We are releasing a new experimental feature for VideoNeat.com - The True Smart TV https://www.videoneat.com/tv/ - Designed to make people smart, not to collect their data or steal their attention.
All of the VideoNeat library condensed into a single thing. Enjoy growing a human mind, so we can prosper as a human species and move beyond this primitive trade-based society.

Here's the TROMjaro layout toggle we re working on:
Basically you'll be able to switch between the TROMjaro Modern with global menus and looking more like Unity, to TROMjaro Classic - without global menus and looking more like Windows.
With just one click. We can, in time, make several such layouts based on the same principle. We can even make it so that with one single click you transform your desktop into MacOS with themes and icons and all that. Not sure if it is worth it, but just saying that we can....
We work on some new cool things for TROMjaro like bringing back the Modern and Classic layouts and a way to switch between them in seconds. I really like TROMjaro and XFCE is really great. So customizable and yet not overwhelming. I took some break from TROM II these days but will get back to it very soon. #tromlive
It is an upside battle to grow a project like TROM. Back in 2011 I thought I'll make that massive documentary and I'm done. I'll forget about this retarded society. 10 years later and many hours of videos and thousands of pages of books + a ton of projects + and so many discussions, and I feel like I am in the same position as 10 years ago, only that now it is far more difficult to make people see this society for what it is.
The Internet camouflaged the trade society into something that looks cool and free. And abundant, and so new and fancy. People are so confused today, they think facebook, youtube and the like are free. Ads are part of their life and they do not see that as trading their attention, and data collection is the default. Jobs are rarely if ever questioned and money is only vilified by the crypto enthusiasts who are completely hypnotized by this new shinny money.
Capitalism, communism, other isms, seem to have been reinforced in people's heads over the past 10 years, despite them all being a mush of nothing-ideas.

Netflix, Spotify, and the like taught people that it is ok to pay for digital content, despite us being able to replicate it endlessly. This is a very depressing situation when even the digital and overly abundant and easily replicabale world is now traded and made scarce.
I am having discussions with people like I was having 10 or 15 years ago, who still believe people are greedy, and their understanding of this world is that capitalism is bad and needs to be "regulated". Same chewing gum, chewed by different people. No one asks simple questions like wtf are we doing on this planet. Do we really need jobs? Money? Ownership? In a society of so much abundance do we still have to play the same silly trade game? What is capitalism?
These are taboo questions that only seem to trigger emotions and not real discussions.
I spent so much time crafting the materials I have produced over the years, trying to dissect this society. I became obsessed with sourcing all of my claims over and over again, from reputable worldwide sources. But despite all that, despite these materials changing some minds here and there, for me personally nothing changed. The same silly discussions with normal people, who probably know how this society works by watching some movies or reading a book or two that are popular on amazon.
I am still here. And I am still listening to any criticism. But damn, it is hard when you start the same discussions over and over again for years and years. Trying to explain the same things..."No John, humans are not fuckin born greedy"...."No Emma, capitalism is not different from the implementation of socialism or communism.."...."No Mike, we can't fuckin regulate businesses and make them behave well."..... And, again, I detail these all with examples in our books....
Anyways....at times I feel down, very down, sucked into a black hole. If I could leave this planet I would. I'd take a few people and leave. #tromlive
Released a new TROMjaro ISO. Out of Beta, new apps menu, plus online searches from the menu itself. And a few more little things. forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…
From now on I really hope to release it a lot less often and with less changes. The ISO works great and all is fine....we don't need so many releases or changes :).
We are getting TROMjaro out of Beta. Not that it means much, but just so that people understand that it is stable enough. So this is the first non-beta release that comes with a few changes and explanations.
Today I am closing down musikwave.com. I started this website a few years ago just so that I could listen to music, ad-free. And for others who want that too.
Although I have to give up the TROMjaro Classic since it is too much work for me, the TROMjaro Modern (or the default one) will come with a proper APPS menu + WebApps integration, so anyone can make a webapp in seconds. Plus online integration with the menu so you can search for online videos, locations on the maps, download files, news, wikipedia, and so forth. All via our trom.tf services! #tromlive
"A man was beaten to death after allegedly attempting to commit a sacrilegious act at the Golden Temple in Amritsar." aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/19/…

"Footage showed the man jumping over the rail and into the temple’s central enclosure, where the holy book Guru Granth Sahib is kept, and picking up a sacred diamond-encrusted sword."
+
“While the employees were taking him to the office, some of the other devotees present in the shrine beat him up so much that he died upon reaching the office,”
Now let me translate it in proper language: a bunch of primitive children, killed another kid for touching their toys. Because they think that their toys are so important they do not have to be touched.
Replace "holy, religious, guru" with "crazy". Or "insane". Or "primitive". Your choice.

