Videos

We are continuously making new videos. Some are based on our books and they can be as long, or longer than full-length documentaries, some are original (poems) and short, and others are based on interesting minds like Jacque Fresco, Carl Sagan, George Carlin, Richard Feynman and the like, which we highlight through video editing, hopefully making some impactful videos out of all that. We are also trying to make a weekly video podcast discussing interesting topics, presenting the most interesting news (from our curated tool) of the week, and allowing anyone to participate and have a voice, and of course challenge our project if they want to :).

TIPS: Any video can be linked to or embed. Click play for any video, then once it starts hover with the mouse over the video and you will see 2 buttons: LINK and EMBED. The LINK button creates a link to the timestamp of the video itself. This way you can choose to share a video starting from any timestamp. If you want to embed a video (the EMBED button) then it will embed the entire video starting from the beginning of it. If you wish for the embedded video to start at a certain timestamp, simply add the minute and seconds after the video ID in the embed code. In this example <iframe src=”https://www.tromsite.com/videos/fvp-2/#fvp_11,4m40s” allowfullscreen width=”678″ height=”553″ frameborder=”0″ style=”max-width:100%”></iframe> the video ID is “fpv_11” and the timestamp is added after a comma (4m40s). In this case the video starts at the minute 4, second 40.

BOOKS

We create documentaries out of our eBooks. These documentaries are entirely based on the books themselves but they may differ here and there in terms of the script and overall presentation, but in general they are the same as the books. All sources for all of our videos are greatly detailed/sourced in the books they are based upon. These videos are also available without the narration voice so anyone can dub them into any language. See here about how you can do it.

TROM-CAST

Our (almost) weekly video podcast where we discuss one main subject each week + answer questions from people and discuss the most interesting TROM Curated News of the week. The interesting part is that we allow anyone to participate in our cast via Jitsi Meet (a trade-free application), plus anyone can suggest topics for the next casts. So, embark into hours of live-streams about topics like automation, science, religion, trade, behavior, and what not. We also have an audio version of the cast, here.

We have a new TROMjaro ISO https://www.tromjaro.com/releases/ - is hot and tasty :). Grab it. Also subscribe to get notifications every time we release a new ISO. :) - awesome! I struggled a bit with this one, but is out now. Fresh!
Tio
When SpaceX sends astronauts into space and everyone labels that as an amazing achievement, maybe they should put the news title as: "A PRIVATE COMPANY getting a $7 billion contract to send AMERICAN astronauts into space." Company, money, americans. Not organization, exploration, humans.
Tio
If anyone is familiar with Arch-Linux we would use some help here and there with TROMjjaro. TROMjaro has reached many minds that we could not have with just our¡educational projects and we are actively developing this Operating System that is trade-free. But from times to times we may need some help to fix some bugs or create some packages for our distro. Please, if you have the time and knowledge, let us know https://www.tromsite.com/contact/ - cheers!
Tio
Really nice day yesterday - my day off :). Today I will release a new TROMjaro iso since Manjaro finally pushed the update we were waiting for. Then back to TROM 2. Aaron does a fantastic job with the trade-free directory. I am sooo hapy to see him understanding this concept so well and become a watchdog for what is trade-free and what is not. Also big thanks to Alexio who is always there on TROM Cloud chats helping with a lot of stuff here and there. paying attention to what we do, or have to do. Always there :).
Tio
So, I'll take a day off tomorrow and then I really hope I won't have to focus on anything else but TROM 2. I need to. I have to. I want to.
Tio
So. if you want to stay in touch with what we do, here are your options (automated emails to your email account, or rss feeds):

- https://www.videoneat.com/notifications/ VideoNeat
- https://www.tiotrom.com/notifications/ TioTROM
- https://www.tromjaro.com/notifications/ TROMjaro
- https://www.trade-free.org/directory/notifications/ Trade-Free Directory
- https://www.ourminds.online/notifications/ OurMinds

For TROMsite you can keep an eye on tromsite.com/live where we post daily.
Tio
All notifications implemented! I also moved TROM Newsletter from the company MailChimp to our own thing on tromsite.com/contact. I imported all of the past subcribers and I plan to send a newsletter today later on. To also test the system. Great! Need to go for a walk now haha...
Tio
TioTROM notifications are done https://www.tiotrom.com/notifications/ ! ok, next one!
Tio
Added notifications for OurMinds too https://www.ourminds.online/notifications/ - also accessible from the sidebar. RSS + EMAIL. Simple. Great. Ok, next is tiotrom!
Tio
I will do all of those tomorrow ;). That's basically what I wanted to do before focusing on TROM 2. Dam I say that so many times and all the time something new is on the horizon haha. So lets see....i hope not.
Tio
I have to do it for OurMinds and TioTROM websites too. These should be easy to do. And also replace MailChimp for tromsite with the same thing. But ofc for tormsite i cant automate it...so at best we can send a manual newsletter once in a while....I dont like that since we heave this tromsite live thing...and i post here nonn stop. But at least to replace mailchimp...
Tio
The Notification page for the Trade-Free Directory is done https://www.trade-free.org/directory/notifications/ ! much more difficult to make these pages than anticipated....is easy to fuck things up....like who subscribes where and how. These tiny rules....but is done.
Tio
New Notification page for TROMjaro https://www.tromjaro.com/notifications/ - want to get an email when we release a new ISO? Or when we release a new article? Or a weekly email with the latest apps we add to tromjaro.com/apps? You can do all that from there + subscribe to our RSS.
Tio
Planning to implement the notifications tonight...for all websites....lets see if i can do it. :D And I am still waiting for manjaro to push that update so I can build the next TROMjaro iso. Not many changes and such. But just for the sake of updates mainly.
Tio
I removed the google custom search engine from our curated tools for 3 reasons:

1. It was collecting data and injecting ads into the search results on tromsite.com.
2. I wasn't managing it anymore and I don0t think anyone used it honestly
3. We discovered a great search engine that is not TROM curated but is very functional and I think it makes sense for anyone to use it. See more about it here https://www.trade-free.org/directory/?s=searx - I recommend https://www.trade-free.org/directory/goods-services/search-disroot-org/ - install this addon for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disroot-search/?src=search and start using it. I will explain more about it when we release a new TROMjaro iso since it will be the default search engine on TROMjaro.

If anyone still wants to use the old google curated search engine see https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=008802094222122130605:ramsowydbq4 - all in all, it was not that ok to use it on tromsite.
Tio
Latest TROM cast here https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#fvp_233,1s and audio here https://www.tromsite.com/videos/trom-cast-audio/

I improved a bit the trade-free directory homepage https://www.trade-free.org/directory/ - added "rejected" items to a different page and reviews on teh homepage. anyways. looking good.

TROM-Cast: Trade-Free Directory. On 27th of May at 6PM Madrid time. Shownotes here https://www.cloud.tromsite.com/s/maMDp72WBH9nCKT
Tio
I am again sorry for the unanswered email...I was so busy these days with stuff....I want to finish teh integration of the subscription thing for all websites....then to start TROM 2. Again.....
Tio
And now it is integrated with trom curated sutf here https://www.tromsite.com/tools/goods-services
Tio
We are very happy to release the Trade-Free Directory https://www.trade-free.org/directory/ !

For those who are wondering if there are any trade-free goods/services out there, this is our answer to them. Yes there are, and we are creating a massive directory to showcase them. And we need your help. This website relies on people to submit trade-free goods/services and to review/rate them. We made it all super easy for you. No account needed.

