Starting to consider TL;DR as abuse or bad practise of the languages.

YES do try be concise BUT:

- don't expect hard topics to involve 1 neat paragraph or to catch it first time you read.

- You have to do the homework even if you are Lemmings following mostly and explore for yourself! Don't expect text customised just for you! You can read almost anything if you tried.

- don't expect everyone else to be pro and not to have difficulties explaining difficult things (joy can be found in finding out 'why do you mean' as a co-op game not 1vs1)

See my TL;DR series from profile page (under media tab) for definition of what I think TL;DR is
-it's behaviour / traits / disadvantages.

Stick to TL;DR and you are simplifying (incorrectly) what is probably always more than just a few lines.

Always complicated. Always Social science / Humanities more than just Tech,.

But also it's it's a clear sign if people ignore points or don't say why they ignore them. Or delete your post that clearly you have to ram this point quite clearly otherwise the abuse is again being ignored / non-TL;DR not being respected at all.

'Money is ok' mentality need fixing... How to say it better...? 

Money is not a problem (???)
Money is just a tool (???)

Money as a man-made creation and set of rules is a big problem.
It's perhaps the #1 reason to problems as an integrated mentality developed over the years so when you use it you're already losing. This is a blind spot for people.

The top phrases are repeated as if they are not made by banks (even though some of these people hate banks)
Is it not a man-made design that helps force you in only using money? Not because it's the best tools for you but for them silly!

How can mice not see something that can cheat you (like an object that leaks) or continually go around the carnival thinking the games are not rigged.

Embedded unfairness. Plain and simple. Many can't do the maths to see it's debt creation by design. It's not just what the numbers say on the face of a printed paper. That is for you to pretend while in the background it's being drained siphoned and banks regularly taking public money because they suddenly don't have any (2008 etc).

It's a mistake in people's mind.
I'd like to adjust it but I guess it's hard for people to imagine why 'money' (or cheating people) is the best way for empires and how it centralises and changes in value using sub-tools and tweaks.
You have your stack and you don't see the changes or care over time... and of course it's tied well to food so we're grateful right... don't bite the banks hand... but eventually one has to really see that as the problem as there is not much healthy growth in people or world using money itself.

Please check yourself. Remember the worst things blend in various parts so if you want to see it as only a tool you can - but you have to give Banks and Government a bit more credit over the years! The art of money and manipulation, how they give loans to certain people, filter things... is everything but apolitical. How they make money themselves at the cost of others (called debt) can even be seen a minor point considering how much power and control it forced (along with the other tools like law and legal things that make you also use it). Put all you hard work and labour into one thing, very convenient. No probs.

This is really a decision-making tool for who lives and who dies (plus the debt added on top chaining people into the same scheme / cheating program adding %'s forever). You tell you kids "you have to sell yourself" in a lot of ways and it's not like all the jobs are well balance in pay (governments, banks and companies decide who get most, and well banking pays very well lol).

If people deliberately make something it's political and pre-decisions are made.
You don't get money fresh and think "ah yeah nothing happened before I got this money" or that it's your money.

Money is almost all deliberately designed politics (embedded decision making and many traps inbuilt) so rather than 'just a tool' or sort of optional thing it's actively taking from you and your efforts in life.

Money is so much more than just a rock or shell people exchange.

At the same time as anything good it's creating more problems all around the world and by the people it's created by (banks and government teamed together).

You trust them?
You support them?
Do you have a choice?

So it's not gret being check-mated and forced to also support their habits of feeding off people and mismanaging money and all their responsibilities they shirk and profit from.

How could you not see this happening before, already and now?

This particular person is also in the free-trade or freedom movement so contrasts how even those kinds of people to any degree or stereo-type almost don't mind money's chains or multiple layers chaining us and defer it to simplify it in some other way as if it's not THE problem.
Bad people (uncaring people) bad money and it wasn't designed overnight... a lot of time by empires and the whole history of people and fuckups deliberately.

Just some candy never mind let's take it. We have to anyway.

I will revise this but please someone help me (as well as the others) to articulate it better.

How can I say better how the two phrases at the top are far from correct?

An antidote to this disease is what we need as it's like the root epidemic to many things it connects and roots itself in) even in the freedom, free-software movement, or any movement / political reform...

What's happening to #Tutanota could eventually happen to your email provider as well. Users of the #email provider were banned from signing up for #Microsoft Teams and #Crunchyroll. This is how they lock us into #Gmail.
Eventually, in the name of "fighting spam" they will block all email providers, especially those on custom domains, unless the domain just happens to be associated with one of the big companies, such as Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Amazon, Comcast and Zoho.

P.S. Since #DuckDuckGo launched their email service today, who knows if they'll be able to get away for it for much longer.

"I understand the privacy concerns, but I am worried about starving YouTube."

-unfa (on considering being totally FOSS or not)

"YouTube provides a very expansive service that we, the FOSS community cannot fully replace just yet with a comparable video quality (PeerTube and Odysee both look much worse), reliability (PeerTube instances can and do go down without notice all the time - I had 2 die on me previously), and content diversity (most creators are only on YT, some are on Odysee as well)."

...

"I haven't had anybody complain about me posting vanilla YouTube links, and using the "filtered" sites makes it impossible to interact with the video creators by commenting etc.
I think if someone is concerned about this, they can probably modify the URL themselves, I don't see a need to do this for everyone.

Full disclosure: I am a videomaker myself and I stare at the other side of the coin here."

(The last line says which side of the coin/FOSS someone chooses' even thought I was asking for *adding* non-tracking / not advert links also in addition to the standard youtube links. I wasn't asking for him to totally go FOSS only just encourage it)

LAST IS FUNNIEST AND TRUE!

The Queen is dead - bit of reality (if you want it)... 

