I hope to add more documentaries these days to VN and work more on a new tromjaro ISO. Today I also met an octopus and it touched my hand and is weird as fuck - so powerful these little things are. I may make a blog post about that. We found a place here in our town where there are several such creatures and they are friendly as fuck. One took my gopro for a spin haha. And filmed herself. So yah, I am taking it more easily these days. Relax more. Play more. Next week I plan to 100% finish with the TROM II recordings. Need to film Aaron for 15 or so more minutes, reading something. Then finally and lastly to record @Sasha . Maybe then I may record myself again for a few minutes, but am not sure. All websites work well. @Alexio helps with seeding VN stuff; and yah, I love when things work and I don't have to worry about that :D. #tromlive

People who think cryptocurrencies are better than money, know nothing about how our society works. Period.

They do not understand what currencies are, what trade is, how data collection, ads, jobs, or laws, are part of the same monster that is this trade-based society. They do not, do not, do not and do not understand that our worldwide society (from china to canada, europe to africa, us to russia), is almost 100% based on trade. That's all it is, regardless of the political system in place. And thus, same society, has same goals and outcomes: profit, inequality, waste, pollution, destruction of the environment and humans, slavery, bad products, fast fashion, and so forth.

Cryptocurrencies are juts another currency, and like money or other tokens, has the same trajectory. Pointless and wasteful. #tromlive

So I wanted to do a simple video editing today on Linux: we have several videos, some landscape, some portrait. To add them all together, and rotate the portrait ones to landscape. Plus do some color adjustments for all at once. Kdenlive is great overall, but rotating is a joke if you want a simple rotate 90degrees and such. You have to rotate manually and hope for the best + zoom in since the clip may not fit the edges....Pitivi, Openshot, Shotcut, Flowblade....they seem designed by the ones who code them :D. No but honestly if you want a great software you should detach the ones who code them from those who design them. Design should be intuitive, simple, known.

It stressed me out haha. Kudos for people making these tools, and I promote and use them daily....but yah, we ended up not rotating and color fixing any video...

I used to make websites since early 2000 and yah I noticed this change. Websites nowadays are a piece of shit. Full of ads, full of click here, see this, infinite scroll, and all that. Our trade-based society changes websites, products, services, wishes, and minds altogether. There is no escape... #tromlive

I plan to send notifications to all users a day before we will update any of the following: social.trom.tf (friendica), files.trom.tf (nextcloud), videos.trom.tf (peertube), office.trom.tf (cryptpad). So users are aware. Imagine if you want to do a live on peertube, or post on friendica and such, and we upgrade and cancel whatever you were doing. Not nice. We want trom.tf to be a proper project ;). #tromlive

She has more videos with it. We may make a compilation. We went today to try and contact this alien again but it was not there anymore...such wonderful creatures!

We recorded Georgi a bit more today. That's it for her ;). These next weeks will finish the TROM II recordings. Then we have to move out and I'll kill myself. haha. No, is ok...we will move to my parents. They have an empty room. I will do my best to then work on editing the footage for TROM II. It is unfortunate I do not even have a proper environment to work on this, but I will go back to my original place, my original room, where I created the first TROM. Sounds romantic but is less so when you understand I do this because I am poor as fuck :D. Today I felt quite down because of these kind of things but well....this society is evil as shit if you, as a human being, can't even survive unless you struggle to trade yourself all of your life. There is no "default" state in this society. No one deserves, it seems, to be alive unless they play the game of trade. We really have to change this. I don't accept it! #tromlive

haha well we see in landscape mode and through-the-fence you can barely see anything...so..

As for testing some OS for the phone and tweaking it to be trade-free, if it was as easy I would have done it :D. Maybe a trade-free manjaro os spin....who knows...but I am already full of stuff to do...I can't really take on this challenge.

And out of curiosity: you use a phone much? If so isn't it a pain in the ass to have such a small screen and have the notifications and updates and all that with you in the pocket all the time? :D

Phone has small screen, true. But its not like I'm watching movies and documentaries on it, I use it for social media, youtube, doing quick web searches etc. I don't get too many notifications on my device, only important ones. Phones are this popular cause of its compact nature, bring it anywhere, use it anywhere, single hand usage etc.

I use PC for watching movies and documentaries, linux stuff - terminal, keyboard, vim, shell scripting, etc. Its a more focused environment for me I guess

I feel like phones are only meant for consuming things. Like you can't create anything with them more than comments and posts on social networks :D. And I gave them a try. Tablets too. Ofc I do a ton of stuff on my computer so.....

I agree phones can be useful (for sure), but with today's online trades they will eat your life away :D.

I tried to install custom OSes on a few devices in the past and it was mighty difficult + because nowadays new phones come out more often than periods for teenage girls, it is likely you won't get a proper OS to work on your device. Hard to keep up with new models, and harder to root them. On top of that I am not motivated to do so at the moment. I use my phone like a phone to keep in touch with my parents. For example lineageos.org/ does not support my phone model...

But, when Linux phones will become a thing, and I have money, I'd like to give them a try.

Do you often use the linux terminal ?
I think that's the coolest thing about linux phones, you can automate stuff by writing shell scripts. I once tried a terminal app called termux which runs on Android, and the entire experience sucked cause I couldn't use the terminal without keyboard and a big screen, lol 😂. I think the same can happen to linux phones, but its still much better.

From what I understand, Google changes the way it renders the HTML elements so invidious cannot see the comments, channels, or whatever, and thus parts of invidious fail. But now, since I know we can pull from their git directly via the ynh package, it means that we can keep our instance up to date and probably working.

It is a race between youtube and the invidious dev. Youtube changes things, invidious dev have to fix it. But since many invidious instances may not keep their instances up to date, then that's why they break.

So yah, let's see, but if you keep your invidious up to date it should work.

This is how you can connect Twitter with social.trom.tf and give up Twitter for good:#tromlive

Connect with Twitter


!Tips and Help (social.trom.tf) It is possible to connect with your Twitter account now. Simply go to Settings - Social Networks. Click Twitter and click to connect. You'll be redirected to a Twitter page to authorize our app. Get the code, add it to your settings page. That's all.

Now you can follow people on Twitter and interact with them from social.trom.tf. In theory you should also be able to post on Twitter, however from my tests it did not work.

In any case, this is a way for you to give up the trade-based ad-network that is Twitter, and use the trade-free social network social.trom.tf :).

Isn't there an app for phones that records in landscape mode regardless of how you hold your phone? The internet is invaded by videos and photos taken through a fence. This is how I imagine people taking photos and videos nowadays:

C0mon there should be an app that does that...you can even make it look through-the-fence while holding your phone in portrait mode, like cropping a wide video into a through-the-fence one for your own entertainment, and then if you tilt the phone in landscape mode, to be the full wide shot. Am I an inventor or what?

But yah idk...maybe I am too old for this and I don't use phones much at all. But seeing the world through-a-fence makes me dizzy.

Yah, recycling is like trying to save a sinking ship with a fork. Good luck getting the water out of that ship with your tiny fork. As long as people forget to ask what creates this polluting situation in the first place, they will never fix it. it is like homeopathy: a "solution" to a misunderstood problem. Thus, this is no solution. #tromlive
