Words like #DigitalAutonomy usually RELY ON OTHERS to do it *for themselves* and aside from a few changes I don't know you can help others to manage their own #life or #undo #addictions or do the #betterpractices stuff other than give them time to catch on to it and a few #tips or #handholding posts / principles etc.

    How could you speed up just general tips or convert them on to somethign else?

    @elsua54 Ok that post "How I plan to use #SovereignByDesign ..."

    1/ Doesn't seem to say "the what" it is more than good #ideals or #betterpractices etc - so still not clear as actions (not saying it's bad but is it more than a hashtag of principles etc?)

    2/ Which open protocols / with who / how ? Even if I deleted my life I'd know what it is or just say "I don't know" but I have these thoughts around it etc which is fine either way.

  15. CW: Without people upgraded in their practices. all technology is rendered useless (or even worse!).... + Invidious filters YouTube's adverts :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

    And even worse goes backwards a lot / feeds the negative spectrum because they only do the same with the free stuff - like add adverted links in Mastodon 🔗 posts - yeah millions of youtube ( :google: ) links per day like an ad-farm!

    Everyone needs someone retraining them for #betterpractices weekly and more personally!

    #Mastodon users could use links like this for example that filter adverts:

    invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=P7NHA

    Like #Nitter filters #Twitter -

    and main page shows many filters from different countries

    So... Without people upgraded (in their mind or practices) all technology is rendered useless and sometimes worse!.... 👫 🔁 👫

  17. CW: Users are the weakest link mostly... Need to make it more interactive and direct so as we talk (not just work) about everything it upgrades their brain...

    @collectedoverspread If I can re-word what you said, to make it as another perspective which is my view of the real problem (still sharing your core sentiment):

    "The fact that USERS BUY INTO as a commercial service annoys me greatly. Should something as basic as a single-page site with a bunch of links really be outsourced to an outside service?"

    Basically this applies to everything (even Fediverse now as it's normalising as a Twitter also)
    1/ it's the users that are the weakest link
    + Answer1: need to educate +
    + Answer2: we the admins need to restructure and MAKE IT more our business (in the many meanings of that)
    2/ if we don't make interacting with people the main activity (levelling them up or even giving them free alternative links) we've lost or only delayed these fish that just flop into things (some willingly but some that don't care could be pushed into 'flopping' at least here rather than there.

    Users are the weakest link mostly... Need to make it more interactive and direct so as we talk (not just work) about everything it upgrades their brain (the firmware!)...

    It's not just about Free Fediverse or web space either - it's political on many levels - and sometimes the supplies do 0 of that because they don't want to talk to people or more fiddle endlessly with computers once #Mastodon etc is all setup.

    ✊ May the people work (talking) commence and the commerce be curtailed together.

    What do you think on that?

  20. CW: Just Realised... I might never catch up on all my notes... (working forever now only "to do it later"?)...

    Though I've made good progress it's like the realisation today that "no one day I'll not get back to all this stuff" and "at this rate I'm creating more than I can catchup on..." 🚨

    So "working forward" or not overloading the the future work instead of "one day I'll make time to catchup on ALL THIS ACCUMULATION" (!) seems better way.... any thoughts?

    Though I've made good progress, and never forgotten much, it's like "working forward" instead of "one day I'll get back to all this stuff" which is kind of evident already if you and I are not doing the clean up now from the past stuff we set ourselves.

    Data and stuff will just be left unprocessed! (which is only shame if we are forever working now only "to do it later" and don't do it later)

  21. CW: When communication stops, and hypocrites continue then War starts to build up and escalate... (internal / external feelings).

    This is also a reason why online fans (true people) turn sour.

    It's not just that the fan is crazy or idols are either....

    When communication stops 'coincidently' when questioned about their usage of what they are opposite against... then trouble can start to build, as people build on problematic platforms and methods. Again opposite to what THEY talk opposite against.

    Even down-to-earth people who have experience in schools and tech (MIGHT MENTION ACCOUNT HERE BUT FEEL IT WILL PUBLICISE THEM INSTEAD) who spending their whole account complaining, claiming to represent or search for better ways and want to practice other principle(s)... BUT SIMPLY DON'T !

