- We will remove sketch.trom.tf/,diagrams.trom.tf/ and office.trom.tf/ . These services already exist via our TROM Files files.trom.tf/ . No point in wasting server resources for the same services. - We closed any new registrations for git.trom.tf/ . This service can be easily abused and we do not have the resources to deal with that. We accept new registrations but only for "friends". For people who we know or we can check to make sure they will not abuse the service. - We will remove meme.trom.tf - Probably no one uses that little service anyway.
On our planet humans have to trade themselves from age 18 to 65. After which they may have to struggle to live for a few more years. And we think that's a fair life for them.
The way we motivate humans is to make them terrified about their survival in our system. We make sure they understand that if they are not part of the trade-system they can die. That's how we run our society.
we make people work by threatening them with poverty, that's why its called wage slavery. Oh, and this doesn't apply to unpaid work like volunteering, so you gotta have a "job" where you trade or you're fucked. Well actually you don't even need to work much at all if you can trade some other way like through investments, so in the end it's not even about making people work but it's about making them trade and sell more consumerist shit to others, and destroy our environment in the process.
It is extremely unlikely that anyone has the time to finish any subtitles for the documentary in a week or so, before we release it. But I think it is totally fine to release the documentary together with proper english captions plus full transcriptions, so that after the release anyone can jump in to create subtitles.
We will make sure to have everything well organized in order for anyone to get involved collaboratively. Unfortunately we cannot find a proper collaborative tool for subtitling that is trade-free, so we will probably use amara.org.
We can say with certainty that the documentary will be fully released the next week. But we do not know the exact day.
Just to make this clear for people, English subtitles will be there for the documentary, the post is talking about subtitles in other languages for which the translation process takes a lot of time.
We do not care if you are a good human being, all we care is if you can trade and what you can trade. Jesus, Superman, and the like, would have to have side-jobs or rely on donations if they were to survive in our trade-based society.
The listing of sources for the TROM II documentary is done! They are categorized into Footage, Music and Sources. And there are a lot of them. Now the only thing left is to finish the transcriptions entirely. @Sasha, @Tio and @Rokosun are working on that. The first and third part are already done. And the rest will be done in just a few days time.
@Georgi @Alexio and @Roma are already working on the translations.
We will release the documentary before the end of this month regardless if we have any subtitles ready or not.
We've added a new service to our TROM.tf: TROM Translate - translate.trom.tf/
An alternative front-end for Google Translate, serving as a Free and Open Source translator with over a hundred languages available and text-to-speech.
We've tried LibreTranslate with self-hosted translation models, but it is very slow and lacks a lot of languages....for now we will stick to this Google Translate interface. This tool should be useful for those who will start to make subtitles for the TROM II documentary.
The transcription for the first part of the documentary is done. Thanks to @Sasha who worked so hard for these past days. She also finished the 3rd part but still needs a final check. @Tio made the transcription for the 2nd part, and @Rokosun is working on the last part.
Tomorrow the 2nd and 3rd part should be done.
We are already sending them to the translators, but we'd like to do so privately so that we do not ruin the documentary release for the rest, if we were to make them public. We plan to release the documentary later on this month, to give some time for the translators to translate.
Since this is a massive documentary it may not be enough time to translate it into other langues before the release, but it will for sure be translated in several languages in the following weeks/months.
The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus some more stuff. Fix: many apps take a long time to open Open the terminal and paste this: sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome - hit enter. Add your password.
A bunch of wonderful humans who came to visit us. People who help this project, and people who are very good friends. So calm, so nice, so human.
A huge thank you to them all. Too bad we could not gather all of them for the meeting. But we will do more.
We mostly meet in order to have some good time together but also to work on some TROM stuff. We will try to work on the transcriptions for the TROM II documentary and a few other things, will see.
Looking forward to release the documentary in June. #tromlive
We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires.
We already moved from Searx to SearxNG for search.trom.tf - let's see how it works. It does look a bit more modern and seems to work ok, tho we may need some time to properly tweak the settings to make it more reliable. #tromlive
Our search.trom.tf does not work very well lately, and today it was almost unusable. The package that we use from Yunohost has not been updated in many months. We were planning to switch from Searx to SearxNG anyway, so we may do that these days. Maybe even tomorrow. #tromlive
I played the TROM II trailer as part of my presentation about TROM.tf at a conference in Romania
Yesterday I played the TROM II trailer and mentioned TROM.tf as part of my presentation about the Rapid deployment of self-hosted cloud platforms for open-source web applications at a conference in Romania.
Today, on the second day of the conference, I presented again TROM.tf and YunoHost. I also had the opportunity to talk about trade-free, the TROM documentaries and the TROM tools during the Q&A about my presentation.
Also, I'm really surprised to see so many different languages here, never knew there are this many translators for TROM who speak such diverse languages. Anyway, I'm happy to see people helping out like this ๐
Yup already fixed yesterday maybe the fix didn't update on your end :D. Thanks as usual! Yeah several translators came from the newsletter I sent. We have around 1k people subscribed to our newsletter, I guess some people still use those :).

A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.
What are these humans living for?
In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.
Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.

The trailer for TROM II is done. We are now working on making a few subtitles for it. Maybe we will release tomorrow! A huge thanks to everyone who is helping with the subtitle making, and if you want to help please use our Matrix chat matrix.to/#/#translation:matriโฆ #tromlive
