  1. Goodbye formal address, hello "du", everywhere. The German versions of nine.ch, docs.nine.ch and now our Cockpit are all switched to the informal, direct form of address.

    Not a trend, just our take on honest communication at eye level, the way good tech collaboration should feel.

    Happy Weekend!

  6. Even after a decade of #ElectronicWaste rules, upgraded 3 times, India's #Ewaste still largely mismanaged, few states only have proper recycling facilities, inventories, while majority of states depend on #informal sectors & transporting to other states without any record.
    17 states and UTs lack adequate e-#recycling facilities. With the exception of Jammu & Kashmir, there are no #recycling units in any of the UTs. Most recycling units are concentrated in 16 states, including #UP, Gujarat etc.

  7. I'm excited to share my first book offering which I wrote in 2021. The first volume of the Almanac of Wonder and Wander chronicles in both informal haiku and haibuno form (picture, haiku, prose) my transition from Portland, OR to Taos County, NM. The book is ~116 pages long.

  10. Recently, I sent an e-mail to my mother that I may or may not have written about here. In any case, I am hoping that some of you can help me with this, since it's slightly visual. For those who don't know me well, I am a woman but am strictly interested in men's attire and am seekingan Edwardian suit. I also have no time for modern materials in reproductions. Eventually, I wish to own formal and semi-formal clothing. But now, I am seeking informal daywear for regular use when going out. Please tell me if this modern suit is, in fact, a lounge/sack suit and if it is actually Edwardian in style. I am providing the letter in its entirety both for those who are curious and for comparison.

    "  I remember some time ago, we were talking about suits, and I was trying to describe what I wanted.  I mentioned that it was a lounge or sack suit, but that I couldn't find examples. Now, I have.  This is a lounge suit.  It's the sort of thing that would be worn daily to almost every informal occasion, from business meetings, to shopping, to luncheon with friends, to a walk around the park, to seeing a doctor or getting a haircut.  It was already sold.  I am just showing it to you so that you know what I am talking about.

    bidsquare.com/online-auctions/

    This is a modern reproduction but sounds like it has no synthetic materials.  It can be worn with buttoned boots as shown, but also with Oxfords or other lace-up shoes.  And yes, some cuffs can be turned up on suits from that era, so I was wrong about that.  This is grey, but they also make blue, pin striped, and brown.  I am not sure if this is a lounge suit, as it doesn't say, but I am guessing it is.  These are always available.

    ebay.com/itm/284346733105

    This, in contrast, is truly formal daywear, suitable for a wedding or some other serious occasion.  I certainly don't need it now. The night equivalent would be black tie for semi-formal and white tie for formal occasions.

    ebay.com/itm/397023472497

      Since I mentioned it the last time we spoke about this, I did a bit of research.  There is such a thing as walking suits.  They are quite informal (more so than lounge suits) and are normally used in the country or when out for city strolls, but not for everyday occasions.  Regardless, I can't find one."

    I have nothing to hide, Babe. We can have a real something. The BACKGROUND Check is about me & who wants to really know & get into each other's heads! Seriously.
    Background checks are fair game.

    Fair game for relationships? Fair game for real names. And fair game for employment. And fair game. To find family. Infer the game to find out who and who can't pass a background check.
    Everybody is always involved in a background Check.

  14. Here are two older posts of mine that may be of interest to the dandies, dandy lovers, historians, and those curious about antique fashions.

    In this first post, I will provide links related to men's fashion during the Regency and Edwardian periods. My apologies to those who prefer Victorian styles, but I don't know much about them. I am, however, willing to learn. My interest in Regency clothing and culture is connected to my love of dandyism, and my interest in Edwardian clothing is because that is how I wish to dress personally.

    dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/210

    Here, you will find links pertaining to dandies and dandyism as a whole. It is the culmination of at least five years of research, though I am constantly finding new things to add to my collection and am always open to suggestions. Topics include General Links on Dandyism, Books, Beau Brummell, and Regency Dandies.

  18. “Reject the National Army Law”, “No Rules, Just Chaos”, and “Burn World Bank” Action by Informal Anarchists

    We are responsible for the burning of Two Hana Bank ATM machines, the Hana Bank office building, a capitalist-owned advertising videotron, and a motor vehicle belonging to the Indonesian National Army. The arson occurred after a space occupation carried out by demonstrators in the aftermath of a demonstration against the passage of the Indonesian National Army Law (TNI law), the arson occurred in Bandung, West Java on Friday night 21/03/2025.

    The action carried out by the demonstrators in front of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) was not ignored at all by anti-riot police, despite the throwing of molotov cocktails, propane, stones and firecrackers into the veranda of the building. Until in the end, we chose direct action by burning at several points above.

