A five day work week is time theft.
There are more things to do in this life than work.
Leisure time?
Sure.
Is two days enough time for resting and then doing something for leisure?
That's debatable.
But,
There are more things to do in this life than work and play.
Organise.
Uprise.
Protect, heal, grow.
Build.
With the five day work week, we have time to do none of these things — unless they are profitable.
We have been shoehorned into slaving away for the company, the corporation, the governments, the military.
And people will call you lazy if you don't work 5 or even 6 days.
People will laugh at you for wanting extra time for your own life.
Companies will refuse your requests for an extra day off — "obviously!!", you laugh — and if you take the day regardless, you'll be fired, and nobody would be surprised.
Who's taking care of the health of the community?
Who's keeping the governments and corporations in check?
Who's looking after any of the things that don't make money?
NGOs maybe, non-profits maybe. But they need funding, they need support, they need a structure and a system to keep them afloat through difficult times. So they become inherently beholden to their financers. And they will fail if the economic and/or political climate is unfavourable.
Five days is theft of freedom.
Not simply personal freedom, but freedom of self governance, of community, of community health.
They are keeping Us busy & exhausted on purpose.

First, put your mind on the vertex of Collective.
The world, societies, communities, used to have all, most or many people focussed on the collective: community health, social structure, guidance & steering, resources, land management, etc.
Now...
All or most of our attention is focussed elsewhere.
Not focussed — diverted, distracted.
Think of the elders, who perhaps were training and guiding the youth. Now, most elders are whiling away their days distracted by tiktok.
We are in a dearth of attention and, although we're starting to feel the effects, the heaviest consequences won't be seen until it's much too late.
So is any laptop manufacturer ever gonna take the initiative to put all ports on the left edge so that wires don't get in the way of the right handed mouse user? And also produce left handed versions? This can't be that complicated an idea can it
A final draft of a new font "dots n lines" (title WIP) that supports English and NewEng (mine, also title WIP) and will support most Latin derivative alphabets.

Always amazing how many people think they can wrangle me into working hours that I explicitly state I don't work for just $10/hr
Does anyone have a 2FA app that syncs and uses zero trust encryption?
I've heard that Authy is essentially compromised, and I don't like it anyway cos it's hard af to get my keys out. (Also apparently they automatically invalidate keys when you remove them from the app??)
can nostr clients include a notifications-read item in the npub/nsec object? every time I open nostr on a different device, it shows me ALL the notifications since I last used *that device*
proton trials day .. 8? idk
proton drive sync is shite fam
after adding a file to the proton drive folder, it takes a good minute or so before it *starts* uploading...
then opening proton drive on my other computer, it says "last synced X days ago", i.e. the last time that a file was synced.
and...
it STILL saied that after a bunch more minutes
there's NO "sync now" button
there's no way to make it sync sooner
it was maybe 5 minutes before the new files were even listed
this is weird.
Scaffolding.
We, as a species, really gotta stop thinking that learners are stupid.
They — we — can handle anything we have thrown at us. All we need is exposure to a concept, to information, to ideas. The data will enter, we start to process it, and next time we meet it, it'll make more sense.
listen up, if you don't allow politics to influence your choices of products, services, platforms and software, then you are directly supporting your political enemies.
Write for other people to enjoy, attract people who like what you think they like.
Write for yourself to enjoy, attract people who are like you.
OpenVibe suggestion:
If post is longer than char limit for one network, alert, but don't disable posting.
Simple solution: keep the post in the edit field after posting to other networks, allow user to break it up.
Complex: auto-split the post into multiple posts; show an adjustable split marker.
Day 5 of testing Proton Unlimited and there's more problems, and the answer isn't easy to find online — even "clear proton VPN cache" gives Proton's website pages, *none of which* are about the VPN app. (Concerning.)
Anyway, to fix Proton VPN failure, try deleting the app data from this folder.
Standard modern experience:
1. Problem on computer or phone
2. Research how to fix it
3. Finally trawl up some ancient and modern posts discussing it
4. Discover there's no fix because the fundamental architecture of modern tech has not been designed to accommodate various conditions
5. Abandon it.
