Our TROMjaro LInux Distro comes with a customized Firefox. We removed all Firefox annoyances and trackers, plus added addons to block all ads and trackers on any website, also the sponsors from youtube videos; we added LibreDirect so that it automatically redirects youtube, twitter, instagram and the like, to trade-free front ends. We added an addon to unlock scientific papers, and one to allow you to download any video/audio file from any website.

All in all, we setup TROMjaro's browser to protect you from the pesky world of the Internet and the insidious trades humans are exposed to.

Our Peertube got updated. There are some cool new features:

1. Automated subtitles based on machine learning. Select the language of your video and an automated subtitle will be created. We do not know how good this feature is, but it is worth a shot.
2. Ability to edit any subtitle.
3. You can cut any of your videos now, using the Studio. There you can also add an intro, outro, and watermark. Basic video editing in the browser!
4. Ability to auto save the permanent livestreams - don't lose those again!
5. Live streams now get converted into multiple formats.
6. Share on the Fediverse:

Please join us! If you are making interesting videos about science/technology/activism in English, you have unlimited storage space with us. We already have over 1.000 registered users, but not many are uploading. #tromlive

Soon we will add a Theme Switch to TROMjaro 😀

You will be able to click any color combination from the list and change your theme based on the color accent and dark/light mode. And unlike Pop OS, Deepin, Ubuntu, Gnome and the like, our Theme Switch changes the theme for some 90% of all apps out there, compared to some 10-20% for these other distros.

Stay tuned! #tromlive

Thank you Guillaume for the 250 Euros donation! This is fantastic! It may add up a bit to speeding up the TROM II documentary work comeback. If we had enough money we would resume the work on the documentary. And we wok on achieving that. Thank you to everyone who still donates via Patreon or Liberapay.

We have increased the file size limit for send.trom.tf/ from 3GB to 5GB. Compare with the very popular WeTransfer and we offer 3 times more storage. Plus we can store all files up to a week. On top of this all files are encrypted, and you can send an email with the files from our server directly, to anyone. You can combine multiple files into one archive and even password protect them.

Oh, and of course, our TROM Send is trade-free. We do not want anything in return: not your currency, not your data, not your attention. WeTransfer wants all of those in return for a lesser service.

Make sure you bookmark send.trom.tf/ #tromlive

Our monthly budged updated. We now have around 2.100 Euros in total. This is meant to keep all of the TROM projects alive and relevant. Some 30 websites or so. See tromsite.com/tools/ . It is of course not enough. TROM II documentary has stalled now, because of lack of funding. We, the ones behind TROM, are trying to work (trade) to make some money to support this project and continue the TROM II documentary. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult.

We still get some monthly donations or one time donations from time to time, which is fantastic! So if you think TROM creates something important, please consider a donation tromsite.com/donate/

We have many free books, videos, and so many tools: from social networks to operating systems and so on. #tromlive

Also, as a general thought, copyright is a human invention and it is detrimental to everyone. It is bullshit, like the documentary's title videoneat.com/documentaries/29… - also use HTTPS not HTTP, and not the translated version of the website with "uk" in that URL. Makes things easier.

Our TROM.tf server's diskspace is getting kinda full. We have a ton of services so this is to be expected. We are trying to be more restrictive with our Peertube instance so that we may be able to remove more content that does not fit the thematic. When we reach 80% diskspace full we will need to do something about it.

#tromlive

We can migrate our Peertube storage to an object storage. Maybe we will do a campaign to raise the funds for that. May be as low as 250 Euros for a year of 2TB storage. That is twice as much as we have for Peertube right now. And we can free up some space on the server for Nextcloud and other services. Right now Peertube takes up about 70% of the storage on the server.

Usual Manjaro updates plus:

  • Added a font manager. This one.
  • Added the Gnome Clocks: Alarms, World Clocks, Stopwatch. Do not forget to fix the libadwaita-non-respecting-the-theme thing for it. See this.
  • Speaking of that we have removed the Gnome Calculator because we could not force it to use the system’s theme, because of the same “libadwaita-non-respecting-the-theme thing”. And we added the pantheon-calculator. Nice, little and useful.