    We are completely beyond the authority of the language of the state and capitalism, we are irrationality, we are a form of the illogicality of the authority of the language itself. We are one of the informal organizations of the end of the world who do not believe in the coming of enlightenment for tomorrow, because for us the future is a new form of suffering. We are a fire that devours entire city buildings at night. We do not believe in the revolution of the left and other social anarchists. We are writers and poets, insurrection is poetry, poetry is insurrection.

    Death to The State!
    Death to The National Army!
    Death to an Entire Civilization!
    Burn The World Bank!
    Long Live The Conspiracy of Cells of Fire!
    Long Live The Free Association of Autonomous Fire!
    Long Live FAI/IRF
    Long Live Anarchy!

  22. CW: Users are the biggest weakness of a network / Improving user trust is the #1 solution to large systems of people who fail to share their futures AND are not building trust at all... to really do more than Modern Capitalism

    Lately I've had a few good posts about why #systems are failing and missing out the humans themselves. A few post titles are below and short points first.

    TLDR:
    ➡️ User-to-User interaction and progress needed on any network else people stay weak
    ➡️ personal contact / match-making of some kind needed by individuals and dedicated ppl
    ➡️ encouraging closer relativity / mutuality and from that projects naturally...
    ➡️ mutual growing people is essential for wider society, skills and mindset
    ➡️ not just growing machines!
    (that is the way to Matrix!)

    Titles and links below:

    1 ➡️ #Social systems / #p2p fails when the #users themselves are not regularly doing the #trust work #peertopeer and constructively themselves not building that - just consuming media or just on the #Trump hashtag while leaders steal our #future.

    Having "system" is not enough We need people or events to get together others together much like online seminars, circles or conferences help 'push' people together or at least see mutuality more clearly.

    📋 Post: qoto.org/@freeschool/113823713

    2 ➡️ Real work is done ON the users and admin themselves (people change).

    It's also NOT about expanding #google on everything or using #BigTech to expand without much mindset change - we need more non-#AWS stuff knowing later that US space is a big #problem / #compromised.

    The people-to-people work is doing better stuff than just 'machines' as the main work, coding re-coding the same shit while people stay behind.

    Communication daily rather than #massstorage #McDonalds... :amazon: :aws: :google:

    📋 Post: qoto.org/@freeschool/113823094

    3 ➡️ Up to us not waiting for leaders or others forever...
    Who's ready to build and build with trust? We need to work with those that can actually start and increase, and respond to reason better. Not waiting for history to repeat itself.

    📋 Post: qoto.org/@freeschool/113822893

    These post are so deliciously close to the Holy Grail of togetherness or solving things... saying what needs doing and growing people is the way forward.
    Others growing others mean:
    #informal apprenticeship /
    #better #examples of each other etc.

    But also practically giving ourselves more hints what to do each day or with each other (2 main branches) rather than default "job" and statesmen and middle-people in between who ultimately ruin / misuse it all.

    My experience is that even fans or mutual appreciators don't seem to be able to get past a certain level and currently paranoia or "I'm busy" excuses happens (until people see how they can use others) but overall it's about how we all work for each other by building each other up and eventually doing more, especially as all the while communication improves (#1 solution to many things I think).

    It's about motivation and enjoyment to from that and then suddenly people are not as busy because they make it part of their life. :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

    As usual I write more which I believe Freemo helps shorten for people.

    I see the potential from other admins (who generally are more clever / multi-talented / able to multi-task) and users (who can
    rrbe better or are clever in-the-waiting) to not miss the obvious point of social improvement but being / living in more of a two-way action and more 'manually' and deliberately doing it each day - it's not any system

    Beyond messaging, Automatic things systems cannot do what human need after ability to contact and see each other's profile and work.

    So even if it's looking a 1 profile a week more closely and trying to work with them / help or having a broader spectrum of open-access with other... Then slowly but surely real work (people change) happens.

    From #KeyboardWarriors to #Techies to #Carers all people are already doing something we might want to be part of or integrate / bridge together - and as a mix of people we're superior to just floating individual having mostly non-dedicated parts of life and one-way / one-message interaction as a way to get away from outside life that I think all this post helps get better inside and out.

    "Improving user-to-user interaction" is the main work.

    We can do as a main part of 'working' socially which traditionally isn't what today's #Capitalist "jobs" do..

    (because "jobs" are more narrow fields / definitions / contracts of work towards profit mainly and at the cost of everything else almost along the way - including emptying the human they use like a battery at the end).

    Deliberately-socially messaging has benefits which I think people themselves/admins are not doing because others are not doing it (and once people do it I believe they will or can be tested!). I believe people love to see progress in themselves and others and doing it gives others the power / potential to help fix things instead of stay victim (which is what you see a lot of posts about, powerless).

    Everything in their life can be fixed but has to come from this slowly but surely approach while improving friendship or respect (even from afar, lower level to high and vice-versa).

