TROM
This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance ...videos.trom.tf

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. βPCs for Allβ is doing something about it.
The non-profit organization βPCs for Allβ 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!

InvoicePlane
InvoicePlane is a free and open source invoicing application. The project is the official successor and owner of the codebase of FusionInvoice version 1.x, which was written by Jesse Terry. FusionInvoice was an open source software before but was transformed into a commercial product with the release of version 2.x.
Kovah, the InvoicePlane project leader, took over the codebase and restarted the project with a new name: InvoicePlane.

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 β while you canβt 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.

Since there are still some people who donate regularly via Patreon or Liberapay for our project, we have added that amount of money to our 200 for TROM campaign, as "people" supporting us. In a way that would be around 76 people out of 200 that we need. tromsite.com/donate/
Not bad. Almost 40% of the support that we need.
If we'll reach 100% then TROM will be sustainable indefinitely.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plasβ¦
Of course...one must be very skeptical when the companies producing plastic are so keen about "recycling". Of course they like these programs even if they do not work (which is the case today) since it allows them to produce more plastic and make more profits.
Recycling is only relevant when there is not a huge incentive to produce waste in the first place.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds
The world produces an average of 430 million metric tons of plastic each year. The United States alone produces tens of millions of tons of plastic waste annually. Yet on average, only about 5 to 6 percent of plastic in the U.S. is recycled.Ali Rogin (PBS NewsHour)

Many thanks!

We are now using the wonderful listmonk.app/ for our TROM Newsletter. Open Source and awesome! A proper self hosted Newsletter system. You can subscribe here newsletter.tromsite.com/subscrβ¦
That being said we have removed the email notifications when new posts are created for all of our websites: tromjaro.com, videoneat.com, directory.trade-free.org, and so forth. This was done because the plugin we were using was discontinued for security reasons, but also because it is not a great idea to send emails like that, from a Wordpress website. And on top of this very very few people were using this feature.
All of our websites have a "follow" page where you can follow them via RSS or the fediverse.

Unknown parent • •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.
