Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

The Internet Under the Sea
npr.org/2025/10/23/nx-s1-55823ā¦
> What powers the global internet? The answer might surprise you: not satellites, but hundreds of thin cables that run along the ocean floor. Theyāre an absolutely essential technology thatās also incredibly fragile ā so fragile that in the beginning, most people thought they couldn't possibly work. Today on the show: the story of a man who *did* think they could workā¦ and the lengths he went to to try and connect the world.

Hello Fediverse I want to make a short announcement about the social.trom.tf Friendica instance run by my friend @tio
Currently that instance is going through a big server migration process and it will take a couple of hours for it to get finished. So if you mention or send anyone messages during this time it might not reach them.

This video turned out to be more interesting than I thought. And also kinda sad to see how current politics is negatively impacting science missions.

Do Animals Understand Death?

Perhaps there is something else happening on the 20th of every month giving her a que that it's that time, perhaps something she noticed on the day of her brother's passing so it reminds her of him. Either way, it's still pretty smart to be able to relate the memory of someone's death to something like that.... I'm sorry she passed away....
The Palestinian Buddhist Arrested by ICE

It really makes me feel better to see interviews like this one, to see there are people out there trying to make a difference and their honesty about it all. And you should definitely raise your voice for people like Mohsen because what is being done to him is unjust and illegal.
Not the kind of videos that the YouTube algorithm likes to promote so I'm sharing it here....

I feel like this video is an important one to share. I'm glad he also shed some light on the importance of publicly funded research, people don't seem to realize just how much of the science that comes out of private companies are built on studies from academia.

Why Democracy Is Mathematically Impossible

When we're talking about the flaws of democracy I think this is a big one, when our entire system of electing leaders has such fundamental flaws this will affect all aspects of politics.

Throughline: The Ghost in Your Phone
npr.org/2024/04/25/1198908739/ā¦
It's hot. A mother works outside, a baby strapped to her back. The two of them breathe in toxic dust, day after day. And they're just two of thousands, cramped so close together it's hard to move, all facing down the mountain of cobalt stone. Cobalt mining is one of the world's most dangerous jobs. And it's also one of the most essential: cobalt is what powers the batteries in your smartphone, your laptop, the electric car you felt good about buying. More than three-quarters of the world's cobalt supply lies in the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose abundant resources have drawn greed and grifters for centuries. Today on the show: the fight for control of those resources, and for the dignity of the people who produce them.