    The people work is social change and like human resources we have it largely unused online as I see it. So while it's not for everyone here
    THERE IS PLENTY OF PEOPLE

    and from those 'peer-to-peer- type post titles mentioned at the start I'd like to ask #Freemo about this more as I see him as a potential Captain of the football team because basically he's solid enough already which we all need as leader or moderator and so often on the mark.

    He has a sense of morality when even if you wouldn't agree you'd thank him for being far clearer, less emotionally capsizing, and more transparent than the other 'leaders' we see currently everywhere.

    So #Freemo does seem to do this work often anyway even if it's a small way and I feel people leave better from conversation and do come back again too (supply and demand!...) so why not this as a part-time thing or helping me to do it with his advice?

    Points welcome even if it seems too dreamy... it seems totally doable even if slow-burn...

    Cheers #Freemo and here's to you in general! :wine:

    And I know you have #CleverThis - this is not ignoring that, but a I think you also need a non-company version as "Ask Freemo" / "Free School" (#AskFreemo / #FreeSchool) as not everyone likes to play that #state games of first jumping into a company but can contribute or get there eventually from other safer or less embedded ways...

    Better than us spending too much time on hashtags watching #musk #trump etc getting sucked into their attention and spreading their shit words instead of good ones...

    Ok that's it - just sending for now, with your help will re-edit / shorten if you can guide a bit / re-say it / cut it down (even if not totally doing it now - just helps me find more meaning and people who obvious see other people as the main 'problem' to solve / improve #mutually from fault of bad people but also the good not working on making something for good in *this* people-to-people way...

  23. Kids freaking out, dude, I survived the death of myspace, msn, icq, etc...

    Seriously, I remember some friends which I use to talk daily disappeared of my life because I only knew their nicknames.

  26. CW: Improving users as my #1 solution to systems of people failing (increasing user-to-user interaction on networks / match-making /encouraging closer social relativity... growing people essentially)

    Lately I've had a few good posts hinting to why #systems are failing / missing out humans or what human systems need and are not getting. Basically to encourage each other and even hand-hold more (would have made me test Linux a lot more earlier for example or correct myself in my wrong thoughts previously) so more respect and interaction happens for those that are able and for others to be encouraged and do something more than Trump hating for example.... a few titles are below I thought were closer to what is 100% in short:

    1 ➡️ #p2p fails when #users are not doing #peertopeer themselves (having system is not enough)

    qoto.org/@freeschool/113823713

    2 ➡️ Real work is the users and admin / and non-#google non-#AWS stuff... maximising the people-to-people work so #p2p = communication daily rather than mass-storage #McDonalds...

  31. Since this post is about fashion, let me start by answering the question that I am sure will be on your mind upon seeing my name. No, I am not related to The Beau. However, I love dandyism as a whole, and I took this name in tribute. I am also working to have his book, Male and Female Costume, published online freely, but that's for another post and time. At any rate, I am forty-one and am passionate about antique menswear, Regency as a scholarly pursuit, and Edwardian for daily wear. Naturally, I am constantly researching and trying to expand upon my knowledge. I am totally blind, so I must rely on descriptions rather than images.

    I am the type who would like to wear a three-piece suit and accessories everywhere I go. I've decided that for my first one, I should get a lounge suit, since I can wear it almost anywhere during the day, provided it's not a formal occasion. I will eventually have morning wear, white tie, black tie, and informal evening wear, but that's for later. I have found some sites which create reproductions of men's Edwardian suits, but most use synthetic materials and/or zippers, which I refuse to wear, and none uses fabrics of the proper thickness. I found sites that make women's suits with men's specifications (no ridiculous enhancements of breasts, butt, shallow pockets, soft colours, buttons on the wrong sides of shirts, etc.) but they only make modern clothing. Ebay and Etsy occasionally have some authentic pieces, but most are too formal for daily use, even by Edwardian standards! I am also having difficulty with finding some accessories, such as proper ties and socks without elastic. My other option is to have a suit commissioned, but for that, I need to find a good tailor. The best in the world, in my opinion, is Zack Pinsent, but he's in England and I'm in America (New Jersey).

    I am seeking those who share my interest in antique menswear, and perhaps some advice as to where I can find such clothing and/or accessories.

    For those who are interested in my journey so far, here is my dreamwidth post containing all sorts of links related to Regency and Edwardian menswear.

  32. Well that's just an awful oversimplification. What #wages are even being "stolen" in wageless businesses like #sarisari stores (often if not always run by families right in their homes) in the #Philippines? Or 100% driver-operator owned, independent #jeepneys? Or all of #informal work, really. ​:seija_coffee:​

  33. Reading old #Marxist critiques of #technology as a tool in the hands of capitalists to separate the workers from control over the production process. And I’m wondering if this process has been reversed today, esp in #informal economies. How can we develop critical tools necessary to analyse this as a new subsumption of #labour under #capital instead of celebrating „creativity“, „everyday invention“ or „produser“ type situations. Veronica Gago has tried, can anyone recommend any other authors?
