I customized check.trom.tf/ and speed.trom.tf/ ;) - I love tweaking the look of these services so they look like the rest. #tromlive

I worked a lot on TROM II today. So far I love it. But it is only the beginning...at this point I have no idea if it will be 2-3 hours long, or 12-13 hours long...let's see. I am taking it easy, enjoying it. If life is a train then I should keep it at a lower speeds to admire the landscapes and enjoy the journey ;). #tromlive

I love how this guy destroys the ElonMusk Cult ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=56862W24HK… - This Elon-multi-billionaire conned many people and he keeps on doing the same today. Yet people buy his nonsense. This channel has a ton of such videos about Musk. I highly recommend them Very well done and to the point ;). If Elon wanted to change this society for the better, he probably would not have become the richest man on Earth. #tromlive

Haha. That taking a shit example was really a joke, but I understand what you mean. If you look through a certain perspective, everything becomes interesting and curious.
Here's an interesting video about farts 😁 - youtube.com/watch?v=Zt9rvaijpP…
But what I really meant to say with the previous post is that we usually get caught up doing something in life and its normal to forget about stuff like this. Those goosebumps come and go, they're not constant.

Yup I knew it was a joke but I wanted to make a point haha. And oh look, when Vsauce was doing great videos. What happened to him...thx for sharing ;). And I get your point for sure.

After I'll release TROM II (if I'll manage to do that and not give up on it :D ) - I will focus a lot more on directory.trade-free.org/ and the idea of trade-free. I want to go back on writing books and maybe make videos on constant basis. Our Trade-Free Directory is a great idea I think. I love it. Is just that I could not focus too much on it to make it more known, to add more stuff and such. Thankfully @Aaron kept it updated and organized ;). #tromlive

We auto detect based on the title when a project is already submitted and showcase a warning. So far only 1 submission was duplicated in the rejected category because the name was "disroot" and "disroot.org".

tromnews.com/videos/ works again! I don't know what was the issue, but I had to manually rebuild the cache for all of the youtube channels from our list. Happy that it works now. #tromlive

So I am missing for like 2-3 days and I see this :)
These projects are kinda dependent on me to keep them up to date. The following days I will update them all and fix things here and there. Then all focus on TROM II editing.
I've been hiking for a few days with the awesome @Sasha . Something new to me. I handled it well, but damn it is hard. This girl is really tough. And smart and awesome :). So we did like 25km and she has to do, in theory, another 820km haha. Nuts! She wants to go through all of the Pyrenees. And she's on her way there. I only joined her for a few days, that was the deal ;). In any case, I hope she manages to do it.
Once she comes back she will work to release her book, that's not only about her journey but also about how trade fucks things up. In the meantime, now that I am fully alone, I will focus on editing the TROM II documentary. That's my priority. #tromlive

I won't be online much for these next 3 or so days. So you know - if anyone contacts me. Also, thanks to the financial support we have received recently I could pay for an anti-captcha for our invidious instance so that our ytb.trom.tf works now. Should work pretty much all the time. Which is fantastic! It is the trade-free youtube. Enjoy! #tromlive

I realized the Peertube left-side menu with our interesting links to our trade-free stuff, disappeared after the last ynh update. It was based on a plugin that I think stopped working. Actually all plugins do not work it seems....opening an issue with yunohost. #tromlive

I updated our Peertube instance to its latest. It broke a lot of the theme I customized so I spent a bit of time fixing it. Now it looks better than before I think videos.trom.tf - but there might be things to fix and I may have missed. These things I can change in time, when I notice them ;). Everything seems to work perfectly fine. So enjoy! ;) #tromlive

A new TROMjaro ISO is out tromjaro.com/releases/ - just regular Manjaro Stable updates. #tromlive
I've added all of our instances: bibliogram (insta.trom.tf), nitter (bird.trom.tf), searx (search.trom.tf), and invidious (ytb.trom.tf) to their official lists. Let's see if they approve them ;). SO far all of our instances work very well, including invidious. I did something for invidious and it may work from now on, let's see. #tromlive

