Independent Media - Magus Elgar Animated Episode: "Lizard Cheeks..."
I don't endorse over-consumption or over-watching (even if it's free and independent) BUT AS AN EXAMPLE if you like short animated clips which are nice clever wholesome fun INSTEAD OF Hollywood then see this... it's child friendly too....
ignore some of the logos at the end - it's a work in progress I guess towards getting eye-balls some other way... which you can help by BOOSTING!

I challenge all sciences WHEN all things inside it (or it's people representing things) count some things *IN* and by doing so count OUT other things at the same time... AND I HOPE I REGRET THIS / FIND YOUR REASONING!.... :)
I challenge all sciences WHEN all things inside it and it's way of doing things (or it's people representing those things) count some things IN and by doing so actually count things *OUT* other *at the same time*...
Somewhat selective calculating perhaps without realising or caring. So while it can seem without bias or not important it would be similar to being inconsiderate or like talking to robots that only understand it's own field.
Without a kind of allowance around everything to assume it's more than we see it can be a type of fascism... Oh boy... Ok so maybe not fascism but absolutist view looking upon things without space for things other than a number attributed to it.
My ideal is sapience and understanding in people more people in counting mode all the time- more the consideration and life-dynamics (this term I could probably improve) as a debated definition (which at the end I come back to planet always and keeping people alive).
So the above is important to humans (for machines it's also similar as parts of their lifecycle but as example human needs more considerations, which are very much like for machines like the greasing of wheels regularly which can't be missed out in equations but harder to calculate, but many more things like that unseen, unfelt by others but still greasing of wheels for humans and feelings)
So to even assume to be so absolute in things which are not absolute or even changing start and attribute (such as people themselves as individuals or attributes of things) I feel is a MAJOR over-sight and that I'm undefeatable in this! (but how some reasoning can test it)... so I can accept some part of sciences but all comes back to bite itself (and humans) if not respected enough it's limitations.
Again to emphasise I can accept use-cases etc, but too often it's almost an unsaid and faux-pas to only count some things but not others. So when x has many more attributes and functions, it fails to respect things which are REALLY important to humans! (but perhaps not important for equation-makers / matrix grid / columns and rows of numebers).
It might seem over-dramatising it and yes I am looking for a bit of a fight... but if you consider these kinds of equations miss out many humanistic factors and uniquely valued things (which are also subject to different people's OWN logic), then it might not be surprising all these 'logic' equation have missed out in MANY equations this factor by trying to rope in everything which to be honest they can't...
can they?
And maybe they don't claim to do that but seems standardising it and many techniques everywhere does assume that.
Teaching kids to count mainly and not consider people is perhaps why it's so well-taught, almost showing from schools what certain people (Governments) want to be included and what they don't- it's subtle isn't it... or if see it clearly it's really clear! DON'T TEACH PEOPLE THOSE THINGS LIKE ASKING PEOPLE AND CARING!)
This doesn't become a problem until you realise it all adds up.
Maths,,, all innocent of course. Hmmm very small cases and overall inside other living things kinds of infinitely debatable perhaps an an onion skin inside another...
So on a scientific level saying "x is not only x but has other attributes" means a lot is not counted in this equation and if we are not measuring (respecting) then we are creating trouble or leaving left-overs / cut-out values at the same time 'solving' them. What doesn't count human things seems certainly erroneous
and important to quote me is saying:
"Humans are not perfect and subject to change!"
"What stays static in that measurement is almost surely wrong...." unless there is really lots of other things to ask/measure from people and even then they might just say "I might not feel like it!" and it would need to be too real-time that actually people would be the one's who should be doing this as they manage consent too at the same time (machines and maths not having this function really or poor replacement and would have to ask almost everything which is why human mediation is best even if it's not perfect).
We did get lost in thinking perfection is possible or that it's better ... and while it may give fruits still the acceptance of less-than-perfect wonderful humans are my preference / priority here.
Distraction below / money stuff but above is the main.
So as one distractinary self-answer, on some simplified level quickly, it's just about asking the person / people what they think... not just trying to standardise people or opinions into numbers and stats etc... which obviously can't cover it...
and it needs far more intellect which is why the matrix way is dominating as it 'seems' so easy or for people to profit, measure etc.
As a funny counter point to myself... something more than a measuring tape to measure wood is about the best use-care for real / most basic measurement!
