Netzwerkstatt Aschaffenburg eV
Computers have become an integral part of our world. Desktop PCs, laptops or even smartphones or tablets are useful devices that should be available to everyone.
Companies, institutions such as schools or offices and also private individuals regularly replace their systems due to technical progress or defective parts; The “old” devices are disposed of or sit unused in the basement or attic.
———————-
The Netzwerkstatt Aschaffenburg eV is a registered non-profit association and was founded in the summer of 2020 by 7 motivated and more or less young people.
In our free time, we bring donated devices into usable condition and pass them on to people in need or charitable organizations.

Thank you so much Eduard for becoming the 77th supporter of TROM! We run a unique fundraiser for TROM in that we need only 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support us for the long run.
Distributed support so that it won't put a big toll on anyone, and a limited goal so that we do not get rich.
If you appreciate the so many things that we do at TROM (see tromsite.com) then please consider supporting us.

I for one started to care more when my videos started to be banned on those platforms, alongside some of my posts. Videos and posts that were educational and I never made any money off of them. So I, being hurt, started to care more about using other platforms. Thus, pain. That combined with my understanding about how these platforms like ytb, twitter, fb and the like operate, that they are in fact businesses/markets and not "networks".
So I think that's one way for people to start to care about changing some of their digital habits: to be extremely pissed off at those platforms, while at the same time have some curiosity to try something different.
It is very difficult, but from my experience what works is to be an example. I moved and gave no fucks about the other platforms so if anyone wanted to follow our TROM project or me, they had no choice but to move too. I made a bunch of people switch to these other alternatives.

Help instead of throwing away!
Many people are unable to participate in the digital world and e-learning because they or their supporting institutions cannot afford the appropriate equipment. “PCs for All” is doing something about it.
The non-profit organization “PCs for All” accepts used PCs, laptops, monitors and accessories in the form of donations. These devices are processed by our team and then given free of charge to schools, charitable NGOs and people who cannot afford them themselves.
The children and young people receive a fully functional device and can learn more easily for school, become smart and keep in touch with their family and friends.

Our Friendica instance got updated to the latest stable and all of our custom themes were updated and we added 2 more: Brown and Grey.
Go to Settings - Display to test them out.
They will be shared with the Friendica's developers if they want to include them in the default Friendica's themes or get some ideas about future changes.
Big thanks to these people who create Friendica for being so awesome and for keeping Friendica so useful and feature-rich!

GNUnet
The conventional Internet is currently like a system of roads with deep potholes and highwaymen all over the place. Even if you still can use the roads (e.g. send emails, or browse websites) your vehicle might get hijacked, damaged, or long arms might reach into its back and steal your items (data) to use it against you and sell it to others – while you can’t even notice the thievery nor accuse and hold the scroungers accountable. The Internet was not designed with security in mind: protecting against address forgery, routers learning metadata, or choosing trustworthy third parties is nontrivial and sometimes impossible.

=> what kind of solution could this be? I‘m just curious as I couldn’t find any hint on your website. How could a word without trade look like?

in reply to 💠 Dave No One 💠 • • •Since the topic is of course complicated it requires a longer answer.
First is the book we wrote called The Origin of Most Problems where we talk about that. You can read it here - tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d… . It is indeed a very long book but the way we make our books is different from "normal" books. We design them in a more "fun" way and make them interactive at times. This one is deigned as a comic-book.
Second, we released a documentary last year called: A Message to the Aliens - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro… - this addresses your question too. It is 5 hours long divided into 4 parts.
Lastly I made a presentation last year about our project and what a world without trade may look like - videos.trom.tf/w/6R92qduTeGHma… - so