Parody video of Queen with a bit of reality in text for what is a mean business of running things badly (the art of exploiting people / way of cheating them from their time and energy and giving them much less back).

Governing a country and leading the empire by crushing it's own people (and others) just crushes everyone under it's accumulated weight. Enjoy the video - the likes of her will die but we have to makes sure people copy and paste the uncaring £nglish ways a lot less.

If you want to be a proper criminal then make sure you're following legal fronts like this racket for the deaths and killings in the background and backend while trying to make you feel guilty for the careless lack of feelings in everything and actively emptying it justified by your survival.

Fun but deadly serious (as you can tell by look on queen's face.)...
YEA! BOUNCE!

Just a shitty main island that tried to rule the world, many islands and lands and somehow did more than 50% of the world and perhaps still has it's hooks in places.... that's propa tyranny.

Laugh. Cry. P£ople must di£?

Business Tactics + Strategy 101:
The Take-Over

- Get bought by a bigger company or any reasons to "merge"

- Have changes made which change the vibe without asking and make people uncomfortable

- Get Incremental changes over time so people don't rebel or make time for rebelling... or do in all in 1 to shock people into doing nothing / accepting everything in 1

- Accept more bureaucracy and less freedom (security excuses, safety etc) without debate.

- Make money the driving factor more than ever to force a harder mentality more than pleasant work environment

- Of course more focus on the above more than customer satisfaction

- Call things by different names / move goal posts

- Introduce incentives like a lottery advert "You could earn upto XXXX a month but only if your KPI is within these high gain stats and only if you kill yourself over-working!

- Increase targets monthly or yearly if it's too easy for people and make them unattainable if you want to avoid paying out incentives (while swallowing the work they did while trying for incentive). Make work like a low-chance carnival game or numerical matrix)

Voila - You have "success" in the art of bizness take over and place that cuts corners in exchange for more money than does hardly any good over time

On the positive
- your might just get bought out again (if so repeat the above process)
- or even go bankrupt / get cashed out after the usual <1-2years of existing)

Weely Weely Worth IT.

Chess is not great unless you let the less able players take back moves once in a while.

This is why teaching someone should always involve take-backs to progress.

It let's them get better while you have to make sure they are also more likely to let others learn and not be so cut-throat (else consider not teaching them these tricks).

This is the equivalent of Pay-It-Forward mentality also (whether as community or singular person) where the idea is to learn and be nice (rather than learn and be a bastard / dominate / stay on top).

How nice I am.

- No need kill people for real unless it's friendly sports and not just the art of pushing people down / art of money / art of war / art of empire.

- Shouldn't matter if we're not the best in everything - there is a place for everyone in more diverse-loving places.

- Shouldn't have to be specialists expected to be hired to go sniping for others for less mutual things.

How to by-pass "Get Newer Browser" nag messages?

I can't see simple pages from 'old browsers' (old increasingly meaning 'yesterday' lol)

For example
mail.disroot.org/?/BadBrowser
by disroot @disroot

SIDE NOTE:
I think Admins can avoid this message for users coming to it's site by installing this plugin (and maybe there is an add-on to by-pass it in a similar way)

wordpress.org/plugins/no-brows

(BUT might not be needed who knows until this nag screen comes up).... so if you surf the website freeschool.0id.org/ and get this 'bad browser' or 'no entry' message on my site let me know!

It's a unhand way of making people upgrade browser for very limited difference

Blocking me out 100% - oh well disroot can't even see landing page.

Disroot has disrooted it's older users and that's only to log into it's webmail - DOH!

@Gargron what's activity like, though? I'm concerned that a lot of those accounts are panic-parks, rather than people who end up actually staying and engaging. It still feels like a bit of a desert out here sometimes.

America ruining our KTT G20, are you serious? You are putting our country in a difficult situation.

I don't like America, but i need google for everything. Such a irony 😢

@atomicpoet @lashman @narohdethan True, particularly on phones. I still sometimes forget that to the vast majority of people their social media is primarily, often exclusively, an app. I still hate posting from my phone.

Mastodon has gained 106,723 monthly active users since the end of March (when Elon bought 9.2% of Twitter's shares). 93,603 are new accounts. Overall that's a 42% increase in Mastodon's MAU.

Money is arguably an epidemic* of itself

* Epidemic (in this context)
= A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease*; many people are infected at the same time

*Disease (in this context)
An impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning

Anyone *not know* what Systematic Violence and Structural Violence is?

( just out of interest - not to show you up because I also don't know it all )

suffering can be avoided
just depends how we go about caring about it

Longer / Extended / Non-TL;DR

For many fields this includes zooming out - why?

- because each field is inside a construct and understanding your own fields construct helps you see overall what is happening (inside your field and outside)

- the power of 'jobs' is that each has a fairly narrow set of behaviours / paid actions / requirements / specifications in the contract (isn't paid to discuss direction higher up / expected just to follow / not talk about 'out of context stuff' / overall not talk about things etc)

Chess comments about Male / Female players.

Blown up more than it should but
- yes academically there are differences between men/women in studies / games / sports
- physically also differences (not just muscles in biology but other things)
- training is important too to complement natural talent and expand upon it to achieve higher levels





If you try to solve problems without fully understanding it (not understanding life somewhat as the overall construct for whatever problem that lies inside) then much of what you do can be making it worse or putting water into a boat with a big deliberate hole in it.

Using the same means to undermine those new idea or new things will surely not work (not be probable / will encourage the same things / waste more energy).

Thinking and talking about it really (between life) is just that long homework everyone has to do or else suffer from not knowing or judging incorrectly where the holes are, or even the assholes standing in front of the real assholes in the back doing their work unquestioned / undisturbed.
