@PeerTube has released a new major version of their video platform software https://framablog.org/2023/11/28/peertube-v6-is-out-and-powered-by-your-ideas/ - these people are amazing and are making Peertube the best video platform software in the world.
We will try to get new creators to our instance https://videos.trom.tf from now on, because what we lack is content. Everyone flocks to Youtube because "everyone is there" and youtube allows them to make money off of their videos (a very bad incentive). Even the people who complain about how there is no online privacy anymore, and hate ads and data collection (basically hate these online trades and their side effects), are still in a bondage relationship with these monsters. They are enslaved to them. But they and us, have to find the willpower to ditch the old world and create the new one, be it online or offline.
Be brave people, have the guts, and prioritize Peertube over Youtube! Else we cannot change anything....

We have removed Paypal from our donation options for our 200 for TROM campaign https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ because it was not working properly and because Paypal was not supporting recurring donations without a card anyway, therefore you were still forced to use a card for creating a donation. Therefore we are now relying one Stripe for the donations, which works perfectly fine. Anyone who has a credit card can donate to our ongoing campaign.
Those who are still donating through Paypal can still donate, so no worries about that. But if you can switch to Stripe it would be more reliable. Simple log in to https://www.tromsite.com/access and under the Donor Dashboard change the payment option. In case you need help contact us via https://www.tromsite.com/contact/
And a lot of thank-yous to those who support TROM via our campaign. We are still in need of a lot more support so if you can, please consider a donation.

Thank you Adam for becoming a supporter for our 200 for TROM campaign - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - there are currently 38 people supporting us. We need 200 in total. It is just 5 Euros a month to support TROM forever basically. So please, if you can, help us.
You are supporting many projects: from a lot of trade-free content to many trade-free services like social networks, video platforms, and operating system and more.

Video and Music, two pieces of media almost entirely owned by a few giant companies. And they only allow you to enjoy them if you trade your attention primarily (watch ads), or data, or currency. That in a world where the digitization of media allows us to copy and share them infinitely at almost no cost in terms of resources.
That being said, you can still access these via trade-free interfaces.
For desktop use:
FreeTube https://freetubeapp.io - to access Youtube without ads, data collection or limitations.
Nuclear Player https://nuclear.js.org/ - to listen to any song that's out there. Again no ads, no data collection, no bullshit.
For mobile (android):
NewPipe https://newpipe.net/ - for a trade-free Youtube
InnerTune https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.zionhuang.music/ - listen to any song you want without trading for it.

The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus: @rokosun managed to re-write from scratch our TROMjaro Theme Switcher and TROMjaro Welcome. He made them in a way that are a lot better in terms of the code but also how they integrate into the desktop.TROMjaro Forum
@Rokosun has fully rebuilt our TROMjaro Welcome app from scratch. Now it is a lot more elegant in terms of the code, and opens up a lot more possibilities for us to integrate more features into it. Something that we will do in the very near future.
TROMjaro is a Trade-Free Operating System. No ads, no data collection, no free trials, no bullshit.

Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting TROM financially every single month!
We provide a lot of trade-free content and services, and we will provide more. Right now we are still far behind what we need to run this project in a sustainable way, but via our 200 for TROM campaign (see http://tromsite.com/donate) we hope that in time, with little steps, we will achieve that.
Thank you to all of you! #tromlive

Our TROMjaro Theme Switcher has been fully re-written by @Rokosun in Nim and the owlkettle library. Our theme switcher is now made in a more sane way.
When you select a theme it will remain highlighted using the accent color of the selected theme. The notifications are also improved and you can see the theme icon in the notification preview.
Roko had to learn all of these from scratch, in order to make it. He is always improving our custom TROMjaro scripts and on top of that he is a proper human being: calm, nice, smart, down to Earth, and so friendly. How awesome that he is helping TROM so much without asking anything in return. That0s becuase he does not "work for TROM", we all work together to build something important and useful!