One big perk of moving is that now I have a 1GB internet connection which helps me a ton with the VN stuff + backups. I am doing 70-80GB of local backups daily, for all of our websites. #tromlive

I know you're honest about your work. In fact, I learned all this VADOSE stuff from reading your books :)
I don't know you irl, but it feels like we think in much of the same way. We're both curious about the world we live in, and are not afraid to question societal norms. I don't know about other people at TROM, but it feels like that's what connects all of us
I believe there are others who support you here, but yeah, @trom is underrated af. We need to reach other curious minds like us 🙃

You know my best "offline" friends now came from other parts of the world because of TROM. So maybe one day we will meet you too ;). We planned to make a TROM meeting videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/95… every year, bus because of COVID we could not. Maybe we could do one this year and we will invite people like you if you can come ;). And thank you again for your nice words. You are a little "known" inside our little TROM group because of your feedbacks :).

in reply to Rokosun • •It is good but I'd say I can smell the tech-enthuziasm in this video - smells a bit the same as the crypto fanatics, techno-saviors, pricacy-paranoids, and such. He focuses on the fact that tesla will become like phones nowadays where you cannot control them, and how bad they are for privacy. But I think there is a bigger fish in that pond we have to go after, and the video I linked does a great job at exposing it: it is about how in our trade-based society humans are incentivized to trade trade trade- And this makes them lie, exaggerate, and so forth. And Musk is an example of that. He exaggerates the self-driving capabilities of teslas, and most of his technologies that are nothing new or revolutionary. That's more important because that's the story of pretty much every product out there.
Also the guy in teh video says something like: "Tesla should be more like Android, open to different software implementations and such" - I mean,,, really!? Android is not a good example at all. It is a bunch of licensed and proprietary and closed and controlled by google and others softw

It is a bunch of licensed and proprietary and closed and controlled by google and others software. Full of useless features. And used for trading. He also says: We should be allowed to hack our own cars.... - Well....ok...say you can "hack" Android....how many Android hacked OSes are out there? Google owns that market by the balls. Tesla would do the same even if you are allowed to "hack" your own car.
This is so easy to grasp when you understand what a trade-based society is: A human wants to make a car that's better. Better should mean: safer, easy to access, maybe faster, more comfortable, less polluting and such. Better should be encapsulated in what it means to be a car. What is the purpose of a car. In the same way that a cancer treatment is measured in how well it defeats the cancer, what are the side effects, and such. But not the price of it. It is teh value of a treatment encapsulated inside the medical field.
So if human A wants to make a better car, it should be a better car. That's all. However when human A wants to trade this car, then human A needs to find ways to to that. So it will add up what "better" means inside of this trade-based society, Useless features, colors, and such.
I was about to write more but I am busy....I am sure you understand tho.

in reply to Tio • • •I've read your book, so I understand much of what you're saying. You don't have to explain about trade and it's effects ;)
The video I sent you is of a tech channel, so yeah, its mostly talking from a tech perspective. One difference between these videos is that one is explaining how tesla is a fraud and the other is explaining how tesla could become a threat as a monopoly. This is just like how Facebook started out, and now everyone is trapped in this vendor lock-in.

in reply to Rokosun • •The lesser "evil" is not as lesser I'd say, and also it can become the "main evil" just as easy. I won't choose between apple and google, I would choose a trade-free linux and I'll make the point why. The same way I won't choose fair-trade products to buy and think they are better than Nestle or whatever. Both are "evil". So I would not choose sides between Pepsi and Coca Cola, i would look for other alternatives and if there are none, I won't support any of those. :P
Also, a trade-free car company seems impossible since it is a "company" after all. But there are plenty free-er transportation systems like subways, autonomous EVs in UK made by the gov, or whatever. They should showcase such examples if they are really serious ;).
In any case :P

Yeah, the examples you gave are much better. If there are transportation systems and vehicles funded by governments, that's a good alternative, not a "company". Again, this is because the force of trade is lower, just like you wrote in your book :)
