Google is an ad company so better not use Gmail in the first place.

Heads-up, the default theme pack we use for TROMjaro got an update and basically some of the variants do not work anymore. These ones do not work:

Problem is, one of those variants that do not work is the default TROMjaro theme....for now change to a working one.

We will look into it and try to fix it soonish.

One is a billionaire who is selling all of his books, the other one is a quite-broke human who has the courage and decency to provide her book online for free. Trade-Free. No ads, no data collection, no subscribe-here-to-read bullshit.

That's the world in which we live. The ones who make a fortune are trained and incentivized to not even share their "must read" books for free, despite having so much wealth.

Oh look, Bill Gates released a book about "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster"! It must be important.... so it is worth 18$ to read.

Grab @Sasha 's book from here bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/ - she also talks a lot about Climate Change, solutions, and a new kind of worldview.

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.

Recently a backdoor was discovered in a core package that pretty much all Linux distributions use. Read more here. Since TROMjaro is a Manjaro fork (thus Arch) is very likely to no be affected by it. However it is better to be safe than sorry.

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.

„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 to come up with realistic solutions“

=> 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… - some half an hour long. First 2 minutes the audio sucks, sorry.