And by the way how much is your child worth ? Or if you don't have kids, how much is your mum worth? (goes into money but example shows some things are not about numbers or the planet is somewhat unpriceble or priceless and a mistake to change/value into money or even numbers beyond certain reasons like for keeping people alive more honestly / directly)
Corporations I imagine are like converters of energy, regulated by Government - just bucking as much as possible,..
They see how much they can get from people / population of peasants before doing anything. This logic is bad according to me.
I imagine them as taking a buckets load of planetary stuff and trying to convert it all into cash. (feel free to draw that!)
Or someone at a pawnshop asking the shop-keeper how much they would get from cashing in Earth itself.
And all this while government moves the chairs of incentives and mentality itself to suit it's next goal or dissatisfactions.
P.S
I realise about the paradox of my existence without them etc etc but it's not the right way in many ways so no arguments on whether I should live it's MORE ABOUT the method and way people and Earth are treated!
For those not really happy with above no worries - I'm not encouraging full-serious argument of it either. Just remember it is possible to 'create' things and people based on faulty calculation, arbitrary meaningless values or faulty exchanges... arguably that's more than half of the game of what we're in!
CONVERSATION SUMMARY POINTS + FAST ANSWERS
SHORT VERSION
[MORE INCOMPLETE VERSION]
1- The questionable nature of others doing ' business ' (a form of extraction method and a extension of gov itself !)
2- Measurably showing reality clearly, how? - e.g. 1 picture to show how they are doing it deliberately and allowing it to exist to feed from faults in design / profit from it.
3- Solutions. I'm happy to get together for a chat about it and with others. Moderation is a great thing. Try it!
LONGER ANSWERS / EXPANSION
1- The questionable nature of others... as humans are BOTH nice side in extraction and evil... the determining factors are who does this and why is it being done... [for profit siphoning or preserving human life directly]
Extraction is perhaps called ' business ' (a form of extraction and an extension of gov itself !)
Extraction + Government = Bad and mostly ignorant! Root of all evil roots! Can't trust them. Also can't trust people but in happier expressive environment can be much less damage or gang behaviour / working with nature as main environment not concrete cold financial districts.
2- Unless people pre-agree above point (about government being bad / siphoning / cheating etc) then we can't really stand together... pictures help show this as perhaps a personal measure rather than their 'funny-skewed' stats... to see their actions and positions (because they are tricking/raping us financially which is our blood/sweat/tears,)
And then also comes the work in balancing ourself [not working only in number formats / machanical thinking etc but nature of people as always an X themself we can try understand but always know we don't have 100% the x and allowing people their personalities back!]).
The premise is most people are not bad and I think this is measurable too!
The tearing point between people is when it seems like you vs. me or only left or right turns (ultimatums given by people or systems which we can recreate as in reality there is more though food production is relative to allowing this so a bit of that is needed to relieve tensions)
Acronyms can help see patterns of techniques:
-DRM, showing restrictions to online media
- Open Source being taken advantage of as free workforce and commercial gatekeepers *choosing* what code goes in and why...
- Non-commercial people die... Linux itself is run on 99% of the world's top servers etc but doesn't get much for it... if it did and if money was not so 'funny' itself then we would be 'ruling' a much fairer world... so we don't want to rule but arguable we can't expect nothing back for what we do (at least in ideology) to protect without over-protecting inside existing vulture capitalism... else our efficiency comes back at us and cuts us out (advertising technology, flight booking algorithms throttling / charging people more etc)
( just anything that can show the range of technique on 1 list / map diagram / wordcloud (I'm going to go off looking after this!)
So basically this comment was about measurably or quickly demonstrating it is what they are doing and anyway effectively for the person own moral decision in corporate bubbles who are doing a good 'job' of that business even if they don't mean it... so what do we do about that? Converting culture is the answer I think.
- I also see tech like giving a hammer to a child who is mostly nice but it doesn't take much to damage one's self (individual or humanity) and realising power over others (tricking people / threatening with hammer) can naturally and as a business connect to our primitive being / feelings.
People can use tools for good or bad but without know how to use it (lack of training and awareness) it soon goes wrong. Even a hammer can go badly.
It's different to not giving hammers or imposing legal restrictions and enforcing them (layers). It's about not using things even if free hammers given out...
NON-profit clamps maybes...
or other profit-prevention?
