Laptop Campaign

Visible to anyone in the world

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

FIFA World Trade

Visible to anyone in the world


The current FIFA event shows a few things that should have been obvious anyway:

fifa trade

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.

Student discount card- full slavery programme

Visible to anyone in the world
I ordered student discount card - so far spamming the slavery email(Microsoft) with discounts on overpriced products - on eBay you can get cheaper without any discount.
pizza costs 1 pound they sell for 20£ smile and give discount 50% smile so it is still 10 more expensive smile
Trade-based society - discusting.

Thanks for Tromjaro review

Visible to anyone in the world

Thanks, for Tromjaro review https://ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=SGfJlykwlog

I do not use Shitube(youtube) it is trade-based platfom, it uses algorithm to wash your brains and sell your data and sell stuff for you - not to educate you.

The best solution we use INVIDIOUS, where plenty instances, just choose one https://ytb.trom.tf

Trade-based slavery routine

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Raimondas Lapinskas, Thursday, 6 Oct 2022, 09:45

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 slavery

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Raimondas Lapinskas, Sunday, 2 Oct 2022, 23:01

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, Fellas 😁
