We have removed most mirroring accounts from our Friendica instance that we have created. These were zombie accounts pulling from RSS sources and reposting on the fediverse. There is no need to spam the fediverse and anyone can follow any RSS feed via our social network anyway.
We've also updated our TROM Videos and it is fantastic that there is a new feature which stops bots from registering. All accounts need to provide a reason why they want to join our platform, like our TROM Social already does, and these accounts are not public unless we manually approve them. This will cut down the spambots registrations by a huge factor. We were bombarded with several bot-made accounts daily.
We will make our TROM Videos more exciting this year, by creating more videos but also by trying to invite others to join the platform. This is where TROM II will be released, and not on Youtube mind you. We have to move away from the trade-based platforms like youtube, facebook, twitter and the like, to alternative ones that are trade-free like we provide via trom.tf/.

We are planing to release the TROM II documentary in May. It should be around 5 hours long, divided into 4 parts. It was a massive amount of work and right now we work to do the final edits and prepare it for the release. #tromlive
Two TROM tools have been deleted: our TROM quiz that was based on outdated knowledge and a very outdated plugin, and our TROM "social" (social.tromsite.com) that contained a lot of "memes" - images containing snippets from our books. These too were outdated in many ways and we do not want to "play the social network game" by regurgitating the same "memes" and resharing them on our networks. We need new content that is more relevant.
These two tools, although we put a ton of effort into making them, were outdated. We will do more cleaning for the website in preparation for the new TROM II documentary.
TROM will become more active after the release of the documentary.
Trom - Jaro | Manjar Based Spin | Trade Free Linux Distro | The Linux Tube
A TRADE-FREE OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON MANJARO LINUX
Designed for your brain, but you can install it on a computer.
Its nice to see TROMjaro getting more attention these days, lots of reviewers are taking a look at it and they like it for the most part. I'm glad to be a part of this small distro 🙂
I did wrote the code for it but you're the one who did all the research and found out the XFCE commands we needed, and you also designed all those beautiful layout buttons, couldn't have done it without you 😊

School can be seen as an abusive and inefficient system that has little to nothing to do with "education".
Children are forced to wake up at a certain hour, every day, 5 days a week, for 12 years. They are categorized by ages and their "knowledge" level. School creates a competition between the kids, makes then hate science and learning in general, it is a boring and colorless place for these young minds, and overall ends up not teaching children much at all about the world we live in.
In a trade-based society the parents NEED to trade themselves in a job, so these kids need to be "livestocked" somehow. That's what school is, a place where kids can be while their parents trade to survive in this society. More to that, Universities almost exclusively prepare these young creatures to become workers, like their parents.
All in all, kids go to school to compete, memorize, get ready to be work

All in all, kids go to school to compete, memorize, get ready to be workers. NOT to be EDUCATED.
If humans could have a decent life without trading in this society, they could have the time to engage with their kids, discover, learn, enjoy. And schools could be places where kids of all ages can go because they want to. A place where experts can teach them about the world and how to do something productive.
EXAMPLES:
Tell kids: See this red dot? This is the farthest thing we can take a photo off. They call it a "star". And you show them a real photo taken by the WEBB telescope. From there on you and your class of kids will investigate what this red dot is, and in the process you'll teach kids about light, physics, maths, distances, stars, the universe.
Or show kids a real dinosaur bone and tell them: Our mission is to understand how old it is and what creature this is. And thus you can go into a journey of discovering what geology is, paleontology, rocks and fossils, and so forth.
Or tell them that our mission is to build a robot. And they will learn mechanics, programming and so forth.
We could create real schools where kids can become curious and learn so much about our world. So that they can become the next Einsteins, the next Teslas, the next ones who can discover new things.
That's the world we should have had by now....
And we wont be able to have it unless we change the trade-based society into a tradeless society. Where humans are not forced to trade in order to survive. Where humans like "teachers" can engage and develop such schools as explained above, to have time for that, not to go to school because that's their job since they have to pay their rent so they are forced to do it.
We create documentaries out of our eBooks. These documentaries are entirely based on the books themselves but they may differ here and there in terms of the script and overall presentation, but in general they are the same as the books. All sources for all of our videos are greatly detailed/sourced in the books they are based upon. These videos are also available without the narration voice so anyone can dub them into any language.
TROM Office will be removed from trom.tf/ towards the end of this year. This is a Cryptpad instance and here are the reasons:
1. We already provide a full Office Suite via TROM Files that is far better than the one provided by Cryptpad. 2. Sure, you need an account for TROM Files, but if you want a quick way to create a document we already have TROM Text. 3. We also have TROM Sketch in case you want to draw.
Therefore Cryptpad was not adding anything new. The last drop that filled the glass of decisions was that Cryptpad is offensively aggressive in the way that they inject the donate buttons in the app itself. Popups, multiple buttons, and so forth. Totally understandable that these projects need financial support but this way of asking for support is way too aggressive. On top of that they are changing the design of their service quite a lot and it is quite difficult to customize it, so every update breaks our clean TROM design.
Therefore no more Cryptpad.
Do not worry, it will be around for many months from now on, but it will not be visible from our main TROM page.

Just so everyone knows, boobs and genitalia are not bad. They can cause a lot of pleasure. Penises too. And overall the naked human body.
Therefore we won't remove any video from our Peertube instance just because some people are too sensitive to the naked body. You know, you too heave one. Enjoy it!
Guns, poverty, wars, violent games, ads, and so forth, are the ones we should stay away from and consider unacceptable. Not the naked human body.
That was a video from @toplesstopics and its not even porn, like its just a video of her talking about a photoshoot she did which contained some artistic nudity. I don't understand why people are so afraid of human skin, no one's forcing them to watch.
That being said, if videos from an account is showing up even after banning then that's probably a bug that needs to be reported to #Peertube. Asking the admin of another instance to take the video out is not the way to solve this issue.
jeez. Thanks for not being a puritanical American jerk. Your peertube instance is one of the incredible minority of platforms online, big and small, that allows nonsexual nudity but NOT porn and NOT violence and hatespeech...until that someday-maybe idyllic future where major corps decide it's more profitable to support progressive causes like gender-equal anti-censorship instead of making superstars out of right-wing hatemongers, I will be forever grateful to you for giving me a "safe space" to upload my heinous nonsexual female nipples to!

Today I take a first look at TROMJaro, a Manjaro-based, XFCE distro that has a lot of awesome customizations.

Before the TROM II documentary will be released we will do a cleanup for tromsite.com. For example there are a few books that are outdated or not relevant/factual anymore and they will be removed. We will make this all public. Or our quizzes and other tools that are not relevant anymore, will be removed.
We need to keep TROM up to date and relevant. No point in dragging outdated materials/tools.
The usual Manjaro updates plus: We switched to the new kernel, 6.1 LTS - Long Time Support. This kernel brings a lot of hardware improvements. I know from experience that my new laptop had no working speakers, and a lot of other issues.
