WANT INSTANT GAME MUSIC -
A QUICK AUDIO SHORTCUT
#chiptune is an obvious but quick hashtag as a all-in-1 place to go to for many formats
(mostly because one person is putting content there!)
MUSIC FROM SYSTEMS SUCH AS:
C64, ZX SPECTRUM, ATARI ETC)
AND it's cool because the way he does it:
- musics gets deleted unless favourited / boosted (also saves server space / auto cleans up redundant after ~1month)
- content rotates and is automated anyway making it easier and always fresh)
I might do some remixes and voiceover as it's in 'fashion' for me right now.... (anyone interested or want to see my own take on the retro genre?)
- hold tight on my profile for some releases and revamps soon!

YOUTUBE / GOOGLE ADVERT BLOCKING *DOES NOT STARVE ARTISTS*
(THEY DON'T EVEN GET PAID A $1!)
TL;DR VERSION: This video helps explain once and for all on these points. (I need a secretary like this guy or someone to represent me as I'm far too raw for people and people are too emotional about literally near-zero benefits AND no money at the end!)

ADVANCED VERSION / CAN YOU READ?
If you think I have problems with things people say without reasons then this video helps with some wise words (and facts) coming from a content creator himself with MANY follows and almost doesn't get paid (it's like decimal places for 1000's of views and shameful / ridiculous from Google who get billions / millions per month and don't even spend it on their cash crops - the creators! Sound like capitalism at it's best)
Don't feel to bad fr blocking adverts... 5-10 years of watching
= <$1 (less than 100 cents)
OK NEED TO MAKE SURE I TYPE THAT SO YOU CAN BE SURE:
LESS THAN ONE (1) DOLLAR
(USA CURRENCY)
There are not too many other points (get flamed with all my might if you reply
lol)
And anyway far too many better points in looking for a better way without literally a fraction of a fraction in return (like many decimal places it's laughable - you can buy a bread after 5 years)
FOR CREATORS blocking ads still gets the creators exposure and most importantly the knowledge.
You really need to understand how data is dangerous increasing for a controlled future NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MIGHT GET PAID... NO IS THE ANSWER! Because all the money becomes insignificant at the control of our habits and pre-predicted / pre-emptive chess moves 📓 they can fence in.

THE CAUSES OF CHAOS ( Game / RPG )
It's just a picture from a a retro game, and I secretly hope it teaches me the Causes of Chaos....
Will you join me on this quest?
Y/N>_?
(so I can rescue me/ourselves from the causes!)
I just looked this up as I had not clue and it's text RPG (Role Playing Game, not graphics yet!
But fun to read)
I ended up watching the player play (type) and the descriptions like "You are in a forest"
go n (north)
"The is a well"
"Use Headdress"
"Throw Rock"
lol
Will you join me on this quest?

