FreeSchool: Learn Respect Love @freeschool@social.cleverlibre.org

Relationships are like puzzle pieces, It's unavoidable to go through feelings so YOU MUST Go THROUGH them if your really into any relationship! (It's hard to hear 'you must', I don't like it but I mean more that left or right all ways go the same, feeling, experience, adjustment, comms, everything!)

Don't bee too defensive - time also passes not too great that!

We just have to try some pieces together, some hit and miss but do continue if you believe in yourself ! (you find more when you're ok with yourself and not fighting or comparing yourself with others)

Some pieces of the puzzle will match some not, but it's the ambience and civility I think while playing together that makes the pieces more possible - no assuming first time you're going to hit it off... and smiling when it's difficult and thinking about it.

According to me, if you find someone exactly like you then also expect some feelings of challenge like putting two magnets of the same polarity... or misunderstanding or fireworks, and then a bit more time you realise wow actually there are quite unique!

It's uncomfortable for some people who can't make a REAL relationship semi-deep so I wrote this as it's just a smile and get along kinda thing and letting everything grow.

It's just like not being too precious also... and living it by allowing others and everyone a bit of real talk :)

So 2 main things of interest here about privacy / phones mostly:

1/ This guy represents his own product and compares a few privacy types things (he's pretty direct about the opposition!)
and answers
-- specific AND general questions about HIS product AND others... mobile or BIG TECH or OTHER smaller phone products
-- PRIVACY-BASED STUFF, XMPP / Jitsi mentioned, VPN, Brax Router

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4ZFqrCD6SBk

( skip intro to 4.30 as just music / time-killing)... then it's riffing 30mins about privacy (it's ok) and then answers from general crowd some useful crowd questions.

2/ Website https://brax.me/
Gives a good run-down at least as ideals for mobile app (but seems it's the real thing!) for privacy-conscious social media
" No Identity. Encrypted. Open Source. "

So basically bout privacy and some answers around sticking to the same privacy principles:

COMMENTS?
Love to hear your comments (it seemed for me refreshing
--someone being so direct about opposition
--being technical and representing himself while defending privacy
--says "but you trust those other guys and not me as I'm right here talking to you and answering at least! (paraphrase)

Community = Communication
(The healthy type of comms ideally - short version)

JUST text and pictures =
Incomplete Community

The idea is to say we can simulate or present what looks like community or do 3/4 of community but essentially talking directly to each other is what I consider most complete and most human. This expresses and goes through all the motions as the more realer equivalent (human voice minimally directly or via voice replies) like in-person or something expressive more than text (not everyone can do text well y'know!)

TEXT AND PICS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR COMMUNITY OR IS INCOMPLETE IN MANY ways...
(IN MY way of MEANING OR AS FOR CHANGE AS A COMMUNITY DOING THE HUMAN WAY ITSELF.... ETC)

Less Long-Form Communication = Less Community

INTRODUCTION - I've cut and re-arranged the above slightly to reflect the point I'd like to make which in summary is:
- law is basically whatever they think words mean to them (such as Anarchism),
- Law is for them to use indiscriminately with people of ignorance, making law itslf a trap for control in own realm
- Law is just to steer people into the same 'it looks fair' but is the same casino (money) or control (suppression) in getting the outcome they want with variable interpretation and avenues they can choose to put more weight on as 'judge' ]

I don't think my selection of the text changes or messes with the source's sentiments too much as they don't seem too unclear but again reading the original first will help to ensure it's not wrong by the source.
I'm reproducing it but basically the last sentence in the paragraph above say the main point if you're not interested from hearing from the prisoner )

[Edits and changes are cuts in sentences, making shorter, making lines between a sentence and indicating any cut with double ellipses ... ... ]

START OF RE-ARRANGED VERSION
----------------------------

" This case is about the “stylized “A”s in a circle on our laptops, ... ....even a red and black bag of earth. It is a matter of thought-crime, in particular, of anarchism. "
... ...
" What does the public prosecutor mean by it? The overthrow of the state system, inciting social hatred, riots, extremist destructive activity.

What do I mean by it? Solidarity and mutual aid, personal and collective freedom and responsibility, rejection of oppression in its many forms.