> I think, I'll rewrite a welcome app in #Nim too someday.
You don't have to, I'm working on it as we speak, haha 😆 @tio asked me if I could also rewrite our Layout Switcher in Nim, so maybe I'll do that too let's see. Overall I'm really glad to have found this owlkettle library, I'm forever grateful to the developers of that library because it is what made it possible for me to write GUI apps, the developer even made some tutorials on YouTube which were extremely helpful.

We had to remove the donor wall from https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ because it was incorrectly displaying the donors. At times it was displaying the donors who donated for other campaigns, or displaying those that canceled their monthly support. Sorry about that. If we make it work we will add it back.
A massive thank you to everyone who goes out of their way and donates 5 Euros a month to support this massive project of ours. We will produce more content and projects for sure!

Thank you Ioana for becoming the 38th TROM Supporter! :) - We need to find 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month for TROM to support us forever - see https://www.tromsite.com/donate/
Currently we are working on managing our backups a bit better because it has become quite expensive to backup TB of data. We work on a new release of TROMjaro too, and more such technical stuff.
However soon we will shift gears and do more TROMcasts and hopefully either start creating new books that are already in the making, or transform them into a long-term video series. If we reach the 200 for TROM goal, then it will be all of that, and more, plus no more stress. To be able to continue to fight, while not getting rich off of it.
In the long term, like we said before, we'd like to create a decentralized sharing platform where people can share from gadgets to food and everything in between.
TROM is active, and more so when we get new supporters! :) Thank you!

TROM Files (Nextcloud) provides 10 GB of storage space for everyone! And we can extend up to 20 GB to whoever needs more storage. All trade-free.
TROM Files is like Google Drive + Google Photos + Trello + more into one single package, but no bullshit subscriptions, ads, data collection.
You have access to Collabora (Libreoffice cloud) - a powerful Office suite that allows you to edit any documents and collaborate on them.
You have access to a Photo Gallery app and the ability to edit your photos directly in TROM Files:
You have access to a Notes app and a Music player. Plus "Deck" to organize your teams and tasks.:
Lastly you have access to a fully featured Calendar:
Please share so that everyone takes advantage of this. There is no catch if you understand what we do at TROM. We've been creating trade-free materials and services since 2011.
And please consider becoming one of the 200 people that we need in order to support this TROM project forever --->> https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

We are all humans. Atoms that make cells, cells that make us. We are not israelies, palestinians, americans, jews, arabs, europeans....we are HUMANS. And we have more than enough resources to share and live in a paradise on a beautiful and complex planet.
What a shame that the same brains who can understand how the universe works and the complexity that we have discovered so far, can be imprisoned by nonsense ideas and beliefs, and then kill each other because of these.
Shame!

Our next TROM big project will be a stuff sharing platform that uses the Activitypub protocol. So anyone can spin their own local sharing platform and connect with the rest. It is a long term plan, but we will try to do it. It is just an idea for now.... but the other TROM projects were ideas too.

All of our TROM Files are again available via TROM Files https://www.tromsite.com/save/ - we make everything available for everyone, as trade-free. If more people would practice what we do, to create trade-free goods and services, the world would be a better place. It is tough of course, since the entire society relies on trade. But we must start something like this, despite being so difficult.

The move of TROM.tf to the new server is now complete! As a bonus we have raised the storage for TROM Files from 5GB to 10GB for everyone, plus added Deck - an alternative to Trello, so that you can organize tasks and collaborate with others.
We've also increased the size limit for TROM Send from 5GB to 10GB.
The new server is more powerful and has a lot more storage space. But also a little bit more expensive. So please consider a donation to support TROM.
Cheers! #tromlive

Our TROM Videos, Peertube, now runs from our new server! https://videos.trom.tf
Unfortunately for TROM Send we could not properly restore it so we have lost the temporary files. Mind you these shared files via TROM Send are temporary. To make up for this we increased the 5Gb limit to 10GB per share! :)
Only one that needs to be moved is TROM Social (Friendica). Which should be moved tonight!

•> Aitana, an exuberant 25-year-old pink-haired woman from Barcelona, receives weekly private messages from celebrities asking her out. But this model is not real, she was created by her designers using AI.
The fact that people were asking her out means that they didn't disclose she was an AI generated image, so it's possible people started following her thinking she's a real person.
