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.

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…

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.


Apps

In TROM-Jaro you can find thousands upon thousands of applications. Pretty much every single application that is available for Linux is available in Add/Remove Software in TROM-Jaro. On this page …

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....

On a positive note, I'm happy they're getting rid of fireworks, I hated the loud noise, the smoke and everything. I've never seen a drone show before, so it'd be nice to see that one day.

But yeah I knew trade would get in the way, #TradeRuinsEverything - this is why we can't have nice things. So does this mean I have to watch ads in the f**king sky now ?! Why is no one talking about this ?

I was watching this video ytb.trom.tf/8eRsbv-rsU8?t=204 and I just saw something that tells us a lot about our society. Click it to see the exact moment. Got it?

I bet @Nick @ The Linux Experiment won't say any "bad" words in his family-friendly videos, but is completely ok to showcase a brutal murder/stabbing in a realistic-game. That's fine. Boobs, genitalia, bad! Even if they are in the same digital game-like format. Killing? No issues.

Mind you I do not blame anyone. I am fine with the naked body, and I am not put off by brutal games. But in our society, somehow, nakedness, sex, and the like are so taboo. Youtube will probably take his video down if that scene would have been a sex scene in a similar game.

I wrote 3 short digital books about this subject if anyone is interested:

This is not about the guy behind the video. He makes very nice Linux videos, although a ton of ads and sponsored content overall :D. Anyway I thought I should mention this because it is both hilarious and shocking. #tromlive

In this video series we will explore TROMjaro in more depth. Today we are looking at how easy it is to customize TROMjaro with just a few clicks. Our Layout and Theme Switcher apps make it quite straight forward. We are also talking about why the theming is broken in Linux and how we kinda fixed it for TROMjaro. #tromlive

TROM.tf updates:

- We've added tasks.trom.tf/ - a complete Trello trade-free alternative.
- We've added sketch.trom.tf/- a simple and useful online sketch whiteboard. Draw together with others and share your drawings.
- We've added another one scratch.trom.tf/ geared towards learning programming and creating animations.
- We moved yt.trom.tf to the original ytb.trom.tf. Do not worry, they are linked so it does not matter which one you use.

As you can see we are adding new trade-free services. Thanks to the people who donate to TROM. Now we have 27 trade-free services that are well maintained. So if you can, please donate to TROM here tromsite.com/donate/ to keep these services alive and relevant, and add more in the future.

We will make some "info" pages for some of these newly added services, soon. Enjoy! #tromlive

Here's a wonderful documentary! I wish to see more of these. Instead of nonsense Jurassic Park, how about such documentaries that are based on reality? You know...reality is mind-blowing...and it is, well...real! #tromlive

Newly added documentary on VideoNeat.com:

Prehistoric Planet

The documentary follows dinosaurs recreated with computer-generated imagery living around the globe in the Late Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago (Maastrichtian). It set out to depict dinosaurs using current palaeontological research such as feathered dinosaurs.

Here's me telling people again why Friendica is awesome:

  • Connect with pretty much anyone on the Fediverse: Mastodon, Peertube, Pleroma, Lemmy, you name it!
  • Works with pretty much any Mastodon App since it uses their API.
  • You can connect your Wordpress with it, and cross post to your blog. I do that regularly. And works great. YOu can also do the other way around: take any "source" you want and tell friendica to repost new posts to your profile.
  • You can schedule posts too.[[i]]You can follow any website that has an RSS.
  • You can connect with Twitter and follow people from Twitter and interact with them like you do on Twitter.
  • You can compose huge posts with inline media + do basic text formatting.

And a lot more, but these are the very cool ones I can remember now. Here's a more in-depth presentation trom.tf/social/ and here you can join our instance social.trom.tf/ . We have custom themes :). That's all! #tromlive

Whenever I'll have some money to buy a new laptop I will never ever buy one in a plastic case. I am tired of gluing it everywhere...I need a metal, durable one. It is a huge waste to make these devices so poorly built because then people throw them away simply because of the casing, not the hardware. My laptop is open 24/7 and I use it at max, so it stays in 1 single place. I almost never close the lid. If I do, I am afraid it will break. It cracks and bends and all that....really shitty quality.