First, glance at the stuff we already added here https://www.trade-free.org/directory/. Then use the submit form to submit new stuff and also underneath each item you can submit your review.

Tomorrow (27th) we will make an entire TROM-Cast about this directory and anyone can participate. 6PM Madrid time at tromsite.com/live or [link src="tromsite.com/chat.

Please"] help us grow this directory!
Tio
So I implemented a Notification system for VideoNeat https://www.videoneat.com/notifications/ - you can subscribe to our RSS feed or via email to get an email whenever we post new stuff to VN, or weekly emails with the latest from VN. Best way to keep'n'touch. Try it! I will implement this to all websites these days. maybe today if I am very efficient ;). I think it is super cool to have it all so automated in this way.
Tio
We will release the trade-free directory today ;) - and today I'll work on the newsletter and notification thing for all websites....sorry TROM 2, just wait a bit. Just a bit, and I'll get back to you! Also, we will deploy a better search engine for tromjaro ;)
Tio
Very cool flamingos. And other birds :). And I didn't work on TROM 2 at all... :( - I worked on something else. I can't contain myself haha. So basically I want to make our websites more easy to "follow" and I am working to integrate a system for them all so anyone cna subscribe via 2 methods: email or rss. Say you want to know when we release a new TROMjaro, you should get an email the moment we release a new ISO. Or, subscribe via RSS to that. Or, say you want to keep up with what we add to videoneat and you want to get an email every week with the latest documentaries or courses we add there. I already tested the system. Seems to work great. It is not as difficult to implement as far as I've seen. I think it may be important now that I will be busy with the documentary. So maybe let's finish implementing that first....then I can focus entirely on the documentary...TROMsite would be the hardest to do like that, or impossible...since we use different methods to add new videos and books and all that....so I'll see. That should probably be the only manual newsletter. The rest will be automatic. Anyways....I hope to do it in just a few days time :P. This is important in my view so....
Tio
taking a break, going to see some flamingos with georgi and sasha :) - we are lucky that here there is a natural reserve (a small one, but cool) - birds and stuff. did you know that flamingos are pink because of what they eat? if they change their diet, they change their color. search it! use https://peekier.com/ - the new trade-free search engine that we will use as default for tromjaro. I am using it now. duckduckgo can suck a duck, because they inject ads into your face. it will be removed from tromjaro. ok, i, later on ill do TROM 2 work. i hope! no more interruptions please! :)
Tio
fixed tiotrom.com and bigworldsmallsasha.com
Tio
Ok I think I fixed tromjaro.com.....damn, a few hours spent on restructuring the comment section and integrate all with the website design...no TROM 2 day for now...had to do this.
Tio
The bloody comments plugin for tromjaro, tiotrom, and bigworldsmallsasha got an awful update and added a bunch of crap :D - I will work on fixing it. Already moved tromajro to the default wordpress comment module and I'll do the same for tiotrom. I realized over time that in wordpress it is best to keep it as close to the core wp installation as possible, else with so many plugins the website is slow and difficult to manage.
Tio
I did some extra work on tromjaro (sent Georgi more app icons to do) + tried to fix the illustrations page for our curated tools, since we pull data from instagram (cause we don't find any other place to do so - these 'artists' pu their stuff on insta-shit so...) - anyways, it doesn't work to update with new posts from them. Insta-bs is playing not-very-nice. Alright....focus more on TROM 2. And I'll get back to emails tomorrow ;)
Tio
I am trying to record my voice to see if I can present the documentary. If it doesn't go well, there are a bunch of people with an amazing voice that will record a voice-over for TROM 2 ;). I am going to try and see if I can "host" teh documentary or make it like the previous one with a narration/voice over, without a presenter. In any case, trying...oh I'm using a 65 Euros mic. It seems pretty good. I tested 2 so far. This one seems ok. I don't need any pro mic probably, but the lav mic I have picks up too much noise from the room and outside. This one does excellent in that regards. Chat image
Tio
Day 1 of TROM 2. I am organizing my thoughts about it. I will start going through some "society-changing" websites and materials to get into the "mood". I may take it easy for a few days, thinking about what I'm gonna do and such. I will make a "trailer" (video) about TROM 2 soonish to announce it. Plus 2 livestreams only with myself about: 01. All that I do. and 02. All that I want to do. These will explain my "position", mental state, of what I want to do next and what I've done previously, and will also try to seek for financial help, else in 4 months I'll have 0 money. I will make TROM 2 regardless, but I will try to push a donation campaign for it too, since it is necessary. I wanted to make a donation campaign first, and say if I raise the money I'll make TROM 2, but that's shitty from a "creative" standpoint. I don't want to put a pressure on me or create expectations from people. Look, I will make TROM 2, now it depends how much it will take me to do it and how stress I'll be with very little money while doing it. But I'll do it. Now is different from 2010 when I started the first TROM. Back then I had way less responsibilities: financial or otherwise. Now there are a bunch of projects I manage and I have to take care of myself financially. It is going to be a much tougher challenge. But I'll take it!
Tio
Ok. So. I did some maintenance work on all websites. Fixed some VN links and removed some slight-trackers from some websites. You know, when you use so many plugins and such, there is a chance your website will have AIDS. Trackers. Anyways, all of the websites should be tracker free, which tiny exceptions where we use amara.org to subtitle videos. Next week, on 27th we do a tromcast about the trade-free directory. Aaron does a fantastic job with it. And the others who help out ;). We will release it that day probably. Then, the next tromcast will be about "sharing" and we have Colin as a guest. He is the guy behind https://freeworldcharter.org/en and he is releasing a website where people can share stuff with each other. Then, we may do a tromcast about the zeitgeist movement and one bout the tvp organization (our experience with tvp). BUT, the most exciting news for me is that I can officially say now that I have started the work on the new TROM 2 documentary. I am in the thinking and taking-notes and such phase. I'll keep you all posted. The trains: tromsite, videoneat, tromjaro, trade-free, tiotrom, ourminds, musikwave, and so forth are all working well. I will keep them updated and that's mostly it. Anyways. Exciting! :)
Tio
I am ready to release a new tromjaro iso but i am waiting for manjaro to push a update to fix a bug with the os installer. Else you cant install tormjaro, you can only test it in the live mode. As soon as they do that I'll push an update. Not a big one, but maintenance mostly.
Tio
Alexio is in charge with categorizing the stuff on our trade-free directory. Thank you my friend. He also helps with translating all of our websites in Romanian and tests tromjaro. Very nice guy!
Tio
In other news, MusikWave works... - so basically I want to finish with releasing a new tromjaro iso then fix some VN links, and then I'm done I hope. We will have to schedule some new tromcasts these next days/weeks. I'll let you all know here....
Tio
Today I worked on a new TROMjaro iso. All fine, except one bug that does not allow you to launch the tromjaro installer....so basically you cannot install tromjaro :). I tried to track the bug down and I think it has to do with the manjaro team. I reported it. Let's see....
Tio
Tested these days a virtual keyboard for tormjaro for the tablet mode...I have to figure it out if I work on release a new tromjaro now and then start the documentary phase, or start that adn deal with tormjaro later. probably I'll release a tromjaro these days....
Tio
And musikwave is again not working bcs of youtube....I will have to create yet another API....will see if musikwave is sustainable - I am looking for alternatives to recommend. So far I am testing one that looks super cool but at times it doesn't play some songs because of the same issue with youtube api but they want to change and not rely on that anymore. So...will see.
Tio
I added a few more icons to tromjaro apps - scheduled. And improved the pages for those that were already added ;)
Tio
The "economy" is nothing more than people trading shit. From one to another. And because humans made it so complicated (unnecessary complexity) then we think that this trading is as part of our lives as the fabric of the cosmos is. Too complex to even question it. Too massive to ever change it. Truth is, our "economy" is like a pizza. Pizza is nothing more than a bread dough + cheese/mushrooms and a few other ingredients on top. Basically a sandwich that we put into the oven. We came up with fancy names for this sandwich and we think it is different than a sandwich. But the reality is, the difference is little to non existent. Our economy is a sandwich. But we think it is a pizza. We should stop pretending and start organizing those ingredients in all kinds of ways to create better food. We can do it, is not that complex. We make it look like. We don't need to "reopen" the economy, we need to re-think it. We have more than enough for all of us, yet we still trade for it. So much nonsense. Chat image
Tio
I will stop sharing photos about our trade-free directory here since we may release it very soon :P - for anyone to see and test and get involved with ;)
Tio
So, perhaps the only things i ha to do now is to fix some broken videoneat pages for some documentaries that cody is checking, and release a new tromjaro iso with updates and a few minor bug fixes and additions - the usual ;). Not much.
Tio
