Help me pay for my "tromhome" yearly insurance - gofundme.com/f/help-me-pay-for…

Every year I have to pay around 600€ for the car insurance. This car is not just a car, is my only home. Is the place from where I create all of the TROM projects. From content, to VideoNeat, TROMjaro, TROMnews, TROM.tf and many more.

See what I do here tromsite.com/ and here tiotrom.com/projects/

This past year has been an absolute nightmare for me. Health issues, my girlfriend left me, financial problems, etc.. I was able to support myself via the monthly donations I get from TROM, barely, but now being alone I cannot afford these big expenses. So I have to ask for help,

It's always like that, and I hate asking for this sort of help, but is not much I can about.

Thank you to anyone who can help out. If a miracle happens and I get more than this amount then I can fix some problems with the car, like the front suspensions that cost a lot of money (650€ ...), or buy a new window (big one) for the camper because the one I have is cracked and it rains inside of it.

At least I hope to raise the money to pay for the insurance. My savings are around 1.000 Euros (maybe) and I can pay for it from that, but then I am too close to being totally broke. I need some savings in case of emergency situations.

Ok. That's all.

I hope that if people appreciate the work I do for TROM they can help me a bit financially so I can continue, as people are the reason I can still do these things.

I appreciate it!

We've been flooded by total idiots in the comments who think there are more human races and some are inferior. They post a lot of fucked up comments and some are likely bots. Let's try again and this time any such nonsnese comment gets deleted.

If you have arguments against, keep it scientific and friendly.

Shocking how much garbage is on the #fediverse too.

First of all what is “culture”?

We humans have borders that divide us into tribes. The rules of the division are not always clear. Language? But USA and Australia speak the same language…
Same is the case for South Africa, England, Sudan, Botswana, Nigeria, Singapore, Namibia or Ghana. And some 100 more tribes:

French? Some 50 tribes speak French!

The fact is that there are many tribes that speak the same language yet their cultures can be totally different.

So what makes a “culture” is a soup of traditions, beliefs, religion, food, knowledge, art, clothing style, humor, sport, and so on.

A cluster of values that makes a group of people a bit different from another.

In that sense cultures are not only limited by borders and tribes, but they can form around a topic of interest such as gaming, movies, even celebrities.

I am so frustrated that pretty much everyone is blind in this world. So may loud voices about the "harms" of AI, but what is happening with this tool is TOTALLY NORMAL in a TRADE BASED SOCIETY.

TOTALLY NORMAL!

Companies wanna trade these tools, thus make money at all costs. Users wanna use them to trade, make money. Videos, books, whatever the shit.

The incentive is THE SAME. Big or small groups of people.

There is NO SURPRISE!

Totally normal.

No way we can fix this, or the billions of other issues, unless we change the structure of our society. Sounds daunting but only if you are thinking about it simplistically and in a sci-fi way.

Imagine if we start a Universal Basic Income scheme, also provide the needs of people as trade-free. Housing, food, healthcare, etc.. Free people from this society, so they can be less idiotic and less driven to make profit out of everything. This is a realistic way forward.

That's how you can try to change the infinite blanket of shit that everyone grows on top of.

It drives me INSANE that people do not see this simple fact, that people are consuming idiots in a trade-based society, so ofc they will abuse every tool for trading purposes.

It has been the case for thousands of years.

So yah, I am sick of those who speak about AI slop, destruction of the environment, climate change, etc., but NEVER mentioning the trade-based society that creates all of these.

It's like talking about lung cancer without mentioning smoking at all. And not connecting it with the Tobacco industry. And then hop, back to trade.

This is the world we live in....and won't change in any significant way unless we understand where our problems originate.

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (trailer)

We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!

A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.

What are these humans living for?

In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.

Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.

I wonder if I now paste a Peertube link it can embed the player directly into the post. That would be amazing.

We will be AI-fucked.

We usually get registration requests for our Friendica (social.trom.tf) and a way to filter the bots out is to require that everyone sends the reason why they want to join our node before we approve or dismiss their request.

It was not very hard to tell if one is a bot since they would have generic messages. But recently we got variations of these messages:

i want to try friendica, and found out about trom.tf from this instance. looks like a cool place to start. already on fedi as @🎣 sylph in progress

I thought it sounds legit if they also let you check their other fedi account. And so I did and this time their profile is a long blabbing one but at least admitting that they are "a thirsty little LLM" (Large Language Model).

So yah....we are fucked. These people are ruining the internet. We use our limited resources for good purposes to provide people with a trade-free social network. And now these people are infecting even these little projects....

Awful...

EDIT: It seems the account was not an LLM despite saying so. The user "identified as a robot", whatever that means, and overall had a very weird bio. Please check for yourself:

A few people said I am a jackass for posting about this person, but considering their over the top weird bio where it says the account is an LLM, coupled with the fact that nowadays these "LLM" bots are infecting the internet, it is reasonable for me to think this person was a bot.

The conversation could have been simple: "Hey I know I said in the bio that I am an LLM, but I am not." and then I could simply ask them to register again. But the person blocked me and a few others started to bark in the comments. This is not how we can communicate and solve anything people...
