I think on the 30st this month I will do a long livestream for TROM to explain some stuff about the future of this project, my plans, etc.. And to try and get more people to join our 200 for TROM if possible - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

I will announce the exact hour these days. ;)

@PeerTube we have released our documentary exclusively on Peertube and only there, in June. It is 5 hours long, 4 parts, and we worked 3 years to make it. Here it is https://videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrWawHkggKi7Wz

Please consider adding it to your https://joinpeertube.org/#find-peertube-videos website as a showcase of original Peertube releases if you think it is worth it. We have it subtitled in a few languages already and it is basically about why the bad things that happen in the world (where do they originate from), but also about how we could maybe change that. It is about open source, volunteers, and overall treating people as humans and helping them. To help each other.

Please consider it and maybe our instance too - https://videos.trom.tf - dedicated to science/technology/activism.

From now on, and for the next few weeks, I will work on adding a lot more apps to our TROMjaro APPS library https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ - lots of cool apps 😀. But takes some time because for most of them I am designing an icon that will be part of the Zafiro icon theme pack (so that we contribute to this open source icon pack - we already made hundreds of apps so far), but I also need to test more these apps, make screenshot for them and all that.

It is more work than you may think.

Consider a donation if you can, to support all of the work we are doing for TROM - https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Thanks! #tromstuff





The latest FreeTube release is amazing! https://freetubeapp.io/ - Now all works perfectly fine even with a local API so no need for 3rd party like Invidious. Now you have the option to replace the clickbait titles with community generated titles so that you know wtf a video is about.

You can replace the thumbnails too and also skip all sponsored and BS parts of a video.

If you wanna watch Youtube and stay sane and enjoy it, FreeTube is absolutely amazing. Get to see how a trade-free youtube can look like.

TROMjaro 12.08.2023 (big update, many changes) https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-12-08-2023-big-update-many-changes/183

If people think that TROMjaro is "just another distro" then they don't know what they are talking about. Here's a sample of what we pushed recently to make the desktop experience better than most "distros" that I know, perhaps there is none that deals with theming and HiDPI, and fonts, and consistency and more in a better way than TROMjaro.

You know I watched one of the latest videos from @Nick @ The Linux Experiment where he talks about theming the Flatpaks. So complicated for the average user. Guess what!? We do it better and automatically, and we also sync GTK with QT, and fonts, and icons. If only more people would take a serious look at TROMjaro and by all means use the changes we made for your distro!

Give TROMjaro a try ;)

Tomorrow we will release a cool new TROMjaro ISO 😀 - if I team with @Rokosun and @Roma we create cool shit 😀 - you'll see.

Also, am working on the ZDay presentation. So far so good. I LOVE the LibreOffice Presentation. So bloody cool. I will send a newsletter about the ZDay event tomorrow or the day after. I was waiting for the organizers to send me the official "promo" for me....but they are busy with personal stuff so I would send a newsletter even without that. It is fine, just that on their website https://www.zeitgeistmovement.cz/2023/07/14/zeitgeist-day/ that leads to a FB event for ZDay my name is not listed, so some people may think that it is not confirmed. But it is.

Anyway, all good 😀

The TROM II Documentary is by far the most complex, long lasting, and important project I ever created and maybe I will ever create https://www.tromsite.com/documentaries/trom2/ - 3 years to make. A massive work. And I am so happy with the end result, I feel like I can retire now 😀.

But I will do the opposite and continue to create more stuff.

Anyway, if anyone has any interest in what I do, then I cannot recommend this documentary enough! #tromstuff



Our Teddit instance, like all others, is starting to feel the effect of the Reddit API limitation. It mostly does not work. Our Nitter now works, which is really cool. And Invidious was removed but I may bring it back on another server separate from trom.tf to not impact the IP. I'll wait to see if they find a fix for it, then I'll try it out.

Reddit, Twitter, Youtube....these ad-platforms that do not like when the content created by their users, not themselves, is accessed for free.

It is very likely that the TROM II trailer that we also posted on youtube and facebook was not "promoted" to the users/followers because we used "bad" words in it, such as "fuck" or "climate change", the latter is (from my knowledge) suppressed because of "conspiracy theories" or being a "controversial" topic. But you never know with these networks.

This can never happen on Peertube. At least not for now, and if it will and some instances could auto-block the distribution of some videos based on such keywords, would be a fuckery.

I don't care anymore. I do the things I find important to do, and use the words I want to use. Am not a prostitute to try and "play by the rules of the game". Better reach a few people in the way I want them to see the content, rather than censor and distort the content in order to reach more people.

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (trailer)


We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!

A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.

What are these humans living for?

In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.

Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.
