"Bikeshedding, also known as Parkinson’s law of triviality, describes our tendency to devote a disproportionate amount of our time to menial and trivial matters while leaving important matters unattended."
Virtue Signalling... this is a signal that I'm collecting subsets and context of this meaning.
Virtue Signalling over... :)
But seriously what does it mean... ?
Some attempt below.. please add yours
- showing what a virtuous person you are, instead of actually trying to fix the problem. (aesthetics?)
- the easy showing of something being good or bad but *not* actually incorporating it into one's life (hypocrisy?)
...couldn't care less about other people or never aimed to do much. Maybe doesn't know how until others do something (person needs to follow)
- showing you care about something you might not normally care about or didn't care about until something else happened (self-interest / convenience).
- group-think / social mirroring / echo chambers
(although these terms are probably in themselves a bigger term the social grouping of people talking about the same thing almost as useless as the weather)
MORE WELCOME.
Hidden Politeness damage.... Not sayign the obvious... telling people but then not untellign them...
"Hidden Politeness damage" - when people say something but more infer something - so eventually there are not clear and can wait too long / not deal the dirty / spit it out
This works (to not be so direct) but also doesn't work - so I prefer clarity because then you can see if the exact point the person is pointing is wrong - but is the moer battling style which prefer not to do in staying on the 'ambiguous' forever style AND EVEN WORSE DISLIKING YOU FOR IT!
If people accept the logic "that's the way he does it", and "it needs a bit of time after I say it clearly" and accept people heard it, then that's great.
The other way is inferring and winking about it all day long and the other person not understanding it or doing something else thinking it's obvious saying YES I understand and then it's not the same understanding at all (usually when then people find out you did something 'wrong' and you say "oh that's what you meant' or why didn't you tell me when you saw it ---- > because you're a chicken / don't want to practise harmonising?)
Come on people, get a bit battle test then have some lemonade together....
Another example- If you tell someone to do something with the plants, like water them every 2 days, then do tell them again when to change even if it's obvious.
Summary: What you switch on or tell people sometimes you also have to remember to switch off / tell them it's fine / enough.
People are shit then they blame others for forgetting or only being there some of the time to check things themself.
Moan over... BUT practical points
Maybe only when you come across it, you will realise "ah I should have told them or checked with them!"

#Mastodon #Suggestions ACCOUNT STATUS / FRIENDLY LEVEL INDICATOR
From my experience with people being online but not interested in talking...
Add a signal or a bar or flag or something that shows people who are 100% definitely not interested in talking...
Here is a list for inspiration for:
- emoji icon
- or flag
- or something like a volume level visual for how hot an account is to talk and ACTUAL DO SOCIAL!...
otherwise text or drop down category / profile options like this:
-This account is mostly output only
-This account is mostly announce although we say a lot like Aral Balkan... but I/we don't reply to your advances AT ALL
- I don't care for debate at all
- -This account is for show, authors are not really interested / have put aside time to maintain account
- This account is not really interactive despite is being able to be
(of course I assume there are many other things possible and reasons)
But generally speaking if you're account is not really interested or dedicated to chatting online,...
LET PEOPLE KNOW FROM START!!
The above helps my hopes and knowing for future BEFORE I WRITE ANYTHING. Thanks
Feel free to ask for any pics or request your own logo / edit / banner etc...
Sorry for lack of pics or media recently.. some are in progress...
waiting in the wings... etc
But also been working on the human / audio side...
I am liking text just right now as I realise 'Life' itself in equations and dissect it / unlock it a bit like jail-breaking an iphone.
Oh wow ok now I have to look around for 'jail-break' pics! That's self-inspiration right there!
More about that term here:

To not accept doing nothing is a skill...
To do something long-term can be incremental and part of short-term (all one things)
But if you can't understand your chain, don't understand it all, can't calculate like that 'long-term' way then think of it as lots of fast isolated short-term efforts and fun list towards something overall good.
Richard Stallman audio recording - a conversation recently... which is nice and methodological with positives and problems...
https://audio-video.gnu.org/audio/2022-04-13-rms-state-of-the-free-software-movement.ogg
Interestingly (and by chance) mentions finding a way to speak to each other more or specifically make a speech or topic and then allow critique of each other as a training process for speaking itself (round 1hr in audio rms mentions it).
So as I was already following this way and talking to the people I respect and getting feedback, I suggest to you dear reader to check a few audio examples of content and people worth listening to or check the topic headers only just as a 1min look:
My Follow Requests reply (template-ish)......
These kind of things I ask new followers, mostly for quality control and continuing relativity)
------------------------
Hi I got your follow request and always ask "why me?" :)
Also it's see if we can continue talking or adding to something you saw just now or wanting to see, so I guess is saying more is optional but as I see it this helps continue relativity and add to we don't forget later by doing now while we're still interested! :)
Other things you're welcome to add / feel casual about saying:
- how it's going for in general or specifically:
- what you're looking for
- what you need help with
- what you think is the way (for you or others)
- what you don't want more of
- what is not the way
Thanks
List of People / Groups without Mastodon / Fediverse accounts (who would you like to see contactable on Mastodon / Fediverse?)...
I'm collecting a list of people YOU AND I would like to see contactable on Fediverse!!
If I happen to like them a lot, then I will contact them myself!
------------------
MY LIST SO FAR
Debian? --> Official?
GNU? ----> or is that under FSF?
MY STRATEGY
I will submit (a contact form) and subject them to intense pressures (of logic) until they give up... and then you'll be surprise why they chose to make an account (If it makes sense of course)!
ADD BELOW MORE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCOUNT BUT YOU THINK IT'S USEFUL AND THEY SHOULD.
BOOST TO GET BIGGER LIST.

