TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (documentary) - https://www.tromsite.com/documentaries/trom2/

Now fully subtitled into Spanish, making it available to many millions of people who only speak spanish. All thanks to the wonderful Rafa and Vicky, and Cesar.

The amount of work to subtitle such a documentary in a professional way is quite intense and these people are doing it without asking anything in return. That's how we all should be. To do the things we feel are important and not worry about how to survive on this planet.

If you want to help us translate the documentary in more languages please contact us. https://www.tromsite.com/contact/

Thank you Georgi for becoming one of the 200 for TROM! https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - There are 39 people who donate 5 Euros a month to support TROM forever. In small steps we may reach the goal eventually.

Mind you we only accept 5 Euros donations and only from 200 people so that we keep it small and sustainable. Please consider becoming one of these wonderful people. Of course, if you can afford it.

This month we will do a live TROM-Cast all about the future plans for the next year. Stay tuned!

Thank you S. for becoming one of the 200 people that we need to support TROM forever. See https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Actually S. had a lot of issues donating since his Mastercard refused the donation. After weeks of trying to figure out what is the issue he finally went to the bank and asked to allow for European payments. And then it all worked fine.

A few people tried to donate to our campaign using Mastercards and the donations failed. Now we know why. Some banks refuse these sorts of payments. If you can, please go talk to your bank to unblock these payments.

Much thank yous for supporting TROM financially. You support a lot of projects!

TROM part 3, Earth, now fully subtitled into Spanish thanks to Rafa, Vicky and Cesar! - https://videos.trom.tf/w/59Da9g1PnyJnFkvR3yRMWC

TROM II: 3. Earth


There is only one, and one only. A few kilometers of crust layered with a few kilometers of atmosphere. A seemingly endless variety of plants and animals. And yet, the 8 billion humans inhabiting it are naively ignoring the fragility of this ecosystem. If Earth was an island, it would be the only one in a vast empty ocean.

Humans are the rulers of this world, with no corner left untouched by them. Rulers who think that they might be exempt from the rest of nature. But the destruction of this habitat is starting to have

@PeerTube we have released our documentary exclusively on Peertube and only there, in June. It is 5 hours long, 4 parts, and we worked 3 years to make it. Here it is https://videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrWawHkggKi7Wz

Please consider adding it to your https://joinpeertube.org/#find-peertube-videos website as a showcase of original Peertube releases if you think it is worth it. We have it subtitled in a few languages already and it is basically about why the bad things that happen in the world (where do they originate from), but also about how we could maybe change that. It is about open source, volunteers, and overall treating people as humans and helping them. To help each other.

Please consider it and maybe our instance too - https://videos.trom.tf - dedicated to science/technology/activism.

Thank you a lot Tio !


Thank you to everyone who is supporting our TROM project via donations. Currently we have 36 people supporting our 200 for TROM cause https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - basically we need 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month to support TROM forever. Distributing the toll we put on everyone to make the project sustainable.

You support some 20 websites and a lot of digital materials, plus future projects. See the main website https://www.tromsite.com and the tools that we have.

It would be amazing to achieve this goal and it is not an unrealistic one. Thousands of people use our tools and websites.

Again a big thank you to everyone!

PeerTube reshared this.


@PeerTube has released a new major version of their video platform software https://framablog.org/2023/11/28/peertube-v6-is-out-and-powered-by-your-ideas/ - these people are amazing and are making Peertube the best video platform software in the world.

We will try to get new creators to our instance https://videos.trom.tf from now on, because what we lack is content. Everyone flocks to Youtube because "everyone is there" and youtube allows them to make money off of their videos (a very bad incentive). Even the people who complain about how there is no online privacy anymore, and hate ads and data collection (basically hate these online trades and their side effects), are still in a bondage relationship with these monsters. They are enslaved to them. But they and us, have to find the willpower to ditch the old world and create the new one, be it online or offline.

Be brave people, have the guts, and prioritize Peertube over Youtube! Else we cannot change anything....

the biggest trouble I see with PeerTube is the hosting issue (like, if you want an hour long documentary, for example, in high quality, that's a lot of disk storage and bandwidth that you gotta pay for if even one person watches it). I really want PeerTube to succeed. I think what people really need at the moment is hosting solutions that can handle the giant flow of data that even one YouTube channel can generate. That's the problem to be solved I think.

We recently released a 5 hours documentary exclusively on Peertube. See https://videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrWawHkggKi7Wz . The diskspace is quite cheap nowadays plus you can host it locally on your computer via Yunohost. We run Peertube plus several other services (nextcloud, matrix, and so forth) via https://trom.tf with around 40 Euros a month for unlimited bandwidth and some 4TB of SSD storage. We have thousands of videos on our Peertube instance and overall thousands of people use our services

Therefore it is quite achievable.



Great documentary!

We have removed Paypal from our donation options for our 200 for TROM campaign https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ because it was not working properly and because Paypal was not supporting recurring donations without a card anyway, therefore you were still forced to use a card for creating a donation. Therefore we are now relying one Stripe for the donations, which works perfectly fine. Anyone who has a credit card can donate to our ongoing campaign.

Those who are still donating through Paypal can still donate, so no worries about that. But if you can switch to Stripe it would be more reliable. Simple log in to https://www.tromsite.com/access and under the Donor Dashboard change the payment option. In case you need help contact us via https://www.tromsite.com/contact/

And a lot of thank-yous to those who support TROM via our campaign. We are still in need of a lot more support so if you can, please consider a donation.

> Aitana, an exuberant 25-year-old pink-haired woman from Barcelona, receives weekly private messages from celebrities asking her out. But this model is not real, she was created by her designers using AI.

