TROM II: Society

Despite what most people may believe, the human society, from China to the US, from Europe to Africa, and everywhere else, is based primarily, if not entirely, on a practice that dates back thousands of years. That practice dictates how humans treat others and the environment around them. What movies they make, what books they write, what products they create, who and what they care about, and what they prioritize.

From science to entertainment, or the day to day life, this old practice is a force that all humans are slaves to.

TROM II: Humans

What does Romania, Russia, Latvia, Germany, and the United States have in common? A planet, and the human imagination. We imagine borders, nationalities, and differences. In truth we are all very much the same. We grow up in a culture, we watch the same TV, listen to the same music, follow similar traditions. We are “educated” and “trained” by institutions that are rarely questioned by the masses.

So how does a newborn human become someone in this culture of humans? And how does the human-invented world contrast with the vast universe we are part of?

TROM II: A Message to the Aliens (2023)


Ok people, the documentary is finally available. Please keep your expectations low and keep in mind that this documentary is made mostly by one human being, with limited resources. We have not used any stock footage (except maybe 2-3) so everything you'll see is real and genuine.

Also, keep in mind that this is not the beginning or the end of anything, but a continuation of our work for this TROM project. We will create more materials and projects.

Watch it here tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…
Download it from here tromsite.com/save/

We hope this documentary can provide something valuable for you.

TROM Call (Jitsi) was removed from the front page of trom.tf because it was not working properly. Unfortunately. It will still be accessible via the old URL and we will try to fix it, but until then it makes no sense to "promote" a broken service. TROM.tf is about services that work. #tromlive

The TROM II Documentary will be released tomorrow at tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…

It will be available for everyone, of course, and with proper English captions and sources. We are streaming it via our own video platform videos.trom.tf (Peertube) so there will be no censorship this time.


Keep in mind, this documentary style is very different from the first documentary. This is more of a "personal" documentary that revolves around 5 people, but it expands far more than just that, presenting an "overview" of our society from an alien perspective. Please keep your expectations low and keep in mind that most of the work was done by one single human being, from recordings to editing and so forth.

Also, we used no stock footage, so everything you see there is real. No fake bullshit.

Ok. We hope you'll get some value out of 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!

Nextcloud is generally a very private & secure option compared to other could hosting services, but you should keep in mind that it doesn't provide end-to-end encryption by default, so I recommend everyone encrypt their sensitive files before uploading.

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#nextcloud…

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.

Quote of the day.

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!

Quote of the day.

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".

Quote of the day.

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.

Quote of the day.

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.

in reply to TROM

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.