I updated the Donation page to better reflect how we use money and how much we have and need. It was difficult the way I did it before with every big donation being split over a 12 months period of time. So, now, to reflect it better see how I did it here https://www.tromsite.com/donate/. I also updated the Liberapay and patreon pages with a new description and such. Basically we run out of money at the end of September :D. So, I will try to get more funds, a never ending mission for me. Let's see. I will make some videos about what I do and what I want to do next- Perhaps some live videos in a week or so. To also try to raise some funds. We are always on a very weak foundation with TROM and now that I am involved in doing so many things, far beyond just writing books, is getting a lot more challenging to find funds to sustain these projects. I also lack motivation to try and raise money. I am too busy doing stuff....anyways, thanks to those 50-60 or so people who keep on still supporting these projects financially! ;)
Tio
I improved a bit the tools page for each category to be look a bit better on tablets and stupidphones. And now that in Spain the covid lockdown is starting to fade away, honestly I miss the quarantine days. It was much quieter. Nicer. Could focus better on working on stuff. Outside was also nicer. Less cars, less noise or whatever else pollution :D.
Tio
I integrated the trade-free directory into tromsite ;) - but the content is not public yet. Now we have 10 curated sections. wow. https://www.tromsite.com/tools/ - so much stuff! My next mission is the redesign and rethink a bit the tromsite donate page. I will try to do that tomorrow. Once done, I may have to fix a few links from videoneat that Cody is checking. Thanks my dude! And maybe release a new tromjaro ISO with a few fixes and improvements. That's mainly it.
Tio
That's how you search on the trade-free directory :P Chat image
Tio
Here's Toyotis' list of TROM books - whet he read, what he didn't. ;) - and the ones marked with "gr" are in Greek. We also have a Greek version of tromsite here https://tromsitegr.hashbase.io/#:HOME. If you want to read all of our books (in English) go here https://www.tromsite.com/books/ . As you can see in the photo, Toyotis also printed the trade-free DeepCards made by Aaron https://www.deepcards.org/. Thanks for sharing this Toyotis! Chat image
Tio
i worked on the trade free directory more toady.....we had to fix something in reagrds to the categorization of the stuff there....maybe im done lets see... :D
Tio
Trade-Free directory: this is how we list the "tags" or "what these organizations" offer - it is simple and efficient Chat image
Tio
today was my IDGAS day. partially. am tired. Aaron adds more stuff to teh directory. I'll go back to work tomorrow and update you all with what im doing as always ;)
Tio
Ill share with you a daily screenshot of the new trade-freee directory. Today, the homepage. As you can see it looks like the main trade-free.org website, despite them being 2 different websites. First you see the Logo, then the important text describing what trade-free means in 2 sentences, then the menu. Simple. Beneath you will see a slider of random goods/services and will be different every time you refresh the page. And beneath them are all of the services nicely sorted alphabetically. These are "tags" or what we call "offers" - what are they offering. Click any to see the list of them ;). And, of course, at teh bottom you can see the language selector. Chat image
Tio
DONE. The trade-free directory is done. At least my part of the work. It looks great in my view. It works great. All is perfecto. For the next days or weeks, close trom people will be able to review it, and add stuff to it. So we make it better prepared to make it public. Hopefully others can get engaged and make it better and better. Aaron is the main guy in charge of it now :). Of course, when we will release it we will make a tromcast all about it! ;) - I will share it first here - likely. Happy.
Tio
tomorrow im prettty sure, 98%, that ill be done with the trade-free directory. after that ill tell you whats next :D
Tio
still working on the trade-free directory ;)
Tio
musikwave works again! :P
Tio
so, i have to finish with this before i start teh documentary. well...you know....a bit more work. thing is, all of this is part of my "work" - no more, no less, than the next trom documentary. so.... Anyways. We will make the directory public very soon.
Tio
ok pweeple. the directory is ready. we only have to create a page to explain what we expect from others to submit - like a small/tiny guide of what we expect from them. anyone will be able to submit "items" in such a simple way that we use it too, to submit. i love it. :). aaron ads lots of services like a crazy man haha. the more we add the better it becomes.
Tio
MusikWave may not work for now....youtube closed my access to teh API that I was using they want me to go though an "audit" - let's see. If I can't restore it then I'll show you other alternatives.
Tio
tired as fuck...ive worked these past 2 days on the trade free directory like nuts. i am dizzy. but we are almost there. basically we have the code model of it, the design. search, tags, layouts, reviews (voting and so forth). i need to take another look at the layout for individual items - i may add 1-2 things there. then the submit new item and to explain a bit what do we expect from the submissions. SORRY for all who have sent me an email and i wasnt able to get back to. I promise i will super soon.
Tio
so....i was like "im done with everything, now lets start the documentary work" - hahaha. joke! almost. so aaron was like "hey, you are busy with teh documentary what if i create the trade free directory that we wanted to do for a while now?". and i was excited. i said YE. but then i also ended up working on it haha. cause i love it. and to my surprise it is almost done. ofc a prototype. but a workable one. will be a very simple website and all. you will see. probably i will work more tomorrow and maybe 1 more day. then thats it. is aaron's thing! ill tell you more about it tomorrow and show you stuff! :P
Tio
Oh Jen thank you so much for the 100 Euros donation! You have helped TROM financially a lot! And you make awesome articles for ourminds like I told you before! :)
Tio
Thank you to those who keep on supporting TROM financially via Patreon and Liberapay and other means. https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - I will update some info about the financial thing in the next days or weeks, since I would need financial support to make the documentary - meaning to sustain myself while doing it. Thank you Roma-Man :) for donating another 100 Euros via Paypal. And this wonderful message: "For TROM projects, which keep up to bring the greatest services on totally Trade-free basis. And all of that are even during these harsh times that humanity try to overcome. Much, much love! " - this guy donated so much money to TROM and helped with TROMjaro and stuff that I can't thank him enough. Much appreciated Roma. All of it!
Tio
SO on https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ the categories were sorted randomly and there was a bug where you could not load all apps from each category. The developers of the plugin we use for that tried for weeks to fix it but they could not. However as a fix we sorted them by date now. Maybe is even better that way than randomly. In any case, now everything works fine! Our apps page is great :P
Tio
In a previous post i incorrectly wrote the url of ourminds.online and trade-free.org. So I correct that! Thanks Fra for the heads--up ! :)
Tio
TROMsite transaltion page updated https://www.tromsite.com/translation.html#HOME:HOME - with some 20-30 new videos! New work for the translators! :)
Tio
Oh sorry, one more thing to do: to update the tromsite.com translation page....with the new videos...will do it tonight!
Tio
That's it! I'm done with the stuff I had to do. These days I will take a little break from everything to contemplate about the documentary :D - I am also gonna talk to Aaron who wants to help build that trade-free directory we've been talking about for a while. Sounds great! These trains are up and running: tromjaro.com, tromsite.com, videoneat.com, tiotrom.com, ourminds.com, musikwave.com, trade-free.com. I hope I wont have to deal with them much for the next many months. On VN there is new stuff posted every day for the next 3 or so months. On TROMjaro new stuff posted daily for the next 5-6 months. Musikwave works on its own doesnt need updating. Same is true for trade-free. Tiotrom is just my space, needs no update. OurMinds fortunately is kept active by these other TROM maniacs :). And TROMsite is always active via the curated "world" - but wont post anything new for the coming months, maybe only TROMcast episodes and if these other guys make new videos like Voices, Poems, or Snippets. That's all for now. I will update everyone here ;)
Tio
Ok so finally I added all of the leftover videos from TROM - 3 added to Others https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#other and 11 more to Voices https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#voices - I had that on my list for the past year or so :D - finally it is done!
Tio
Now that I'm done with my massive work for TROMjaro and VideoNeat, I am re-adding older TROM videos to tromsite. Voices + Other. I should be done with that tomorrow when I'll also update the translation page with all the videos. Ready for translation! And that's basically the only thing I have to do before starting the new documentary. Will keep everyone posted here ;)
Tio
Boys and girls, a new TROMjaro ISO https://www.tromjaro.com/releases/ - not a lot of changes. We got rid of some trade-based services and such. Get it from here https://www.tromjaro.com/install/
Tio
TROM L'Estartit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-PT6tJGDkY - 1 year ago today, a bunch of people who are close to TROM met for the first time. It was very fun. Interesting discussions, interesting people. Great! We will try to do another such meeting this year and maybe every year. We will invite anyone this time not only close TROM-people ;).
Tio
lots of work on tromjaro today. it seems to be DONE :) - a new iso tomorrow with a few changes ;)
Tio
no tromcast this week ;) - we may do one in 10 or so days
Tio
probably tomorrow ill release a new tromjaro iso ;) - did some stuff today on it. just a few tiny bugs fixed and some changes. very minimal...
Tio
We are forced to use CLoudFlare to protect our websites from spam-bots, so CloudFlare collects anonymous data about visitors. I do not think this is a trade since it is done for security reasons. CloudFlare also keeps tracks of these "visits" and I got bored today a bit (being sleepy and tired) and looked at the stats. And I'm sharing them with you....

