Today I went on a community #unicycle ride with @Velocipede Rider and @Øystein B among others.
All this was mostly the result of #fediverse contacts. What a great place this has become. A lot more vibrant than #identica back in the day.

I just watched a youtube video by Taylor Lorenz and some dude about how "nobody's posting anymore" and it was cringeworthy. It's how about social media is just professional influencers, "hyper-curated", with slop and ads ruining things. Nobody's doing casual posting anymore.
It's almost comical how they suggest newsletters and substack as alternatives (or "do your own blog") when the #Fediverse is right here. People doing the casual stuff, the healthier kind of posting. 1/x
Inspired by "Free School" movement in the 60's & 70's... I practice educational living and learning life together towards #DIY / #Caring / #Art of #Life etc: in whatever way that suits and directs the individual.
More on that 60/70's movement here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Text and short-depth understanding isn't doing it for saving humanity. So learning and your own action / direction is important. To get better examples that lies parents were fed or chose not to face.
#FreeSchool (me) makes #Notes #Quotes about #METAPolitics / #Politics and #Cares for people good #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites
That's my life in a few keyword sentences.

OFFERS TO FEDIVERSE...
===================
☼ MY OFFERS OF FREE TIME ☼
>> GIVEN TOWARDS FREEDOM <<<
FREE WORK editing text, pictures, audio, basic video editing. Basically anything considered. Just say it.
Audio #remixes also found on #FreeSchool hashtag to help keep you working well!
MORE.... OR JUST RESPOND TO ABOVE PLEASE...
I feel like Short-text / Short-reading by people directly undervalues people and longer understanding - it's cutting corners reading only short things and proportionally killing the planet / cutting people who write more off.
That's why I'd like to do audio conversation now... (anytime) so we don't get stuck in the text realm either and just speak lightly in the ethereal / spirit of life.
People are the depth and action of the culture so if text is not deep enough then culture dies. Audio conversation I have can put back the reality into people.
Just sticking to yourself dosn't work. We can solve almost everything as our efforts can double if we are relaxed but do it constantly over tiem... it's OK "it's all political" (!) and our opinions too... so letting go too far into "Politics" of "Leaders" is not the way we want to go... as a #centralised system (of control)
Your decisions can be made and changed doing short depth + short depth (=long!) which can reinforce those bad things less by seeing the depth in tricks (like chess it's "aha! I realise why they made that move now") .
Don't let "Short-ism" make you think it works for you (it's the opposite). Communicate more and build normal people up. - Increase more #sense and #society but socialising incrementally like at a party.
The 'human condition' needs A HUMAN WAY OF FIXING THINGS in a social-communal situation... not a ultra-tech way.
We have #Mastodon and #Jitsi etc - we just need to increase trust step by step and measure ourselves as we go.
🙎 Develop people, not just the tech! 💻 ✈️ 📱
I'm working with anyone aligned / those that know themselves or want to as it's a natural human thing we need to solve (not just tech etc).
Get in touch and even have fun with it all!
==============================
More description
==============================
The Free School movement I feel is "the best way" for people as a transient flexible "school" of fish / people in life because it's YOUR way and your likes mixed in however you want guided by others in the same class or other t give another perspective..
As long as you trust yourself and trust a few others more while measuring while mixing, then it's all good and essential can't be bad - especially from these distances.
Opposite of the above would be: working isolated in a loop... without encouraging contact ...working for bad people / state
...while not giving back or seeing what others have to give
...and reading the news in a bad loop #doomscrolling as I do (and need your help to get out of!) ... only to complain about my adding to it.
So feeding yourself better comes building others in trust and people upwards not downwards pushing. Therefore:
Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help 🎈 WIN:WIN:WIN 🎈 for us all in this world ...or at least #Fediverse to start with.
📖 Towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people... but also not over-specialising...
I'm here to broaden your like as a friendly person and to encourage your own thoughts *and* action to happen.
We need to be appreciated and appreciate a few more - that alone is enough!
More togetherness means more ☑️ correct communication ☑️
to get there (and balance)...
Short "ism" or short reading by people kills the planet and those people don't read deeply and fall into newspaper tabloid headlines (also short) and reacting too much almost as an #addiction.
#CONSTRUCT YOUR #DREAMS !
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both!).
Don't be afraid to share - even though it might be natural to try pull back. I don't think there is another way around this by carefully sharing and doing it with bad people filtered out (but not everyone filtered out as we all lose that way being cut off) .
Aagain measuring me and you (and others) we can avoid killing ourselves and others killing us (directly and indirectly) for profit (it's all linked back to banks and state who as root don't #care). So while we pretend to be '#independent' (which doesn't exist or very lightly does) I think we can truly undo things 1 at a time or just by not using things too much like #AI etc.
Those who feed from #mainstream (from the people behind it) surely will mess up again and see less and less gains over time). Short-term some AI benefit but long term chained-to-machine type stuff and robots judging us (robots are just people / leaders behind it controlling..)
🗨️ I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Consider *developing people* (or just me) at the same time in your work also - not just #developing machine code, but #decent people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...
If people's lives are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get !
The cold Matrix system is all using $computers and #tech.
And that tech is being bought or regulated by the likes of #Musk / #Trump / #Bezos etc mostly since they have more leverage against everyone and using #banks also as negative force / debt generators.
In the end we lose with only tech, even with Mastodon without regular chats!
(yes computers are too fast and even nice things get used badly but only we can stop it (by developing better people to use better things in a better way). Give me a hammer and I won't break windows.
Working on better people is the better way at the end..

