Finally able to upgrade our Cryptpad office.trom.tf/ to the latest ;) . This latest version has a simple way of alerting all users when we do maintenance. So we will do when that time comes! :) #tromlive

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

This is such a cool video videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/5f… @Sasha wen yesterday for a little hike and met an octopus. But damn this octopus was so curious and friendly. Watch the video to see. 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

what about if im able to arrange fellow member a job as source of income then members able to live there indefinitely? well.. provided you dont have any health issue?
how is that ok to trade your life? maybe you can help some, but not me. I have a free place to stay now and I do not have to work I can focus on TROM for now.

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

We see in landscape mode, true. I think that's why most videos, wallpapers etc. are in landscape.
Just to be clear, I meant to ask you about your phone. You can install a privacy friendly OS on it like LineageOS, if your model is supported. Also you can install lots of FOSS apps from fdroid. This way you can mitigate the trades on your device.

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.

Not really...I only use the terminal when I really have to. But I want an operating system that's easy to use for everyone and I try to solve issues or tweak it in a way that anyone can. The terminal is a great tool if you know how to use it, and very scary when you dont haha.

I was super scared of terminals before getting into linux. Everyone starts scared, but as they learn their way around terminal, it seems much more efficient.

ytb.trom.tf works properly again. Channels, playlists, search. And from now on we may be able to keep it updated and properly working. Great! #tromlive

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

I would like to do a TROM-Cast all about movies this week. To discuss about the present day movies, the popularity of these "things", and how could we do them better perhaps. To provide examples of educational movies and so on. Stay tuned. ;) I'll post about it these days if we decide. On another news, we had to cancel the recordings for TROM II for now. I hope to get back to that in a week or less. #tromlive

You asked me about the best (most enjoyed) movie I saw, I think it'd probably be "Breaking bad", but its a series not a movie. I only realized how short a movie is after watching series, the same with educational videos after watching documentaries. This is a very popular series, but I think it actually deserved it ! Its hard to keep things realistic and still be enjoyable and entertaining, and this series achieved that.

Thanks- I'll have a look. Btw if you want to find pretty much any movie or documentary for free use our search engine search.trom.tf/search?q=Capern… - magnets (bittorrent decentralized).

We added a Like button for videos.trom.tf - no dislike button or view count. That's because a Like button is a way of saying that you liked the content, but a dislike means what? You disliked? Then what did you dislike? Comment to a video if you dislike it, or ignore it. A Like is a form of appreciation so we keep it there. And views should not matter really since how are they counted? These ideas of numbers attached to digital stuff are very weird and nonsensical, and they emerged from our trade-based society where we count stuff and put a price on them. 4 tomatoes or 200. Quantity. Prices. Trading.
We do the same now with videos, or posts, images and so on. We equate views, likes, comments and so forth with "value". A well made and smart video is likely to have less of those anyways, compared to a moronic one. These things cannot be counted or valued. Such a retarded society....
Anyways. #tromlive

Now that you've removed view counts, dislikes etc., I think like counts should be removed too, following the same principle.
This whole thing is really strange to me, I haven't seen anyone remove these numbers on peertube. But I like the way you think, I haven't thought about the numbers in such a way - they don't equal value. There's a lot of underrated content on the internet.

Afaik, anyone can still see the number of likes, dislikes, views etc. when using a 3rd party client. So these numbers are not gone, it just won't be visible on the website itself, so people know you don't endorse them. I think this is a good place to be in right now.
Yes when using a 3rd party they can like or dislike and such...I don't think I can do anything about that. But on our Peertube they should not be visible.

Trying to integrate Twitter with our Friendica instance so that maybe we get more people from Twitter to use it. In essence it seems to work to see your contacts in Twitter on Friendica's newsfeed and interact with them. But not sure it works to post on Twitter from Friendica, tho it should.... #tromlive