That’s all! Grab the ISO from here.

Never forget this: you can be the most skilled human in the world, the smartest, the kindest. But if you do not trade your skills and qualities, from this trade-based society's perspective, you are as good as dead. The best surgeon, the best painter, the best electrician, doctor, programmer, scientist...will die in this society if he/she does not trade their skills for needs/wants.

Never ever forget that.

We need no statistics to realize how fucked up our trade-based society is.

The ice melting cult

Imagine for a moment that there was this group of people in the world, screaming that the ice is melting and the sea levels are rising. They scream and scream how coastlines will be under water in 100 years time. "We need to stop the ice melting!" their slogans say. "We need more political will to stop the melting!" they are screaming.

But then some weirdo comes and tells them...."You know that the ice melting and its impacts, are because of climate change...". He is quickly dismissed. The Ice Melting Cult marches forward, too blind to see that ice melting is just a symptom of a greater problem.

Well, this is what we are confronting nowadays via projects like TROM. The world is screaming "climate change", others say "the soil is being destroyed", some say "corruption is the problem". Plastic, waste, slavery, inequality. A LOT. But what they fail to see is that all of these are symptoms. Symptoms of trade.

Take climate change. The reason humans pollute so much and can't seem to change and move to renewables, is that...well...they have to trade. The fossil fuel industry is so huge in this trade game, that they can influence politics. Politics is a bunch of people who get a lot of money from being in those places. The other humans are too busy trading their life away to get access even to their basic needs, so what can they do. Everyone is in a race to trade, and in the process they are either destroyers of the environment (think big corporations), or numb zombies who can't even grasp these issues or do anything about them (think most workers).

So we are impotent to fix climate change simply because this trade based society does not allow it. It incentivizes humans to profit more, be mindless, consumers, etc.. Even if we switched to renewable energies tomorrow, these incentives will make humans create more and more waste, pollution, suffering, destroy the environment, and so forth. Pointless.

And so, to all of those who do not see this trade based society as the originators of most of today's problems, I am calling you out because you are in the Ice Melting Cult. And you have to wake up. Else we are all fucked. Thank you!

The TROM II documentary was paused because of lack of funds. It is a sad decision but we have no choice. Thank you to all of those who are still helping us via Patreon or Liberapay! Without you we could not have kept the work going - tromsite.com/donate/

We will work again on the documentary once we have enough financial stability to do so. This trade-based society kicks everyone in the balls on a constant basis. TROM was able to withstand it since 2011. Active, updated, relevant, engaged. These are difficult time but we are not giving up! We need to tell the world that trade is the origin of most problems and to motivate them to do trade-free goods/services. We are starting a movement that has no leader, and is attached to no project. But it needs time and we are the pioneers of it, so for us it will be the harshest.

The people who have helped, help and will help TROM, the ones donating, even those spreading the word, are all part of this new movement whether they understand it or not. #tromlive

This is a new study showing that dog breeds do not predict behavior link.trom.tf/E5PRCbRT

Meaning that the environment is what makes a dog aggressive, friendly, or whatever else. As it is to be expected. Humans spend way too much time and energy trying to find some bio-chemical reason for behavior in all kinds of creatures, including humans, yet so far nothing. Of course. Look at the environment! It is the best predictor by far for all species.

Diversity is not created by "capitalism"

Many people believe a fat myth of today's world, that capitalism (this trade-based system) is creating diversity. Look at how many chocolates there are, cars, gadgets, software, etc.. But this is a myth. The diversity is in the package/wrapper and not the product itself. Most phones are the same, nothing new for "new releases". Cars brought almost no advantage to transportation overall for the past decades. Products in the supermarket taste quite the same between brands, and clothes are recycled fashion trends. Movies and books are remakes or copy cats of whatever sells best. And so on.

Anyway, here is a search engine we made to showcase how 175 companies own pretty much everything in this world tromsite.com/tbf/

But I want to focus on 1 particular domain: software.

Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, VK, and maybe 3-4 more, are the ones that are the most used in the world. They do not communicate with each other and are very limited in terms of functionality. It means you choose one or another, or a bunch of them and manage them separately. They are trade-based platforms (you trade your data, currency, attention to them). Full of ads, full of censorship, full of crap overall.