Now that I’ve preordered the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange, I’m brainstorming names for it while I patiently await next Friday.
I’d love to hear some of your suggestions!
Praying #Mastodon / #Fediverse, come on over to the stream and let's add your flag. We've had a truly global prayer walk today: so far of those who've spoken up, we’ve had folks from #Canada, #Greece, #Kenya, #Mexico, #Paraguay, #Pakistan, #India and my home, the #UnitedStates. It's neat seeing people praying from so many places in parallel! https://faithtreecf.org/prayerWalk/
@anewsocial to me this is an #AntiFeature cuz I explicitly chose the #Fediverse over #Shitter, #BrownSky & #NSAbook for valid reasons.
Thx!

Moon Phases
In our entire solar system, the only object that shines with its own light is the Sun. That light always beams onto Earth and Moon from the direction of the Sun, illuminating half of our planet in its orbit and reflecting off the surface of the Moon to create moonlight. Sometimes the entire face of the Moon glows brightly. Other times we see only a thin crescent of light. Sometimes the Moon seems to disappear. These shifts are called moon phases.
The eight lunar phases are, in order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The cycle repeats about once a month (every 29.5 days).
Like Earth, the Moon has a day side and a night side, which change as the Moon rotates. The Sun always illuminates half of the Moon while the other half remains dark, but how much we are able to see of that illuminated half changes as the Moon travels through its orbit.

All Moon Phases
Let’s take a look at the individual phases, and how the movements of the Moon and Sun appear to us as we watch from the Northern Hemisphere on Earth.

Overview From Space
The Moon orbits Earth from a viewpoint above the North Pole in this animation. The blue gridlines show how the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. The size of the Earth and Moon are enlarged 20 times.

The latest Trunk & Tidbits Mastodon blog post highlights all the recent work on the upcoming quote posts.
"The feature is nearly finished, and you can expect a full blog post on it very soon!"

As FediTips helpfully explains here, you can already set your quote posting privacy preferences ahead of the feature's release:
https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115062415406387422
Also, my hope is that the Mastodon part of the fediverse can keep it together once quote posts are available, and use them responsibly and with respect for each other.
Has anyone else noticed that Mastodon is trying to essentially force you to include alt text for images now? It drives me insane having to exit that stupid popup every time I post an image.
I get that some folks have various eye issues, and I feel for them, but I really don't get the point of the alt text concept.
I tried: https://a.gup.pe/u/opensource
And instead of the group page I got the page shown in the attached image.
Hello and good morning fellow #Fediverse friends.
What are we all up to today and what do we have planned? I’m still home sick until Thursday at least. I’m hoping this gets better now that I have medicine and know what it is. I’ll just be resting and catching up on schoolwork that I’m behind on.
Then I’ll be watching the Apple Event of course.
Will you be ordering any of the new Apple products that will get announced today?
Please BOOST for maximum exposure to the #Fediverse
Comment with what you hope to be announced and hope to order/purchase.
