That's how we should all be. Kind to each other. Help each other. But we do not have time for this...we have to trade for the sake of trading...what a waste of humans. #tromlive

It is great that XFCE's file manager Thunar will get a proper search function. This is really needed and basic. But XFCE takes ages, literally, to push updates to stable....luckily in TROMjaro all I have to do is search for the git version in Add/Remove Software and click install. And voilla I run the latest Thunar:

With search and new cool features. Cannot wait to get to stable so that TROMjaro has a proper file manager.... #tromlive

Very good documentary. About a world we do not know much about. If you take all living creatures that are on the surface on the planet, put them somewhere on a scale. Then take all living creatures that live in the Earth's crust and put on the other side, then the ones living in the Earth's crust far outweigh the other ones. In other words, far more life under the ground than on top of it (what we see).


Newly added documentary on VideoNeat.com:

Secret Life Underground

Secret Life Underground The underground world is so unfamiliar to us that you only have to dig down a few yards to reveal a totally unknown realm, just beneath our feet. Today, only a fraction of the rich biodiversity that inhabits the soil has been studied. Scientists estimate that the ground is probably home to 70% of the living organisms yet to be discovered.

Oh man.. I had almost the same about a month ago, I think it was something related to COVID as well, although I had all my tests negative. I slept barely for about 2 weeks straight, pain in trought came in suddenly and went away also suddenly, then returned again and it was a few times of shit. Got only Paracetamole and mint candies from a doctor :D, which barely worked, so had to suffer it all through..

Hope it will become better for you soon and completely agree on the feelings you have :( Stay strong and get well soon!

Watched the video. I also get Neil being a bit on the fence and trying to point out the usually these questions come from people who have some sort of agenda....but regardless science is science, and we have to defend our values using the science not ignoring it. If being gay is a learned behavior, then we should defend those who are gay based on that fact. If gay is a learned behavior, being straight also is. In any case, I totally agree with your comment.

@Tio
I just found out that the interviewer is Ben shapiro and apparently he's a right wing hero. Makes sense why Neil was being a bit defensive while they talked. For everyone reading this message I also wanna make it clear that I don't follow ben shapiro, I just stumbled upon that video when I was searching for something related to astrophysics on youtube, anyway I knew Neil is an awesome science guy so I clicked on the video, didn't even know who the interviewer was at the time. This is not that important, but I don't want people to mistake me for a right wing fanboy, lol 😂

Doctors are still normal humans of this society, so they try to just treat symptoms, we dont have access to easily use the technology that would tell us the cause of the symptoms.

For example, I recently found out that I have celiac disease, or at least gluten intolerance. Now I have been having symptoms of that since I was a small kid, and I went to many doctors while growing up, but they would always just prescribe some drugs for the symptoms, never look for the cause, I feel like they only look more into it if you are dying or something.

But anyways, I had to find out by myself that I had this disease, after the symptoms were getting really bad, and I would go to doctors and they would say "theres nothing wrong with you, its probably just anxiety". Now that I started actually treating it my symptoms got a lot better, but I will still have to deal with some of them for who knows how long, since I have been eating gluten stuff daily for almost my whole life.

Yeah or when you bleed...bleeding is always triggering them it seems. On one had I understand that they need standard procedures to cope with a large population, but I think that we should develop smarted systems, many remote, so that humans are able to get to talk to a doctor whenever they need one. Even a chat-support is useful when done right.

in reply to Tio

You should consider taking paracetamol instead of ibuprofen.

Your doctor doesn't actually know that you have a virus unless they did a lab test. You've been sent home for monitoring, which is almost certainly the right call, but you're the one doing the monitoring and it sounds like they didn't make that clear.

Ibuprofen can worsen some conditions you could have, and paracetamol will reduce your pain too, so it's better in this case.

in reply to Urusan

Yeah the doctor told to me to take some painkillers but I tried 2 and made no difference, including paracetamol. Ibuprofen makes you bleed more and I have a bleeding issue with my nose, started to bleed a lot more now with COVID and me taking ibuprofen. So I would avoid that. I've also read that Ibuprofen can cause these mouth ulcers too...so better avoid that. The good part is that I can go to the doctor for free whenever I want so in case I do not feel better I will go and talk to them more.

Been to the hospital to see wtf is in my throat. They looked for like 15 seconds and told me it is a virus infection and I have to endure it...but I swear it is getting as bad as when I had the kidney stone...and then I felt like dying. This time my throat feels like it is stabbed with a thousand needles in one side. I had a sore throat before, many times. At times really bad. But this is way beyond that. This is torture. Nothing seems to help much, no medicine. Maybe hot tea a bit...

Damn...

No way for me to focus on any project in this state.