MEASURABLE CHANGE
A VICTORY OR TWO
At least 1 person started using https://yewtu.be/ today with all their followers - Measurable change since 100's of clicks happen with 100's of followers over long periods of time.
I also have a feeling someone else did also but not going to need to confirm.
The main result is not directly having links clicked piped from Mastodon to Google's youtube without filtering the adverts and tracking... so they instead click using https://yewtu.be/ ❣️
(Much memorable too which I think is essential)
All because I asked them and it made sense❣️ 💗 ❤️ 🖤
CLIMATE CHANGE relative to BANKS
" When it comes to climate change, it's all about following the money "
- Twitter User (via Nitter filter)
https://nitter.snopyta.org/DrStranglelove/status/1567917455942754305#m
___________________________
a LONGER VERSION HERE
EVENTUALLY CONNECTING BACK TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
I wrote this because Banks are pretty much the basis for all life (full stop?) and so if all of life today is at the cost of PRIVATE bank % so then % is the root of everything even in the loosest sense as % is increasingly added on top of % (compounding all at the same time). This causes unpayable total % amounts across humanity as they all try to pay percentage back... using guess what... more %! (which is people taking loans from banks and they acting like mini-banks or pyramid scheme trying to get other people to pay what people before them promised to pay as loans)
- basically the equation
💲+%'s = 💲 💰💰💰
(+ more %'s or 💰interest if one side of the equation is pumped into the the starting side of the equation almost as an infinite mathematical loop or impossible unsolvable equation (other than slavery to banks).
Imagine humanity's problems simply because of the above equation or just being locked into that and not getting any better!
A computer trying to solve the equation might crash or report unresolvable error relating to one side feeding the other like an legal infinite loop using values that haven't been create yet but as % on paper this virtual money is used to create/loan more money every second and every minute of the day...
(not the best example perhaps as life is continual but heading towards the spectrum of negative-numbers or greed is obvious a big part of the unhelpful pre-defined goal nobody by banks and similar-minded people want)
Re-loaned from loans, feeding into it's own equation many time become like a calculator crashing saying the numbers go out of range.
(a man-made formula of course which accept this logic where a computer might not so easily allow cheating in this way)
It soon becomes impossible to pay without you or your government selling you and your existing self further. And even after selling grandma's land (via banks and then selling mortgages) it means many by now don't even have their heritage even if it was legit in earning or owning it.
All this is used as leverage when it's basically hard for people to beat a banks system propping their life (some parents can't even speak against it knowing their child might go against their own existence going against banks)
WINNING STRATEGY / SOLUTION?
Playing the slow game just like you wouldn't want to go into a casino thinking you're going to always win... spend less money get taxed less because faster let's you put money more money into banks and pay the greed and taxes and %'s... and since we were not set to start in a fair system (we were not born into a fair system) then we also have to accept dying slow / never really in a world born from fairness or positive numbers / positive people (for the most part and even the good were using and born into bad tools themselves).
So accepting it's not winnable outright but a slow process to bend the tree back slowly back to something straight and more-often more best we can.
A lot of time people think or assume they can 'solve' it in one... but with increments over the years, it seems more likely we too have to increment it back while enjoying like butterfly's the time the banks allowed us (imagine in 1 or 2 generations when your parents were alive or about 80 short years our population has tripled in total... this was also enabled by banks... not just fertilizer etc which could have kept feeding the world instead of banks taking from it)
When there is only % to pay for everything one has to take that bad chess game and almost call it a day...
Getting money isn't easy either, as you are taxed as an individual for the transactions or taxed as a fee for initial loans etc... or even saving things by leaving them in banks results in % as they are allowed to re-loan from holding savings upto 10 times what actually exists.
CLIMATE CHANGE JOBS RELATED TO BANKS WHICH ARE IN TURN CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE
The need for jobs becomes another choke point that probably deliberately is design to burden the public and get them to do what they want in jobs or at least turn a blind eye / not speak out / turn their back on bad practices ... and companies ONLY exist to get 'more' leverage or more power or money by definition as a 'job' (hired hands) because if you would help get less money and do more good in the world that would not make sense for them and usually useless. 1st money or at least using good for money like hospitals grinding down it's staff when each one is actually doing the work costing people millions every year but still they are understaffed somehow and overworked).
A bad cycle because it diminishes morality itself if banks and processed are without morality or without people or morality (including government too orchestrating and allowing things to happen all the time) and instead financial oppression is used and a bad "normal" for decision-making from top to bottom.
CARE AND CONSENT - THE MISSING ESSENTIALS
What isn't in the equation or ingredients is *care* by banks AND at the end expecting us to pay them OR GOVERNMENTS ALLOWING PUBLIC TO PAY FOR PRIVATE BANKS with out public money is a constant joke (and again the unplayable position) as their % and their taxes are fees that just keeps adding every time we do a transaction as a cut to themselves while pretending to offer us a service we end up paying amazingly more for and still not getting what everyone wants (getting tyranny or fat cats instead).
____________________________
CAN'T BEAT PERCENTAGE
And since you cannot ever beat the percentage by paying more %
