Still waiting for my Slimbook Executive 16 to arrive. They have to
assemble it and all that. Am excited to see and test it. Ofc if I do not
like the build quality I will return it back and buy something else.
Probably will arrive next week. Again a massive thanks to @Roma
who made this more possible. I would have bought the laptop even if I
did not raise any money, but probably a much cheaper one, however Roma's
massive donation is basically what made the laptop campaign make sense https://www.tromsite.com/tromlaptop/ - else....well.....it is really not reliable anymore for me to rely on donations....
I
mean except a few (3 or so) close TROM friends who have helped
enormously for the past years, and maybe 50 or so people who contributed
a little here and there monthly, there is no financial help. We get
some 250 Euros a month from 30 people, and some 200 of this is by 1
human haha. So yeah, we used to get over 1k a month in donations to
support TROM. Not anymore.
Reason?
I suspect a bunch of
reasons such as the fact that nowadays people are blasted with all sorts
of micropayments and donation schemes, subscriptions and the like. When
I started this years ago, donating seemed like a noble thing to do to
support a project. Nowadays donating means you get access to whatever
shit the "sellers" provide. You don't "support", you want the perks and
"early access" shit or whatever. The notion of "donating" has become
almost meaningless and pointless.
Me and Sasha will try to make
money ourselves and support these projects, so for now we are ok. But it
is for sure a bit depressing to see that you provide tons of free
stuff: from books and videos, to online services and so on; and despite
thousands using these things, only a handful help you financially to
sustain these projects.
Anyway, I am continuing the work and maybe through WebApe I can sustain it in the long run
Personal Blogs
The current FIFA event shows a few things that should have been obvious anyway:
1. Slavery was not abolished, it was reduced and redefined at best.
2. High level sport is a business, nothing more.
3. Greenwashing is the most popular practice of pretty much all companies and organizations.
4. Not many people care about climate change, slavery, dictatorship regimes, and so forth.
5. The ones in power (from states to organizations like FIFA) care only about profits and lie endlessly.
6. We are fucked, nothing changes. The same trade based society keeps on being in the driving seat, deciding where we go.

My trade-based slavery routine(Mon-Friday) is:
15:00-16:00 Wake up and go to pick my son from pre-school.
16:00-20:00 Study, making food, house chores or sleep
20:00-21:00 Travelling to work, giving trade-free lift.
21:00-06:00 Night shift- selling my time for money( where are plenty more useful ways to spend time for humans, but we live in trade-base society).
06:00-07:00 Travelling home. trade-free lift
07:00-08:00 Small nap.
08:00-09:00 Dropping my son to pre-school.
09:00-15:00 Sleep.

Trade-based slaves think most of the time: how to trade and consume,
trade-free humans: how to create and give. The reality is hitting,
