Picking up where he left off in NOVAβs popular special, Hunting the Elements, David Pogue sets out on a worldwide quest to find the key molecules and chemical reactions that have paved the way for human civilization, life, and even the universe as we know it.

We've updated the presentation page for our TROM Files trom.tf/files/
See how awesome this is. LibreOffice in the cloud with collab editing tools (writer, spreadsheets, presentations, diagrams). Plus a Notes app, plus a powerful Photos app that allows you to organize your photos and videos and even edit them.
TROM Files can preview PDFs and multiple 3D file formats. And it has a built-in Music App so you can listen to your music/podcasts.
It's all about those files, and they are all encrypted. We have no clue what you are hosting with us.
Take advantage of it!

We moved from OnlyOffice to Collabora (Libreoffice) for our TROM Files. It is nicer, more simple, no BS integrations with 3rd parties like google and the like. No worries, there is compatibility between the files created with OnlyOffice and Collabora. Read more about the Nextcloud Collabora integration here nextcloud.com/office#nextcloudβ¦
And join our TROM Files here files.trom.tf
You get 5GB of space and we can increase up to 20GB if you need more.

We value us and the environment in terms of trading capabilities. That's what we define as "value".

Some TROM.tf cleanup:
- 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.
More cleanup to follow!

We care about producing more and more stuff, regardless of what impact that has on human lives or the environment. We call that "the economy".

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.

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.

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.
Enjoy!

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.
