TROMnews News is a bit overwhelming now, and I am going to try and fix it these days. I will try to add the news into categories such as health, tech, science, environment, so it is easier for people to follow the news. Now we get tens of news a day....overwhelming.
Monday I have the written driving exam, so today and tomorrow I am preparing more. I fuck hope I'll pass it. I learned a lot and out of the online tests they gave me I have passed more than 90% of them. Thousands and thousands of questions....so let's see. Considering the deplorable state of the english translation for these tests, I may fail it....
I want to start a video series but first I need to see how's with the riving exam on Monday....

Telemarketers - really good documentary. https://www.videoneat.com/documentaries/26028/telemarketers/ - and such a crazy ride. Another example of how this trade-system makes us all scumbags.

I think the difference between a cult and a religion is the number of followers. If Islam or Christianity were to have a few thousand members (a little minority) we would 100% consider them cults. And terrible/crazy/primitive ones for that matter.
Humans can be so brilliant, and yet so dumb....

In this situation it's so absurd that people have to buy the forest to keep it alive or pretend to be hunters. It shouldn't be like that at all, it shows how rigid and fucked this system is. Carpathia is awesome organization and they came up with such creative ideas, but it's sad that in order to keep something alive you have to buy it. And you don't buy it for yourself, that's actually will benefit everyone. absurd... #fucktrade

The Moon and Jupiter tonight:
The image is a composite - I took separate photos for each with the telescope and the phone. The original photo looks something like this through the binoculars:
But you can zoom into the first photo and you can even see Jupiter's moons :)

There are 4 services that we use for TROM.tf via @YunoHost that are either broken or not updated in some time. I will try to look more into, but these are :
Friendica https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh/pulls
Nextcloud https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh/pulls
Discourse that's broken https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/discourse_ynh
And unfortunately Peertube that seems to suffer from some bugs with the update https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh
If anyone can help out that'd be awesome, because it would help us all. If not at least support Yunohost financially if you can afford that https://donate.yunohost.org/
Yunohost is a fantastic project that allows us to provide so many trade-free services for everyone.
I hope they/we can find a solution for these packages....

I should've had recorded and made a documentary about my and Sasha's situation...4 years now and we still did not get any papers for Sasha. We've been through so much shit you can't imagine....just to let us live together. Now we thought that's it, finally, we paid a lawyer to submit all of the papers, I have a "job", and we were told that in 2 or so months we will have an answer. That was in September last year....
We contacted the lawyer today and we were told .... "Oh can take up to 7 months..." - fuck them. These robots...
I bet most people have no clue about how fucked up it is. To basically not be able to stay together unless you have a lot of money. Insane. And this is EU....Spain, wow civilizations. Fuck them, primitive tribes.
Maybe we will piece together the entire story with the little footage we have, and release a sort of documentary at one point. Because this is insanely ridiculous....

This is just inhumane..... There is no other way to describe it and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Often times when people bring up issues regarding racism and such I've never seen many of them mention this one, maybe there needs to be more awareness about this issue 'cause it's an important one.

This documentary is crazy. To think that this is happening in 2024 is insane. People treated like slaves in concentration camps, brainwashed to extremes.

I highly recommend this documentary!

TROMjaro 2024.01.07 (and a longish article) https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2024-01-07-and-a-longish-article/207 - improvements to our Layout Switcher thanks to @Rokosun and new default apps ;)

sudo pamac upgrade
gave me the updated Layout Switcher, but nothing else covered in your article.
This is a rolling release so no need to upgrade to any new version, you'll get the right updates directly to your system. The other changes are not that important I'd say and can be easily done by anyone who reads the release notes. Like in this release we replaced some default apps and I linked to the ones that we replaced so you can simply install them. But that's all.
So I replaced SMplayer with Celluloid, Gnome Usage with Resources, GUV with Cameractrls, and qTox with Jami. It is very very rare that we replace our default apps. So no, you do not have to do anything other than keeping your system updated and install whatever apps you want form the ones we replaced.

This photo looks fake, but it is not, and it is taken with a mobile phone. Plus I did no editing:
These are the islands where I live, and the wonderful night sky. You can see the Pleiades in the left top side, and that bright one top center is Jupiter:
4 minutes exposure with Pixel 4A.

A perspective photo that I really like. The moon and the bus. This is straight out of my phone - no telescope or binoculars, and no editing.

This is the best photo I could take of Saturn...
Only edited a bit the contrast/luminosity. Taken with Pixel 4A and Celestron 130 SLT. I know that people usually take such photos from lots of frames and they stack them together with specialized software, plus do a lot of editing after. Yeah their results are many times better, but for one right now I do not feel like spending hours to edit/create such a photo, and second when is the editing too fake? Too much? If you use special programs to reconstruct pixels on a low quality photo....then is almost like adding bits that are not even there....idk...
At least this sort of photo is one that I enjoy taking by looking at Saturn through my phone's camera live, and taking a brief photo. Then edited it for less than a minute.

This is Jupiter and 4 of its moons at daytime :)
I find it fascinating to see Jupiter when it is daytime. A bit bizarre. And beautiful.
