   Human Change?=Work Together!🔁 (freeschool@qoto.org)'s status on Thursday, 17-Apr-2025 04:26:59 JST Human Change?=Work Together!🔁

   in reply to

   @freemo Slow process is ok freemo as long as it surely achieves something right for those people involved.

   However it's also true these people might not even know what that is for themselves and just join and leave like anything else.

   I actually wouldn't need all that and see myself more of an organiser / creator / helper to see who and what there is to work with more in the now first - not need to wait really and attract those that can communicate (foremost perhaps) and help (themselves or others) and be interested in helping (yes it's not perfect either as who wants to help right?) but there will be a bit of a focus too to attract others and create something that sings to people in different ways since it can be accessible to everyone... now... if they can be a bit social about it (which is the doomed part here perhaps admittedly with or without membership).

   ================
   MORE IF YOU WANT IT
   else leave it for later...
   ================

   Just getting some communication going about what people want and can do (outside of just code) would be great and part of my idea to get some action going without anything other than Mastodon as safer software base and simplest to do the communication...

   You are perhaps MVP here, not just as owner but good because you work well with words / people (again communication). I'm not actually sure about anyone else on the whole internet or even planet - maybe 2 others - honestly... I have tried in person and online almost all my life...

   ...and they aren't as consistent as you, have family problems, add a whole list etc, Just a big fail if I'm honest / perhaps jumped into too many containers / responsibilities to manage them properly / damage themselves and others.

   So I'm wary of membership / US company right now (for many reasons) but also just before a few more tests, because it's jumping into 'another' unknown container / another 'project' first - and if that also means the name-and-number-passport-control - then count me out or count for a different way first.

   If that stops my progress here then it's also evident which comes first / is priority.

   The real work I / we need to do needs a mix of people in and out of things - and all that to inter-work together - so for me real change is something else first as eco-system I describe below.

   BUT YOU CAN SKIP THIS, I'm sure I've said it before and if I had search working I'd like to my more optimised posts.

   So for now...

   If I can work with others who can already see me here and visibly flag anything I believe that's already enough without needing more or assuming more political attachments / extensions of existing ones (setting up a company inside the bigger company.

   American company I assume.

   What I see everywhere is certainly limited / doomed by deliberate-design (for-profit or not) and this is not some rant either ! You get more with me and eventually that kind of politics or transparency is some of the best / highest we need.

   People argue usually at the end and all the crap comes out at the worse time :) You can think about all this and really put certain pieces first...

   Otherwise same happens in a trace-back kind of system (which maybe I'm over-judging but still worth saying) so that once you get close to actually changing things (if you do) then it's just as easy to eliminate / take over / #rugpull / drag you into legal.

   Ironically if it's really reallt not-for-profit and doing it's worse sometimes.

   ANYWAY AGAIN NO NEED READ THIS, EVEN I SAVED MY OWN TIME RE-READING IT :)

   The way I do things protects me and future "them" / generation while keeping it among the people / us a bit more and ethereal so we constantly keep working. I'm not totally invisible but essentially less asking for baggage and what we need to do a bit more purely ourselves anyway as it's all hole-in-bucket / fight-for-us or starve / no free-lunch unless really here in this context...

   I'd personally like to give what I can and be observed / guided by everyone and have the people that I can communicate with as my feedback gauge - their testimony representing the work done and needed to do.

   I'd like to be more transparent in that and help people feel it's ok for pseudonyms online again and increment trust (even to expose me / their own insecurities is fine too!). This is actively saying more here rather than to con anyone or believe any terms and conditions members will have read or have money involved is going to help than much more in my interested. People already do their own thing, it would just funnel it here more...

   Not being combative or a rebel here - just people are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from your level so it's mostly FAIL here and everywhere, just with donation buttons. Can't even contribute to them.

   So if I hear from anyone else in QOTO then I'll try them too but not before anything, not the other way around.

   Ideally QOTO would let me do my thing, as usual almost, but under a bit of guidance and crowd-help since I'm the one having a kind of "badge for testing" around here or "creating a vehicle to help people grow things more organically according to what they individually want for them or in life" as any title to see the produce from the people as we go (we all have tons of shit to play with).

