For those who understand Spanish this is a recent review of TROMjaro in Spanish ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=eto-8S1lbW… - many thanks to those who review TROMjaro. Not only that TROMjaro is a very good Linux distribution and quite unique, but the idea behind is the important bit. The promotion of trade-free software. A purely free software that wants nothing from you. Not your data, not your attention, not your currency.

We released TROMjaro 4 years ago and for the past year or so more and more people discovered our distro, and thus came across our main TROM project. This is fantastic!

hehe - it is a very positive review. He talks about the trade free idea too, which is great.


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/.

Join us!

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Two TROM tools have been deleted: our TROM quiz that was based on outdated knowledge and a very outdated plugin, and our TROM "social" (social.tromsite.com) that contained a lot of "memes" - images containing snippets from our books. These too were outdated in many ways and we do not want to "play the social network game" by regurgitating the same "memes" and resharing them on our networks.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.

And our FAQ for that matter. Not updated in a long time. I'll find a better solution for that.


Our Invidious instance won't show up the popular/trending stupidities anymore, but a simple page:


Let's not make ourselves dumber and dumber :D.

It is up to you what you search for, but we do not want to promote the youtube garbage collection.

Another good review of TROMjaro ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=S5EoTO7bOq…

Especially when the ones reviewing our distro focus a bit on the trade-free idea. That's the most important part of it all. #tromlive

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 😊

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.

in reply to TROM

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.

in reply to TROM

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!
