Let us never forget that the Ukrainian tribe forces its male members to not leave their tribe. To stay and fight. This is an act of terror, of extreme barbarism. If I, as a male that am part of a tribe (without my consent, I was just born there), am forced to stay and fight (perhaps die) for this tribe, then fuck this tribe.
Say if 80% of all Ukrainian males wanted to not put up a fight and leave, then respect that. It means that Ukraine doesn't want to fight. Deal with it. They talk about democracy, freedom, and other bullshit like that, but this is so far from these ideals that we can't see them even with a telescope.
It is the same way that the Russian males were forced (probably) to be part of the army and go fight the Ukrainian males. All of these are clear signs of primitivism.
We should now focus on killing cancer, and dropping space probes on the Europa moon to search for other forms of life. And yet we kill humans and drop bombs on cities, to destroy us and the infrastructure.
A pathetic species.
We need to make humans realize these primitivisms.... #tromlive

the fact is Russians don't want to fight either. many of those kids that were thrown to the war were just forcedly conscribed and made to sign "a contract". nobody wants this war. neither here, nor there.
we know those who does, by names. so why should people get into this hell for no reasons and get all these killer sanctions, when all the world know the criminals that are in charge for this happening. this is a queation. a question about money. cui bono, as Romans said. look who's interesred. and I see people ready to supply weapons (not as a free help, for money, of course!). and I see those who make money on blood and tears. and we all know who are that people. so why this all happens and how can we stop the madness?

@Iron Bug clearly, as you are saying: there are people profiting out of that, because of trade - they sell weapons and gain money.
How can we stop the madness? That's tricky and I have no answer to that except to make people aware that trade is the problem and that we need to make it obsolete. Many projects are working in this direction and we try to highlight them in the trade-free directory: directory.trade-free.org/

Unfortunately we are having issues with that server. The hosting company seems to experience some issues....should be back soon I am sure.
actually, nothing is "trade-free". developers of open source don't eat solar power. they earn money and use their spare time for something they like. this is how opensource exists. but somebody pays for all these servers on Fediverse. and these money are earned by people. and this is commercial basis of everything in the world.

Trade-free is trade-free for the end user. For me it is trade free if I do not have to trade for that good or service. Like Wikipedia is for example. I do not have to give them anything in return for that service. Yes, wikipedia uses some servers and trades for them (money), but their service for others is trade free. Understand?
it's pity you don't understand. wikipedia collected donates. they cannot live on solar power.
you can find a little wild apple in a forest. but if you wanna get a good big apple you have to work, to fertilize the soil and so on. for free is only wild nature. everything made by people costs resources - i.e. money. time is also money. people may spend it for work or for hobbies. but hobbies don't provide food for anybody.

You do not have to trade anything to use wikipedia. Am I correct? Do you give them anything? No. That means, for you, Wikipedia is trade-free. Yes Wikipedia trades for some of their services, but am not talking about that.
I write many books, see tromsite.com/books/. I give them for free. I call that being trade-free because I do not collect your data, insert ads, whatever. You do not have to give me anything in return for these books. There is no trade between you and me. Thus, my books are trade-free for you. Where am I not clear?

Trade was good, maybe until some 300 years ago. Now we have so much stuff that we throw mountains of waste. Trade made us produce so much stuff, and thus we waste so much stuff. Why should we still trade for this abundance?
Trade also makes us behave badly because it forces us to lie, deceive, exaggerate, corrupt or be corrupted. If I sell potatoes I can't afford to tell my customers to go to the other company because they have better and cheaper potatoes. I need to pay my rent you know...so you can't be honest in this system. As a matter of fact I gathered mountains of evidence about how trade is the origin of most problems. See this core book tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d⦠and I am fully open to criticism.
Been working on these for at least a decade and I never traded my work for anything. Never. I am supported solely via donations.
EDIT: I didn't mean to say "Trade was good, maybe until some 300 years ago". I mean tot say trade was useful. It still created a fuck ton of mess, slaves, corruption, and so forth.

