How we Made a Global Impact in One Day - videos.trom.tf/w/hHmEdTrtS7Pwq… by @Dima

This system of trade incentivizes more people to waste plastic and pollute, than use it wisely or cleanup like these people do. Ultimately we need to deal with this bad and global incentive because the balance is tilted in the wrong way.

TROM II: How Mindblowing it is - videos.trom.tf/w/nXfbyGrxEVdiu…

We are the Universe pondering about its own existence. How sad is it that we've created a society that denies people of this privilege...

The people are being consumed by the so called "free" entertainment.

But it is not "free". It is dumb and trade-based. TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and so forth mandate that you give them your data and attention (watch ads) in order to use their platforms. In return they give you access to a ton of dumbed down content.

Trading stupidity is much easier than trading well made content. Therefore stupidity evolves faster in a trade-based society.

To make a good researched video can take months, to make a dumbed down one can take minutes. To write a good book about real and important things, and research for it, takes months or years. To write bullshit fictional stories takes a lot less. Music, movies, articles, they are all under the influence of trade, allowing simplistic content to thrive while good one to barely breath.

It is this trade based society to be blamed for the vast majority of the destruction, suffering and idiocy we see worldwide.

World Weather Attribution

World Weather Attribution is an academic collaboration studying extreme event attribution, calculations of the impact of climate change on extreme meteorological events such as heat waves, droughts, and storms. When an extreme event occurs, the project computes the likelihood that the occurrence, intensity, and duration of the event was due to climate change. The project specializes in producing reports rapidly, while news of the event is still fresh.

The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus we had to remove the Pika Backup app but don’t worry, here’s why: The AUR have their own repositories of prebuilt packages that they hand pick to maintain.


Our websites are down, except trom.tf. Likely an issue with the hosting provider. status.tromsite.com/
in reply to TROM

At times they seem to be working, but then not are down again...we contacted the server provider.

Why we are Cutting & Burning Trees on Deserted Island ? - videos.trom.tf/w/mCMwKVPQDufg3…

By @Dima : I was taking a part in Alvar grassland restoration camp in Estonia. Which was happening on a tiny island of Kesselaid. Alavar is a very rare and unique biological environment which support large biodiversity of plants and insects.