    THEY ALSO GIVE IN AND USE BAD THINGS! 🤦

    Some fans forget these people or the wrong, but I think true fans to better ways (while not expecting perfection) can legitimately hold people accountable and yes try to do things themselves if not with hypocrites (people that talk only to use you).

    If you complain about #AI or BIGTECH #Apple #Spotify BUT THEN USE THEM FOR YOUR PODCAST - YOUR CRITICISM AND FLACK IS MEASURABLY JUSTIFIED - MEASURABLY.

    We need others to check our own principles and claims... Often it's not terribly hard and if you fall into the 'I don't have time' excuse (which is a mixture of other things which is why we need others to help us get into better multiplayer loops) then take the flack willingly... because we can see remotely you obviously have a lot of time, and do a lot of the same mono-stuff

    (if we are to solve anything / do better practices, otherwise carry on you hypocrite).

    Not just using people and throwing them after measurable critique and mutual principles are presented well enough (not hate).

    Yet what's happening to the web is far more sinister than simple greed, but the destruction of the user-generated internet,

    ...

    And it's slowly killing the internet.

    ⭐ Degenerative AI [great sub-title]

    Generative AI models are trained by using massive amounts of text scraped from the internet, meaning that the consumer adoption of generative AI has brought a degree of radioactivity to its own dataset. As more internet content is created, either partially or entirely through generative AI, the models themselves will find themselves increasingly inbred, training themselves on content written by their own models which are, on some level, permanently locked in 2023, before the advent of a tool that is specifically intended to replace content created by human beings.

    ... Jathan Sadowski calls "Habsburg AI,"...so heavily trained on the outputs of other generative AIs that it becomes an inbred mutant, likely with exaggerated, grotesque features.

    ...as its models are trained on increasingly-identical content.

    ...generative features... immediately fed back into Azure's OpenAI models owned by its parent company Microsoft, which invested $10 billion in OpenAI in early 2023

    Generative AI also naturally aligns with the toxic incentives created by the largest platforms.

    Google makes up more than 85% of all search traffic and pays Apple billions a year to make Google search the default on Apple devices.

    ... a cottage industry of automation gurus are cashing in by helping others flood Facebook, TikTok and Instagram with low-effort videos that are irresistible to algorithms.

    Generative AI is a perfect tool for soullessly churning out content to match a particular set of instructions — such as those that an algorithm follows — and while an algorithm can theoretically be tuned to evaluate content as "human," so can scaled content be tweaked to make it seem more human.

    Google might pretend it cares about the quality of search results, but nothing about search's decade-long decline has suggested it’s actually going to do anything. Google's spam policies have claimed for years that scraped content (outright ripping the contents of another website) was grounds for removal from Google, but even the most cursory glance at any news search shows how often sites thinly rewrite or outright steal others' content.

    As we speak, the battle that platforms are fighting is against generative spam, a cartoonish and obvious threat of outright nonsense, meaningless chum that can and should (and likely will) be stopped. In the process, they're failing to see that this isn't a war against spam, but a war against crap, and the overall normalization and intellectual numbing that comes when content is created to please algorithms and provide a minimum viable product for consumers.

    We're watching the joint hyper-scaling and hyper-normalization of the internet, where all popular content begins to look the same to appeal to algorithms run by companies obsessed with growth.

    ... Quora, which now promotes ChatGPT-generated answers at the top of results),

    I believe that their goal is to intrude on our ability to browse the internet, to further obfuscate the source of information while paying the platforms for content that their users make for free. Their eventual goal, in my mind, is to remove as much interaction with the larger internet as possible, summarizing and regurgitating as much as they can so that they can control and monetize the results as much as possible.

    There's also no way to escape the fact that these hungry robots require legal plagiarism, and any number of copyright assaults could massively slow their progress.

    It's incredibly difficult to make a model forget information, meaning that there may, at some point, be steps back in the development of models if datasets have to be reverted to previous versions with copyrighted materials removed.
    It's incredibly difficult to make a model forget information, meaning that there may, at some point, be steps back in the development of models if datasets have to be reverted to previous versions with copyrighted materials removed.

