The entire first part of TROM II Documentary:

1h 7 minutes. Today it will be fully rendered so that I (Tio) can watch it in full for the first time. It will be published alongside the entire documentary whenever that will be finished :D .

I had to open that link in my browser, like how I would read an article if you just posted its link. I went back to my mastodon client to reply.

Not all of your posts are shown like this, but the articles definitely are. From what I understand, it'll detect if its an article by seeing if the post has a title, so on mastodon these ones will show the title with the link to the full article.

I actually did try out friendica using an account I had on venera.social because you said. Now I thought to give it a second shot since they made it work with all mastodon clients. I can have that old familiar look of mastodon while having the awesome features of friendica. So I tried it using fedilab and it was just too buggy, I couldn't even see my global timeline button. But I think this is the issue of the app itself and not friendica.
in reply to Rokosun

I tried using the @Tusky client and it was much better, 2 issues I had were these:

1. It truncates long posts under a "show more button", and there was no option to disable it.

2. If you @ mention someone on a post, it should bring me to that profile when clicking on it. But this doesn't work properly on tusky, it just says "Performing lookup" for a while and then opens up a random post. IDK if its a friendica issue or tusky issue.

in reply to TROM

Yeah, I'll give those other clients a try too when I have the time. Unfortunately, the client I use for mastodon, fedilab, just don't work properly on friendica. I just like tusky's UI out of all the others, that's why I tried that one next. I'll keep using that one if they fix the issues.

It'd be nice if there was a good friendica client with nice UI and all friendica features. These mastodon clients are made for mastodon and thus lack a lot of features provided by friendica

@tio @Tusky

in reply to Rokosun

The show more is a useful feature, else you`ll see massive posts...
in reply to Tio

Yeah maybe, but I'd still like to have an option to disable it. I see all of your long posts without that "show more" button on fedilab right now, so I'm used to it. So now it'd be hard for me click the show more button for every long post I see.
@Tusky @trom
in reply to Rokosun

Maybe it'd be best to have an option that allows you to set what "long" means to you, so you can set the number of lines to truncate and the ability to disable this truncation completely by setting the value as 0, that's how fedilab does it.
in reply to Rokosun

Fedilab is currently trying to rewrite some of their code to improve UI and stuff - toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1073283โ€ฆ

I'll just ping @apps here so maybe they would look into fixing these issues. Fedilab is actually the only app I could find on fdroid that explicitly said it supports friendica. But the friendica support on it is pretty bad right now, and there's definitely room for improvement.

Friendica is so underrated right now, and part of the reason is that it don't have a good mobile app

in reply to Rokosun

Yes, we have an issue where fixes will be brought to the new app.

I did try that via Syncthing. But now I do not have "another building" available. The only solution is to ask a friend to store some 8TB of data for me, which is a lot. We need very good speeds, I have to encrypt all data so whatever it reaches my friend's computer is encrypted so even he cannot access it. We need 20h uptime. It is too complicated and I did try.

52 minutes done for TROM II:


Well there might be slight improvements but the bulk of it is done. Notice in the photo how massive the work is, and on the other side how well TROMjaro XFCE copes with it. Maximized window + global menus + HUD, makes it so much better and easier to edit videos.

Kdenlive had a few major bugs but using the Appimage seems to be fine, considering TROM II is such a massive project.

Maybe we will finish the first part in a month or so. That will be a total of some 1h 20 minutes. Then we have to work a lot more for the next parts that are even more important. It will take many months to finish the documentary, maybe more than a year who knows.

We have a new cool tool thanks to @Alexio ! status.trom.tf/

This page shows in almost real time the status of all of our websites. And it is hosted and managed by Alexio so that if our servers are down, this page won't be affected.

Big thanks to Alexio for this!

Such a page is important especially for trom.tf services, so that you can see what services are more reliable. And for us to keep track of what websites may not work properly, so that we can fix them. #tromimg



Romania and COVID, a case of mistrust perhaps.

Don't forget today, we have a great TROM-Cast with Cory Doctorow:

We are going to dissect The Internet. You can watch it live here where we also have a live chat now: tromsite.com/live/

On 14th at 21:00 Madrid time we will have a very interesting live:

In this TROM-Cast we will discuss The Internet. What is the Internet and what does it do to our lives? Is it just merely a reflection of our trade-based society, but this time we trade more with our data and attention rather than our currencies?