I am still in the process of fighting things that are attacking my body. I am COVID negative but I was left with a very bad throat infection. Eating is a very painful challenge, so much so I refuse to even eat most of the time; swallowing, talking, anything feels so painful. If I try to yawn, a pleasurable feeling usually, I have to stop mid-way and it wakes me up from my sleepiness.

Because of the pain I have no patience to work on anything. It also affects one of my ears...

I cannot wait to get back to my normal schedule and work work work. I want to start TROM II as I said...plus do a few things on my list.

Damn this infection is so painful.

What fact about reality blows your mind if you were to pick one? For me is the entangled particles. Basically you can have 2 particles in different galaxies. Tweak one, and the other one also changes. Instantly. And this is proven. Watch this mindblowing documentary videoneat.com/documentaries/18…

That's something that blows my mind. It makes 0 sense. How is the information transmitted!? Like...wow.... #tromlive

A while ago I saw this video on tromnews.com/videos - youtube.com/watch?v=b05IeSlMMD…
This actually makes me wonder if there's some confusion created by language here 🤔

But in case of quantum entanglement, I know we've transported data using this before - youtube.com/watch?v=yb38jozeDO…
Its still so fucking weird that this is even possible, haha 😄

Me and Sasha tested negative for COVID19 today. Yes! Finally. We are over that shit. I still feel not very good but that's because I have a throat infection and hurts like shit. I blame COVID for interfering with that. Anyway....in a few days time I hope to be back to normal in all regards.

Emojis


!Friendica Admins So, how can we do the emoji thing properly in Friendica? What can I, as admin, enable? I tested all addons but they seem to not work. Only the Smiley Unicode transforms certain text into emoji. The rest seem to do nothing.

Smiley Pack - I do not understand what it does.
smileybutton - Shows me a list of emojis (this is the best approach in my view) but I cannot select any....seems broken
Adult Smilies - again idk what it does.

Would be great to have a way to let users select emoji's from a list. Maybe there is a way, but am not aware of!?

I am starting to feel better. Fuck you covid. Anyway, I worked several hours today to upgrade some websites and stuff like that. My plan: see what money we have this next month and based on that decide if I should start working on TROM II again. Sasha managed to get some "job", tho is not 100% sure. If it is we can push our existence to the next year. I will try to get new websites for WebApe to make, tho is quite impossible to it seems.

In any case, there is a good change I will restart my TROM II work....but I need a few days to recover, do some otehr things like I want to make another TROMjaro video, and so on. Then I can decide. I may create a page for TROM II on tromsite and showcase there some samples from the documentary and ask people to donate if they wanna help out...

My brain is not at the sharpest right now so yeah let's see.... #tromlive

The contact form from tromsite.com/contact/ has been restored to the original one. The new one was kinda shitty and flagged most emails as spam. So we would not get any email....the weird thing is that, believe it or not, it is damn impossible to find a good, simple and non-google integrated contact form for WP. This is crazy.

Oh I meant the simple question based spam filter on directory.trade-free.org when you try to submit a new post, I thought you guys were using similar methods for all your websites.....

Are they spam bots ? If you want a more powerful captcha then maybe you can use this open source one - github.com/daniel-e/rust-captc…
I believe this is what @LemmyDev uses for account creation and stuff like that.

Fuck you COVID. I got COVID a few days ago and yeah it is like a bad cold. For me it is mostly about having fever daily. A bit of a soar throat and stuffy nose. Am also starting to cough a bit. I am double vaccinated and boosted. But yeah, those are to prevent severe disease. I was not particularly tired tho. In any case I've heard that anyone gets it really and no one cares anymore. It is part of society now. And I've heard experts saying that 2 years ago. Anyway, I am preparing some stuff to announce in like a week or less in regards to TROM. Depends how my COVID manifests.

#Tromjaro linux has a nice little thing that I believe is useful for all linux users, this is it - tromjaro.com/apps/

You can find hundreds of Trade-free linux apps there, all of them are GUI programs and there are screenshots attached for each one. Even though TROMjaro is not my daily driver I sometimes use this service to search for apps like photo editors, video players, etc.

The install button on these pages may only work on TROMjaro, but its very easy for me to find the package name.


Here's the only "philosopher" I like haha - Karl Pilkington.


Watch these two series: An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life.

The guy is so funny and quite genuine :D - and I think I am kinda like him in many instances, complaining about shit haha. He says some interesting things at times. You can grab them from here.

These are some of the funniest things I've seen. 100% recommend :D.

So idk why I haven't used the Wordpress Gutenberg editor more. Seems more legit, almost no ads and bs freemiums, tons of blocks....I have used Elementor to build most websites by now....and that is really useful but tons of "freemium" BS everywhere in the backend of WP. Thta's one thing I dislike about our websites that are built on Wordpress but with many trade-based tools...Maybe in the future I should do a massive cleanup and rebuild all websites using only Gutenberg and trade-free plugins. Maybe I should create a demo WP site and play with that....hm....yeah....