    Question everything they say. Don't accept that AI "might one day" be great.

    Reject their marketing speak and empty fantasizing and interrogate the tools put in front of you, and be a thorn in their side when they try to tell you that mediocrity is the future.

    You are not "missing anything.” These tools are not magic — they're fantastical versions of autocomplete that can't help but make the same mistakes it's learned from the petabytes of information it's stolen from others.

    Mastodon users?... Just u$ers?

  23. CW: Mastodon vs. Google: YouTube links are killing / eating alive Mastodon and it's purpose...

    Google / YouTube links (without filter) on platforms like :mastodon: Mastodon kill it.

    Kill is a strong word but if you see war outside and authoritarian states / government, then yes slowly or directly it's a death mindset to kill people off which I consider if it's long-term suffering and deliberate neglect, oppression by leaders.

    Don't forget all Governments and it's companies registered to it use OUR EARNED money and OUR CLICKS for the pot of war eventually,so advertising is part of that.

    Billion of users and links from us to them. 💰 = 💀

    ANSWERS EXIST!
    You can use INVIDIOUS LINKS INSTEAD @Invidious to filter exactly the same pages as a massive prevention of adverts!!!
    TRY IT NOW!
    redirect.invidious.io/

    Platforms need to actively filter links AND at push to educate its users and train them not to leak data and usage from platform...

    (Invidious filters YouTube for example and many Browser extensions could be listed).

    One main reason why Mastodon exists is not to leak things.

    Developers and users using google and it's links are leaking and letting Google in to their platform... even simply using YouTube links etc to track them.

    (again you can use Invidious filter redirect.invidious.io/)

    Extracting from our bodies towards bigger profits and pocketing it all is war - don't overlook this while people are starving or can't pay heating bills because they have monopoly.

    You could also say it's not killing BUT SIPHONING OUR DATA / EATING US ALIVE, 'maximising profits'.

    Google / YouTube links (without filter) on Platforms are killing it.

    (I might need to phrase this better but take advice... and say it with love and not just blind emotions).

    Leaking data / info from users OR developer accounts themselves on :google: = ☠️ of platform and it's people :skull_cross: )

    I mention in Gargron here but respect if he doesn't want / can let me know. ℹ️ I just don't use github or much else and what better than Mastodon for #Mastodon #suggestion... to tuning the logic, philosophy, life using it's users to change culture!

  24. CW: About using Google and very common reactions how bad it is...

    @mho I really like this post I'm replying to for it's politeness in asking people to refrain from telling Martin how wrong it is to use #google.

    I am one of those people usually! And usually I'm asking from genuine position of fear or seeking #betterpractices, etc... and so I thought I'd write a compliment and some else for a change... on a practical note for anyone hating /seeking anything it's also good I see that "someone has said it already" and that way 'feel at ease' or that it's "done before"...

    So I learned this kind of disclaimer or sign "google has been considered and critiqued before"... can help stop flow and be for developers etc the first signal to leave something like this post so it stops the flow but not the message (or even blocking people / filtering words etc).

    Would be interesting to count how many contacted you... and actually ❓ COULD THOSE PEOPLE CONTACT ME PLEASE!!??
    Because I think I can learn more in many ways (even from heaters hating something)...

    Any other comments / experiences about that welcome.
    Thanks

  26. CW: Sounds like me but a step further asking people to use use Invidious links instead of direct youtube.com links and giving examples...

    @BeAware Sounds like me but a step further asking people to use use Invidious links instead of direct youtube.com links...

    E.G. Sending "use invidious links!" to everyone and even worse asking Eugene to align Mastodon a bit or a least encourage others at least not to feed Google our users and offer a auto-redirect or regular tip about it!!

    So same video ID but use the redirect page!

    redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

    or specific server for same video:

    invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=R3ptZ

    🤷 Often too much to ask some to do this simple #BetterPractices

    - Maybe half try it or do it regularly in their next posts...

    - Some are offended though claim to be xyz / against.. the bourgeois let's say sometimes... who don't really want to improve.

    The URL cleaning is one thing, but using the site directly I see as similar crime.