3- Tough one, but if you agree we're going towards free (as in freedom, more-financially-free and even reducing mass profit because it inversely proportionate to constricting / restricting the freedom of others.... then yes something needs to be done! Or just doing things less as a kind of helping keep more on top of what *we're* doing and not playing their games to stop the corporate parts that way too....
To nicely massages some of these topics and even prejudices out of people safely, and say something snappy 1-liners in reply. And people are just 'ah yeah' and just align... no big fight needed...
Quickly written - Happy to audio chat and as group moderate (firm but fun and fair moderations to get best out of everyone ?)
I haven't watched a Hollywood movie this year...
I just don't think like that any more.
Once you have better games, it's true you spend less on what was mostly 'throw away' time or learning which now I found better sources from to do, rather than filtering Hollywood ideas in movies. I guess I also had enough of it having watched measurably 1000's.
It's about *how* things are passed on... ...not just passing it on or getting the end result.
Dear Parents and Planet-keepers...
It's about *how* things are passed on...
...not just passing it on or getting the end result.
Above explained below:
Unfortunately for humans that means needing to pass it on almost as humanly as possibly in order not to lose contact with ourselves (!). So whatever we do more human?
P.S
If you don't think we lost contact with humans and planet I'd like to hear it's not the case for you and copy you a bit more !
(not to fight but honestly hear how it's good for you!)
Virtual companies have more rights and resources than individuals, as they given these rights and permissions as paying membersof the government they are register to...
Virtual companies or Groups of individuals behind names registered to government can do much more than any of those individual could...
The registration of these more virtual entities are an extension of the entity registering them (government) which means government helps support it's companies (extensions) as members of it's club or regulations (some people say mafia!) as a mini-version of itself or kinds of helpers who they can help subsidise and hire as helps in a particular field or simply to pay taxes to them for work they might not care about (or not even pay taxes since companies register main companies elsewhere!)
Proprietary software's premise that you 'MUST' accept all those terms and conditions (that you don't understand) in order to socialise and communicate (unless you go somewhere else with less terms and conditions, and build something else more yourself!)...
Accepting the premise of proprietary software in order to socialise or be able to communicate effectively is a dangerous thing... so the sooner we accept and choose our own way better by leaving those things alone, the better...
It would like closing those leaks knowing how much damage is being done and how it encourages others to also stay or not try any different... ( You're also what you are using and represent yourself somewhat by what you are using / being used by )
Software with code that is not transparent means that code itself can be a kind of law in itself or set of rules if not seen or understood by others outside of itself...
If breaking any software or set of rules is against the law itself then, as a whole or effectively, the law ends up covering whatever a publisher wants with less caveats and less restriction under the software protection.
(often I think, innocently and not innocently, law / science / tech don't understand what their codes are or can't see the computer code itself (often both) in order to then understand how / what to moderate about it or even what's bad to start with)
Here's a list... I welcome more
- What algorithms are currently set in Twitter / Facebook
(....what any platform is actually favouring using live algorithms, when it was changed. WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE THAT!)
- GDPR and cookies - what it means or what it effectively does and doesn't do (...why / how it does it)
- Google Camera Cars (filming people and places without consent or against various state rules....
( states or a whole country realising they need to put "No google cars" into their rules books!)
- more as list welcome....
Memes do well in refining meaning, often producing the best from any basic mass of everyday people...
Even in it's weakest form, and perhaps because of it's weak form, memes enable accessibility where the best can still be taken from what almost anyone can say and send to the world about anything!
This kind of low-tech is what I feel is underestimated by those higher up in skill or understanding where too much specialisation is a thing (call it over-specialist) and importantly the human connection is sometimes lost completely where memes can often connect people AND other things (or the other way around) ...in humour, creativity, cross-culture references, basic 'shitty' funny art, real relativity to our own day-to-day, emotional intelligences, comparisons etc etc!)...
[ The next bit below doesn't fit quite right so I might cut out in future but for all the technologist out there I wanted to add this as a bit of teasing but also to serious ask the question as I'd like to know if it exists... ]
now show me where sciences do the above list and where many enjoy it personally outside of the more serious-only type of facts!
So that's asking if similar things exist in sciences? ...to have humour, creativity, cross-culture references, basic 'shitty' funny art, real relativity to our own day-to-day in it's own world
...or did memes basically come along and do it for us all?