We are thrilled to have Cory Doctorow. From his Wikipedia page: Cory is a "blogger, journalist, and science fiction author who served as co-editor of the blog Boing Boing. He is an activist in favour of liberalising copyright laws and a proponent of the Creative Commons organization, using some of their licences for his books. Some common themes of his work include digital rights management, file sharing, and post-scarcity economics."

Visit his websites at craphound.com/ and pluralistic.net/

The live will be available here tromsite.com/live/ - and now we have a livechat!

Look at these ones, so much "biodiversity". Females, males, different colors....


All corrupted aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/4/pโ€ฆ

We don't need more women in politics, or people of different "races", as if there is more than one human race. We need no politics at all. We need to understand what creates bad behaviors and try to prevent that. And it is quite simple: treat people like you treat dogs in more developed countries. Take care of them. Make sure they are fed, have enough free time, access to at least their basic needs. All trade-free. And then they will become better humans and we can change our society for the better. #tromimg

Hey people, we have added a new cool thing to our TROM Social, the presentation page. Here trom.tf/social/ (scroll down a bit). It is a list of sources we recommend for you to follow on TROM Social. It is as easy as copy paste these sources to your contacts' list. We are adding a lot more so check it out from time to time. The direct link is this trom.tf/social/#rec

Just a reminder that religion is a pile of primitive ideas:

It is as crazy as flat earthers, qanon, and all of these conspiracies, if not crazier. Unfortunately it is wrapped in a nice package in today's society. But yah, lets not forget that religions are just a bunch of cults, surrounded by crazy people. #tromimg
in reply to johannes

The truth is religion is silly and not real. Yes, we should be nice to each other, but if we are to make fun of flat earthers and the like, then religion should not be on our "exempt" list.
in reply to Tio

As a species we need to overcome the ignorance,and make most of what we already know.Now as for flatearthers,the space age is on its way.My prediction is that after 50 years or so, everyone would finally understand the curveture of the earth and would start thinking about other planets/lifeforms.Just to be clear,we are still in the information age,that will hopefully remove ignorance and stupidity๐Ÿ™‚


We are very happy to announce yet another service part of our trom.tf project: TROMchat chat.trom.tf/ See more info here: trom.tf/chat/


This is a Matrix chat. Matrix is like Email, a protocol. Which means it is decentralized. We provide a server and a chat so that anyone can create an account and use. It is an amazing chat, a true repalcement for any sort of chats such as Telegram, Discord, and so forth. Encrypted, unlimited, trade-free. See all of the features here trom.tf/chat/

We invite you to join and ditch the pesky trade-based chats. Tens of millions are already using this protocol and our TROM team resides there too.

These are our public chatrooms:

#chat:matrix.trom.tf
#tromjaro:matrix.trom.tf
#translation:matrix.trom.tf

Simply add them to your Matrix account as rooms. Simple. And see you there! #tromimg

Unfortunately our last TROMcast recording was lost...it was a personal mistake (me, Tio) in the way I setup the live. See the explanation here social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4โ€ฆ

We are very very sorry because it was a great discussion with Dr. Sophia Moskalenko - you can follow her on Twitter via RSS here bird.trom.tf/sophiamoskalen1 . In the next TROMcast I will try to summarize a bit our discussion. Again, very sorry....

Here's some positiveness tho. These are little bugs. They are not plants/leafs.


How amazing is nature....these are the true superheroes with superpowers :). Photo grabbed from our tromnews.com/photos/ - make sure you use our TROMnews to discover more such amazing things. #tromimg



Do not move the trash from one place to another




I think this image sums up pretty well the current stupidity, where people fear the vaccines without knowing anything about vaccines.


Instead of listening to a world-wide scientific consensus, they think it is more reasonable to listen to some facebook or youtube personalities.

Doubt is necessary. But uneducated and unfounded doubt, is dangerous.

If the primitive minds of the so rich tribes do not want the vaccines, give them to those poor tribes that need them desperately.

TROM-Cast: Qanon and the Like

We are very happy to announce that we will have a discussion with Dr. Sophia Moskalenko who is "a social psychologist studying mass identity, inter-group conflict and the appeal of conspiracy theories."

And

"After she received her Ph.D from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, her research has focused on the psychology of radicalization and martyrdom. As a research fellow at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (NC-START) she has worked on projects commissioned by the Department of Defence, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State. "

We will dive deep into the Qanon conspiracy and other similar conspiracies, and touch upon how we can deal with these situations in a realistic manner.

Stay tuned! We will go live at tromsite.com/live/
