"...the longer Russia drags this out, the more they demilitarize Europe and drain the United States military supplies and funds."

Feels like this quote is also the same war with people inside each country and their government because people will be losing money and time more than government so it's good to look ahead and think "they will drain us / take their money back before they accept bad management or want to change"... so it's a good idea to arm your thoughts now... not when you have even less money...
The governments will try everything to keep financial claws on their own(ed) people. [Picture here the image of a their claws]
@freeschool
I'd add that this is very interesting and ironical to see how that notion of efficiency without context nor seek of contentment eventually create a world where most solutions are not actually very efficient and tend to cause as many problems as they solve.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention
many might be worried about the implementation more than the actual function or politics of it...
so just to be clear assume it would be something not harming layout or revamping everything, just optional, and what ever that would make it basically the same as now but with something in the preferences.
I think that makes people more at rest and leave the question of "an option there is bad or not?"
Efficiency can be a form of ignorance without considering how parts life flows in your life and other people's... Are people happy? Can that be efficient like a machine and should it be since we're humans?
i.e. Efficiency using people starts roots of stronger problems... and avoids the harmonising and reasoning in exchange for 'efficiency'- which maybe shouldn't be exchanged or not so hard (like it is today in my opinion where you're opinion doesn't even count or barely is registered - you're just a tax income / pot of gold for someone else to pick)
If you have the STEM-only type of 'efficiency' then that type of efficiency concept is often exactly a type of fascism / ignorance that values highly the end-product and *not* the who / what / where / why / how it was produced... no time for that! (...and no skill or intention by rulers or extensions funded (STEM) end up copying and not really learning to change the pyramid-like structure. OBEY!
So the other things like being accountable for other people's 'happiness'... oh no not efficient.
Anyway here's hoping you get that...
For TL;DR / reactionary people something for you... imagine German engineering / Nazism spectrum (so innocent or not types of efficiency) means that do things without the people stuff along the way... is totally creating unhappy people and not far from fascism / obey the boss even if they have no idea and don't care / financially based dog-bodies.
For most people on these topics *I think* people not seeing this they are thinking instantly:
** Let's not talk about it- that's totally inefficient! **
Sorry Germans / Sorry Nazis / Sorry STEM - you're regularly too good at what you do **AND** not doing the talking about it so humanity is loosing time and those level are not being upped,
(and Sorry the World - all cultures suffer from this though some cultures more than others, that's why it's called *cultures* which have known patterns though there are many who can think outside of box of efficiency...)
Mastodon links withOUT YouTube Advertising?
Alternative links auto-added or just something more than just funnelling to google / youtube?... (this is main question regardless for now of implementation)
Could be a link comes under any commercial like this video url added to youtube.com url

Freedom is INVERSELY PROPORTIONATE TO MA$$ PROFIT...
1000's of Google / YouTube links are clicked outbound from #Mastodon
Feeding Mastodon to Google and YouTube u$ers (and possibly relative data for future analysis) is inevitably bad so I hope in future this is dealt with.
Possible solution here:
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/108256186916612393
Welcome anyone adding stats from instances bout how many links go out from their Mastodon to Google / YouTube without hate- just is part our principles to take care no?
Alternative YouTube / Google
Instead of banning people who link to YTb / Google's / Twitter I think adding alternatives would be ok and get rid of arguments
Like Nitter automatically as people enter Twitter links --> example ---> https://nitter.snopyta.org/brokep
(that's for a user but could be to any link also)
All your click after that link are covered by same filtering and prevent invasive data leaking out while you play / search / link people!
These other links make a middle ground or middle road serving those that support Google's YTb / search link$ or Twitter AND those that make less monetised / less tracking links.
Both camps where some like to block Google like we moved from Google/Twitter... and some don't care or have other reasons... which for me is strange as it seems aligned Mastodon helps go further to HELP distance itself from those links and FEED ITSELF or FEED FOSS instead of 100000000000's of google link$ every day :o]
Makes $ense not to feed those corporations right... with links and MORE free software,
Let me know if interested -
Links could be automated / embedded or manually put into posts... I do it manually but would like auto-detection and adding link below any commercial youtube.com / google.com link$
More info here on which alternatives are out there...

@james Unfortunately commercial social media are usually hostile to alternative front ends
We just want to be heard - I think that is the essential thing although whether the person cares on the other end(s) is something else.
So that's why mainstream ways pretending to listen can make things seem 'fine' and people might shift focus on other things to keep things those things going also (while not really realising people haven't and won't care about any of points).
Almost stopping your entire life because you realise how important this first step (being listened too) is probably a hard thing to realise as other life parts go on... how much would it mess up everything if you were being ignored... is up to you to realise...
I'm trying to convert people I guess. Probably a better term is something like harmonising but it's more about what they want to see in the world and working towards that.
It's not 1 set thing to convert to though as humans we have commonality in wants and needs.
Conversion can be seen like a cult (as in change of culture) but simply something more meaningful to whatever it means to you. Often that needs gently pulling out of people as systematically it's ignore / unvalued more than the brute-force work or mind power in very specific matrices.
Conversion is also a reflection of what our habits have become by mainstream systems so those thoughts and ways can be naturally questioned... and something interesting can come out of, well, "thinking outside of the box"
Often conversion can be seen as bad (maybe), possibly more because it's someone else's idea and not yours :) but ironically the system is made from many decisions and so questioning those things are also valid in that respect, even if you don't see any of those decisions as I would personally present them to you as a self-check.
I guess you just take what makes sense for you. And we agree not to ignore the micro-transactions happening in thoughts.
So hopefully that's what you want to see in the world (change?).
Letting you brain speak helps loop back into itself (not my brain but yours even though I'm listening).
However if people would prefer if it was mainstream first then this defeats the purpose of change and delays it.
Don't be afraid of converting (transforming) I guess is what I'm saying and without thinking someone like me is going to get you, It's kinda is all change but keeping things with some similar concepts or feelings. Make it your own creation / direction I guess is what I'm saying.
Podcasts were a huge step towards a true culture of free expression.
Decentralized social media is another.

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:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