   It is a bit different and consistently ad-hoc adding people's own material and life, but I'm not sure what else actually works if communications are near-0 and not worked on AS THE WORK to improve with or without titles... so yes logo / badge here might not even be enough for people outside of QOTO because there's not much social in the world - just re-blogging or hanging around emotional #trump / #musk hashtags killing time rather than actually doing things with our own things....

   (...but if you're reading this and not freemo, as long as it's your stuff we can all re-mix / use as components and create to see what happens from those that are here for similar reasons!)

   So, rather than set up a "matrix" or that whole bunch of things first to jump into. I'd like to see who there is first in that company and not conclude all your members are also non-speakers :)

   ⛔ People who like talking to machines more than anything else are surely not the way for future human people.

   This writing may be over-writing it all but one thing I've learnt over time is that learning others to work with is very important
   (BOTH at the start or in the end it) as it all comes back to these things.

   Saying it all more than not should eventually be better if not for me than others who are still needing it said to decide themselves.

   For now - seeing who I can work with a bit more / feeding me is anyway the case until we see what else created might be different in the world. (remember what I said helping the homeless - it's is not just about the giving of money, - goes much beyond that hole-in-bucket system - same goes for this even as not-for-profit it's all using banks as bad buckets / war funding ).

   ===========
   END PART....
   ===========

   All this can seem cart-before-horse (front wheel drive for cars
   let's say) but it can all still work and has done... if we simple let it and create our own system / ways... and just observe over time what works for people (again they need to see to believe and that's only by doing a bit first like first party-dancer on their own).

   So I need that badge / t-shirt lol... ok I've said badge but anything that helps people feel ok about doing social more (which is hard) or helps them feel more part of a unit or project (not just $tate-owned sub-company container).

   Anyway I wrote all that quick as there is a bit of politics in everything - so it's said first as it might take your years to get why not using what is given by arguably bad hands for you to work in as container (again happy if they exist a bit but other things have to exist more now to help really solve things or not contribute to the bad).,

   and I truly would like QOTO as a social thing to respect it's acronym - getting people together as the work, seeing better articulation and participation as a go-to server of sorts. perhaps a bit more loosely / no pay-gate way and few good people stewarding can increase mass / traffic / pooling for projects a bit more than forums still do today for similar reasons between people.

   If you're feeling like the world is falling apart around you and that there's nothing that you can do to make things better...

   Volunteer.

   Find a food bank, a shelter, a hospice, a senior center. Find some place where you can lend your time towards the service of others.

   Volunteering is a great way to do something worthwhile for your community. It takes us out of our own troubles, and focuses that energy on helping others.

   So go volunteer. Help yourself by helping others.

   @silberfuchs

   Something that I think was not clear to me and maybe to many more people at the beginning: We all have an idea to not say anything incriminating during an interrogation, but cops will be fishing for *any* information at *all* times, and they will use sketchy emotional strategies to catch you off guard or provoke a reaction. A formal interrogation in a room is 1% of it.

   **Edit**: Details about laws in these examples are specific to Germany, but the general idea and cop behaviour apply universally.

   "Good cop" in my experience looks less like the nice detective from the cop show, and more like a non-cop-looking woman in cleaning lady clothes coming to you at the corridor and asking if you would like a cup of coffee. If you accept the next question will be "are you doing OK?" or "are you being mistreated? would you like to file a complaint? I can ask for a female officer if you prefer." This is a trick. Your emotions are high, you'll be thirstier for support and a bit of fucking humanity than you can imagine right now, and they'll deliberately exploit that to get you to slip more info, about yourself and others.

   So your answer to "would you like a cup of coffee" is silence. If you're pressured to say something that's not silence, you say "no comment". "Is this your first time here?" No comment. "If you don't follow the proper procedure we'll have to hold you for longer" no comment. "You know, I don't really want to do this, actually I'm really proud that young people like you are taking a stand, this is just my job, can we just get this done so you can leave earlier?" No. Comment.

