those to be in the foreground and just using that...
and leaving those brand names behind!
*Go*All*Fantastic*Alternatives!
I love people who can explain things consistently regardless of their background or current topic...
What worse than someone that has bias is the mainstream bully industry and businesses attached that will never do anything to follow or lead their own rubbish and will never accept anything other than their own 'measurements' and values...
...so on that basis I like this Bitcoin commentary episode below as they are much more intent to answer and debate and much more responsive to questions than the government pretending in parliament for example... these are actual people (as opposed to sleepy old I-don't-understand people)... we want people who know much more, can explain it until the death calmly without authority complexes... so whatever you think about this link or whatever *just please* not having lying monsters and business tactics sucking out energy via money and I'm happy to say FUCK BITCOIN! Just take the suffering and taxing off being alive to feed the rich or wasteful system... and bring back something more reliable (even if it wastes in other ways). Preserving the truth or value rates very highly which ever way you look at it (and I'm not asking you to look at it more than accept these existing bad people are just legal robbers and never accept they were or are wrong-doers time and time over)
In this episode Wikipedia / Wikipedia / Mozilla is said to be used as influencers to reject new payment ways (even though they were accepting donations with it before) and also by people that might not understand much (similar to 'our' politicians) who might have a bit more credibility because we know politicians don't.
So I admit even the most biased Bitcoin stuff seems a lot more down to earth than the existing cheating stealing banks and governments working together - THAT IS 100% NOT THE WAY!

Banks are political (pick and choose) who they loan out money to... % catch up / increase stress!...
Banks are political (pick and choose) who they loan out money to (picture hints to that).
It more about re-enforcing existing profitable practises I think than helping people... and while they may have reasons to check (I'm being generous to them) I don't think they would even try a bit to try speculate something nice for people (they still collect I think if business fails which about 50% do in 1st two years)
This is a vicious cycle for what they don't fund... (because effectively they kill those idea or do not giving life to those people or things - even though I believe in the long term 0 debt is the way and giving people debt is never really any solution... or never equalises, merely passes on higher % on the bad tangent of 'money# they started doing in a faulting way of life and basis for man-made virtual numbers for living (and of course fiddling the books or agreeing with job makers ho to get the maximum output from everyone)... so this tangent of money is growing negatives numbers AT THE SAME TIME as loaning money... so even if the origins of money existed and were pure, the banks 'service' of chargnig % means there is still MUCH MORE DEBT IN TOTAL accumulated with time and masses of people)...
So this is bad equation we are in now where not giving money = death and giving money also = death / more debt in total practically unpayable (you die for your work and still keep paying endless unlimited % yourself OR the government's borrowing and charge %'s to your people forcing them to stay busy and not solve the real things in life and to enable them to make/pay for their own bad DisneyLand which we're just now realising on a daily basis we have to go more from scratch with defective by design tool (including money!)
%'s catch up and increase stress / suffering!... therefore death (over longer period of time and less easy to see the dead body or starvation from siphoning people's blood via %'s.... drip drip)

Lyrics... (take a few times to get it)
"long division is a timely process,
subtract thought the shadows and darkness
multiply your movements to shine,
add all your thoughts
to equal sublime"
"one connected collective consciousness..."
Not saying it's perfect but it sends some clear direction with maths and consciousness merged.
Mastodon Home Timeline... diminishing returns, cutting down, re-focussing relativity...
Checking my home timeline :(
I find very little interested me or was ok so-so but more a case of diminishing returns for eye-ball and scrolling it all. Not terrible but hmmm.
Maybe cutting down on mass...
Also a reflection of my own choices perhaps...
Easy to say 'No more' checking home... but anyway... more personal contact and sessions for the way...
What is responsive or 'interesting' in the now is probably a high probability is I am thinking relativity will solve more things between people or educate them.
What do think about your own Timeline. Can see a few people started again but changing the Home might be good (if I can really see the good for myself in posts in future).
📢 Exit relay operators, we need you to upgrade to Tor 0.4.7.7 as soon as possible! This is the first stable Tor release with support for congestion control, which will result in significant performance improvements for users. Upgrade to 0.4.7.7 now.
#BOFH excuse #60:
system has been recalled
Anti-abortion legislation isn't just anti-woman (but oh boy is it anti-woman), it's also anti-child.
Nobody wants an abortion, but when someone has one, they do it because they feel like they are not able to care for a child. With abortion being illegal, people will be forced to have a child that they didn't want... So this means more children having bitter parents, or living in poverty, or living with whatever other conditions that would lead someone to want an abortion.
Language is not a tool used for ordering people around...
[oh wait..]
Let me rephrase that...
My idea of language is that it's not only for ordering people around
Ideally it's used to get everyone what they want or harmonising which is possible I think if we can improve a few things about how we use language itself! (i.e. not just ordering people around)
I'm looking for tips... how to solve this human equation: when other people they ask questions they either expect short answers or can't handle long answers <------ WTF HELP ME!
I'm looking for tips... how to solve this human equation:
I don't claim to write this perfect... but this is also the problem...
people are not expected to write perfectly are they?
- my problem from that is:
people often don't want to learn longer / harder stuff
- perhaps that isn't true but I determine the above by how many avenues it goes wrong when you have
more volume of text or add more depth....
- it's like a chess engine but people's brain on the lowest setting (not even middle)
So more definition to what they are ASKING AND THEY CARE ABOUT but brain conks out when you try present almost anything
either their language usage is different, their expectation in your answer... it's as if there is not exploration needed, that everyone speak a common language and style....
I HAVE TO SAY (NOT TO THOSE I'VE SPOKE TO BUT MAYBE GENERALLY THIS IS MY 'WHAT THE FUCK MOMENT!' (Meaning I'm stuck and holy moly it's perplexing and ilogical, it's not big anger)
So when other people they ask questions they either expect short answers or can't handle long answers <-------------this is it
When did anyone learn all the time from only short answer to what measurably is always more complicated in answering that asking!
It's not the same for everybody but basically they expect to understand something new without using the brain too much or it's like a generation (civilisation) where any working out (like maths) and any heating up of brain involves blaming me!!!
This comment above is also a reflection of the person who can't read into it. And doesn't help they don't mention or use logic) to say WHAT PART or how...
It's such a bad game I always don't blame people for going nuts! It's like the worst crazy where people seem sane but their backwards!
I hope I eat my words here, it would be easier than a long life of backwards progress or 2 steps forward 5 steps back
- abandoning
- funnelling emotion
- finding person issues (with me and/or themself).
- just anything to avoid doing their homework (and usually it's their stuff or our stuff so it's not just selfish me here)
That's the 'short' version for what is fuuuucked up! Welcome writing your experience, even if it's slightly different to above or if you're not sure how to answer (I will assume this is not easy both in my saying or answering!).
Some might call it TLDR syndrome or being over-protective with strangers, but even with people I'm been friends with long time, seems common with everyone
people say they are stupid and I admit people may have black holes but almost an unsaid total lack of responsibility is when they don't want to talk more after just startin(!)or like they have very small brains and feel like "oh why the person has to tell me about the worlds troubles even though yeah I'm part of it"!...
(they are nice but also seems weird stranger or nto)
... bizarre
I might add moer to this but let me know and give it your best shot (but don't kill yourself or me over it!!!!)
:p

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...!