    ℹ️ By the way, have you seen ClearURLs?

    ClearURLs (Removes tracking elements from URLs)

    addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

    Though best use invidious so we all don't have to rely on others to have redirects and even shout @invidious more often and visually.

    Often "experts" use shortcuts forgetting others don't have it all so tweaked - and better to show Invidious links than have youtube / tracking / advertising links....

    @LateNightLinux @feoh @invidious
    Ok guys! I pointed out #betterpractices and well your reaction or not is probably accordingly to that reality and somewhat rejection of it (not being so open to someone else).

    Make no mistake you are also part of it / I.T. even if linking for others. I was merely suggesting...

    Didn't feel like I was shaming...
    Interesting you felt that way.

    Please... Don't feel too much shame - unless you are also part of doing things that way.

    If you're not so much for FOSS (or can't consider it modestly)
    you can also FOFF
    (Feel Or Forget / Forgive!) :)

    Take it more modestly - (shame is also ok - but only if you feel it).

    Trying to inflame stuff or call it bullshit is a distraction.

    I do get your "no thanks" and missing the point of the opportunity for you to take it more logically and choose better practices. Unless you think it isn't.
    Either way...

    YOU have a choice. Nothing much more than that.

    If you think #FOSS is bullshit then that's also ok - create your way as your own standards and what you support in the world
    (or don't).

    Cheerio - and I don't mean this too seriously. My first contact with you, so I'll have to believe a bit more about how you do things or are nice as Feoh says (or maybe that gives you right, but anyway).

  30. CW: "Don't shame me"... reaction (FOFF with your FOSS!)...

    @LateNightLinux @feoh @invidious
    Ok guys! I pointed out #betterpractices and well your reaction or not is probably accordingly to that reality and somewhat rejection of it (not being so open to someone else).

    Make no mistake you are also part of it / I.T. even if linking for others. I was merely suggesting...

  31. CW: #liquid life (add water with food often - not just eating solids mostly... more water-based = healthy / sustainable...

    Add Water to all food - #BetterPractices

    Like soups / juicing / blending / liquefying but more water + heating / boiling items submerged under the water as solid / partially chopped to drink)

    Make soups from everything or flavoured water from many things you have to make your food last longer.

    Search for "OTHER IDEAS" on this post (CTRL-F) to see the quick list of ideas I've done / you can try regularly without dying and maybe the opposite!

    You can eat solids but after sinking them in water first or boiling it all in a big pot and topping it up with water after each drink. The extra steps (however you like) are the key to making things last and cheating the solid food cost and weight on body suddenly. Often body just needs a top up on fuel or hot liquid (like if you're cold).

    Drink the water first like tea until there is no taste you like AND THEN ADD MORE.. then at the end EAT the solids. Heating helps bring it out but some foods like oats don't even need - the room temperature and mixing is good (drinking liquid first and adding more water, then after eating oats).

    █Water = #SavingPlanet #Saving Less #Buying - more abundant style of #Economy usnig #Water
    (less land and money strain overall).

    █Healthier in terms of digestion as body needs to break down less.
    █Body is water ( 70%+/- !) and natural replacement and regeneration for it

    Still ok to have lots of solids, just tease yourself more and more to find the right combination of crazy stuff knowing you can have it at the end
    █ almost thinking of it as dieting or
    █ cheating capitalism by having more water-fied food / liquids.

    Like a hot soup is to vegetables but for everything. I don't mean just blasting it in a blender as you can eat it too much that way... has to be separate or easy to drink without it all going.

    Must be a name for this type of submerging / milking / or soaking... :)

    Things can be put into any pot of water and ideally heated almost to boil (I have wood stove so a big pot is on all the time, but even soaking a carrot or drinking boiled carrot juice works in something small works (even carrot in a kettle)

    █ left in water is also to avoid you touching / eating it too quickly so it's also a self-check mechanism (with the water added in between to last longer or keep you moving around / not just eating from nervousness)

    █ Like tea is. Make Liquid by mixing water in everything - all foods can be done the same (or almost all)

    OTHER IDEAS:
    █ olives

    █ tomatoes chopped / blended to make base of juice

    █ beetroot (juices from jars are usually sweet so this can be diluted and so can the beetroot after - not emptying juice or drinking it all at once! Dilute!)