As an anarchist, for 10 years

I’ve been cooking for the homeless and poor people on the streets of Minsk, which the “welfare state” does not care about ... ...
I have been involved in various educational, social and environmental projects.
I contributed to the preservation of the Kotovka Square in Selkhozposelok.
I am ready to simply help a person in any way I can. "
... ...
" “Pramen” is an anarchist media resource, that is, the media,
and the statement of the state prosecutor that this resource writes only about its participants would mean that if Belarus Today writes about the harvest, then all collective farmers are related to the editorial office of the newspaper. "
... ...
" My anarchism is idealistic, pompous, radical, but creative, not destructive. "

" As a reminder that the law is for everyone, I would like to quote from the protocol of the decision of the tribunal over the Nazi judges.

“The defendants and their colleagues distorted, reversed, and in the end achieved the complete destruction of justice and law in Germany. They made the judiciary an integral part of the dictatorship. They removed any semblance of judicial independence. They threatened those who got into the courts, intimidated them, deprived them of their fundamental rights.

The “trials” they carried out were horrible farces, with rudimentary remnants of legal procedure that were nothing but a mockery of the unfortunate victims!”

" We determine our lives by our own personal and collective choices. "

Metaphor and Reality in the pictures

Metaphor (people who follow are not always alive)
and Reality (following also leads to pictured results as metaphor or pollution of planet)

Teaching people using pictures + practical code (an example website)....

This helps people see and play to get the message, that's why I think it's different.

Changing people's perspective is limited if it's always done in the same way (text / no human contact). Bashing people / having reactions / repeating in the same way has it's limits I hope you agree)

So this is a site where you can read but then play with the tech which changes the pictures to make your own customised picture and even 'story' picture to send to others. (Something more personal that you remixed yourself is nice). Could be for a meme but already it has the best phrases included below:

"my other computer is your...

laptop, tablet, PSP games device, mobile, server, car, cloud, toaster, wireless router, smart TV, fridge, camera, heart monitor, baby monitor, watch... etc etc"
----^ quite a good list / worth saving since I've written it down lol!

Website Blocking example vs. Tiny Notice message...

LEFT SIDE = ULTIMATUM
(RESULT: STOPS BROWSING)

RIGHT SIDE = NOTICE TO USER (RESULT: ALLOWS BROWSING WITH NOTICE)....

With older browsers or forks this blocking is becoming popular encouraging people to upgrade when not really needed at all / can still run the site or just needs warming it's 99% ok just not 100% which many sites are (just pictures and text, or at worst some pics or something missing)

While it does help me browse less sites (I just leave or send them this screenshot) I would prefer just a notice in my browser (the right side) AND NOT A BLOCK PAGE!

Quoted from https://theecologist.org/2021/dec/24/kropotkins-ecology

Also Wikipedia history is interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kropotkin

" Self-sufficiency in food could be achieved, he felt, without recourse to industrial farming (under capitalism), if the cultivator could be free of the three “vultures” (as Kropotkin described then) – the state, the landowner, and the banker. Kropotkin thus opposed both the state collectivization of agriculture and capitalist farming. "

" Mutual aid (or anarchy) was expressed, Kropotkin argued, in worker’s associations, trade unions, family life, religious charities, various clubs and cultural societies, as well as many other forms of voluntary associations. Mutual Aid, Kropotkin stressed, was an important factor in evolution and in human social life. "

Making freedom(s) easier to follow is our task...

More active you are the more you step on toes, but if you can absorb that and even fix things to help it on it's way then you have progress.

-Worst case is bad dancers with bad teachers,
-Best case is a hive full of activity and repairing / feeding cells + getting the honey (progressing activity regardless of ability and increasing of human intelligence within a hive,)

MAIN POINT

Using all of them (people) regardless of skill perhaps. They can do satellite things that make the orbiting pull for others...

MORE AROUND THE TITLE AND PARAGRAPH ABOVE...

I MIXED TWO THINGS IN SUMMARY:

-almost exclusive / excluding tech-only things being an issue and limitation itself
-different motivation or priorities in people... (using all of the different kinds regardless of skill perhaps or just not expect it to be #1 all the time)

The thought actually started about people and keeping a circle of individualism and their own order or motivation or priority (probably 2 different things but can be the same) and including them as much as possible whichever way we do things as a project or whatever generally....

