if anyone can help out with the Yunohost Friendica package github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien… so that we can update our Friendica and get it ready for the next stable update that should come soon....please see that issue. If I had any clue how to help I would. I can test stuff if needed.

Astonishing the level of idiocracy this society is becoming youtu.be/lWAyfr3gxMA - a podcast with millions of listeners, listening to the most retarded ideas and not even laughing at their stupidity. This is scary. Two rich people talking so much gibberish it is hard to even poke fun at it, since "it" is so outlandish.

Only accusing the "big companies" for doing all sort of "unethical" things, is like only accusing mass murderers for the killings that they do. Every crime is a crime. Big or small. Small companies do similar shady practices and abuse people or destroy the environment.

But best is to look at the system that creates these entities instead of accusing companies or people.

As long as the underlying practice on this planet is to TRADE or else you are fucked, then this is what we are going to do and prioritize. Thus the evolution of companies and billionaires, waste, pollution, you name it.

Total Trust: Surveillance State - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

Crazy documentary. It looks like a dystopian SF movie. I have no idea why people still watch movies when reality is many times more than any movie. More scary, funny, complex, interesting, mindblowing.

China is perhaps how the future will look like for people on this planet. Total control.

I got trapped into the microscope world....

Look, this 20-some million years dot trapped in the amber:

It's this fucking insect:

With this fucking digital microscope:

Ain't that insane!?

I spent all day today looking at 1kg of amber with millions of years old insects. I honestly could not stop. This is too fascinating. I want to make a video about it and I will! Whenever I have some time.

And this is my own blood (I can do better but I became a pussy while trying to cut my veins and pour some under the microscope - I'll do better next time!):

Maybe from time to time is good to think about yourself as a terminally ill cancer patient who is going to die in a few years time. Just to make you rethink your priorities. Because in truth we all are terminally ill and in the process of dying. Fucking terrible thought to have, but it is true and we better get it so that we live our lives in a more meaningful way. A hard task to accomplish in this fucked up society...

At times I have these scary realizations that I am going to die one day, and I really don't like it. It usually happens to me when I am super tired, in bed, trying to sleep. Fucking brain!

But it is weird to think that you won't exist at one point....

I wish I could live forever. I would never get bored. There is so much to do.

In the meantime I am still young and healthy it seems, so it is also good not to spend your healthy time thinking about the fact that you are going to die one day. That is a waste of your time begin alive, if you do it too much.

Ok that's all.

I still have this dream/hope that I can achieve the goals of our 200 for TROM campaign tromsite.com/donate/ - like now I am trying to find ways to make money (was trying upwork these days...); in the summer I will probably work in cleaning for a little bit. And for the past 2 weeks I worked on a website for WebApe...

Man I wish I can focus on TROM and TROM only. I have a bunch of things on my to-do list like trying to update Friendica (figure what's the issue with the update), talk to video creators to join our Peertube, start a video series for TROM, add new features for TROMjaro....

I wish that was my "job".... and it is doable. I only need to convince 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month to support the so many projects that we are doing at TROM. Because I can and will do more, but without a financial support that's nearly impossible...

It is frustrating because I know I can do a lot more and I want to do, and I only need the minimum support to do it. But even that seems so hard to achieve...

Anyway, I'll see what I can do, but I feel it is such a shame to not focus on TROM and the so many ideas I have. For that matter it is a crime that so many are in this situation....

Can you believe this spider here is 40 MILLION years old?! That is so COOL!

Look at this 40 million years old Baltic Amber.
What is cool about this amber is that it has a complex structure that makes it denser, harder and more resistant to external factors. It also makes possible good preservation of plant and animal inclusions. Insects, spiders and even their webs, frogs, crustaceans, bacteria and amoebae, marine microfossils, wood, flowers and fruit, hair, feathers and other small organisms have been recovered in amber. Even small mammals. Here you can see some extinct insect inclusions, such as spiders, ants, fleas, mosquitos, etc.

It is funny, in Spain if you want to legally trade your own services, say you make websites, then you have to become "autonomo" - like self-employed, and pay between 60 to 100 euros a month taxes even if you make no money as self-employed. hahaha. That after you will have to pay a lawyer some 60 more euros a month to deal with the shitload of papers and nonsense.

You know these "taxes" in theory seem like a decent idea: take a bit of money from each citizen, to then put that money into healthcare and other things that will be free for these "citizens".

In practice it is shitshow of corruption and making the rich richer. And a huge pain in the ass for everyone. I would not mind contributing 20% of my "income" to a tribe if I get free healthcare and other benefits, but only if it was made simple and you could see the effect of your contribution.

Spain seems like the capital of papers and nonsense. But the entire world is like that one way of another...

Such a wasted time on the most "unique" planet in the universe. Deal with papers, try to survive, be busy with nothing things... No thank you!

So yeah, in a trade based society is not enough to "trade", you have to do it in a particular way. And if you are poor you are entirely fucked to begin with anyway.

Flatpaks are really outrageous in size...I have tried to use flatpaks for the past months but man o man....hundreds of MB for each package, takes forever to update them even on my 1GB internet connection. The idea is great, but this is such a huge downside that I cannot see how it is going to make the flatpaks easier to use than normal packaging.

Look at this for ungoogled chromium:

Had to download around 4-5 GB....insane!

Finally Sasha got her residency approved here in Spain after 4-5 years of us trying, spending money, being stressed. After being rejected once because we did not have enough money as a family - imagine that! That was the actual reason.

But now that I had a "job" they made us wait 7 months from the moment we applied, and 2 complaints later from the lawyer about why they do not approve it, it finally got approved. And the reason was ONLY because I was a "trader" in this bullshit trade society.

How terrible that we treat people like tools. The value is in what and how much you can trade. Does not matter if you are a good human being. Smart? Doesn't matter. Calm and helpful? Nope. Scientifically minded? Nah.

I spent my life doing free things for others, never made a profit, but this has 0 value in this society.

Anyway, fuck you to those who support a world where we are divided into tribes and languages, and treating people like sole traders/marketers and not humans. We have global problems but so many still want to have their own "separate" tribe and care only about that. Fuck your flag, your language, your culture. Fuck nationalism. A primitive disease.

We are all humans with a 4 billion years long history, a mindblowing one. Single cells becoming what we are today. The way we are connected to each other, scientifically, dwarfs any bullshit man-made story about their own tribe. We have lego-brick-like structures we call the DNA that encode all of what we are. And all of what other creatures are, and how we are all connected.

We live on a giant sphere with a thin layer of atmosphere protecting us from the infinite universe out there.

So fuck you if you think your nationalism is so important, and your borders and stupid nonsensical laws.

I had to let this out because it is outrageous how primitive this society is.

Fuck you! :)

Welcome to planet Earth. A random rock in the Universe where the most "intelligent" species only cares about trade. Trade this for that. So that the members of its species spend all of their life trading. That's all it is.

It is not about creating smarter and relaxed humans, and a nice environment for everyone. Not about exploring and learning, or enjoying. It is about trading.

Primitive species.

I don't know why I still care about this society at all.

This organization was "featured" in the TROM II documentary. They are doing a fantastic work - they feed the ones that need to be fed. That's all they do. And now 7 of their volunteers systematically murdered by the tribe of Israel. (source)

Russia destroying big chunks of Ukraine, Israel leveling Gaza, and I bet Trump will become president again. How's China doing? Still enslaving the Uyghurs? Navalny dead?

Fucking terrible world.

Trying to stay away from these sort of news, but it is hard to. They are everywhere.

I'll try to reorganize my brain this month and star to film for the new TROM video series. Will see how that works ;).