Misconceptions of Respect... Respect differs from person to person... but having respect is the main thing...
Respect differs from person to person. This is the basis for this piece of sentiment that it's different but can be the same (it's still respect, the differing is less important as long as people respect what they do more often).
The fact that people have respect should be the main thing which can unite us. Not only looking at the bad whic serves pessimism to fuel itself (that's why many bad things are kept as it fuels more bad things / is circular)
NOT having someone match your respect 100% doesn't mean they are disrespecting. There is another peg or slot people fit into which is live an animal that is different to another...
One animal, though no fault of it's own. cannot or doesn't value so much in some another animals realm or domain or naturally from it's ability.
This analogy of human being like different animals (or having different preferences and skills) means each person may look like a human but act according to their own animals philosophy, experiences, exposure, natural ability, ability to learn etc...
People naturally have preference for some types of fields more than others who have a different field. And not everyone can learn all the fields... so while we level each other up I think we can focus on our super-power or main skill without ignoring the practise of other 'stuff'. This need a kind of person a bit more dedicated / a coach / advisor etc... without going to far into either...
Just know when you not respecting this or that field and top up involvement.
The 'mismatch' for respect I feel is natural *should* be expected accordingly.
NOT expecting to have 100% is a kind of perfectionism or even discrimination, mild fascism if it's not accepting a person of their own sovereign being or animal trait.
Much like people hate someone but after a few drinks can get to like them, after they might say "Ah yeah he's still a dickhead but he's fairly harmless or like ABC at least"
To hate people being different is different to loving that people probably like more than what you see or has onion skins naturally not visible. So not to feel too offended, to try and accept and even not push too hard to explore.
Let the animal come out, you can't force it out always, then share or encourage it with a cup of tea and show parts of yourself and what you're about if you can balance if they are going to gossip or not.
If people have a different set of respect for things it is good respect in itself is the overall residue I value.
Respect can also bee seen as as like a equaliser visual for volume levels for each thing
Another analogy could be bar a level of respect someone has for each category or unique situation, which needs learning (it's not clear by text or computers).

Less profit brings people's focus back into other things...
Recommend slow controlled deceleration of your finances and related entities so the truth and justice can come out more than those types of thieves. Not saying cut just don't feed..
Something until we're holding hands a bit more even in the online sense of audio/video chatting while trying to make food... see there is not much other way.
Slow deceleration = nice demolition the world's wealth and Fight Club style. Even the score without damage to avoid cheating / filling their bank safes....
It will require saying no OR constantly asking them for proof so they can't just assume rule = payment of a service that doesn't exist or is questionable. (you are now paying extortionately more for everything what could be less or simply non-existence as a tax on your existence and more towards your existence instead of taking away--->pay it forward style).
Less profit brings people's focus back into other things.
The world has changed so much that nothing seems to make sense any more apart from buying food and even that has lost its meaning.
The erosion of our rights is something we have to meet at some point using our life. No two way around it.
Your existence forces you to choose...
Be bold and don't shy away too much...
I can help with directions if you know what you think you like... and give you some contrast for your own fine-tuning, your own style and comparisons...
The rest of the blank space is for your to fill in...

As the Internet expanded,
and so it will contract.
The Internet does not escape this business model and it's own "natural" and man-made up and down.
If you have faith in business anything more than this (for example if you think "Business is for humanitarian purposes to alleviate suffering and feeding people" I'm sorry it's just a cloak for u$ing people furth£r... and furthr... and furth£r.
Government giveth,
Government wants more back.
Music is another language... English as a domination tool... English works for THEM when it's whatever they mean and use the language as the controllers like more than us peasants...
Einstein Moment #1: Music is another language that means whatever you feel it.
Einstein Moment #2: If the above seem important on reading, then consider that a totally different language is something like the written form, where writing isn't bad... until it's whatever the other person mean more than you.
So English for those in control more than anything is a language you think works in some way but overall doesn't if the way the words are used are different and just another way to think there is some understanding coming from total domination style people from a-kind-of insignificant mainland oppressing the others around it (England, Britain, British Isles, 'United Kingdom... expansion of empire ruling more than half the world at some point!)...
so English does work for THEM when it's whatever they mean and use the language as.
#Music undoes that much like speaking a different language and not understanding order by the "English" (or some other term, but anything domination / empire orientated will do)
Reserve right to revise, advice welcome. I write fast and revise to take cream of points. This works for me and if you can see points, just composition always.
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:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

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...!
