@vicfroh something like the #trade-free-directory proposed on directory.trade-free.org/ tries to enhance human possibilities. Basic needs for everyone should be covered as #trade-free period. @trom explains in detail why #tradeistheproblem and the billionaires of this world are just symptoms of this trade game. So we need to tackle trade.

That is great and frustrating at the same time. This "enshitification" is totally a natural result of trading stuff. There is 0 difference between supermarkets putting a 5.99 price on food, or putting candies where people stay in line to pay, or deceiving people with those old ads on TV, and Facebook, Youtube and the like adding clickable ads in the middle of a video or making it play the next video automatically, or not making it clear what is a post what is an ad....

These are trade-based goods and services, and for them to sell, you have to engage in these "marketing" practices.

THIS IS NOTHING NEW!

Pretty much all companies and individuals do these in order to sell shit. All need to be biased towards their own business. Even the local small businesses are doing it. Everyone does it.

So instead of selecting a few of the most outrageous practices, call them shitty, and point the finger at them, better do 2 things:

  • Understand why these products are "shitty". It is trade, the need to trade, that makes people put more ads, collect more data, etc.. Currency, data, or attention trade.
  • Simply make 2 categories: trade-free and trade-based. If a product or a service is trade-free, it means it does not want anything from you, the user. Not your data, not your currency, not your attention. Therefore why would it want to make that product or service shitty?
  • Makes no sense.

    We made a book all about that - tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo… and guess what? It is trade-free. Read it online or download it.

    Side note....I like Louis but for fucks sake man start prioritizing a Peertube instance and post there rather than on the "shit" youtube....

    RE: fosstodon.org/users/futureisfo…

    Very good video from Veritasium about that big backdoor issue on Linux recently:

    Of course this is an issue with our trade based society 100%. How? Easy:

  • The incentive to do harm in this society is quite high. For profit, for power that also leads to profit, for the fact that tribes and people are divided into groups trying to outgame the other groups. Like Iran has an incentive to hack USA, USA has an incentive to hack China, Russia has an incentive to hack the EU, and so forth. They can get sensitive information, blackmail, etc.. This is a global situation that has trade (as a practice) as the director of motives. Making people do what they do. Tribes hold onto their own resources, exploit other tribes, etc.. And so fighting with each other is natural.
  • If we lived in a society where trading was not a necessity and provided for all equally, we would have no reason to have tribes with borders, exploit other tribes, fight against each other when we are all in fact a big tribe, the human tribe.

  • The people working on a lot of open source software struggle to work on it since they also have "day jobs". They have to TRADE to survive. Imagine people had access to their basic needs trade-free, via an UBI or whatever. More time to focus on creating secure and better software, more people who can do that. Less of those incentivized to do harm and insert backdoors.
  • Overall it is a cancerous trade society where humans are livestock and wolves. Consuming and being consumed.

    The only sane way out of it is to HELP PEOPLE DETACH FROM THE TRADE SOCIETY. So they can be people and focus on RELEVANT STUFF.

    Else it is a game of those who want to exploit and those who try to stop them. Endless....

    We've had to stick around the Girona region lately due to some doctor's appts, but luckily we found this gem of a place. Espai Natural de les Guilleries-Savassona, just south of the Pyrenees. Amazing place for hiking! And here we found a fantastic free motorhome parking area that even provided free electricity, so we're staying warm this winter 😊

    Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

    We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

    Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

    We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/

    Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

    @Ashedryden that's exactly the train of thought of @trom - if we'd be able to create a society where people are taken care of instead of them having to trade something in order to get something, then there would many things in today's world that don't make sense anymore.
    Create a saner environment for people instead of punishing 'bad behaviors' to solve the problem in the first place.
    We should help each other, educate ourselves about the amazing world we're living in and shouldn't fight against each other... tromsite.com/ is such an amazing project in this regards (thanks to @[email protected]) and directory.trade-free.org/ puts it into a clear vision and into reality. No wishful thinking, no bullshit, but trade-free goods and services that exist in today's world, can be shared, used and improved :) #trom #tradefree
