People are more likely to notice this when it comes to sex work. But we don't tend to notice that we sell ourselves into part-time slavery just as much when we flip burgers or driver an Uber. We don't notice that these jobs can be just as exploitive as sex work, or even more so.

Self-ownership is not enough. We need to go further and make a radical claim; that we are not for sale *or* for rent. That we are not property of any kind, and neither is data about us.

"We need to own our own data."

#HelenStarr, 2024

yewtu.be/watch?v=Nycso_OQes0&t

Kind of, but no. Because that still implicitly accepts the framing of personal data as property. It's a digital extension of the propertarian notion that civil liberties are grounded in each person's ownership of their own body and mind.

Rather than abolish slavery, this just makes us all self-owning slaves.

I just would like to point out that
none of the accounts I was forced to create for job applications so far had any options for multi-factor authentication or for deleting the account.

And all of the accounts I was forced
to create for job applications so far required to enter very sensitive information that was completely unnecessary to require.

Don’t. Do. This.
Please. Stop.

my teachers used to say they were preparing us for jobs that didn't exist yet, and in hindsight they were probably hoping for "nuclear nano space-robot technician" and not "person who makes a small amount of money putting enormous amounts of personal information on the internet"

#Mastodon Payments - a needed concept... New payment System for Fedi people... 

Payments - a needed concept...

New payment System for Fediverse :fediverse: people

If you want to imagine a new world then let's do some "World Building" together and cook something... via DM if need be.

Somehow to exchange something in addition to those giving freely... some people will not see giving love as real or credible or permanent enough to putting food on table etc... which is fair... so let's have it all!

I say both and many ways to give / give back / take...

what can you dream up? ☁️ :dreamcast:

15min chess kills time well... 

10min chess kills time well...

some growing of plants outside

or growing a relationship

growing a person's experience over the internet

(because it's all trying to find another way more than money).

Not saying 0 money but that game is literally like playing those low-chance games
(and not growing people's mentality otherwise)

Chess maybe gives a few answers but that also should be more co-operative chess or forgiving playing 'life together' not at the cost of each other (which makes people pay more than needed or not sharing space) at the same time as governments taxing and extracting from our lives...

[no Chess emoji, so Chess ASCII it is!]

Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...? 

Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...?

If all roads and relationships started with money and lead back to money... then that would explain why people are circular... and not just stupid or ignorant or those words... We didn't change money also and got comfortable in it's war / cheapening life as we chip into big pot that go off to .

It maybe explains also why people do repeated habits to cope with being taxed and charged constantly for every little things (life's taxes is alot about banks fees, bail-outs, price hikes etc)...

and you might find it hard to accept the best of worst situation, which is:

Try think of some other currency... because banks are costing us too much in losing life to it's own cold culture.

vs

CONTINUED...

◘5◘ Choc money - possibly more valuable, edible currency at least and respected by most as food

◘6◘ 'Real money' is cheaper than Monopoly printed in the same way

◘7◘ Mr Bean - I am trying to follow The Science but it keeps leading me back to money

◘8◘ Hospital / innocent workers - not realising above them they are making millions off each doc and nurse (per week!) as they do 1000x what little they are paid per hour

Money is what is making us compete rather than share... 

Money is what is making us compete rather than share.

What can you imagine from payments without banks so much?

ℹ️ Remember:
Capitalism does really well to make us fight each other using it's own 'given' money (taxed + fees + regulated %'s like chopping our legs when we are getting up well) and mentality not to share or give to better businesses.

:fediverse: 💸 ?

Money is expensive no?... 

Money is expensive no?

Think about the added fees and percentages which bring down the value of each unit of 'money' ;/ good gawd \:

...banks have it too easy...
Time to sort that out....

FediFinance - Interested in using Fediverse / Mastodon currency?... (warming up / perfecting the idea first)... 

Would you be interested in using Fediverse / Mastodon currency?...

If it was much more logically honest and between us here and now...

YES... NO... MAYBE... DEPENDS?

COMMENT WHAT YOU LIKE FROM THESE:

█Yes - a Paypal-like clone please / U$ ideally!

█Maybe, electric-based Bitcoin or Monero, Piratecoin etc but NOT FOREVER !
(just as a bridge for few years to starve banks / get back justice)

█No, nothing even though I'm not ok with banks either - I'm stuck

█Other... (reply to this idea)

Do remember perfect answers are not necessarily the aim and can be 2-part unfolding or just bridge to another tactic and almost always is this way to achieve starving banks first and then get people ready for step 2...3...)

Pictures described in text form below (useful to see why to change money":
-----------------------------------

◘1◘ "In debt we trust." (God has been deprecated, had it's uses on bill like inventors are supposed to give dirty money respect)

◘2◘"Inflation is in effect a hidden tax. The money that people have save is robbed" (mathematically and by banks uneven charging / using our money while they are supposed to store it not re-lend it!) + not so hidden if you track prices as things go up, houses triple and salaries stay same for years]

◘3◘ Printed money dress

◘4◘ Muppet pic - Landlords exposed - if your landlord can't afford the property without your rent, then you're the one providing housing to THEM!

I am truly amazed at the number of applicants I have seen off of this single post. And almost all are well suited candidates worth my time to review. I am astonished that a single post on the fedi is more effective than actually hiring a recruiter. Thank you everyone for the boosts and applications.

While many applicants have made it through and are currently being hired because we have so many positions we have quite a few still available for every level from sr to jr, and both data scientists and programmers. So please keep boosting, sharing, and applying if anyone is interested.

Just a reminder this is 100% remote, no fixed hours, will pay market rates for position. I will be your direct boss and hiring manager (also owner, founder, and inventor of the tech).

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
I am still hiring for top-tier programmers and data scientist. Please reboost, share, recommend, or reply if you know anyone who might be intereste...