On the other hand the Fediverse is a network of such platforms: Friendica, Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, Funkwhale, and so forth. Look at the diversity here fediverse.party/en/miscellaneo… - these are made by different organizations and enabled by different people. A ton of diversity in terms of options.

These are video platforms, blog platforms, photo sharing platforms, platforms for musicians, live streaming, events, you name it. And all communicate with each other. If some organization has an account with Peertube (video platform) I can follow and interact with them from my social platform Friendica. How amazing! If I have a Peertube account and a Friendica one, I can easily setup so that when I post on Peertube a video, it goes on my Friendica too, as a post. The options are very diverse.

This "fediverse" is created not to be traded but to be shared. You will not find ads on these platforms (at least not on the vast majority of them), or data collection or any of that crap.

The MacOS and Windows vs Linux is yet another example of how diversity is actually achieved when humans do not sell their stuff and themselves, when you have a community of people who share their work and ideas. Linux comes in so many flavors for so many needs and wants. Look at this:

So if you look at software overall, the "capitalism" world, which is the trade-based world in which people make software to trade it (for data, attention, currency, etc.) is like a handful of options. But when the software is created for the sake of creating it and is shared and anyone can copy these, modify, redistribute, as trade-free, then real diversity is created and a better environment emerges overall.

We should take the software example and try to provide other goods/services in the same manner. But to do that we have to decouple humans from the trade-based society. At least when it comes to their basic needs. Else no one can have the time to engage in such things. Software is easy to create and maintain from the comfort of your home and in your space time, but is difficult when it comes to food or other goods and services. In any case there is still and abundance of such trade-free goods/services out there as we showcase here directory.trade-free.org/. But this is not enough.

So. If we want to create a wonderful society, we first have to decouple humans from this trade-based society by at least providing them with their basic needs as trade-free. That creates a good soil for the emergence of lots of trade-free goods/services, in a positive feedback loop. Imagine how much good we can create in this world. Imagine how much real diversity. Imagine how wonderful this could be.

If you are worried that yet another billionaire is owning a social (ad) platform (twitter) then we recommend our own social network that connects with millions of people across the fediverse. This is it : social.trom.tf

Fediverse is a network, much like email. So you can register with our instance (website) then you can communicated with everyone in the fediverse.

Our platform is based on Friendica with a custom skin (dark/light and different colors) to make things more modern and simple.

Here are the main advantages:

- it is trade-free (thus you do not have to trade your data, attention - ads -, currency, and so forth); it is purely free
- uncensored (your posts and thoughts are yours, so it is your responsibility for what you post)
- ability to block anyone and delete posts/comments
- it connects with different federated platforms such as peertube, mastodon, pixelfed and so forth (these are blog/video/image platforms)
- you can create big posts (no limitations) + format the text and add inline media
- it supports markdown
- you can follow any RSS source (think about your favorite website, you can simply follow that)
- it can connect with Twitter so you can auto and cross post to your Twitter account or follow Twitter accounts and interact with them
- auto discovery of contacts based on your profile
- several timelines (chronological, based on your activity, or even a global timeline of the fediverse)
- works with Mastodon's API so any Mastodon APP also works with our Friendica
- and more

Here you can find more details about it - trom.tf/social/

Take advantage of it #tromlive

These days we have spent some time with our friend @Guillaume . He followed TROM for some 10 years now and wanted to meet us: @Tio , @Sasha and @Georgi .

It feels so real to meet humans. Humans who are aware of the world we have discovered through science, and the stupidity and cruelty of our society. You can have real and important discussions with such people. We are very happy to have met him and we will keep in close touch. He also helps TROM financially via monthly donations. Many thanks!

Tomorrow the work on TROM II documentary will be resumed and in a month or two, we should either finish it or pause the work until we get more funds to continue it. We will keep everyone posted via our Friendica. If you see this message somewhere else tthan Friendica (and you can't even see the awesome photo with us :) ) then please understand that we auto post on Facebook and the like, but our main social platform is the decentralized Friendica at social.trom.tf/profile/trom - anyone can join the many millions of people there!