The fact that people were asking her out means that they didn't disclose she was an AI generated image, so it's possible people started following her thinking she's a real person.

This is not an isolated case. I do not remember the exact documentary on VN about this, but should be there :). People follow these "AI models" even when they are told they are AI Models. Maybe the people you mention were not aware these were Ai Models.

A lesson about why "free" is not free

Video and Music, two pieces of media almost entirely owned by a few giant companies. And they only allow you to enjoy them if you trade your attention primarily (watch ads), or data, or currency. That in a world where the digitization of media allows us to copy and share them infinitely at almost no cost in terms of resources.

That being said, you can still access these via trade-free interfaces.

For desktop use:

FreeTube https://freetubeapp.io - to access Youtube without ads, data collection or limitations.
Nuclear Player https://nuclear.js.org/ - to listen to any song that's out there. Again no ads, no data collection, no bullshit.

For mobile (android):

NewPipe https://newpipe.net/ - for a trade-free Youtube
InnerTune https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.zionhuang.music/ - listen to any song you want without trading for it.

The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus: @Rokosun managed to re-write from scratch our TROMjaro Theme Switcher and TROMjaro Welcome. He made them in a way that are a lot better in terms of the code but also how they integrate into the desktop.


@Rokosun has fully rebuilt our TROMjaro Welcome app from scratch. Now it is a lot more elegant in terms of the code, and opens up a lot more possibilities for us to integrate more features into it. Something that we will do in the very near future.

TROMjaro is a Trade-Free Operating System. No ads, no data collection, no free trials, no bullshit.

Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting TROM financially every single month!

We provide a lot of trade-free content and services, and we will provide more. Right now we are still far behind what we need to run this project in a sustainable way, but via our 200 for TROM campaign (see http://tromsite.com/donate) we hope that in time, with little steps, we will achieve that.

Thank you to all of you! #tromlive

Our TROMjaro Theme Switcher has been fully re-written by @Rokosun in Nim and the owlkettle library. Our theme switcher is now made in a more sane way.

When you select a theme it will remain highlighted using the accent color of the selected theme. The notifications are also improved and you can see the theme icon in the notification preview.

Roko had to learn all of these from scratch, in order to make it. He is always improving our custom TROMjaro scripts and on top of that he is a proper human being: calm, nice, smart, down to Earth, and so friendly. How awesome that he is helping TROM so much without asking anything in return. That0s becuase he does not "work for TROM", we all work together to build something important and useful!

Amazing job @Rokosun, looks fantastic! 😍 Glad you fell for Nim so much, this powerful, yet simple language definitely deserves some love!

Rokosun reshared this.

@esh
Dude thanks a lot for telling me about this language, I feel like it would've taken me a long long time if I were to write this in something like C, but #Nim offers a very simple and flexible syntax without any major performance drawback, it actually compiles to C code which is amazing.
#nim @Roma

Rokosun reshared this.

Yeah, I wish to see more applications written in #Nim, and so happy that it's a part of #TROMjaro OS now. 😌 I think, it might be a very good platform for promoting the performant and useful utilities like that. I think, I'll rewrite a welcome app in #Nim too someday.

@esh
> I think, I'll rewrite a welcome app in #Nim too someday.

You don't have to, I'm working on it as we speak, haha 😆 @tio asked me if I could also rewrite our Layout Switcher in Nim, so maybe I'll do that too let's see. Overall I'm really glad to have found this owlkettle library, I'm forever grateful to the developers of that library because it is what made it possible for me to write GUI apps, the developer even made some tutorials on YouTube which were extremely helpful.

#nim @Tio @Roma
Oh I see. Great! Thanks @Rokosun 👍

We had to remove the donor wall from https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ because it was incorrectly displaying the donors. At times it was displaying the donors who donated for other campaigns, or displaying those that canceled their monthly support. Sorry about that. If we make it work we will add it back.

We in fact have 41 people subscribed for 200 for TROM campaign and not 38. See https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - our system did not work 100% well and we had to fix some stuff. Still fixing some other things. But 41 people are amazing for supporting TROM. A huge thank you! Maybe, eventually, we will reach the 200 goal. We need 160 more people and then TROM will be forever ok :) and we can keep producing more content, more projects. #tromlive

So the donation counter on the website was not working correctly? Anyway, glad to see there are 41 supporters now 🙂
Yes because some donations were not recorded as completed by our website....there are still some weird things going on but....little by little I hope to fix them.

Thank you Ioana for becoming the 38th TROM Supporter! :) - We need to find 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month for TROM to support us forever - see https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Currently we are working on managing our backups a bit better because it has become quite expensive to backup TB of data. We work on a new release of TROMjaro too, and more such technical stuff.

However soon we will shift gears and do more TROMcasts and hopefully either start creating new books that are already in the making, or transform them into a long-term video series. If we reach the 200 for TROM goal, then it will be all of that, and more, plus no more stress. To be able to continue to fight, while not getting rich off of it.

In the long term, like we said before, we'd like to create a decentralized sharing platform where people can share from gadgets to food and everything in between.

TROM is active, and more so when we get new supporters! :) Thank you!

We are all humans. Atoms that make cells, cells that make us. We are not israelies, palestinians, americans, jews, arabs, europeans....we are HUMANS. And we have more than enough resources to share and live in a paradise on a beautiful and complex planet.

What a shame that the same brains who can understand how the universe works and the complexity that we have discovered so far, can be imprisoned by nonsense ideas and beliefs, and then kill each other because of these.

Shame!
