TROM Search (searxng), and Translate (lingva) are trade-free (TF) interfaces for trade-based services. And they may or may not work. Now we make sure people understand that:

Bibliogram (TF for Instagram), Teddit (TF interface for Reddit), and Invidious (TF for Youtube) were also removed in the past, because they either didn't work at all, or it was nearly impossible to keep them functional.

All of these TF interfaces are either a pain to develop, deploy and maintain, or they do not work anymore. Our server IP is getting limited or blocked by these big companies, so it is not a good idea to try and host them. Simply put these companies want for people to use their platforms to see ads and collect their data, or sell shit to them. If you still use them, then you should considering ditching them!

In the end these are not alternatives to trade-based services, they are interfaces for these services. So for example we rely on Friendica instead of Facebook, because Friendica is a true alternative. A different social network! Same when we rely on Peertube instead of Youtube. Or Nextcloud instead of Google Drive, and so forth. These and more, are the true services that we provide via trom.tf/ !

Yes, most videos are on Youtube and it will take a long time until we could match that on Peertube, so for now keep calm and use FreeTube (local TF interface for Youtube), and keep on posting on Peertube!

Yes Reddit has a lot of interesting content. So use an ad and tracker blocker! And give Lemmy a try!

In the near future we will replace the TROM Translate with a proper Translation engine that we run on our server. As for a search engine it is damn tricky....we do not know what alternative there is.

And please consider supporting us here tromsite.com/donate/ so that we keep on providing real Trade Free alternatives to what has become a cancer of the Internet world: Google, Facebook, Twitter and the like.

Ok people, my ZDay talk is available now: ZDay: How to Grow a Saner Society. A Lifetime Adventure --- by Tio videos.trom.tf/w/d5wwwrwGD7D3E…

We do not have a better audio, I am sorry. We did not know that they would not record directly from the mic itself so we used the camera's mic. If we knew, I would have taken my lavmic.

Anyway I edited it a bit. I hope you enjoy it and I hope I can do more!

Mind you, we already have a caption but it is not proofread yet. If you want to help with the translations join our TROM Translation chat - matrix.to/#/#translation:matri…

ZDay: How to Grow a Saner Society. A Lifetime Adventure (bad audio)

On 26th of August, 2023, we presented TROM at the annual ZDay event in Prague. This was the last ZDay after a decade long of making them every year.

Our presentation was focused on showcasing in a unique way how our society works and how trade is at the core of most of our issues. In the second half we focused on the positive side: how we and others create trade-free good and services and why this can become a tsunami movement if more of us engage into it, in a decentralized way.

We put a lot of effort into creating a simple narrative and interesting slides with animations, to make it all more fun and easy to understand.

This was the first presentation for Tio and we hope more to follow.

Hey people,

On the 26th of August, in less than 2 weeks, I (Tio) will go to Prague for the last ZDay event. ZDay, or Zeitgeist Day, is a global yearly event organized by the Zeitgeist Movement (TZM). It is meant to invite people from all around the world to present similar ideas to those that Zeitgeist stands behind. TROM started soon after the Zeitgeist Movement sparked into existence as the activism arm of The Venus Project. Our views are very similar and we are heading towards the same direction.

The event will be in Prague at the Spojka Karlín Events on 26th this month. It will start on 12:00 and end at 18:00. There will be 6 speakers in total. 4 will do their presentations in Czech and 2 in English (one of them is me). This is the official website for the event zeitgeistmovement.cz/2023/07/1…

All of the presentations will be translated live via personal headphones that the audience can wear. The event can host up to 120 people and over 50 seats are already booked. In order to participate you have to book here cloud.tzm.community/apps/forms…

It does not cost money to participate.

My talk will be called "How to Grow a Saner Society. A Lifetime Adventure." and I will try to keep it more positive. I will talk about our trade-free approach, the TROM.tf project, and a lot more. But I will try to put it all in a new unique perspective. The talk will be 30-40 minutes long and it will be recorded. We will upload it to our Peertube whenever it will be available.

This is a first for me, so let's see how it goes. If you want to meet up, please come to the Prague event if you can! 5 of us from TROM will be there including Roma, Aaron, Vicky and Rafa.

Protecting River in Montenegro / Save Komarnica

In May I joined Protest - Educative camp "Save Komarnica" in Montenegro. Komarnica is a wild river which is under a threat of hydro power plant. If it will be build it will destroy the river, local ecosystem, many species will go extinct and also it will block migration routes for the fish. It also will bring only tiny amount of electricity.

Here is the story about the camp and organization who fight to protect Komarnica.