No. They are an independent project/organization. We were contacted by the people behind the project and they seem to be inspired by our TROM project. We have told them that using the TROM label will create confusion making people think that this is a TROM project. But is up to them and others how they approach such things.

For the first time in many years, our Patreon monthly donations have dropped under 200 dollars a month. This is of course not sustainable for TROM. Unfortunately the financial support for TROM and all of its projects has dropped so much that we cannot continue to rely on it. Of course, every donation counts in a way or another, but we will need to find other ways to support this project. We have a ton of tools, a new big documentary coming out, and more books in the pipeline. But since all that we do is trade-free, we have no place in this society so we rely 100% on the kindness of others to support us.

Unfortunately this has become impossible over the past 2 or so years. But we do not know what the solution can be. Asking for support is perhaps the only power we have right now.

Our materials and tools will always be trade-free, or will not be at all. It is a cruel world we live in, where humans have no chances of doing anything good, unless they trade that. And that makes it not-so-good.

If there are still people out there who see the value of TROM, here's where you can help us financially tromsite.com/donate/ . And to those that keep on donating to us and have in the past, we can only say that the project exists thanks to them. #tromlive

Climate change is not the problem. It is one of...

We have the tools to save the planet from climate change. Politics is getting in the way, new IPCC report says link.trom.tf/nA_xADrt

Yeah well....climate change, a problem created by? Trade of course. The fact that humans are forced and incentivized to trade at all costs. Else they can die in this system. This awful incentive creates huge consumption needs. Thus making humans create new phones every week, same ones, but different styles. Millions of cars each year - same cars, different colors. All kinds of useless shit for the sake of trading this for that.

Now to make all of this shit humans need to use energy. And a cheap way is to grab the dead biological matter from the earth's crust, and burn it. And they are pretty good at that. And that puts lots of unwanted gasses (molecules) into the atmosphere. Not to mention the forests that are cut, the biodiversity loss, the waste that is created for the sake of making more shit to be able to trade it.

Of course humans now have the means to use renewable energies instead of dead animals and plants, so they won't put those bad molecules into the air. But for one big companies (clusters of humans) depend on trading the dead biomass and they are quite powerful. You can't simply push them aside. Same is for the jobs that are created because of this industry and so forth. Second, even if we are to do it right now, there will be a huge issue in terms of other sorts of pollution (hello batteries!) that come as a cost for our insane consuming society, due to its trade nature.

Now...this is never going to be solved even if it is solved. The immense plastic pollution, nukes and the possibility of a WW3, the biodiversity loss, the threat of an asteroid hitting Earth and humans not being even remotely prepared for that; the forever chemicals and so much pollution and waste....these are growing issues that will dwarf the climate change problem in the future.

Wake up humans! You need to realize that it is the structure of your society that's at fault. The fact that you, humans, still think that everyone on your planet has to trade even for being allowed to live on this planet. You have transformed your own kind into reckless and mindless monsters that all they want is to trade this for that.

And no renewable energies will change the nature of this game. To think that renewable energies are going to fix these massive and global issues, is like asking a rapist to use condoms next time he rapes someone. #tromlive

Roma

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres did not mince words in a news conference Monday morning, calling this latest report a “litany of broken climate promises” and a “file of shame cataloging the empty pledges” that have put the planet on a “fast track to climate disaster.” He accused some government and business leaders of “lying” as they say one thing, but do another when it comes to meeting climate goals.

Another consequence of the trade-based society - non-stop gaslighting and lies. The Profit always prevails. The same way huge arms exporters continue to sell the weaponry to other countries until they "suddenly" start a war or a terror, the most pollute-high companies will continue to trade and to destroy our environment until the situation reaches all the extreme limits and some kind of catastrophy really occurs.

It is your fault!!

By Tio.

Yesterday my family got 2.200 Euros withdrew from their bank account. By some "name". Search online, go to the bank, and find out it is the government. Or at least a gov institution. The bank sends you home because they can't tell you why that is. You are home, confused. What to do? Ask around....or ask a lawyer. Ok, fine, ask a lawyer. They charge you. They say the money was withdrew because of a fine that likely you didn't pay in time.

