each level being held at gun point with terms & conditions / structured force
Meme about "Structural Threats'
Symbolizes each level being held at gun point with terms & conditions / structured force... and basically conditions / hierachy or control points purely for surviving in a bad game.

Bitcoin = #P2P / Peer-to-Peer
Ideally transactions at least by-passing somewhat the banks without needing us to switch completely (use both where situation and ethics suits best).
Politics is the Way of doing things for ME / YOU / AUTHORITY OR ROYALTY (so mostly for money but can be personal)
Politics is the Way of doing things for ME / YOU / AUTHORITY OR ROYALTY (so mostly for money but can be personal)
-----------------------------------------
1st part of this post....
-----------------------------------------
Like royalty I think we doing it all for them mostly as "Politics" (the noun) so for them it's about earning them the money...
(not getting love from royalty or givIng love but all about money!)
And so I think "Politics" as the Way of doing things (like using an adjective) can be used and SPLIT INTO:
1● "My" personal politics (the way I do things)
2● Your politics (the way you do things)
3● Their politics (how banks/queen/powers look at people as numbers/subjects(objects!) etc)
-----------------------------------------
And 2nd part of this post....
-----------------------------------------
Reckless to leave the politics to others or leaving it to their ways is dangerous.
And irresponsible to assume others are going to have your best interest or represent you.
Beautiful location, anarchist colored balloons, old tech & local community art: starting #OFFDEM with a bang! (one balloon exploded;) 🎈
Them: "Mastodon is hard to use."
Me: _gets started easily_
#coops
Them: "The #fediverse is fragmented - hard to find anyone."
Me: _easily finds many folks here I know or enjoy_
👋
Them: "It's just white male tech nerds"
Me: _discovers fairly robust presence of non-white, non-male folks_
✊
Them: "It's set up so it's antiviral"
Me: _sees more interest in my thoughts here than ever on the birdsite_
🙃
Them: "Local servers are like isolated islands."
Me: _finds a canoe to explore archipelago_

@shalf @ln It's not only that, it's also the #greenwashing of unethical business practises. Imagine ExtinctionRebellion being sponsored by ExxonMobile, thats similar to #Google sponsoring #FOSDEM
Do read this excellent piece by @aral about the issue: https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/
Great that #OFFDEM is there :)
Next #OFFDEM will be on offdem.net
:heart:
⚠️ "private companies are investing ever more money & human resources in the development & maintenance of open source software, & acquiring structuring roles in the governance of the ecosystem.
[an] ecosystem, which is increasingly shaped by the private interests of Big Tech"
An important perspective to consider while attending @fosdem and clearly central for #OFFDEM, namely what does the increasing support actually cost?
After seeing the #MastodonButton tag a few weeks ago, I was inspired to #3dprint some pins for my lunch bag to show off the different #foss tools I proudly use. So, I used Inkscape and FreeCAD to model these pins from SVGs scaled to match the pinbacks I could buy.
There are more I should make, but this seemed like a good start.

Dialogue definition = Dia-Logos = Energy communication through people, not just talking 'to' them and arguing points...
(Talk by David Boum, #NVC Non-violent Communication)
PEOPLE using things "like there's no tomorrow" (I like that phrase)
PEOPLE are using things "like there's no tomorrow" (I do like that phrase)
Things like chemicals ironically called "OUST" (like spraying people or organic bacteria) and "ZEST" (like synthetic air and double speak for masking real air and life).
So all this adds a real air of 'human extinction' quite literally by WIPING OUT 99.99% existance all bacteria (that we need, more than need to kill and waste energy doing).
"all bacteria killed"... same as people I guess in this synthetic slightly fascist world.
Do me a favour and spray yourself in the eye if you buy this stuff and see if you felt it was needed.

Filthy Frank funnies on PeerTube...
It's foul mouthed but creative and fun...
My best recommended are pictured in the edit below...

making this poast to pin it for the future
i and by extension this website have no political leaning, this is not a ‘dissident right’ platform, this is a platform for people to speak on without fear of political censorship. if anybody tells you this website is right-wing they are wrong, including any publication that in future refers to this website as right wing — they are the most false and should be drawn and quartered for perpetuating this lie.
the reason all these websites appear as ‘right wing’ haunts is because they are the only voice silenced in any kind of media. you can thank the reporter who sent you here for that.
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
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book

3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!