then life becomes even more out of whack unless you are in the middle in which case you might not even notice these percentages flying around above and below you... with those who are playing / gaining more while those above and below do the gambling as do or die or all or nothing poker play games... poor having much more to lose and more risk of death outright if not attrition vs. the rich.
(we have also seen ourselves personally our parents slogging it and doing increasingly questionable work, long hours, unpaid mothers, uncaring infinite treadmills and rate-runs)
If you haven't had that then like Bruce Wayne or Batman your wealth was built on the rail roads, oil and real estate (land & finance)... and then one can try to solve the world and attempt justice!
__________________
RELATIONSHIPS
Therefore most of the stresses in life from the very beginning of relationships are from banks and government collusion / doing deals with each other like 2 supermarkets exactly opposite each other who do deals on advertising alternate weekends to catch all fish / increase weekly sales overall. We see it in Malls and various centralised places... look illogical but in terms of sales perfectly placed.
We in debt or indebted / chained have to answer for the negative-numbers based society which is not helping at all or even worth it.
Somewhat equally and proportionately it is eroding our compassion and a heavy weight for everyone to carry.
Anyone that thinks banks are OK or neutral needs to understand they are choosing and they are not caring and that is political (both in the co-ordination with Goverments and also how they do 'business' / use people for more money as their primary goal).
The decisions banks make is simply about "who gets our money" and "we decide" so why they would give it to any good idea or something saving money?
Any good idea therefore stops dead right there at funding as usually it would have not money as #1 interest or even 10th on the list. So unless it hooks something else (like subsidizing early internet or any technology to then make money, then the banks are not going to go for it without further hook or advantage)
KILL THE FUNDING, KILL THE IDEAS
More than outright killing people in the daylight, just kill the ideas at the funding level. Nothing to see here, just a non-starter or crazy people. What but debt can be grow from banks?
Even good ideas will sell out somehow by nature of being given the ok but banks and pre-set government rules which ever tighten.
You can only beat the % (or match it) by taking from elsewhere and then realise that was a short-lived relief so by aiming at moral decision-making I think that is the most worthwhile investment or people voluntarily sharing their wealth or spaces without roping others into it.
When 18 or so I got the ultimatum from my dad "Do you want study further in university or go get a job" (I chose the easier or the two and still think I needed more time though I wouldn't have been supported or cared as much as I might need having very little idea of the world other than "this is all so twisted, nothing seems right about this system and ultimatums everywhere")
FASTER TREADMILLS DON'T HELP
People running faster to pay forever increasing debt (if money is debt and bank constantly re-loans it) just means forever adding % on top everywhere faster than people could ever pay (in fact the only way to 'win' is to play as less as possible and not take on money (debt) in order not to spread it.
It's a fine line and easy to say but as another analogy imagine a hard chess game - where you know they set the board up with all the possible moves known by them or from previous experience with others in the same game...
These chess pieces are not set up fairly or even move in the same way you are allowed and so the system has a cheat and a head-start and all the possible things you can imagine against as individuals who needs 30years to figure out how unfair it is or has become and aware it's impossible.
BORN INTO IT
What individual or family were born into (and then decline / try to opt out of) is what banks and government allowed to be funded for the most part.
In many many ways a company is an extension or member of government and having a house and extension allowed by bank mortgages (both company and houses all need loans and to pay back more + get profit also to stay afloat). That's asking a lot from life!
And so no surprise people are prepared to do bad things to try counter-balance how much is asked for them and just get more money infinitely... AND THEREFORE CLIMATE CHANGE AS A MIRROR TO THAT through the pressure on people of staying in job (staying alive, keep family alive through their jobs) and companies making them keep quiet to live (or just about survive) as ultimatums continue for even staying in the job as wave after wave the companies have another 'bright idea' or change to their workforce to optimize 'efficiency' using said or unsaid terms with their workers (scientists, researchers, journalist, teachers, all screwed down by this systematically / financially).
And so one of the main ways to either keep people quiet or 'grateful' is to hold jobs>money>food/shelter in your hands or pay them a bit more than average to hire their allegiance and loyalty.
By paying people and having this chain means people act like hired muscle / brain muscle for you with priority always about staying alive themselves / self-interest in the pyramid of self-interest.
A bit like bailiffs and police are the well-paid muscle 🕺 🚔
💪 and a bit like lawyers are the well paid brains 🧠 💼 ™️ - they all enforce high levels of return for system ( banks and government(s) )
END NOTE
I think you get the chain...
perhaps it's not clear how banks run everything but they are the bad seed that want more % back and choose who gets money and who doesn't.
I hope this shows without money (and decisions by bank and government to give it unless they get more back) nothing good happens without big stere/// so almost everything runs through those uncaring people as initial funders (vulture capitalists) and for even more control it's an incremental grip (not only money)
Even if people try to operate as nice people within it and try not sell out - the have to pay %'s and undo any good work (unless it gets you out of this matrix <--- also a business term)
** might redraft this all later of course **
root %'s are relative root problems to everything even climate change which feeds into that debt equation like everything else **
Also know as systematic or structural violence. The picture may say represent that well enough to see it's not a good place to go anywhere near.