What?!

Go to another gov institution where the lawyer sends you. They say: "Yeah, you got 2 speed tickets last year and you did not pay in time!". But my family did not receive any notification....

Go to the police, dig deeper by yourself. Find out that when we bought our car, years ago, they failed to add an address to the car. By "they" I mean the authorities in charge of that. So when the police caught us "breaking" the law, via automated radars a year ago, they looked for the plate number then they found out the name of the owner of the car (my father), and associated that name with the address my father had on its Spanish identity card (he is a resident here in Spain). Documents that were made 15 years ago. So they sent the notifications to that old address....We live in a tourist town where it is almost impossible to rent a place, so we had to move 4 or so times for all sorts of reasons. For the past 10 years we have the same address tho. Same address that we had when we bought the car...

Also, taxes and all that for the car, come to our current address. But not the fine it seems....Weird and infuriating.

So yeah, the system failed to let us known that we need to pay a fine, and since we "delayed" a year with the payment, they decided to directly charge my father's bank account. With over 2.200 Euros. On top of the fines, they fined him for not having an address associated with the car....that was the reason why we did not get any notification about the fine in the first place, and is something that the institution doing the papers when we bought the car was responsible for.

In all, us as human beings, were fined 2.200 Euros, more than we could save in months and months, for the simple fact that the system made an error and could not notify us of a fine we got a year ago.

And that's representative of this society we live in. The fault is always on the individuals. Put the blame on them! And this way the system seems like it is working, because every system's failure, is in fact seen as the individual's failure.

And to do justice for yourself.... how can you do it? Well...hire another human called a "lawyer". And good luck if you are poor because you won't be able to hire anyone. "Justice" comes at a price in this trade system. A human life comes at a cost. Everything has a price, but no value.

Alien: But why did they punish (fine) you in the first place?
Human: Probably because they want to make me drive more carefully....keep the roads safer!?
Alien: So they hope that punishing you will stop you from speeding up?
Human: Probably...although I am sure I will forget about this in the future + when I am stressed and not paying attention....I do not think this can work in the long run....
Alien: Hold on! If they want to make transportation safer why not create a safe public transport system? Allowing everyone to have and drive a car, and buy more and more every year, to pollute, to consume, to drive for hours and hours, to waste....this is insanity squared.

.....

And it is....it is insane. We will never ever change anything in this society if we do not see where the problems come from. To beat and punish people for the "bad" behaviors that they exhibit, when these behaviors come from the environment, is as pointless as trying to stop the clouds from raining. The success is almost nonexistent.

If we want less problems, we need to fix the society. Not to punish anyone. To the contrary, we have to help people. Take the above situation, none of us wanted to do anything bad. And yet we are slapped very hard by the society. What is the outcome of that? If you take 2k Euros form my bank account, especially when it was not my fault for such a sum of money, then you make me poor and prone to steal and cheat. Can't you see that!?

I struggle to push saner thoughts via TROM, but the society is at war with me. And with anyone else that refuses to, or cannot trade. Because trade is the blood of this society keeping it alive and insane.

If you want to support TROM and the tens of projects that we have, and help me keep a voice in this madness, please see tromsite.com/donate/

I need to remind myself quite often that this trade based society is the enemy. Trade is the enemy. Not people. I am at war with this society, not by choice, but by not having one. #tromlive

>On April 21, 2007, the Chilean duo of Gonzalo Bravo and Eduardo Canales drove their modified Suzuki Samurai (SJ413) past the previous record set by a Jeep at 6,688 meters, setting a new record for the highest altitude attained by a four-wheeled vehicle.

>In addition to wheel, tire, and suspension changes, the Samurai packed a supercharged G16A 4-cylinder underhood. It was the third attempt for the pair, who encountered weather difficulties the first time and an engine fire the second time. Repairs were made, and on the third try they successfully reached the objective. One of the things the previous record holders, Matthias Jeschke’s team, did when they arrived at their high point, using a Jeep Wrangler, was to leave a sign that read, “Jeep Parking Only: All others don’t make it up here anyway.” In a cheeky move, Bravo and Canales came down the volcano with a little extra souvenir that was lying on the ground after the strong winds.