These are unique visitors per day - the average, then the maximum in a day and minimum in a day:

- musikwave: 300 (max: 1784, min: 1011)
- tiotrom: 210 (max: 598, min: 309)
- trade-free: 130 (max: 367, min: 118)
- tromjaro: 384 (max: 1481, min: 675)
- tromsite: 700 (max: 1970, min: 948)
- videoneat: 440 (max: 1382, min: 794)

So, apparently a few hundred people use these websites daily. Maybe a few thousands in total. Which is good, and makes no difference to me :P. I am doing the same work as I did before. Such stats are quite irrelevant to me. Anyways, thought to share them with you.
Tio
My work on VideoNeat https://www.videoneat.com/ is DONE for now! Yeeee! For the next 3+ months there will be 1 documentary/movie/course a day posted on videoneat! Mostly courses, some 90 of them. Really awesome stuff there.....lots of episodes each course....an amazing set of educational materials that can keep you busy for the years to come! And I will add more and more in the following months, but for now I am done with VN! My next thing is to release a new TROMjaro iso with mainly updates and a few fixes (very minor). 2-3 days of work probably, or less. And also post some stuff to tromsite.com (some older videos). Then I move to the next big thing!
Tio
Lucy Johnstone - Against Psychiatric Diagnosis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAAj201MR9U - a really great interview with Lucy Johnstone who injects some proper science into the so called "mental diseases" that have no basis (or little) in reality. Instead of looking at genes, chemical substances in the brain, or the brain itself, we should look at the environment. Why are people so called "depressed"? Well, look at their life experience (the environment) instead of simplifying it in this pseudoscience way of "biology".
Tio
Here's an interesting project made by Aaron https://www.deepcards.org/ (trade-free) - Deep Cards. Play it with your friends! ;) It can lead to interesting discussions.
Tio
I only have 8 or so courses to schedule. I will do them tomorrow. Then I want to release a new TROMjaro iso witha few fixes and to replace some default apps and such. No big deal. Maybe I'll not schedule more apps to tromjaro for now. I want to achieve a level of "control" with these projects now that i will start the work on the documentary, so maybe I'll dedicate 1 day a week for VN and TROMjaro, to add new stuff to maintain them, so I may leave whatever apps and documentaries I have for these days to test how that would work...on top of this, before I start the documentary work, I need to add a few leftover tromsite voices videos, maybe one to the "others" category, and update the translation page. Not a big deal. And whatever articles I want to make for tromjaro and such, or the video about tromjaro on a tablet, I'll do while working on the documentary. I am really curious to see how I'll deal with such a massive work (and creative) for teh documentary combined with my daily work on vn, tromjaro, tromsite, tromcloud, tiotrom, ourminds (at times), and such. let's see....i hope to find a good balance of all of that.
Tio
TROM-Cast about TVP and RBE is now available on our website https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#fvp_218,2s and in audio format here https://www.tromsite.com/videos/trom-cast-audio/ - it was a great cast I'd say ;)
Tio
Let's discuss about The Venus Project and their Resource Based Economy idea! ;) You can participate to the live discussion at tromsite.com/chat (text or audio/video via Jitsi when we will post that link in the chat). Jitsi does not require any account or app. Works with any browser. Or just watch it live on TheirTube https://youtu.be/D08zlfEGHYk or FacePalm https://www.facebook.com/tromproject/live/ The episode will be posted on https://www.tromsite.com/videos/#cast after the live.
Tio
Today I am fixing an old tromjaro installation - a half of a laptop that i made a tv for my parents from. I'll make a short article about it, to show you that even on really fucked up computers, tromjaro works. So, no time for dealing with VN or anything else. I'll re-watch Future by Design with Sasha tonight https://www.videoneat.com/documentaries/714/future-by-design/ - we want to see how we interpret TVP form that documentary, since in my view is the best about TVP, after many years. I think the last time i watched it was 5-6 years ago. But ofc I watched it several times in total. Tomorrow we talk about TVP/RBE in TROM-Cast. :P
Tio
A, find the shownotes for the cast here https://www.cloud.tromsite.com/s/etkyf59nKDjtner. I love tromcloud :)
Tio
Tomorrow we will do a TROM-Cast about The Venus Project and their idea of a Resource Based Economy. We will look at Jacque's ideas, how realistic they seem, and how is TROM different or alike in that regard.

We encourage anyone who is from TVP to participate if they want to.

To learn more about TVP/RBE we recommend:
TROM Documentary, the Resource Based Economy part https://www.tromsite.com/documentary/#fvp_132,2s and Future by Design Documentary https://www.videoneat.com/documentaries/714/future-by-design/ .