   "Bad cop" in my experience looks less like the tough guy Dick Tracy slamming on the table, and more like snarky xenophobic or transphobic remarks, or punching protesters under the banner where the cameras can't record it, more to rub on your face that they can do what they want than to hurt, angling for a reaction; or flashing a heil hitler from the van when they pass antifas. If a cop shows my gender marker to others and make mocking comments and I say "that's transphobia and it's illegal", I fall into the trap. This will start a conversation and in the conversation they'll have all sorts of *other* tricks to enrage and scare and provoke you to talk. Complaints are to be filed with a cool head and through your lawyer.

   They get you angry enough to return an abusive insult with "fuck you, you bigot"? Congrats, you just did a crime. Furthermore, anger leads to mistakes. At one protest, a cop doing a torture hold on my hand while dragging me around whispered on my ear like, "had enough? I can do much more". The beard of this creep rubbing on my ear while he got off on hurting girls got me so pissed, so eager to be a hero of the resistance, to defy them even harder and prove that pain won't break me, that I refused to show my ID when requested later. Had he not said the thing, I would have been clear-thinking enough to remember that refusing to show the ID, in my particular situation, would just give them a pretext to fingerprint me anyway while increasing my punishment.

   Cop walking with you on the corridor: "We know you broke the Starbucks window at the protest, we have you on camera." You, indignantly: "That's preposterous, I was at the other side of the march, I have witnesses!" Now you just helped the cops figure out that one of the other 3 comrades they detained is the culprit, and in addition they get some fresh new witnesses to do their manipulations on.

   A trick I heard of: Cop: "We have a complaint that you have been photographing those right-wing protesters, that's illegal." (It's not actually illegal to take photos here, only to publish them; it's also not illegal to photograph cops doing abuse; but they often will tell you it is.) "You must delete the photos from your gallery immediately." (This is not a thing they can demand, but they will anyway.) You, indignantly: "I have no photos of them, look!" Cop will swiftly grab your unlocked cellphone from your hand and take his time scrolling through all folders. Cops are not instant street prosecutors and can't accuse you of things. If an angry cop shouts and accuses you of a crime, you don't prove that you're innocent, you say nothing. "No comment". Criminal lawyers are trained to deal with this type of trick; leave your defense to them.

   Want to file a complaint about this type of illegal yet omnipresent cop behaviour? Good luck proving it, it's your word against theirs and who do you think the judges will side with, antifa radicals or cops?

   Mikola Dziadok from Belarus recounts that a favourite of cops who catch anarchists, in the post-Soviet world, is to do 4chan-ass political debate, like "you claim to be anarchist but you do judo, that's hierarchical!" Or for good cop, "in my heart I think anarchism makes sense, can you recommend me something to read?" (Your book recommendation is "no comment".)

   @beardalaxy
   BTW, there were recently many videos made of "game scams" or "fake games" talking about games quickly made in Epic games asset srtore, where the main argument always is, that the games aren't "real" because they are barebones, or just aren't what the trailer would imply.
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0apdf9SNSQ4

   But, I feel quite uncomfortable with this kind of thinking. And I think, that Pal world ironically enough hit the exacr inflection point between an asset swap and AAA game, where I can kinda see both sides of the argument.

   The game is fun. I do not believe, it will be a 40 or 400 hours fun, but the base mechanics are entertaining enough, to give you a unique experience. So, by one definition, it absolutely is a game.

   But, the true question is, is the money invested by players to the game will be used to develop it further. Because, while I am happy with a short experience kind of games, (Roark's Attack on Titan Fan Game being a great example), I can see why this would feel like a scam to others.

   So, I believe, that we are in fact missing a kind of vocabulary needed to describe a depth of a game. Because, the depth can no longer be recognized by a single glance.

   ------------------
   Excuse my rant. I am just not sure what to think about this topic myself TBH. Expecially, since I still am having more fun, then I would have playing for instance new Assassins creed. A game, that although, it is supposed to have all the depth in the world, considering it's budget... It feels still more shallow then this one.

   After a recent incident and the feeling that I seem to drive people away whenever they actually get to know me, I’m on the verge of just quitting the internet altogether.

   I feel like the world would be better without me, and that my presence just seems to unintentionally hurt others.

   So if I vanish from Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Mastodon, etc, that’s why.

   Goodbye.