Sorry but this is such a populist post I dont know how you donβt see it really. Your healthcare is paid from taxes paid by everyone in Spain. If you dont pay taxes it only means you are leaching of those that do. If noone would pay taxes there would be no public healthcare because you wouldnβt be able to fund it. Your way of seeing things and presenting things is so shallow and simplified I just cannot pass next to it without commenting on it. With all though respect but youβre wrong if you think public health care is trade-free.
I dont think youunderstand me either. Disroot is using floss software desite whether it was made on windows or linux or mac. it used floss components to build it. plus its secondary. even without windows it would be possible to write all software.
healthcare example is different. both US and Spains healthcare is not free. the difference is how its funded. in US its totally privatised while in Spain it's funded from taxes collectively. both arent free because both cost money. the second one is more social oriented as it spreads the weight of the cost on everyone through taxation of population. if everyone or majority stops paying taxes the healthcare system in spain would collapse. so at th end you do pay for it. not directly in form of the bill like in US but taxes. but its not trade free!
If noone would pay taxes there would be no public healthcare because you wouldnβt be able to fund it.
Totally besides the point. If big companies won't invest in open source, if there won't be proprietary hardware and software, then FOSS won't exist. So? It is still FOSS for me. We should still celebrate, embrace, and push forward the FOSS approach. Maybe the more FOS hardware and software we have, the less reliance on proprietary ones.
Same with healthcare or anything. The more volunteers, automation, and resources we have, the less the reliance on trade.
but thats the thing. inb your eyes you dont trade directly so its trade free. no it isnt. government of the cuntry you live in is trading for you. soyeah you outsource the trade to third party. does not mean its not happening.
So you agree that for me is trade-free. Finally :).
Now what happens behind the scenes is another story. I am talking about the nature of these services for the ones using them, of course. Else we go nowhere. Else nothing in the world can be labeled as "free" or "open source" or whatever else, if you look at how these goods/services are created.
You go for an extreme view that is very unrealistic.
In the same way that FOSS emerged from a closed source software world, and it is still emerging and improving, we need to let trade-free goods/service emerge from the trade-based world. Little by little.
well in that case you agree that facebook is trade free since "I" dont pay for it.
also speaking of derailing, I dont get why u bring floss to all of it. floss is software licencing that gives certain rights to the owner of the software. nothing more. it does not mention at all how it as made and using what tools and has nothing to do with trade either. you on the other hand propose new economic solution. so if your idea is based on 'i dont pay therefore trade free' then sure thats one way of looking at things. shallow and simplistc but if it rocks your boat.....
One more example: Open Source Software.
If a piece of software has its code open for all to see, we call it open source. Let's keep it simple as that, I know there are some licenses out there. Now, if this piece of open source software is made on a computer with closed source hardware, and a closed source operating system, does this mean that the end result, that piece of software, is not open source despite the fact that it publishes its code for all to see?
That's what we mean by trade-free, the end result, the thing you interact with, not the entire process of creating that thing. I hope it clarifies things more.

Not necessarily. Maybe in USA but in many parts of the world education is free. But that's besides the point. We are talking if something is like this or like that for you, the end user of course. Take a sugar-free chocolate. For me, the one eating the chocolate, it has no sugar. It is sugar free. But am sure in the process of making it they may have used sugar, or the people making it may eat sugary foods, and so forth. But would be ridiculous, just because of that, to call the end product not sugar-free.

if you don't pay for something this does not mean a) nobody pays for this b) nobody sells your data for profit c) nobody uses the resource for influence, propaganda or ads of some things.
everything is paid for. just some things are not evidently seen at first glance.

you cannot run anything in IT without processors, servers, networks, etc. this all is money. a lot of money. and thousands of people maintaining all the structure. and they want to eat. so nithing is free. well, except of sunlight and the weather :) but software definitely takes a lot of efforts and this only may seen "free". it is really just other people's money.
If I give you an apple for free. Like, here take it. Would you say it was not free for you just because I had to eat to have energy to give you the apple, and I paid for the food? We are talking about "free for you" or "trade free for you". So yes those services you see in the directory are trade-free for you.

the example is logically wrong. human labor is not material, it cannot be recycled. it's used over and over. partially, we can use automation for changing human labor but then we need the work of mecahnics designers, programmers and those who makes robots themselves. so this is the point.
I'm mathematician. don't try to fool me with fake logic. it does not work.

And they can do the work because they want to do the work. Win win. No need to pay them, and they will probably have a better life because they are not forced to trade (work for something else).
and we pay for human labor, first of all. even to mine some resources a lot of work is needed. and this work is paid. paid on every stage from the basic resources excavation to processing. manufacture, logistics, distribution for end users and possible support.
Yes humans are mostly forced in such trades. Which is such a shame and unacceptable, If these people had access as trade-free to their basic needs there are serious chances for them to refuse such jobs. We need to detach humans from forced trade. We need to provide a life for humans, like a basic life at least where their basic needs are met trade-free. Else our society will always rely on slaves and forced labor.
nope. nobody is "forced"! this is normal economical model for differentiation of labor. money is just equivalent of human work. one can sell his time and experience and get money, and then exchange it for production made by other people. this is normal. nothing is wrong about it.
My friend, how can you say that nobody is forced to trade in our world? Are you like Russia saying that nobody in Ukraine has died? Or that they are not at war, this is a special intervention in Ukraine to free the people there?
Are you serious that people are not forced to trade? What are my options then? Enlighten me. Say I do not trade because I refuse to. Then what happens to me? Become one with Earth?

Why aren't you just coding and enjoy doing that? Can you just code and also have access to food? If not then you are trapped and you have to code in exchange for food, else you are fucked. If you don't see this as problematic then you have to think a bit deeper and more carefully.
I do. I like my job. but I want to EAT! man, I don't exist virtually here. I have a physical body and I need many things to live: goods, home bills, clothes, technics. this server, at last - you write these messages and they're stored on my server. I PAY for it. so this is not "free messages" or "free Fediverse". everything is paid for by someone.

we, programmers, work, earn money and can afford to spend some spare time like weekends for free software. but free software does not make a dinner, does not provides computers for programming or servers for you to be able to write these messages. this is all paid by admins of servers, by developers and by people that donmate MONEY to opensource. I emphasize the word money. nobody wants donating books or something. this won't help in servers support in any way.

