Helping the wrong people is hard for people not to do...
Helping the wrong people is hard for people who naturally want to help others... (many of us and on many levels people are wrong and know how they take advantage of people)
So we end up in packages helping the wrong people or not seeing the onion skin we are in and real 'work' happening.
People are helpless in helping and the wrong people and groups take advantage. This mini-lesson also about how hard it is for people to say know or have their political groundings clear (to themself- not always needed to explain to others).
It's your responsibility to say no and the rest of us also (as well knowing bastards don't play on the same level and don't play by the same polite rules).
Gigablast.com = Best Search Engine? (least damaging / most minimal NON-google)....?
Anyone else used this?
http://gigablast.com/
I believe everything else uses google to query (even if it's cloaks or ask on your behalf)
BOTH mainstream alternatives still connect to google AFAIK ( startpage.com or duckduckduckgo.com )
- Gigablast goes one further without using google
So overall educate me please - If I want to search but not use google in the chain at all - what choice is out there?
At some point you're going to have to accept Googles is not the way (in any chain).
Dependency reduced / eliminated = good work
(or at least depending on ourselves than government companies)
We need each other to help move on in our own work to something else similar but not exactly the same all the time...
So in our field of work we 'specialise' or become dedicated but my suggested benefit is to help freshen others when you see them trying to punch out of the same paperbags or hitting the punchbag (what people have grown into doing for a long time usually as a reflection of what life is not giving them).
Also to confirm others - "you're doing great"
Their cause (our cause as humanity) is often honourable or in good will but externally others are naturally needed to help others come around from another angle or radius, and even refresh their perspective *without* going against them so much, more a curving (unless someone like me doesn't mind you give them the shit straight up and loves you for it!)...
TLDR Others help give wholesome perspective...
Extra...
...On our own we are warriors - and that can work also though often is a bit 1-dimensional and anyway we are informally working together organised or not - I prefer more warm contact of approach - get in contact :)
Creation, compromised....
The beginning part of building something can be most exciting without running through the middle and end... which often is the same difficulty at the beginning (money for example).
Understanding the implications of even basic creation within THIS WORLD entity is a consideration.
(so even though it's hard to predict, one has to understand what babies are worth bringing into the world and what compromises it takes to run those babies... and even what those babies can compromise us with from lack of caring or proper understanding or without feeling from the past that repeats itself).
"Who cares." a common phrase... but equally not creating the next project that gets taken over is also honourable. It's not an easy decision but progress in the same way now is not needed UNLESS really sure it can't be taken over and a snakes head put on top of it.
GIVE US GOOD WORK TO DO!... How to harness good people's skills from far?
Looking for the answer because some of us (at least I) am getting bored... GIVE US GOOD WORK TO DO!
Ideally towards practising improving language and relationships so eventually more people are nicer and understand other people!
The nobodies... [Quote by Eduardo Galeano]...
The nobodies: the no-ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way. Who are not, but could be. Who don’t speak languages, but dialects. Who don’t have religions, but superstitions. Who don’t create art, but handicrafts. Who don’t have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the crime reports of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them."
— Eduardo Galeano, Nobodies/1, The Book of Embraces
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Galeano
Thought it was interesting and just to ponder about...
Ok. Another quote in 2008 Galeano said:
" The White House will be Barack Obama's house in the time coming, but this White House was built by black slaves. And I’d like, I hope, that he never, never forgets this "
Money is worth much less than the face value...
Money is worth less than the face value because someone always pays to borrow it. At the start they pay a fee or continually pay now as 'interest'.
So money becomes worth less and less from beginning of 'buying' it AND less value as time goes on.
What money you hold is worth less than it says! (And getting less...)
The 'face' value (what's written on material) is changing in reality.
Physical numbers don't changing in your have and cheat you accordingly.
The average person doesn't realise money is leaking.
From their pocket, money is designed to be drawn by the centralised banks and government using fees and %'s they continually charge and change.
100 now, after becomes 60..50..40..20.. as time goes on!
% x time = less money
Indeed money is as 2-faced as the government and banks that allow it.
Because it's deliberate and deceptive to make you think 100 is 100.
In your hand is getting less and less !
When you look at the number but it's actually 50 after while and then even less.
This system (maths to depreciate) keeps Banks in power.
The power of fees and % added reduces the number of money you think you have.
Money is mostly confidence in Money...
... there is a bit more to it but it can just layers added on top of this basic confidence that it's worth something only because once it was *maybe* worth something physically (gold etc but now not)!
So now it's mostly insert between other things... or on top, or as a gate etc... but still confidence is main thing otherwise it could be sea shells / stones if really we were that confident in it (and of course money has the control in printing and remote devaluation so but overall I mean about confidence - we ASSUME somewhat based on what we see but if the other person would give you a piece of paper saying "THANKS" then on some level or even better because technically money is worth less than the face value because someone is still paying % for it / or gave it to someone else with %!)

Hi @Calico
Suivre
I saw you posted this and wondering where it's from / in reference to?
"his soul left his body out of sheer mortal embarrassment"
How can you change what keeps you alive?...
If Government's survive based on profiting from us how could they stop that even if they tried?
If Government's survive and profit from the people's suffering, how could they stop making new ways for suffering and profiting from the wars / supermarket tactics / tax... even if they tried not to?!
If the government changed their heart it's still a hard problem - this is the main point of this text.
Because it would probably mean the end of government's job itself! (no food for those individuals) once all the good work is done and everyone knows what they are doing a lot more / less tricks etc... more more continuously moving goal posts and making so many rules to implement them on us more than their own group.
It's assumed people in government have a job because it keeps them alive just like everyone else (to some basic level for this context) so the problems are also their own dilemma like all of us ! We thinking about this basic equation:
morals / honesty / peace / change
vs.
keeping job / business / profit tactics / same matrix
ANSWER?
So maybe the answer is not to have a job since that is better for decision making... but then how not to have a bunch of slobs even when we with less slave masters? :)
If you were government, how could you stop being bad since more of it is what keep yourself having a job and alive!
Good doesn't pay and solving things ends the profit stream!!
This is good and bad dilemma stuff.
For your own survival it's probably the same just imagine and entertain the idea you're the government and you have changes in heart but it might not be able to change even if it ALMOST everyone wants...! <---- :/ oh no we must solve that perpetuation!
Governments Worldwide or any level of authority perhaps means living using people and resources and then gaming the system / having bias toward one's self./selves/a a group = profit.
So why stop the suffering if it means you will get less money / no food / lose power / be taken over yourself as a slave instead of slave master!
A typical dilemma everywhere.
How can you stop what keeps you alive is the question.

"Let’s be clear - what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was.
This is communication tactics disguised as politics."

#FTP can hold ALL documents!
<3
+ FTP interface is the fastest and most responsive!
FTP Interface is just as your own systems file explorer to upload/download and can queue / mass delete / reorganise in seconds. Not on PT.
FTP shows things minimally.
+Don't want or need much more!
For me, not even to play video or stream is needed much or PT can be used occasionally as a demo (not every single video!)
With FTP when it's labelled right just drag and drop to serve file explorer window!
All Linux system have it
FTP doesn't create unneeded load and 1 by 1 administration.
For small video- just download it if it's small enough and delete! For my use it works.
Example:
Have a few big front shop videos on PT as a demo (for example my chess games) and FTP for the rest!
Password protection on FTP possible.
Towards education and personal stuff this is just FAST - drag and drop directories, rename instantly, no waiting for browser to load or contact through layers that are almost emulating FTP!
FTP love.... <3
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...!