Lyrics for Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It
[longer lyrics than cut audio version attached]
Album= Chicago Trax, Volume 1
**** cut part start ****
Can you feel it? [5x]
In the beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove
And from this groove came the grooves of all grooves
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box
**** cut part end ****
Jack boldly declared: "Let there be House" and House music was born
I am you see, I am the creator and this is my house
And in my house there is only House music
But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house
It then becomes our house and our House music
And you see, no one man owns house
Because House music is a universal language
Spoken and understood by all
You see, House is a feeling that no one can understand, really
Unless youre deep into the vibe of House
House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body
And as I told you before, this is our house and our House music
(Can you feel it?)
**** cut parts of the rest almost completely ****
And every house, you understand there is a keeper
And in this house, the keeper is Jack
Now some of you might wonder: "who is Jack?"
"What is it that Jack does?"
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the [...]
Jack is the one who learns you how to rock your body
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together, under one house
You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew or Gentile
It don't make a difference in our house
And this is fresh

A #message in the #music...
1min short #House music edit with a message for everyone ('house' has more than one meaning here)

#FreeSchool
User experiences for buying Tickets online... Always an interesting read for people's feedback and bit of analysis how tech did / didn't work...
https://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/skiddle
Wordpress plugins - still easier in some way... unless you're technologically able / willing... and want to heave to new system / way of doing things...
For example I used someone else's code to make tooltips (mouse hover text in 1 universal list for the whole site!).
Took about 5mins and kind of idiot proof if you can unzip and upload something. I love people that can make components like this. <3
So now I have DRM added as a tooltip across my site (whole site) but I wouldn't know how to do that otherwise... manually and maybe in CSS for one list?
Anyway done! I can move on - solved! Hoorah.
If you want to see the Text Hover plugin in action here so here also about DRM:
http://freeschool.0id.org/drm-restrictions-on-audio-video-pdf-data-info-pictures/
http://freeschool.0id.org/drm-media-adrian-cochrane-www-browsers-text-audio/
DRM = Digital Right Management a kind of media Software-Lock or way of stopping people manipulating files (I've written it better on above links)
Handy for providing explanations of names, terms, phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms.
Anyway this is a shout to the plugin provider I'm using called Text Hover
https://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/text-hover/
Thanks to Scott also for his funny / honest URL
coffee2code.com
(gotta love that honest site name and health risk!)
#Wordpress - still interesting... If you need help *maybe* I have an idiots way for it!
I guess markdown does tooltips...
If you're a techie look away now, oops too late, but there are some thing it can do more, but I static has caught up quite a bit :)
Wordpress it's not the best but simple(r?) so I hope you don't judge me for what back then was the only things that actually had search and other stuff... even if it was long way around and we didn't know about the economics of having a databases and + / -'s of it...
So yes not Wordpress if you're able to do more like a static site and MUCH MORE are self-installed or 1-click like from Linode hosts...
Browser "Do Not Track" signal is unenforceable (they don't have to respect it, we cannot force them)...
Everyone knows this probably, but slap my face anyway as a reminder (and best to my knowledge).
Would be nice to force them somehow or even better make our own something?... but oh maybe we have that already? But it's not so clear what other than mainstream 'web' from those spiders crawling over us...?
We are what our thoughts have made us... (SHORT MUSIC MESSAGE)...
What we reimagine and aim for can come to life if we reimagine it often enough so if you keep it mind through all your actions you will get there... and together is even more powerful.
Even to pretend / visualise it is a great thing while awake and just before sleeping.
Not brute forcing it either as the energy is different... usually quite soft...
Lining things up... incrementing...
until the idea almost fruit and ripen itself and people simple arrive on the same plain...
And even if it fails you're even ready the 2nd time!
When the water is polluted and the oxygen / environement is toxic (uncaring)...
Hey I'm not anti-xyz always... but it is kinda hard when the water is polluted and oxygen is toxic (uncaring)... and energy sucked out of everything...
SO FISHES UNITE AND LITERALLY CARE AND SEE / HEAR THE CHANGE!
(and FILL YOUR SOUL WITH OTHER PEOPLE...)...
NOBODY WANTS #DEAD #FISH BUT ANYWAY...
PEOPLE / FISH ARE THE PRIORITY... SO WHATEVER YOU DO INVOLVE MORE MEETINGS OR WHATEVER THAT INVOLVES PEOPLE!
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...!