No idea what you are trying to argue here. I have my own instance, this one am using, and some 500 users use it. I have many instances see trom.tf/ - I know very well. But what's your point?
We provide them as trade-free for anyone. We ask nothing in return for these services. You get my point?

You mean slavery, climate change, corruption, waste and such? Very simple, humans are forced and entangled with trade, thus they want more for themselves at any costs. That's the incentive. And so oil companies trade oil for fortune, and they don't want to switch to renewables since oil is profitable, it is a good trade for them. Thus the lobby governments to keep that status quo. Also, if it costs me more to recycle my waste than dumping it into the river, then I'll do that. Want more examples? I have written huge books about these. See tromsite.com/books
It is all related to trade of course. That's the foundation of our global societies from china to usa and everything in between.

It is no problem for you because you don't understand the global impact of this practice. The simple act of eating chocolate means millions of slave children that are on cocoa plantations. That's 1 example. All due to trade, because we trade cocoa for this and that. So people are incentivized to maximize their profits. Slaves are free. That's a great business plan.

Right...you mean the ones who are playing the game and are successful at it, are the most reliable to objectively analyze the game? Sounds really smart.

I won't read books about money by the man that had no money. this is ridiculous. have you ever seen a man that wrote books on programming that has never written a program? or a man that wrote books on constuction having not built even a shack. and then why should I read wild fantasies of a man that was poor like a rat for whole his life about "how economics should work"? he didn't know a shit about economics.

Also you understood nothing from this discussion. I was never saying we should trade code for milk, or sex for shoes. I am saying the exact opposite. We should go beyond trade and share things, and do more volunteer work, and be free from this trade enslavement. Do it in organized fashion like we showcase here directory.trade-free.org/ . No need to drag a dead and wasteful system of trade into a present where we have so much abundance that we are creating mountains of waste out of it.
from my side, I have my own "sanctions" on putler and his gang: I don't work for any of their business, for companies that are affiliated with military, or with breaking the Internet connectivity with different bans and prohibiting people from getting information. I don't buy any goods that are produced by companies of putler's cronies. but this is all I can do about it. I'm not a Terminator to destroy the bunker and stop the war.

I cannot accept this. but many people are just usual workers and often they have no choise where to work in their little towns. they often have only one factory in a town that belongs to some olygarch and no any variants. they have no savings to live without job for some time or move somewhere. so they should not be banned for paying taxes. they cannot avoid this, whatever they do.

people in little towns are very poor in this country. they make much less than $100 per month and this is beyond the imaginable level to survive. I don't know how they live. and such professions as teachers, nurses, common workers often make 7-10 thousands of roubles, nowadays this is 50-70 dollars. and now they got additional troubles with blocked cards, broken access to networks, closed shops and many more. and they expect they will go to protests? no way. all they can do now is surviving. people cannot go for rallies if they have troubles with food and basic needs. they're forced to work more, to run to banks trying to get their little money, to seek for some cheap food to feed their kids. and this is what's going on. and people won't do any revolutions, they have no time for this.

No photos, no videos. Almost as if this war plays on a virtual map with people in suits commenting about it. Fuck Russia Today now you can see that they are really scumbags.

Here's something positive videoneat.com/documentaries/22β¦
The Green Planet documentary. It is one of the best documentaries I've seen. And I've seen a lot of documentaries. Anthropomorphism aside, this documentary is astonishingly unique. #tromlive
The Green Planet
Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, The Green Planet will reveal the strange and wonderful world of plants like never before.VideoNeat

Yes because they put plants in a new perspective with some amazing timelapses. I was impressed by this documentary.
BTW, I feel like Anthropomorphism is a common issue for many nature documentaries
100%. Very sad that they are going for this approach. Let the randomness and unknown of nature tell the story, not the human projection.

Yeah, I know everyone hates putin and all, but if this conflict continues on like this and everyone starts cornering him like this, then he'll be taking more violent measures, which can't be good. Nuclear weapons worry me.....
So yah officially Borg + Mega are backing up all of my stuff. It is a bit more expensive but works great. In total 360 Euros a year. That's 30 Euros a month. Luckily people donated for a 1 year payment so now it is all paid. 30 Euros a month seems like a lot of money but paying it yearly to have full backups of everything, including the servers, trom.tf, all of our TROM websites and files, all that you see on videoneat.com, the TROM II documentary project and all that, doesn't seem that much. We are talking about 10TB of backups. #tromlive

New TROMjaro ISO is out forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-β¦ - just a few updates/changes. #tromlive
TROMjaro 2022.02.27
Improvements/Changes: Latest ISO did not use the latest LTS Kernel. Sorry about that. The latest ISO only used the latest kernel (515) for the live ISO. We fixed it now. To migrate to kernel515 you have to do it via Add/Remove Software.TROMjaro Forum