TROM-Cast date:
30th of April, 6PM Madrid time. To participate please keep an eye on tromsite.com/live or get in contact with us at tromsite.com/chat. That's all Chat image
Tio
on 30th we do a tromcast about tvp/rbe ;) - more details tomorrow! :P
Tio
24 more courses to add to VN....1-2 days and I'm done with VN :P - Georgi makes a few more icons for TROMjaro so I can schedule some 22 leftover apps....almost another month of apps :D - great!

The Price we pay to Play the Game https://www.ourminds.online/2020/04/28/the-price-we-pay-to-play-the-game/ : rhymes with a lot of sense, for our present-day socio-economic nonsense ;)
Tio
Heads up: we post documentaries, movies and lectures daily on videoneat.com. Here are the latest:

- Jawline: how instagram makes young people care more about their face than about their mind, and how many businesses exploit the so called "instagram models".
- Florida: America’s Animal Paradise is about the amazing nature in Florida
- War on Plastic with Hugh and Anita: is a 3 part series about how much plastic there is in our environment
- Nature’s Misfits: is about weird creatures on these planets
- Dominion: a gruesome documentary about the livestock industry (really shocking one)
- A Squirrel’s Guide to Success: e gentle documentary about the lives of squirrels
- Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal: how power and the competition mentality is at times a breeding ground for abuse
- Fyre Fraud: perhaps the biggest fraud in the "entertainment" industry for the past years - including some celebrities and the popular Instagram as a boosting for this scam
- First Face of America: a very interesting documentary about the first people who came to America
- Earth from Space: a FANTASTIC documentary series about the amazing Earth

People live with the illusion of democracies and capitalism, yet the current pandemic proves that we live in a dictatorship combined with a sort of communism. The heads of tribes are forcefully keeping people locked inside their homes all around the world, and the stuff they are allowed to buy is limited in many cases. Top down decisions based on fear and punishment. From Australia to UK, USA to Spain, and everywhere else. It is true, such measures seemed to have helped in saving lives (and they still do), but it also showcases that our present day societies are made up of primitive people and illusionary ideas about how it all works. A saner population and society would have taken a more educational approach combined with problem solving and smart resource allocation. Give people trade-free access to their basic needs and they will be more educated when facing such big problems, and more able to cope with this "social distancing" by not being afraid if they will be able to eat tomorrow. Our problems are technical. Our primitiveness, just a lack of education and scientific knowledge. Both problems are mainly created by our trade-based society. Chat image

I always make this typo where instead of "now" I write "not". And that sucks balls because the meaning of what im tryin' to say can be 100% fucked :D. See if you detect that in my post about the trade-free website being translated into italian....jeez...hhaa
Tio
Thanks Fra for translating it!
Tio
The Trade-Free website is now fully translated into Italian https://www.trade-free.org/it/ and of course other languages. How to translate it? Super easy! Go to https://www.trade-free.org/, scroll at the bottom, select the language you want to translate it into. After the page refreshes, scroll down again and tick the box that says "edit the language". That's it, not click the little boxes besides any piece of text and start translating and save the work directly to trade-free.org. It is that easy! For the video simply click the button where you select the subtitles and "improve subtitle". Make the subtitle in your language and that's all. All of your work will be available at trade-free.org the moment you do it.
Tio
TOday, VideoNeat day! Let's add courses! That's what I'm doing for the next days. I already scheduled stuff on VN for 30 days, 1 a day, but I want to schedule for 30 more days or 60 more days. GO!
Tio
I'll take an IGAS tomorrow: I Don't Give A Shit :D . I need a break. 1 day break. I am a very tired....need to relax a bit then go back to my stuff!

TROMjaro vs Windows, a detailed look at these Operating Systems and how they manage real-life tasks that most people use. From the instalation process, to how they deal with files or installing applications. Which one is better? https://www.tromjaro.com/tromjaro-vs-windows-the-defaults/ Chat image
Tio
I am almost done with my detailed Windows vs TROMjaro article (and videos). I need to make one more video tomorrow - to remake it basically. And I'm done. Once I release this I can focus on finishing my job with adding stuff to VN. Doing things, one by one ;) - work work work. I enjoy it.
Tio
it is USD not USB :D
Tio
Thank you Brandon for the 27 USB Paypal donation! https://www.tromsite.com/donate/
Tio
No tromcast today ;) - i need to do some stuff like adding more courses to VN, and make an article for tromjaro :P - work work. productive!
Tio
Today I recorded a lot for an article I am making for tromajro.com....it is the ultimate and the most honest Windows vs TROMjaro :). I am so tired but hours of recording. I'll tell you more tomorrow. Maybe I will release it tomorrow. I've alos moved the VN stuff to teh 6TB HDD. Hours of copying....
Tio
My hard drive and microphone just came. Happy for that. I am now transferring 3+ TB of data to the 6TB one and that will allow me to add mroe stuff to VN the following weeks. Plus, the 3TB space that I'll free'up on my internal drive will be used for the upcoming documentary. Great! Also, tested the mic, quality is really great. I won't say it is 50 times better than the little lav mic I had, but still is great. I mean is 50 times more expensive at 55 Euros. But I didn't really buy it, I "borrowed" it since I can return it before 31st of May, and when you submit the return thing, you have weeks or months till you should send it back. So, probably I can use this mic for 2-3 months or so. If it is good enough and I really need it I may buy it. But since I'm so low on money we'll see.... Chat image
Tio
We are scheduling more Courses for VideoNeat.com for the next months. Tens of them + documentaries + movies. Here's a very relevant course we just published " An Introduction to Infectious Diseases" https://www.videoneat.com/courses/20184/an-introduction-to-infectious-diseases/
Tio
Fixed all videos from all TROM books. What happened is that I had to uplaod over 100 videos on vimeo over time, videos that otherwise would have been removed from youtube. We need them as "source". Then Vimeo closed my Pro account since I didnt want to pay for it anymore since we moved to the trade-free archive.org. So, in order to have these 100+ videos on vimeo not removed from vimeo, I hidden them from pulbic and only made them available on tromsite.com. But the free account what we have now does not have this feature so all videos became unavailable. Luckily the only thing I had to do is one by one change the privacy of these videos on vimeo. In any case, now all should work. Great!
Tio
Ok. So. My next plans are as follows:

1. make an article for tromjaro.com about how to take care of the system (updates, backups, adn all that) - i think it is interesting to clear some misconceptions of "oh linux is hard to work with and manage".

2. i NEED to fix over 100 links in all torm books (videos that were on vimeo and got deleted and now they are on archive.org). this will be a days long challange that i kinda hate....but i have to do it since some videos do not work. Maybe I'll get some help with this...

3. After these are done I want to schedule 20-30 more courses on VN.

Only after these are done, I can finally start my TROM 2 documentary challenge! I also ordered a 6TB hard drive for VN and teh documentary. Around 100 Euros. Not bad. I and Sasha have enough money for the next 3-4 months, then we are 100% broke haha. But we'll see.....
Tio
So, on top of helping some TROMjaro users today, I did this blog post that I wanted to do for a while "My experience with the Manjaro Forums" https://www.tiotrom.com/2020/04/my-experience-with-the-manjaro-forums/ - how we debated about "trade", how they "banned" my posts, and how they are bad at handling suggestions to improve their Operating System.

