As #Musk dabbles in the politics of free speech, I’m reminded about this basic human truth: software products are not human beings. Algorithms can’t fix hate. Humans do.
Fascism and control comes from people being paid by state ?
Fascism and control comes from people being paid by state and control comes from people following state ? (Even if it's a lesser kind today?)
This is a remark to ask yourself if true or anything majorly wrong.
(Basically fascism/auth/totalitarianism/capitalistic stuff gets replicated from those paying others to do their bidding under soft or hard ultimatums ("for my family" / "for food" or because "it's the law/illegal otherwise/penalised heavily ) , so if you agree they care about authority/control/mostly etc just numbers/seeing people as their property or lower subjects / captured etc... then that's very similar / as good as fascism as main branch with other things mixed in)
Fascism and control comes from state and people who are paid by state to enforce or apply it even in education, sub-companies etc - just diluted but structurally still there to make profit for and follow state guidelines/rules
(So in one form or another tight control, paid for... else it would not be allowed by system/statesmen/top levels and their own pyramid of gate control/passport-control type checkers like a 'quality control' for humanity)
What do you think... is it quite true as a common component to fascism/hierarchical authoritarianism that all is planned and paid for whether it's police or teachers (professionsls) at the end ?
So people paid by the state like police people are in some forms paid to do the states bidding - maybe even have a quota or 'incentive' plan (like all jobs to basically penalise via your salary pay at the end if you didn't follow orders or achieve what they laid out).
The states apathetic point of view(s) and much that is missing from morality and sharing our seems to keep the shape but perhaps even worse it's indirect / less obvious... so you see a school or hospital but hurrendous siphoning or money and waste to fat cats while people are happy for front shops with less care about banking and bankers.
And similar to not funding things- things just die unsupported or indeed doesn't even exist like fascism wants... it's even more unseen in modern terms but still fascistic / systematic perfectionism and hurts things by not growing it or killing it off without it even being born by not funding it in the first place.
Computers perhaps don't cheat us
But the people behind it and it's speed can deceive us. SPOILER ALERT!

Money forces a certain perspective and this is like a wedge between people which we need to minimise and snap out of to see more of an overview or meta perspective of the system and transition slowly (with a bit of money) to something with less man-in-the-middle attacks / less over-taxing / less greed and banks... literally!
(they are towards profit or causing6 loss (profit for soneone else) and everyone can't profit.... and they don't want to share even if they had the money...
anyway it's not a moral tool since banks dont care abiut people or morals or ethics only and mostly are about finding a body /host for lending people more debt eventually for wars that they fund / loan the states etc etc )
phrase: "Cut off the nose to spite the face"
It takes skill basically to balance things and feelings 《--- a needed evolution else it is war (diluted or direct)
I believe people have different ability so therefore as long as in good faith (not taking the puss) then different people can do different things in various longevity or strength (like different animals and different personality)
Important is to see the personality also as most systems see you as body only/mostly and try to fit you into a matrix of repetition when different people like it differently... but hey try telling a machine with rigid design to customise itself to the human using it! It can't unless the managers of machines relax and don't expect people to keep up with the machine!
Fascism and control comes a lot from people paid by state
(What do you think / is it quite true as a common component to fascism/hierarchical authoritarianism?)
So people paid by the state like police people are in some forms paid to do the states bidding and wants for it's apathetic point of view(s)... and even those employed in a "company" to similar degree perhaps less obvious or directly are still also regulated and enabeled by state... ultimately "allowed" to do things for it else it's phased out of design or hit over the head
think of the companies you have worked for as perhaps a mini-state or extention of state almost exactly

TWITTER NEWS 2021 - CEO CHANGE
JACK DORSEY (meanwhile to PARAG AGRAWAL CTO (maybe to ELON MUSK in 202X?)
Jack Dorsey Leaving Twitter to Work Full Time on Bitcoin
And some good commentary about at least working towards freedom (not helping censorship)... like YouTube also
Shows tweets shown from
-Nic Carter and Glenn Greenwald (Edward Snowden leaks),
Mentions then-President Trump being booted off Twitter! Not the president surely!
Generally good comments from this episode, really if you don't like Bitcoin makes sense as it largely doesn't need you to like Bitcoin, just see the Banks etc as not making sense and Bad!

MASTODON SUGGESTION
- JUMP TO 1ST MESSAGE BUTTON OR LINK?
(OR SOMETHING BETTER THAN NOTHING!)
Ah I did enjoy the ?min_id=0
but more than that seems we are missing features like pagination or numbered pages... or something to go to beginning of people's posts.... :(
which this change only highlights (click post, but in general the URL haD parameters that allowed jumping to first post on any profile!)...
URL parameters are cool (probably have downsides but not sure compared to how many happy users... now wondering if there is something that can relpace it.... ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Update: Now even user profile pages on #Mastodon don't display the old version. That means using ?min_id=1 doesn't work anymore. You are now limited to specialized Mastodon clients to collect older posts, or you can view my post below where I collected some of those posts:
https://mstdn.starnix.network/@james/109192175423348143
With this change, any URL that started with /web/ after the domain has now removed the /web/ prefix. Settings and other options have still remained the same.
Now, user profile pages and posts are using their original URLs when logged out. However, remote follows and replies suggest copying the URL into the search bar of your instance, instead of a popout to enter your instance.
P.S. If you view a remote post or profile on an instance, refreshing (or sharing the link) will redirect to the other instance's post, as used in these examples below:
https://mastodon.social/@james@mstdn.starnix.network

#Microsoft is updating their terms of service again. They are now going to start blocking contents of your email based on what you say or upload.
The terms take effect August 15, 2022.
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:

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...!
