Here it is a quick TROMjaro release with the awesome Layout Switch:

Six layouts:

- Windows
- MX Linux
- Unity
- Mac OS
- Gnome
- TOPX

The switch is much faster and reliable than before. Thanks again to @Future is FOSS !!

From now one we hope no more big changes. Keep TROMjaro stable and awesome. The only big changes will be:

- Maybe moving from Firefox to Librewolf
- Adding a few webapps for videoneat.com and such
- Creating packages for all of our scripts (4-5 or so packages)

Enjoy a trade-free Operating system! #tromlive

I agree with these points. But let's not forget we can't change people by naming and shaming. I'm Dutch, so I'm used to direct criticism, it's part of our culture. But some people tend to shy away when you address their ways as bad (such as not using open-source). I hope I'm wrong of course and we can just tell people to use something that aligns with our RBE goals without drama. But humans are emotional beings :)

How many people are involved with TROM? You're doing a lot!

in reply to TROM

impressive that you are able to do all this with a handful of people!

forum.tzm.community and meet.tzm.community are my efforts to change TZM more towards open-source. Practice what we preach. The server also runs on renewable energy.

I think activism is luxury. People need to have the time and energy to work on it. For some it's a bridge too far to switch to open-source software and decentral platforms. It's very sad. Also since some people stick to Discord. We should do better.

in reply to TZM Community Forum

Oh that's very nice! We should then keep in touch. We do a lot in that regard. We have a ton of tools and such. We can help each other ion that regards ofc. I like that you have Jitsi Meet on your server, it is something we do not have. We are on Matrix so if you wanna join our Discussion chat here matrix.to/#/#chat:matrix.trom.… - we can give you some tips if you want, and help here and there to setup some open source services on your server.

We see the value in the open source not simply because it is open, but because many such projects are trade-free. They do not want anything in return from you, the end user. And that creates better incentives overall.

in reply to TROM

hi! Sorry for the late response. I was super busy with work.

Let's indeed keep in touch! I'll install a Matrix client this week so that we can chat. I now use Element, which uses the private server from work. Multi account is not yet supported, so I'll use a GNOME Matrix client to connect with the regular Matrix network I guess.

I agree on what you say about open-source. But let's not forget that much work is done by Intel, RedHat, IBM, etc. It's not purely trade-free :) It can be though

in reply to TZM Community Forum

For example we contacted TZM, Peter Joseph, and others to ask them to move from the ad-networks to the networks we have that are trade-free. But no response. And I think they do not see the value in this. We have to showcase to the others that there are trade-free alternatives out there and maybe we can build more of them. But if you guys and others fighting this nonsense society, feel it is difficult to merely change your online presence to a saner alternative, how can we change this society? I am glad to see you on the Fediverse. What is the TZM Community Forum?

So in essence if we bring people to these alternative networks we also make a point about how facebook and the like are "bad" and why they are "bad" (because you have to trade with them - your data, attention, currency - and this incentivizes them to do a lot of "bad"); and at the same time we showcase that we can create trade-free social networks that are decentralized. We showcase how alternatives do work. Not to mention that we can keep people a bit more sane by nit having to use those ad-networks.

The blame game

We are releasing a new experimental feature for VideoNeat.com - The True Smart TV videoneat.com/tv/ - Designed to make people smart, not to collect their data or steal their attention.

All of the VideoNeat library condensed into a single thing. Enjoy growing a human mind, so we can prosper as a human species and move beyond this primitive trade-based society.

Can TV make people smart ? At least studies that youngest children (beyond 5)looking at TV loose big part of their cognitive, language and motor development.

Today it is an important day and TROM wishes you happy....happy launch-day! Instead of people celebrating the "birth of Jesus", a crazy man walking around telling lies and jokes to those around him about the origin of ourselves, instead of people pretending to actually celebrate that and instead buy more and more shit, we should celebrate the launch of the new James Webb Space Telescope !

A telescope that is built to see the first stars that were formed after the big bang. How amazing can this be!?

So instead of this:

Humans should celebrate this:

The fact that most people, the vast majority, will celebrate christmas today and not this launch that happens the same exact day, says a lot about our primitive society. For those who are curious about our existence and reality, here's the link to follow link.trom.tf/avoDce69 - watch it live there! In only 1-2 hours it will launch.

And watch this video to know a little bit more about this telescope and why it is so important ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=F9v6ykzQqZ…

We have 250 people using our Social trade-free platform social.trom.tf . We, who are the most active at TROM, are all there. It is an amazing platform and allows you to follow and interact with millions of humans. No ads, no tracking, no bullshit. Read more about it here trom.tf/social/

in reply to Janek F

Our websites should work great with non-mobile devices. I do test our websites for multiple resolutions. If I could snap my fingers and optimize them for mobile I would. But takes a lot of time and I (Tio) personally do not use a phone more than checking the weather and calling a few friends. So I am not willing to spend time on this, and test our websites for such resolutions.

But if any of the Linux phones out there would become usable, then I will spend some time fixing our websites for such small and narrow screens. I have that on my list for quite some time. But imagine that we have around 40 websites....and they have many pages each....to fix them all for such small and narrow screens is very time consuming....

In any case most of our websites are ok on small screens too...the above example is a part of a page that is messy.

I fixed the above issue for mobile....but I can't check every website and every page....

This is a great example of a trade-free service. No questions asked. Go and help others. If we could replicate this in many areas of our society, and multiply its powers, we may have a chance to move away from the many problems we face today. #tromlive