"Jobs are a primitive notion, here’s why" https://www.ourminds.online/2020/04/16/jobs-are-a-primitive-notion-heres-why/ - very good article by Jen Chat image
Tio
I released a new TROMjaro ISO witha a few minor fixes and such. See here https://www.tromjaro.com/releases/
Tio
Let's be honest, when people "want to go back to work", what they want is not the mandatory work they are forced to engage into, but the access to food, housing, a community, security and so forth. Jobs are nothing more than a way to enslave humans in a society that's already abundant with the stuff we all need and most of us want. Chat image

"About the german culture" - https://www.ourminds.online/2020/04/16/about-the-german-culture/ - Great article by Aaron about how the German culture is influence by trades as any other tribe out there.
Tio
Not much work today----was tired and such....I will have to schedule 20 more courses to VN and then I'll focus on other stuff. I plan to then dedicate 1 day a week for tromjaro and Vn, and focus on the TROM Documentary part 2 ;). I will have to go in lockdownmode myself too when I'll start the documentary. But tromjaro and videoneat will be updated constantly. I also need to update the tromsite.com translate page + add a few videos to our library (in the voices section) - older videos that i didnt add. And maybe do that video about tromjaro on a tablet. That's all I have to do these following days, before starting the big documentary project. I made a ton of progress and I'm on track with my plan. I LOVE that tromjaro adn videoneat are updated with tons of new stuff and will be for the next months to come! And next week probably I'll get that HDD so I can add more stuff to VN + I need it for the documentary. I only have 100GB left on my hard drives. No bueono!
Tio
Today, scheduling courses for VN...and maybe I'll buy a new hard drive so that I can add more stuff to VN. Will see.....

The human plague is created by our trade-based environment and kills far more people than that tiny virus. Both are important to tackle, but you can't just exterminate humans like you do with the virus. So, the best way, is to change their environment. Make the Monopoly game of trade OBSOLETE. We have enough stuff for everyone on Earth to have a luxurious life. There is no need to trade for that anymore. Chat image

Tomorrow we will have a new TROM-Cast live. This time we will discuss about the idea of a Universal Basic Income with our guest Scott Santens http://www.scottsantens.com/ - how relevant is UBI? Can it be a path towards a more trade-free society? On top of this we will discuss our new project: a blog where a bunch of us are writing our thoughts about the world. We hope it to be a hub where you will find new and plenty of information (new articles) about our society, present day events, and more. It is like a TROM-Cast Blog :). We will release it before the Cast. Chat image

Scheduled more VN documentaries/series/movies - 1 a day, for this and next month! ;) - These days I'll schedule courses - some 20+ more courses. I can0t do more since I don't have more space on my machine.... :( - I will have to buy a 6TB hard drive soon. May make a donation campaign but for now that's all I can do....luckily such a HDD is not super expensive so prob I'll be able to buy it. So, a few more days of scheduling VN stuff then I'll let you know what's next ;). Tomorrow we will release a new website :P
Tio
Added a new interesting source to our curated news - https://correctiv.org/en - they are doing fantastic journalism exposing the bad influences of trade. Thanks to Aaron for suggesting this organization!
Tio
We are releasing a new "curated" tool: curated illustrations https://www.tromsite.com/tools/illustrations/ - we feed the stream from a few amazing artists that showcase in photos our trade-based society's problems. Currently we curate: news, videos, podcasts, illustrations, movies, courses, documentaries, software and searches. All tools, here https://www.tromsite.com/tools/ Chat image
Tio
Communicate trade-free (part 1) - I made an article to showcase how you can communicate with each other using trade-free services. Text, video/audio chat, screen share, file sharing, and more. Instead of using Whatsapp, Zoom, Telegram and other trade-based applications that mine your data, limit what you can say of send, and such, you should use these great alternatives ;). https://www.tromjaro.com/communicate-trade-free-part1/

I am off for today :D - IDGAS Friday :P - i hope no project lights on fire :)))
Tio
I am done with websites and server maintenance :P . All seem good now. I also removed Stremio from TROMjaro's app library since these creatures not only forced users to have a guest account in order to use stremio but added ads recently inside the thing. Stremio is a great source to watch online media from multiple sources, but is not trade-free anymore Popcorntime, the other alternative, is better in that regards although now they start to push their own VPN inside the app....see? That's why I'm saying "open source" is not enough. It needs to eb trade-free, else these apps go downhill and become charlatans. I will keep Popcorntime for now in TROMjaro's apps since you are not forced to use their VPN, but they are pushing teh limits of being trade-free.
Tio
You wanna help translate interesting projects? Now you can translate fully tromjaro.com, videoneat.com, or trade-free.org. Simply select a language, then click "edit" underneath the language box and start translate. No account needed. Just motivation ;).

Thank you dear friend Roma for another 100 Euros donation to TROM and the message :) "Kudos to awesome TROM tribe for all TROMendous work they do! Much love" - thank you my friend, you are supporting TROM in many ways! Roma is also helping with TROMjaro, creating some packages here and there, bug fixes and such. Such a human. https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Slight improvements to our books viewer to better work with small screens (like phones). Better way to flip through pages and such. https://www.tromsite.com/books
Tio
Oh and no tromcast tomorrow. It is too much to talk about the covid thing....plus, I am busy. Plus people are too into covid mode so is difficult to talk about other things. Plus we need a break ;)
Tio
Today was a maintenance day for websites/server.....I had to free up a lot of space on the server, disable and remove a bunch of unnecessary plugins and such. I did so for tromsite.com and tiotrom.com. Tomorrow I'll do trade-free.org and videoneat.com. I don't particularly like doing these "jobs" but I have to in order to keep these websites running. I am also battling a bit with updating TROM Cloud to the next nextcloud release....you know, feed the cow, milk the cow, pain the cow, talk about the cow, walk the cow, write about the cow, tell others about teh cow, build a barn for the cow, and all that ;) - one man band. But well, I am fine with it! :P

Hey nice humans thank you for still supporting TROM on Patreon and Liberapay, even in this period of time when humans are forced to suffer financially despite we having more than enough stuff for everyone on Earth. The fact that some still can support TROM is life saving for us. We are still struggling financially but we will announce something very interesting in the following weeks hopefully, and perhaps we will get more financial support for that since we think it is an important step for TROM. Keeping TROMjaro, VideoNeat, TROMsite, and other projects up to date and relevant is a day-to-day work. No breaks. But very important and enjoyable. Stay safe and make sure you prioritize you and your family in this period of time, and if you can support TROM too, that would be very important for us, but if you cannot we will pierce through this bullshit society like we've been for the past 10 or so years somehow. ;)
Tio
Cleaned tromjaro.com form a bunch of unnecessary plugins. The less plugins the better. Now I aim for updating VideoNeat! ;)
Tio
I released another TROMjaro ISO with a little fix for Webtorrent. Read the release notes here https://www.tromjaro.com/releases/ - a small thing tho, so any TROMjaro users can easily fix it.