Go kill yourself society, you are very drunk and primitive. #tromlive
I really love TROMjaro. It is getting better and better. Thanks a to to @Future is FOSS who is helping a lot with a bunch of things, like custom scripts or testing it. Such a great human! Also thanks to @Alexio who mirrors our ISOs in multiple locations!
I have 80 new apps on the "to add" list to our library at tromjaro.com but I'd like for us to make custom icons for these too, like we did for them all, so that we also expand the Zafir icons theme more....but who can help with that!? Maybe I'll start to make some. Will see.... #tromlive
I didnt think that 32GB of RAM + 36GB of swap, wont be enough for my needs.....but it seems I max them out pretty quickly. Kdenlive eats around 20GB of RAM....when I work on TROM II. Plus a lot of other stuff I am doing....interesting...is software getting too bloated for our needs? Wasn't I working on the first TROM documentary with 512MB of RAM? And also just doing computer stuff with that...We have better computers nowadays but is the software worse? Plus websites and all that? Interesting... #tromlive
NFTs are as batshit crazy as it gets. And very representative of today's trade society going insane. Humans are being lifted from Planet Reality and into the Fantasy Land, by very powerful rockets at tremendous speeds. Imagine this, to sell the idea of digital "ownership". Like selling your first tweet, your dick pic, or a custom emoji. How retarded. Digital things that can be replicated billions or trillions of times.
That being said, everyone who sells digital stuff is equally as insane. Books, songs, software and so forth. Traders working hard to keep their digital stuff hard to copy, since copying is the easiest part of it all. Building walls is indeed difficult in the digital realm. But hey, they do that anyway.
I swear this world is getting so insane and idiotic that even my drive to poke fun at it is dying. I guess I'll have to keep on doing "my work". My trade free work. TROMjaro, TROM II, tromsite, videoneat, and the like....and try having a peaceful and relaxing life as much as possible, since this society is a shit show that's hard to even make fun of.

Go to bed society, you are on powerful drugs! #tromlive
Weren't games kinda doing this with in-game purchases? In a way those too are similar to NFTs. Like buying a skin for your player and such. But yah, anyway, crazy world...
True. They do it for years. But difference is that it was « in-game » currency, so you could buy other skins or in-game goods if you sold something. There were some black markets ofc, where people converted their in-game bucks to real value, but it wasn’t easy and some platforms are not trustworthy at all.
Now with NFT you can sold that shit for real crypto and potentially have good real money easier with support of giant companies, which ofc will take their interest from each transaction.
Agreed, there’s nothing new, again. But I kinda was kicked in the butt observing how every single good idea can is turned into trading hell. The games, which use that trading, can be dumb as hell, stupid shooters or whatever, in the same time having so much potential in education, for example. So you are not a gamer anymore, you are a fuckin’ trader!
Seriously, these guys can turn anything into fuckin’ dipshit market, lol 😅
Anyways, I totally with you on all of that.. The digital world, being so good platform to actually create abundance of things for everyone and share them, since copying stuff is matter of two clicks, now becomes another archaic market thing, which allows a bunch people to make even more money out of nothing, instead of using it to make life better for all people.
When you think it can't get crazier than this........ It does !
I'm afraid what kinda crazy shit show the world will be in a decade or two, maybe we'll invent immortality and charge a subscription fee for your life 🤯
So it took around 6h to render 1h. That's ok I guess. We watched the first part and I like it so far. It is hard to judge to be honest, after seeing it so many times while editing it. But I guess is ok. :)
Now I'll have to figure if I will continue with the same kdenlive project or start a new one. Now Kndelive takes about 2 or so hours to open. I'd like to use the same project since all of the files are there, but if it takes so long to open it is a pain in the ass and I'm also concerned at one point it may not open at all...I'll se... #tromlive
"New Chinese toilet paper dispenser requires you to watch a 30 second ad before it gives you toilet paper, and it only gives you about 3 per ad. Spotted in Guangdong province." teddit.net/r/assholedesign/com…
This is reddit so idk if this is 100% true, but I won't be surprised if it is. The trade game. Money is not the problem, trade is. And this message is becoming more and more powerful and important the more we "advance" as a society, where humans will implement a lot more trades that are not based on money. Same shit, different flavors. (pun intended).
Oh wow finally all of my files finished backing up to the online place :) . Millions of files. Awesome! From now on its only job is to sync all of my files to the cloud. So all of my files are now backed-up locally on a hard drive, then to another online location independent of any of our servers. Great!
I was also able to work on TROM II today a little bit. I am still not 100% done with the first part. Need to improve a few things here and there. Hopefully tomorrow I will work all day on it. Who knows, I may even finish it entirely tomorrow. It is not that much to do.
Then I have to decide if I wanna continue the project in the same Kdenlive one or create a separate Kdenlive project. It is already taking around 1h to open the project. So I'll have to think deep and well about it! #tromlive
I updated some stuff for tromjaro.com/ homepage to reflect the latest changes to TROMjaro. Had to record again a bunch of videos and such. But I think is worth it. Looks great! For example the laptop slider we have there, that showcases the wallpapers we use, now allows you to click any wallpaper and download in full resolution. From now on I plan to make a bunch of tutorials about a bunch of things TROMjaro related ;) and post them on the forum ofc.
I went to the museum today. Actually to two of them, in Barcelona. Very nice. Science museums of course. I am blown away by the diversity of creatures that are on this planet or have been. Look at this motherfucker - an elephant with a big tooth or lip whatever that is. Never saw that before:
It looks like is not real....
Anyway, tomorrow I am getting back to work on TROM II if nothing odd happens to the Kdenlive project...I will also share new sources for TROMjaro and TROM files downloads. So that you can grab our files from yet another reliable location. Speaking of that I am almost done with the online backups :D . Feels so great! I am so happy we can backup all of our files online too. Such a relief. #tromlive
It is this bad boy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platybel… - I had no clue this creature existed. Looks like a joke or a blender render without any reality context. haha