@antranigv @rholb Facebook made major changes to Oculus. They ended open source efforts, ramped up DRM, and required Facebook login... and the users keep coming because they are the cheapest option.
@lrvick Is it okay to blame the artists?
Everyone has a Spotify/Deezer/Apple Music thingie, but very few have their own website where we can purchase their work, DRM-free.
Why don't artists do that?
P.S. I think we need at least a year to see if EPIC would change things in Bandcamp. I assume they wont and Bandcamp will continue operating like always has.
Planned Parenthood is telling people, rightfully, to stop using period tracking apps, as they embed trackers that give data to authorities in anti-choice states.
Meanwhile, I count several third party trackers on https://plannedparenthood.org

FALSE PROMISES / MISTREATMENT AS A TEMPLATE FOR LIFE
OR
EXAMPLES OF CORPORATE FAILURE UPON COMMUNITY
I wanted to capture the template of decline which seems quite solid and common everywhere - the almost exact ways things go down after starting well or just more modestly steady in growth, but then exchanged for hard and fast financial fucking (or fuckery for short).
[Skip down to the list further down if you like]
Maybe *this list* is asking too much and that shit happening is a natural process of 'ups and downs' but seemingly other regular elements (man-mad) are just about people frankly *bullying others are part of it all
(*bullying = People also so God-damn** nice that they almost suggest their own suffering to bullies !
** not even what God would want or somehow people's pride or principles go out the window at work and being 'good' followers!)
this post inspired / triggered slightly from Drew hinting to the same things capturing these sentiment of things going wrong...
" PINE64 has let its community down " https://drewdevault.com/2022/08/18/PINE64-let-us-down.html
THE REST HARP ON ABOUT SIMILAR THINGS WITH A MODIFIED VERSION OF LIST BELOW
These same elements come to our parents, peers, community and rot it... and they (the workers or even parents) do nothing and even 0 as answer or will power - not even to take a sick day or retaliate (just let it continue). So good to know what these things are we hear about in the news / experience ourselves at work and when it happens to us / others to really consider it's just going around uncheck / unsaid / hidden a lot of the time.
"It’s time for PINE64 to take responsibility for these mistakes, and make clear plans to correct them. To be specific:"
________________________
THE LIST
___________
(my modified list is below from Drew's list)
- mistreatment of community members. Apologies according to own code of conduct or consideration of what is said / happened.
- tangible commitments to honoring and respecting the community and [y]our said goals.
- Cancel singular / monopolistic commitments to specific people
- Re-instate community-lead things and expand their/our program.
- Deal with stupid problems once and for all / have a big constructive fight about it.
- The community has a right not only to be listened to or just talk for you to find further weaknesses but have it all enacted immediately and shit done about it as if we were running this place!
LANGUAGE / Abbreviations...
IANAL "I am not a lawyer"
TINLA, stands for "This is not legal advice"
IANAMD for "I am not a medical doctor"
IANAP for "I am not a physicist"
...to discourage the use of the information given as professional advice.
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.

------------------------------------
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:

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...!