This Record was duly Certified by the Guinness World Record on July 2007.

Instead of giving fines to people who drive over the speed limits, a saner society will make the transport system safer in the first place. Easy. Smart. Useful. Sane.

This idea of punishing humans in order to change their behavior is both primitive and inefficient. Not to mention inhumane.

That's how we should approach things: help people and design a society that is safe, non-polluting, caring for the inhabitants and the environment. #tromlive

We now have our own instance of Yacy. Yacy is a proper peer to peer search engine. You see, there are only a few search engines out there, maybe less than 10, and google dominates them all. Only google, microsoft, and a few others, can crawl the internet and provide relevant search results. They are giants and have big and fluffy servers.

We already provide a trade-free search engine at search.trom.tf - what this does is to use google and the like, to search whatever you want, and remove the trackers and ads, so you can see the results in a trade-free manner. But of course we rely 100% on other search engines. Not anymore!

With Yacy our server does its own indexing. It searchers on websites by itself. Thus decoupling it from any other search engine. It communicates with other Yacy servers/peers so together we can build a huge and decentralized search engine. But Yacy on its own is still limited. There are trillions and trillions of webpages out there. Ours will be able to index millions. This is why we have integrated it with search.trom.tf. And so, now when you search on search.trom.tf you'll also get results from our own search engine, Yacy.

The great part about is is that we are prioritizing the indexing of relevant websites, from tromsite.com to videoneat.com or directory.trade-free.org, or sources from tromnews.com. So that the first results will be a LOT more relevant.

Searching for TROM on our search engine:

vs google:

Here are more examples."the blue planet documentary" can be found in the first results on our search engine - like you can watch it from videoneat.com or docuwiki.org.

Of course not at all on google:

And so on. We are adding more relevant sources right now.

search.trom.tf/ is a very powerful search engine. We use it daily. Take advantage of that!

And please support us financially if you can tromsite.com/donate/ - so that we keep these projects alive and relevant. #tromlive

TROM

Your text is 1.5TB in size I think. Calm down a bit. It is not 1.4TB are you insane? The 1080p file is 1.4GB. That's totally different and totally normal for a full HD video of 2 hours long. We do not have 480p resolutions for our video hosting because we lack money for more disk storage. If the thousands of videos that are hosted there will be converted in yet another resolution we would need a lot more disksapce. Feel free to donate to TROM so we can enable that.

TROMjaro 2022.03.15

The usual system updates plus:

Fix QT apps not starting anymore


Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.2) with this library (5.15.3)

This is the error. To fix it simply go to Add/Remove Software, click the top right gear icon and refresh the database. After that reinstall the package qt5-styleplugins. Search for it, click it, then click reinstall. Should fix it.

Mate-HUD: not upgrading!


Recently the people behind mate-HUD, the HUD we use for TROMjaro, pushed an update that seems to force an internal theme to be used. This theme is not that good at all, and makes it less functional. See more here github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-hu…

We decided to not update it for now, until we can fix this ourselves. So we recommend you do not upgrade it from the AUR.

Grab the iso from here.

notes.trom.tf will be removed from out TROM.tf services. It is already removed from the front page but we will keep it alive for at least a few more months in case people are still using it. Why the removal?

1. This is an open source project by some people who are also making money out of it. This pushes them to add artificial barriers. Trade, as you know, creates these situations. In order to properly use this Notes app one has to set it up manually. It used to be a simple 2-3 steps process. But now, in order to add all of their "premium" yet open source extensions, so you can access them for free (basically in order to use this app properly) one has to do some 15-20 steps to set it all up. They made it more difficult for no reasons other than, perhaps, trading your currency to them in order to "unlock" all of these features.

Basically this app became littered with "buy this, buy that" buttons, and we cannot allow such perversions on TROM.tf.

2. We think that it is best to keep your notes locally and not rely on any server. Imagine if that server does not work anymore, and you don't have access to your notes. Here you can find a lot of trade-free note taking applications tromjaro.com/apps/ - We especially recommend Zettlr.

That being said, if you use notes.trom.tf please save your notes to another app. #tromlive
