Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. tromsite.com/trom-backup/
To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.
Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

In January 2022, Lufthansa admitted it had operated over 18,000 empty flights to keep airport slots during the pandemic.
And they are not the only ones. Read more here.
Welcome to Earth, where trade is the main practice that everyone is a follower of, willingly or not. Where humans care mostly, if not entirely, about trade and how to maximize their advantage.
How can we get ourselves out of this shit, unless we start by understanding what the shit is made of!?
First: understand the problem. TRADE. The fact that we've built a society where you cannot survive unless you trade this for that. Once we understand this, hopefully we can tackle it. Give people a way to have a decent life, access to at least their basic needs as trade-free, and then try to replace more and more trade-based services (like say transportation) with trade-free alternatives.
Volunteers plus trade-free goods/services can create more of them, replicating over time and replacing the cancerous trade-based practices.

Hey folks, it's time to break up from capitalism that's destroying everything! Buy my book, I'll tell you all about it!
The irony of this society is astonishing.
Insane world.

Thank you Matthew Bass for becoming the 43rd TROM Supporter! tromsite.com/donate/ - we still need some 160 more to donate 5 Euros a month but maybe little by little we will reach our goal!

We have 2 weeks to raise 300 Euros to pay for our yearly backups for everything that we do for TROM. From TROM.tf services to our materials, our Nextcloud instances and everything in between. If you can please donate here tromsite.com/trom-backup/
If we cannot cover the costs of the backups then we will cut the backups short and not backup several of our services for more than a day or two. This will lead to the future cuts we will do at the end of the year if we cannot get enough financial support for TROM overall tromsite.com/donate/. It is unfortunate and I (Tio) will do my best to keep this project active and relevant, but I cannot run 20+ projects without enough financial support.
It is unfortunate and it makes me very depressed to accept that, but I am ready to accept it if by the end of the year nothing major changes in regards to the financial support we are receiving for TROM.
I will still do my best to start a new video series for TROM this year and will see what more.
Much respect for those who are still supporting TROM financially after so many years.

in reply to Tio • •Some time ago there was an album of singer Jack Johnson who with it was fighting the plastic pollution. He made a nice music video collecting plastic on a beach, and was promoting especially problem on the beaches of Hawaii, of course the album was in a plastic CD format :)
I pointed out that in the comments, and I believe his manager replied that if I don't want CD i can buy digital download :) But the fact that they are selling hundreds of thousands of plastic CD's haven't confused him at all :)
