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

There may be little chance to know everyone here on Mastodon but to expect to know people is itself too much of a focus or expectation,

Play with what amuses you both and then take a time-out and come back to the dance floor again and find the same or another person!

Say more explicitly and add standard licenses and logos to your work... to say what you allow us all to do with it.
Adding your philosophy to your material (it is all political and until you see it misused you might not see it as important!)

Copyright anyway is wrong / not ours / not our mentality / not sharing orientated / incomplete.

This reverses and defends that + explicitly mentions sharing AND it's own mentality so people know what they can do without needing to 'steal' it or worry about how to ask...

For example non-commercial use can be specified like on my site...
(You can still allow specific people commercial use separately BUT this makes it clear FIRST they need to ask... so asking first and not after!)

People can see this as arrogant etc... but to accept one's imperfections, while making it better and thinking about it, is something first for you more than expecting others to see it or see how sincere you are to yourself and then to others also as direct / indirect result as time goes on...

Remember "Free" as in "Freedom" is the usual meaning here, not really the financial / monetary cost. (Banks and Gov are playing their own bad games ⚡ 👿 🏦 📉 and we just need to play ours somewhat within that)

Libre / Freedom of choice ⚔️ 🗝️ 🔑 is the focus here.

[List from https://fsci.in/blog/ways-to-earn-living-from-free-software/ ]

1. Free Software consultancy services which provide solutions based on free software
2. Customization of Free Software
3. Offering Free Software powered services
4. By selling hardware with free software pre-installed.
5. By selling free software <--- can be confusing
--> "Free software" is a matter of user’s freedom so distributing "free software" for a fee is different "Free..." (not cost)
6. Selling Exceptions to the GNU GPL
7. Selling Free/Swatantra core with paid addons:
8. Subscription based support:
9. Donations and Crowdfunding
10. Free Software Training
11. Selling Merchandise
12. Content creation around Free Software
13. By getting paid to develop free software.

When you *enjoy* complexity in everything then it becomes less of a problem, and actually more realistic in accepting it as it is.

(your attitude to it all changes and becomes better for problem solving.... for example acceptance (that it's not all perfect or in your control but you can do x, y and z now...and then doing a.b.c later (and even putting things in place not forgetting about it) is very much the way I think)

I'm not sure being mind reader would help us get there anyway!
I do know avoiding offence is too passive / defensive in learning / asking / practising managing own feelings while talking to others.

For videos and wait... you are the tube?

You are forced to get money or risk yourself starving / being homeless, at least that is the template it seems.

So participating in the exist traps for others (and yourself) to get you money sesms warranted else you start to endanger your own health... but then you realise actually with money it's also not so good either and just an aesthetic almost... (I assume we are all a but 'comfortable' here and can type about it...) but at the same time we're not happy / unhappy with the status quo AND not really being able to contribute,,, other than in money again which mostly makes things worse / is not doing the Freedom part (Freeing Planet from people being valued almost only by numbers and how much GDP it makes for any given Empire)

Giving more personal meaning and actually living (not being so blocked from our own wishes) I guess that's what we're all searching for...

Seems like efficiency means (mostly):

- machines replacing people

So if I am not far wrong in connecting machine with efficiency and more machines = less people needed sometime after installation or immediately, then I just don't know how people are to survive / do jobs they like. And continue doing them... just growth is like a snkae shedding skin and getting left behind.

Seems like this way is doomed if we rely on 'job' and just not workable for people to survive unless there are enough supermarket and restaurants to give people enough dishes to wash

#Question. How to manage interacting with 100's of fans and users that you appreciate / genuinely want to reply to?

It's long been a question, once you make it to the top, busi-ness seems to block out time for it... but even with time and enough resources how would you manage that?

How to make money from Free Software ?

Sometime languages are just enough to convey, though we can get better at it...

Assuming basic language and counting is enough without do the human homework is root to many problems, like consent, permission, understanding, sympathising etc..

Not expecting it all in one moment always helps making space and time for these things (not just work work work or cold counting).

It helps by your own measurements measure things but also understand how others see things and measure them... e.g 100 litres can see a lot for one person while very little for others.

Regardless of wrong or right, 1 or 0 people have their own gauge and reality which I guess we are trying to balance and harmonise*

(harmonise is slightly different as it considers the nature of the person and then also with others balancing it to work well / have a nice flow / tempo / speed / pleasant co-existence)