Using all of them (people) regardless of skill perhaps. They can do satellite things that make the orbiting pull for others...

PRIORITY LIST / FAVOURITE THINGS:

Everyone probably has something they 'know' they are right in.. we just have to help each one of us understand it better AND get to work amongst that (basically it's not important if it's 4th or 5th important on their personality list but using all motivation is priority instead of many not understanding and not being able to accept others unless it's #1 on their list... #2 to #10 are all doable but it seems a bit exclusive now, also reflected in the phrase "what's you job" we love to do many things, and jobs are arguable what people are not paid to love or paid because they have to be and are strange-held less-than-moral money as a currency itself / banks etc)

BACK TO PRIORITY OR PERSON NATURE OR SOMETHING....
I personality see it like a list each person has, where someone puts a priority of something more than the other thing, more or less than another person BUT the point is not to as priority but accept all are individual and instead find a place for them.

I think it's problematic to avoiding accepting someone is individual and not asking them what they want and even though power-dynamics don't allow it, still in a community we can rope more people by asking and finding something to do.

SUMMARY:
Having tech orientated things are good but exclusive to the point where perhaps it's only tech people and so no wonder others are not involved. A tough one.

Using all of them (people) regardless of skill perhaps. They can do satellite things that make the orbiting pull for others...

If a mass of people believed in something that is imperfect and was hitting hard (despite the imperfection), what is the level of imperfection or understanding before you (individually) would accept it and dive in much more (or just not hate others for it)...

(my main direction here is people are aiming for perfection, and while it's probably best to align things or increment with highest % first... saying something like Bitcoin is irrelevant (not meaning to trigger you on Bitcoin the word) but anything that has achieved making Banks much relevant (for example in 4days on Oct 2021 Bitcoin transacted 120Billion in under a week (about 4 days) (I don't mean other shitcoins or crytography, not those).... so if that is a bar and it wasn't 'evil' transactions doesn't that say something like "it's working to burn the banks by avoiding FEES, %, State control, Red-tape, 'Verification', Shut-down (swallowing accounts of problematic people) etc etc etc)

Forget the word bitcoin but if anything does that, when are we ready (or what %) before you step in more / read up on it?

Or do you just keep going with the banks which is ultimately the source of all almost all our problems. <----- I shit you not or at least 2nd / 3rd / 4th fuelling anything as the main problem.

Mixed feelings but I'm asking basically about achieving perfection which is perhaps lesser possible and only waiting (though I'm not sure, could waiting win it for us or not just regrow another bank when one falls?).

Notes from a video + weaving best bits together a bit so it's mixed but hopefully shows some good notes (together or as paragraphs)...

It's about the necessity to opt-out of the massive infrastructure or have nice choices and not be at corporations total whim (as an individual or local gov itself).
To have our own choice and NOT BE DEPERSONALISED) is to be more sovereign.

Slight tangent but similar

When your Operating System governs your locality's decision-making... then this is becoming more powerful than your Government or everyone following their ways reflect their ineffectiveness in this (like just having always-online operating systems) just because it's easier (funded) or less technical (easy install)

Linux (LinuxMint / Debian) install still needs tech-literate people though it seems a good choice.

The above does seem hard if you're trying to manage masses of people and somewhat need to standardise / shepherd... but I guess the line of ignorance is just everyone following nobody or one big corporation as the shepherd itself (rather than individuality or intelligence) so corps are clearer and better funded.... which is arguably what government is supposed to be like Microsoft represented back in the day paving the way for word processing and computer operating systems for the layman / average person... (even if questionably so if you consider Linux still needs tech-level help to setup or not get stuck whereas windows gets you in point and click style.... I could be wrong on this!)

SUMMARY:
The above paragraphs help us see why people go for big corps (as a gov trying to standardise / depersonalise everything or gov just going with big corps)

I skimmed of this from a video so it's mixed but hopefully shows some good notes (together or as paragraphs)

Freedom versions are needed for pay-to-win and rewards / loot crates...

Better incentives or appreciation / interactivity between people overall without making it top heavy / only about that

Getting high from participation / busy-ness between us / fuelling our own fire.

Credit for participation itself would be productive.

(I would like you to say on what you think that means, even before if it's useful or not to help me develop this component in interaction without overdoing it)
