We will redirect/link to a post where we showcase better alternatives to listen to music for free, don't worry. Please save your music collection.

We are furiously working on a new TROMjaro Linux based on XFCE so that our linux distribution will become more stable, much faster, and we are adding new cool features to it. We have a scheduled podcast with Cory Doctorow, we work on the TROM II documentary, we keep videoneat.com and all of the other projects up to date and relevant. We provide a lot of trade-free services at trom.tf, and so forth.

The Money Game and Beyond - Moving Stuff and People Around - Part 4
https://videos.trom.tf/w/x1GdbLwQAHyEEdggAHvbtT
In our world there is a big misunderstanding about efficiency. Since our society is based on trade, things will be done by whatever is cost efficient and not resource efficient or technical efficient. That means apples are grown in New Zealand and shipped to Germany for example. Soy is grown in Brazil then shipped to Germany to feed pigs and that meat is then exported into other tribes. This and so many other trades lead to a world wide frenzy which distorts people's values and destroys the environment.
Let's learn about the story behind some products that we are all familiar with and that many of us have on a daily basis.

We are releasing TROMjaro XFCE Aplha 2 for testing, if anyone is interested.
We did a bunch of improvements for workspaces, global menus + maximized windows, backups, the default apps and how they work, sessions and more. If you think MacOS or Windows are cool, check out TROMjaro XFCE hehe :). And it is trade-free!
See our updates here https://www.tromjaro.com/tromjaro-xfce-alpha/

We are releasing a new and different TROMJaro and we need people to test it. We want to give up Gnome and move to XFCE. Read more about it here https://www.tromjaro.com/tromjaro-xfce-alpha/ where you can also find the test ISO.
Basically it looks similar to the TROMjaro Gnome, but should be much faster, well built, has global menus, HUD, and more awesome stuff. Please give it a try and tell us what you think! #tromlive

Yes it is, in a sense, a customized Manjaro. We push this trade-free idea and ship the OS with packages that are "trade-free", plus install as default such packages. On top of that we have our own library trade-free apps https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ that anyone can install directly from our website. We d a lot of tweaks to make the desktop faster and more usable.
okay, trade-free and free software licensing practices do seem compatible, which was what my first question would have been. I only concluded that though based on applications listed as trade-free, not from the particular phrasing of the definition itself.
Tio likes this.
Yes. Trade-Free would mean you provide your software and ask nothing in return. No money, not user data, you inject no ads into your software (so no attention trading), and so forth. You simply provide and expect nothing in return.
There are some historic examples of such human societies functioning in this way. One of the best documented examples would be the Haudenosaune.
I should be more clear. My initial thought is that some might choose to define the GPL, where one receives software on the promissory expectation of offering it to others under the same freedoms you had received as a kind of trade, in consideration. Hence why I was wondering if the two were compatible.
We understand that, but we can't be so strict about the trade-free idea else we won't find much software out there that's trade-free. Licenses do add a limitation (a trade) to those who want to modify the software, such as you mentioned. Some ask you to give credit to the source project if you fork it, and so forth. I'd like to see these licenses being dropped and simply allow anyone use the software as they wish, although I fully understand it can be abused by corporations especially. But our "movement" is more about the "educational" aspect of it. Plus, we can filter out a lot of crapware, freeware, and the like, via this trade-free label.
indeed, and this is also why I was trying to determine if what I am doing meets the definition of trade-free since I do use the GPL.

I suspect free software, in the purest sense, is perhaps one of the few places genuine trade-free exists, other than where indigenous peoples still do thrive.

Our latest TROM-Cast about Nudity is up https://link.trom.tf/fE2wF
Unfortunately we got a lot of issues. First that of sound. I forgot that I messed around with OBS these past days and I removed the input sound module for my computer from OBS. So I had to fix it live....then the connection to @Cleo of Topless Topics was not that great via Jitsi. I suspect is because the Jitsi instance we have used was hosted closer to us than to her, so her video quality was not that great + she interrupted a bunch of times. We did lots of tromcasts with people from all around the world but the connection was never as bad.
Lastly our live interrupted 2 times....and I have to investigate why. I have no clue at the moment. Maybe Peertube is too buggy when it comes to lives. I will test the live before our next TROMcast. Luckily I have recorded everything locally so all is saved.
Give it a bit of time to convert so you can stream it properTHank you to @Cleo of Topless Topics for participating! Very interesting discussion!

Ok, that makes more sense. Would be nice if you could automate this though, so that it'll automatically shorten links before posting on Facebook/twitter so you don't have to do them here 🤔
We are testing a new version of TROMjaro, one geared for low spec computers, to put some life into them. Instead of Gnome we are using XFCE. We are testing the waters to see if we can maintain 2 version of TROMjaro. We made it look very similar to the main TROMjaro.

We can only see your hosted files’ names, and their metadata (when it was uploaded/edited, or what is the size of your file), plus we can see the structure of your folders. However we are unable to open any file to see its contents: videos, documents, photos, you name it, we are unable to preview any of these files even if we wanted to.

Nothing learned. These online prostitutes are eager to trade trade trade, at infinitum. They are pursued by the same companies, and same tech prostitutes that talk positively about tech, to buy more of that tech. A way of eating your own poop.
So then they have to pay for their macbookpros and teslas and such, so then they have to make videos that reach more and more people, because that makes them more and more money, to then buy more and more stuff. Endless...
Very little of the new tech nowadays is useful and a real innovation. The rest is LED lights of different colors. Toys.

Vaccines are generally safe and save lives. They work. The ones against COVID-19 do a great job at preventing severe illness and death. The vast majority of deaths, almost all, are amongst unvaccinated people. There are good reasons to doubt governments and especially companies, but these doubts need-to-be valid and tamed, at least to not let them so lose that you end up not doubting facebook/youtube "gurus" and "concerned moms" who tell you what's the deal with COVID.
When you get sick you go to the hospital and trust doctors. Maybe it is time to apply the same mindset and let them protect your from your ignorance when it comes to vaccination. I am sure they know better.

This is what we are going to do to deal with our Peertube instance:
#tromlive
Attention: this instance is solely dedicated to science/technology/nature videos in the English language, and it was so from the beginning. Even the activism/education needs to fall into these categories. Anything else will be removed with a 1 month noticed. Starting next month we will begin the monthly purge of accounts that did not respect our instance's categories. These rules will not be very strict, but users that mostly post pseudoscience, politics, porn, movies, and such, are going to be removed.

Pretty much all of our https://trom.tf/ services are now mobile friendly. Basically they would not load our custom theming if it detects a mobile screen, since our custom theming is not adapted for mobile phones. Enjoy! #tromlive