    █ anything in a vinegar

    █ the tea leaves from boxes nobody ever touches + bit of sugar left over - even old tea bags died or not!

    █ empty honey jar / honey combes or old jars filled with boiling water until honey or whatever in there is all gone.

    █ even with sauces (dilute)
    from over-spiced things to make less spicy (like from takeway food - often happens) but not just bland watery either (balance / push limits!)

    █ meat and chicken also ok (not my first recommendation but if you drink more meaty juices than a bag of vegetables that it better in a few ways - especially if it would go to bio trash anyway)

    █ Nettles - honestly the best and most available weed like drink best hot (like leaves of ganja, hemp, cannabis but more subtle - still a boost from it's green, and seed ok too... underestimated / dare you try boil water and let it sit or add in foods like spinach (is very close I've done half a bush in big pot and last ages and works like spinach with everything else throw in

    █ fruit whole in a pot cooked (even orange peels or citrus peels can be put into water for hot or cool drink later rather than throw away - yes even with possible pesticides)

    █ chopped cabbage (red especially or any dark food), same with diluting the supermarket juices that come with it or just half bake / boil a big piece of cabbage or all of it if you have a witches style pot / cauldron!

    █ herbs - try them all heated and unheated - cheap bags of herb can last a while (but do try nettles literally put in whole or by holding the bottom of stem and with other hand running fingers- the leaves fall into pot but stem is ok too)

    █ Kombucha style stuff (mushroom, tea fungus, yeast)
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha

    █ cucumbers + dill (often already in jars or with all that other mini salad stuff in jar dilute / make tea from it)

    █ candy sweets plopped in water 🍬 !

    █ flowers - more petals the better in many cases and you'll know by smell and tasting raw (blue soft petals usually perfect flavourFULL)

    (last few seem more extreme but try them all or whenever you come across them and can save it for 'a test')

    Heating constantly (especially in winter) means drinking warm liquid solves the craving to get warm because you are tempted to eat solids when cold trying to get warm so instead of overloading solids trying to get the body to convert to heat inside (or from nervous loading of food), just drink and keep busy with your day knowing you can top up (thermos useful).

    A warm or hot drink in helps you last longer.

    Happy to help you setup with whatever you have around - ask with any crazy combinations as I've lived in the 'bushes' and do make things last so you can pick your level or desperation as I would like to see if I can fit that into your life too and test my experience. 🌿 🍉 🥕 :peppermintos: 🍅 :flower: 🍬

  32. #BetterPractices short version
    How to spread alternative links and educate people better...
    (like Invidious / Nitter links etc...)

    1- pump out alternative links (like invidious / anti-advertising links personally (for youtube or nitter.net/DrStranglelove/ etc)

    2 - people try it more often
    (make *all your links* are invidious)

    3- others catch on / find it less strange / respect it...

    4- they become a source of links themselves in their own profiles or life (copying and pasting more often / joining the anti stuff more politically

    5- others try their links from their new habit in the same way and repeat this process to continue the wave of education to others ...
    :blobwave:

  33. #BetterPractices How can alternative links can be made popular?... boost this if you agree on the example below!

    Example #YouTube #Link (below) is filtered by #Invidious software to take out the adverts and junk code...

    redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

    so even if links like these are strange to you or others - it is only *at first*... and this is how it works to make the alternative popular and even standard / defacto!

    1- you pump out the alternative links personally (not being a hypocrite)

    2 - people try it more often from lack of choice
    (make *all your links* are invidious)

    3- as others catch on from trying it more they find it less strange as they use it and as other they respect use it...

    4- then they become a source of links themselves in their own profiles or life (copying and pasting more politically / wanting to be more aligned / showing they care not to pump google / youtube and instead help filter the crap if they have to use BigTech and it's monster money making)

    5- and then others try it in the same way and repeat this process to actually continue the wave of education to others also... :)

    :) :YoshiHappy: (:
    You are more than just a user right?

    People will be more curious and then try it, and after trying it even copy links or political show they agree by copying links.
