How to not get caught in the time vortex of stirring all the media (sh)it and not spreading it?

How to instead spread / do better things !! ?? (it is also difficult)

But perhaps ultimately our individual and collective aim is this as they know we get caught up in their shit they *produce* as government which is basically occupying our time / time-killers for us...

█ My answer is Mastodon
█ and personally talking so we can also say "hey focus on that good part" or "OK I got you, you said that already, now let's move on to that good part doing..."

(is ALL hard if doing good almost doesn't exist or is locked out by systems, only leaving the shit for those down below)

The "exclamation mark" type of media (xyz!) ...and how to move on?

Stirring the shit-show stuff of the world also isn't as it even promotes bad people...

Lately was thinking how exclamation mark type media (imagine the "!" at the end of sentences in text or video) is what sells or keep things going... but yes after a while more is needed...

█ Lately (Martial Arts competition) has caught the bug that sells Pay Per View (PPV) going back to this kind of Wrestling rivalry with ! marks and less honourable comments ( more personal and outside of the ring / cage comments of the less honourable kind to sell fights).
Colin McGregor had originally (and more genuinely) had this style and then many copied without style and it's detectably fake / extra whereas Colin was really Colin.

█ I also like and prefer when people can quote from a kind of 'go to' list of decent people INSTEAD of stirring the shit-show stuff more (because stirring those people isn't great after the education is received and even promotes bad people).
A good-ish list I saw is here noauthority.social/@Cosmic/111 just as example of who we could focus on and have our own personal lists of good people not stone-throwing and even promoting the names of the bad that end up upping the search engine ranking more than our heroes.

And though it's hard to measure when a reader or viewer gets any message (even Alex Jones style of repetition can help for 1 or 2 episodes, you can still see some shows leaning *mostly on repeating* after the yes "this is how they do it" and not moving on to that "we need to" or "what next..." for each individual

(which is perhaps the hardest question so hard to blame shows inside the government bubble). Not even supporting Alex Jones but at least he says directly FUND X, GIVE IT TO X, HELP STOP X (imagining in a better world it all goes to the causes people will promote)

ANSWERS AND SUGGESTIONS WELCOME :)

My answer is Mastodon and talking to people personally!... which could be you...

AI bros are all like "Sry, but can't steal your money without stealing your content first".

And the press is all "Stealing is here to stay" and "Stealing is inevitable, so stop whining."

And the government is all, "Stealing has it's merits and is likely the future; we need to be open to it and recognize that for some usages, stealing does in fact enrich the rich".

Google is the wrong way (The End Game Screen to Real Life)
- @freeschool

Try more often searx.org/

(This picture is what I imagine you are shown at the end of your life, like a game screen as you complete something and then realise it was the wrong way to use Google; the wrong kind of progress to be part of as the search also used you in the wrong ways.)

And so playing Google was fairly empty in the end, as it (and the makers) actually played you :/

But you can change your habits. :]

There is a difference between giving and selling earth.

Asking how much something is is morally questionable for me after everything I have learned.

❓ Which side are you on more or mostly?
❓ What do your actions honestly say in representation of that?

(it's ok not the same as you want as it's work in progress I hope... or is it full steam ahead with money?)

If end users are not involved in your design, you are wasting your time.

/ ... [IMAGE BLOAT]

Massive space take up by PNG images... [unintended]

Have you noticed the PNG image files on Mastodon when you go to save an image? (images are not JPG)

[Assumption #1]: The image is converted to PNG sometimes to strip EXIF...

Example post link: retrochat.online/@jimblimey/11

PNG = 1,1mb +/-
JPG = 150Kb +/-

If I'm right then it's good to strip EXIF but regularly 1MB PNG files are created for originally ~50-100Kb JPG upload!

Overall it is killing space massively also.

█ A SOLUTION:
Convert the PNG back to JPG (done server side) to get about 1mb space back per image!

Example post link: retrochat.online/@jimblimey/11
PNG = 1,1mb +/-
JPG = 150Kb +/-

"What works" in education depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Another FTP style file storage example that simple works and is shit fast:

Not bad for half century old protocol :)

People who say others are stupid often fail to see others are deliberately doing it as a measurable technique.

Example below, without being harsh to Gary Ackerman, but lots of people online right now also:

Giving is about time. If giving is just about money and not time, then it's failed... 

Giving is about HUMAN time.

If giving is just about money and not time, then it's failing unless quickly human time is given more often. If I'm wrong give me a solid scenario...

If problem solving or trouble-shooting is the aim a lot of the time, then top most valuable thing is to give time and then do that together.

It can be chicken and egg, but always 'time' is what everything uses anyway in terms of Human's doing something well or doing it badly (yes in-betweens also but no more easy to see much by others 'given' to us is trojan horsed including money).

So moneydoes such 'good work' (starting as debt) and rules and regulation (by uncaring people) stop and sterilise all companies... we know they are not going to give us freedom (because they could at any time by reducing how much extra they take and how much we pay for everyone else's time and services!).

Of course you sometimes can't start from just looking as an overview but more and more can BUT WE DON'T USE THEM (like me).

We also know BIG holes and sometimes step into them (so that is A BIG PROBLEM IN ITSELF).

I can even accept hypocrisy if it has inklings of logic, know-how and even dreaming or imagining a new world if it can be persistent with some realism. A lot of people dare not dream or create so almost stop themselves from being part of life...

Are you a non-player?
- No? Then give me your time
(text and voice messages via Mastodon please). Just reading this isn't always the complete circle (unless we talked before which is fine).

Many times people say they don't like SMS OTP, but what they seem to miss out is, unlike software that runs independently on our devices without a server or don't need to interact with others, a messaging app choice is much more complicated. Looking at it as a binary of either
1. making the exact compromise of using centralized platforms for our contacts or
2. staying isolated on our federated platforms (#Matrix, #xmpp)
is not really scaling up or we are losing out.

The aim of tech should be to allow the most basic version of an app or stable evolution and still cater for those people, rather than face constant new mixed-in dangers of changing big steps without this kind of 'backup' plan.

Loading websites for example, many sites that haven't changed at all but have forced overlay saying "You need to upgrade your browser to continue" etc.

At least I feel like that now more than ever because we have reached enough of a level for social change etc (if some of us want it hard enough with text zoom-like chat etc...) and only need reduce talking to machines most of the day!).

I'm thinking the upgrading of things browser-based is almost as unneeded monopoly / irrational market forces and further reducing useful things by monetising even more etc.

Any new tech that doesn't incorporate the old and/or switches up a user's version often and forcibly when they don't really need to I think is doomed...

█ a) for users constantly getting rug-pulled or having to change when happier with old and still workable

█ b) dev making things with too many whistles and not focussing on human change (for example) breaking their own appeal while everyone races to breaks theirs at the same time. There is good reasons protocol have been around and still used (FTP, XMPP, Email) and perhaps good examples of being a little too overcomplicated in their evolution (deliberately)