So, our new project is done. Dima is now testing it since he will be the one trying to help manage it ;) - it will be a blog-like website where I, Sasha, Dima, Jen, maybe Seb, Sofie, Shas, Cody and others will post. Likely some of us will post on our personal websites, but Dima will mirror those articles to this new website. We will make it public soon! It is a trade-free tool for TROM people for now, so they have a way to express themselves without them having to build a website for themselves. Maybe in time we will open it for everyone, but for now we need to test it as such ;).
Tio
You can test our trade-free Linux Operating System (TROMjaro) in any browser if you want https://distrotest.net/TROM-Jaro/02.04.2020 ;) - give it a try before you install it. Mind you, it will be super slow to test in a browser, but at least you can get an idea how TROMjaro is.
Tio
So, I added around 20 more apps to tromjaro today - leftovers from what gia and sofie did in terms of icons. From now on there is 1 app per day, scheduler, for april, mai, jun, july, and august. :D - 5 months of goodies. When I'll test a bunch more apps (which I often do), and we have new icons for them, then I'll ad more in batch. Basically for the next 5 months tromjaro is active. ACTIVE! :D - and in this time I will add more and more. But for now I'm DONE. Moving on to my next thing - I will create a website, a blog, where TROM people can easily write ;). It will be wordpress, it will be simple, it will be set up in just a few days time. You see there are people like Jen, Dima, Yoann, Seb, Sofie and others who want to write about the current issue sin our world or about other things that are interesting and important but some of them can't make a website - so why not build a platform for them? Trade-free. I build it, I manage teh website to make sure it works and is updated, but they can post wherever they want ;). Whenever they want :). We should make it public in a few days time! After that is done, I will schedule many new documentaries to VideoNeat, and then 100% focus on the next TROM documentary. The sequel. Will tell you more about it when I am getting closer to that. Super happy with TROMjaro :) - I love it!

We also have a slightly new homepage (added a few goodies there) https://www.tromjaro.com/ - if you think this work is important and you can support it please consider a donation https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ /TROMjaro is a trade-free Operating System). ;)
Tio
New TROMjaro ISO kinda ready :) - did a lot of work today. All seem to be fine. I need to update the main tromjaro.com page cause i changed some sutff to the default install ;) - and then a few more things and very likely tomorrow i will release a new iso ;) - cool! love it! i also have a "surprise" in store - a new little project that will give a voice to trom people in a more direct way :)
Tio
Starting today we are adding 1 new trade-free app to our TROMjaro app library https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - every day, you'll get some goodies there ;) - stuff to watch, play, create, edit, browse, explore!
Tio
Tomorrow, TROM-Cast: Infected. We do it at 22:00 Madrid time so that Yoann can participate to tell us his is it to be infected with COVID19 :D. yeah, the guy got infected...in Barcelona. Poor beautiful soul :). But yeah, let's hear from him and from others who want to join. Anyone can join!! So please do! Chat image
Tio
Worked a lot on tromjaro today - the new iso. I hope to release it soon.....maybe tomorrow? that'd be great! :)
Tio
Working on the new TROMjaro iso. So far so good. Making a few changes and such ;). Roma works on something too for it ;). For those who know we want to enable the installation of flatpaks from our website like we have done for apps from repos and AUR. These are like the "exe" files for Windows. Different package systems. Right now we rely almost entirely on AUR and Repositories - these alone account for hundreds of thousands of packages. On top of this we added appimages that can be installed easily via tromjaro.com. Adding flatpaks too we will increase the amount of apps that can be easily installed in tromjaro. Mind you, people cna already install flatpaks but we want for them to be able to install them via our website :P - easy peasy.
Tio
For TROMjaro users please read this about the latest updates https://www.tromjaro.com/update-tromjaro-to-gnome-3-36/
Tio
Made a tutorial for how to update tromjaro since this gnome update breaks some stuff. It is a few minutes thing, simple, no worries ;). I will release it with the release notes of the new tromjaro iso. Hopefully I will release that in a few days time. I am working on it ;).
Tio
I reorganized all of our apps https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ so they better fit every category - still difficult, but i think is better now
Tio
I scheduled tromjaro apps for almost 5 months :D - still 20+ more to add when Gia and Sofie are done with the new icons for them. From now on I'll add them little by little, more and more. The big apps-work is DONE! Also, the apps page is a bit redesigned https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - now it is easy to sort through categories ;) - I have to work more on categories and which app fits which. It is way more difficult than you may think....anyways, my next mission now is to release a new TROMjaro iso - need to fix some stuff and so forth.....All of these are very positive things in teh light of the current pandemic-events. At least they relax me and put some positivity out there - sounds like hippy-shit, but is not meant to be like that :P - it simply is positive work (a tool, tormjaro, apps, and such). To create, enjoy, educate, and more!
Tio
Very good TROM-Cast I'd say ;) - I enjoyed it! Now available here https://www.tromsite.com/videos/ and here in audio format https://www.tromsite.com/videos/trom-cast-audio/. Episode 44. 44 weeks = 10 months. Meaning it is a 10 months, week by week. Of course we didn't make it every week so we started it longer than 10 months ago, we started a year + ago. Anyways, I am happy to see that we still do this ;)

Finished my interview with Alex ;) - we will let you know when is out. ALex does a great job at interviewing ;) - really relaxed, professional I'd say, and overall great host. I improvised a mic thing with my lav one :) - i think the audio was great. So, probably he will release it next month. Tomorrow we will do another one about the situation here in spain with the pandemic and how it "feels" being part of that. The main interview was about me, TROM, tvp and such. Alex may participate to tromcast from now on ;) - come there buddy! Chat image
Tio
103 apps so far ;) - progress!! I may take a break for a few hours or the entire day, will see ;) - in 3 or so hours or less I have an interview with Alex from https://www.spreaker.com/user/allreal - looking forward to that ;) - we will talk about TROM and stuff. Will let you know when he publishes it.
Tio
Whoever has TROM-Jaro please do not update your computer for the next week or so. There are some important updates from Gnome that will mess your desktop a bit (in terms of how it looks). I need to figure out how you can do it in a proper way....will let everyone know ;)
Tio
93 apps added to tromjaro, around 60 more to do! :D - Georgi makes icons like nuts haha
Tio
A new FAQ https://www.tromsite.com/faqs/ was submitted to tromsite: Why focus on trade (a behavior) rather than the environment which induces behavior?

Trade is an "action", more like "sharing" or "stealing". This action is made by humans. Acted by humans. The action itself can be called a "behavior" (James trades his data to Google to access Google's services). So it is Jame's behavior at play here. What makes James do that? Mostly it is the structure of our world-wide society where people are forced to trade in order to "obtain". Obtain goods and services. This environment gives people little to no choice so they have to trade. Like having a job in order to get food and accommodation, and so on. We are living in a trade-based-society where everyone has to trade their skills, energy, time and so forth in order to be part of this system. So, in this regards, we focus on this trade-based environment that forces people to trade and thus creating an imbalance of power that gives rise to harmful behaviors, which in turn create most of the problems that we see in the world today. If we are to eliminate this environment that forces people to trade, then people won't have to trade anymore, and thus that behavioral trait will disappear. We explain in detail how this trade-based society (environment) shapes people's behavior, turning them into charlatans, thieves, or abusers - see our The Origin of Most Problems book.
Tio
Half way through adding tromjaro apps ;) - 74 added so far! Making great progress! Lots of apps. We will almost double the amount of apps to our apps library ;) - still around 80 more to add :P
Tio
thank you friend Yoann for the huge 100 Euros donation! You help TROM in many ways! Thank you so much! https://www.tromsite.com/donate/
Tio
10 more apps to the list...slow today.....tomorrow i hope to do 20+ or more :D
Tio
Listening to podcasts here https://www.tromsite.com/tools/podcasts/ and adding apps to tromjaro ;)
Tio
i'M NOW 46 APPS IN FOR TROMJARO...THOSE ARE READY. 100 MORE TO GO! :d - oh caps, too lazy to fix. ok done for today ;)

