This is what I have to put up with with my driving exam in Spain, in English:
The correct answer is A....even tho it is the same exact meaning as B....
And then you figure this out:
Because the correct answer is C....
Unbelievable. Such a mockery. I will make a blog post about my experience and I will create interactive quizzes for anyone to play with, that have the exact questions and answers from the Spanish Government in English. So you understand the level of retardation.
Anyway, I will announce the TROMcast Live date/hour later on tonight. A lot of things to talk about :).

European Climate Pact Ambassador
I have some good news, I've just become official EU Climate Pact Ambassador for Latvia.
What it means basically I became a member of EU initiative to promote ecology, biodiversity, climate issues and solutions in Europe. They have many ambassadors all over EU from all different backgrounds and professions, with all kind of skills. But everyone have a common goal to improve ecology in all possible ways.
From now on I have access to some European Union projects, initiatives and trainings. Also will have a chance to present Be Brave To Act in Euro Parliament in Brussels next year.
Here is the list of all ambassadors if you curios : climate-pact.europa.eu/about/m…

We are trying again to add Paypal as a donation option to our 200 for TROM campaign https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - if you have a Paypal account you can give it a try, so we can test if it works well. And we will refund you. Please let us know about that.Basically we want to test if people can donate directly with their Paypal balance.
I think on the 30st this month I will do a long livestream for TROM to explain some stuff about the future of this project, my plans, etc.. And to try and get more people to join our 200 for TROM if possible - tromsite.com/donate/
I will announce the exact hour these days. ;)

Ok here's one more with the binoculars :D because I love these. I was standing here taking this photo with my Pixel 4a phone:
Then I added the binoculars to my phone and pointed here:
And I got this:
True, I enhanced the colors, contrast, etc., but with GThumb in less than a minute. Nothing crazy.
Here are more:
Mind you, this is a phone that was around 350$ new in 2020 that was given to me for free. Plus binoculars that we literally found somewhere. :) Nothing pro, yet the photos look super cool.

Another amazing human is now part of the 200 for TROM. Thank you Darby! https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - if we get enough people like you, we can support TROM forever :). #tromlive
For those who have a driving license, what would you answer to this ridiculous question?
Mind you this is an official question in Spain, for their English test.
Here's a photo I just took 2 hours ago of the moon with Pixel 4a and some cheap binoculars:
I love this photo because it also showcases what the stages of the Moon are. Just a part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun from our perspective, but in fact the entire Moon is visible if you are to look closely.
So amazing!
I will try to take more such photos of the moon in perspective with buildings or other "objects". It looks so cool!

In our town there are ping-pong tables for anyone to use. We play sometimes I kinda like it :D. But yah, so cool they should do more of these in public spaces.

Thank you Elias for becoming one of the 200 for TROM! We need 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support TROM forever. See https://www.tromsite.com/donate/40 people are donating so far, and hopefully little by little we can achieve this goal. This way we put very little toll on individual donors and make TROM more sustainable, and not rich :).
Towards the end of this month we will do a livestream about our plans for the next year. Stay tuned!

Our Peertube instance https://videos.trom.tf is not for advertising your company and products. Several people tried to take advantage of our instance that accepts science/tech videos in English by uploading promotional videos for their tech-company. No more! All removed!We will have to focus a lot more on inviting proper creators that are in line with our TROM project. We need to grow our Peertube instance and the Peertube ecosystem in general. This is going to be a long journey, but how else can we move away from the giant companies that own the Internet!?
Help out of you can. Help out this direction!
Awesome sunset. I am impressed how the Pixel 4a can capture the real colors. Phone that @Aaron gifted me :D. Even brand new it was 3 times cheaper than most high end phones when it was released.

in reply to Rokosun • •Yah here:
And actually they are not comfortable to look through them since the eyepieces are so tiny...
But that makes them perfect to attack to the phone. As you can see they are quite small. They feel like toy binoculars. My family found them when cleaning a house basically.