TROM-Cast: The Coronavirus Pandemic join like here https://meet.jit.si/deadlycast password is covid19. See the cast here https://youtu.be/8QL-Wwjf5-A
Tio
On a different note I see this COVID-19 virus exploding in Europe and Spain is the next Italy. Italy is fucked when you look at the infected humans there and the deaths. And Spain has the highest raise in teh number of infected people out of all countries, maybe except china!?. Here the situation is just...boring and a bit grim. Rarely see people out and we've only been out for a few minutes so far. Seeing how fast it spreads even in this region (Catalunia) is a bit scary. Not for me, since for me the virus will be ok, but for older people like my parents. I have to be careful not to get it and infect them. That'd be the worst....we will talk a lot more in the cast tomorrow... Chat image
Tio
Took me 5 or so hours to test 3 apps for tromjaro in depth. One of which I may include in the default tromjaro iso. I may change/include a bunch of default apps in the next tromjaro release. I am continuing my work on adding new apps. Gia makes icons like crazy and now we have Sofie back to help with them! Go Sofie, GO!
Tio
Tomorrow we will do a TROM-Cast about the Coronavirus Pandemic. Why our trade-based society made the situation worse; what are the facts about the epidemic; how is life in the regions we live; how would a saner society cope with such pandemics. We invite you to participate tomorrow. Chat image
Tio
Today, 20 more apps added to tromjaro :D. More than yesteraday. Buut I am so tired damn....so, 35 apps added to tromjaro so far. 120 more to go hahahah
Tio
Here's Yoann who is working to translate tromsite.com into French :) - he came to visit us in Spain for a week or so. Great great guy. And funny. And he does some really great magic tricks ;). If anyone wants to translate tromsite.com into another language then go here and see how to do it https://www.tromsite.com/act/ Chat image

I am adding new apps to tromjaro. It is a slow process since we need to make and/or select the proper icons, description, make screenshots, and all. I am adding around 8 apps a day. That means in 2 weeks I may add all of them :D. Takes some time but the plan is to add around 150-200 new apps to our apps section and schedule one a day ;). Once that's done, schedule a bunch of VN documentaries and such. When these 2 trains are up and running, only then, I'll feel comfortable enough to start the documentary thing. You see, I'm busy with a bunch of other stuff....so I can't simply start the documentary adn forget about tromjaro, videoneat, tromsite.com, or my personal blog...I can't just put all of these asside and forget about them. I will continue to make these and update them. But I need them to be up and running (as in updated and updating), ;)
Tio
THis is a coronavirus map of the world https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 if you want to stay up to date

I removed AlJazeera and PBS Health from TROM Curated News since they were infecting the news stream with the coronavirus news. TROM News is not only about this, but about many other things. The coronavirus pandemic is important for sure and we have a few other sources that will update about teh situation. But AlJazeera and PBS Health were updating so much taking 80% of the trom news. You can always keep in touch via https://www.aljazeera.com/ about the latest in regards to the pandemic. From now on you'll get only the most important news about the pandemic, without being spammed ;)
Tio
Gia working on making tromjaro icons :) - so far she has 80+ on her list. We make custom icons for the apps we recommend. We have 150+ apps on our to-add list. So, the tromjaro.com/apps library will almost double in the next days or so! ;) Chat image
Tio
Thank you crazy-good-and-very-much-human Roma for donating another 80 Euros for TROM! "For TROM project I love & care and really what matters" - this guy is always there to help out. Thank you so much man! https://www.tromsite.com/donate/
Tio
Busy day with tromjaro apps :P - Georgi has 85 icons on her plate hahaha. I will try to bring her some help. I think we have some 100+ applications ready to be posted on tromjaro apps section. But we need icons + screenshots and description first. Once the icon is done I'll start adding an app. I went through the gallery of apps from KDE, Appimages, Flatpacks, Snaps, Manjaro repositories and Gnome. Not entirely, still doing more and more....I am obsessed. I go through them, I install what I think is trade-free and relevant, then test it on my computer, then select what I think is worth it, then figure it out what's the app's icon (where and the name exactly to work with the icon set we have), then save that with the proper name and send to Georgi. Anyways, work work work. I like it.
Tio
So here in Spain I've seen they are in "emergency" mode because of the COVID-19 virus. You can't tell that when you look outside, but officially they are a bit fucked by the virus. Of course it is not such a deadly virus but it can spread very quickly. I am more concerned for my parents than anyone else, since I'm still young and tough haha. But no, really, older people )say over 60+) that also have some health conditions are at risk. Luckily Spain has a great healthcare system. Such pandemics should make humans realize that we are all the same. Gay, trans-fat, trans-woman, non-binary, tall, black, yellow, vagina or not, doesn't matter. We have the same enemies to fight against. We should, by now, have a scientific global society rather than culturally-and-tribally divided species. So dumb!
Tio
I removed the option to register to videoneat sicne we were bombarded with fake registrations. You don't really have to login to VN in order to save your favorites. The favorites are stored in the browser's cache. We may make an app for VN, like a webapp, that can deal better with such a cache storing system ;) - for now, all good! Back to TROmjaro sorting new apps and such
Tio
I'll alos probably redo our tromjaro apps page and divide it into multiple pages based on categories. this way it is easier to find apps ;). This kind of work seems like a "break from work" for me since I enjoy it so much and it is so positive :).
Tio
Sorted through a bunch of new apps today for tromjaro ;). Will continue tomorrow. I want a huge collection of apps at tromjaro.com/apps ! and it will come!
Tio
I meant "pandemic"....I understand the situation, but I misused the word "epidemic".
Tio
The COVID-19 virus is labeled as an "epidemic", which means it affects the world globally, rather than locally. Viruses do not care about man-made borders. We should think as a species on a global scale, rather than as citizens on a local scale. We tweaked TROM Curated News to provide an insight into this epidemic from a global perspective and from reliable sources https://www.tromsite.com/tools/news - use it.
Tio
No TROMcast tomorrow ;) - also, I'll get back to "full" TROM work in 1-2 days. Keep you posted here ;)
Tio
Around 50 more apps on the pipeline for tromjaro apps section ;) - a lot more to come. We first need to create some icons for them. I already tested them. They look good ;). I am continuing the hunt for new apps. If anyone can help making icons please contact here https://www.tromsite.com - Georgi should have a lot of work to do with the new icons! Also, Yoann is here. Great guy! He works on the tromsite French version. Could be done soon! :)
Tio
From Sasha: I’m what some people may call “computer retarded” but I use TROM-Jaro every day and find it easier to use than any other operating system I have used in the past. It’s simple, it’s free and it works perfectly well for everything I need a computer for. I use it to write and edit blogs, books and long articles (using LibreOffice). I sort and edit photos (with GIMP and Shotwell), download and watch documentaries (with WebTorrent), surf the web (with Firefox), draw (with MyPaint), listen to music and podcasts (with MusikWave and CPod), make voice and video calls (with Jitsi), voice recordings (with Audacity) and more.

I highly recommend TROM-Jaro because it works great, it’s neat and simple, and it’s trade-free! Chat image
Tio
Testing a lot of new apps for tromjaro...that's my mission now ;)
Tio
A new version of TROMjaro is out: TROM-Jaro 08.03.2020 https://www.tromjaro.com/releases/ - Thanks to Dave who left behind a great amount of work that I was able to kinda get it and build a new iso with a few changes here and there. Now I am confident enough that I can manage this ;) - at least the "essence" of it. This release is really just about updates. For new users. That's all. Enjoy!
Tio
I just realized people could not register with Videoneat. Probably I disabled that for security reasons. It is back now. Register here https://www.videoneat.com/wp-login.php?action=register. Registration is just so you can add documentaries to your fav list. You can do it without and account but is better with one.
