The European Unions "RIGHT TO REPAIR" rules which mandates that spare parts be available for washing machines specifically, are a grudging admission that manufacturers were never going to do it voluntarily. #righttorepair

Old people have stolen from the youth, right now the hospital places are being taking up by old people who took the 'get good times' for themselves and replaced them with 'rules and regulations' and other crap like job insecurity, the took stable family and replaced with broken marriages and now insane ideology.

Disappointed that I don't have Fable (Mythos) available for my use today, the US Government requested Anthropic withdraw it, and they did! Everything I think wrong about the world in that one statement. It's like withdrawing medical syringes because some people use them of heroin. #rolysrepublic

A Good Show prepared for @rat and others on Anonradio.net - The Banana Republic at 0000 on April 14, 2023. I wish you all very well.

This rings my bell rather loudly.

The Banana Republic is ready and will air on Friday at 0000, a relaxed easy listen to Roly your benevolent dictator.

Calling all Banana Republic listeners, I’m looking forward to Fridays show, apologies for having to duck out of my show for a farewell event at work. Thank you @rat for indulging me. (and for being my one trustee listener.) see you all at at midnight UTC on Friday.

Hello @rat and other listeners, a fun show today, hopefully I’ll see you at midnight on anonradio.net - The Banana Republic

We spend our lives trying to live longer and eat healthier and then our governments want to send us to war to die. - Linda (my sister)

@rat Hey Rat I’ve got a decent show for you today and everyone else on an anonradio/sdf.org #SDF #anonradio #bananarepublic

Banana Republic is half decent today if you’re interested, plenty of real life chatter and plain old humanity present presented in radio format. ? (midnight) 0000 30 January 2026

Reputable YouTubers need to have an open source registry of content, that is searchable as an alternative to YouTubes search, that provides YT links which can be followed to ensure that YT algorithm does not do shadow banning .

This makes a lot of sense to me as a way to mitigate potential shadow banning, deboosting, or algorithmic suppression.

It would let creators and viewers verify visibility and access content reliably without relying on YouTube's opaque recommendations and search ?

Roly‘s republic a.k.a. the banana republic on a non-radio at midnight on 12 December 2025, which is in about two or three hours from now. I have a half decent show I think you may enjoy it.

A philosophy graduate who can frame a house, wire a solar panel, diagnose a diesel engine, or retrofit a 1970s furnace with modern controls will be worth ten pure academics or middle managers who only know how to schedule Zoom calls and file TPS reports.

DON'T BUY WHAT YOU CAN'T REPAIR is more radical than it sounds. You're telling your kids the world is knowable and malleable, not mysterious and controlled by experts and academics.

I self rate today's episode of the Banana Republic as tarnished silver only on http://anonradio.net at Fridays at 0000 UTC

In my bathtub preparing my show for Friday I hope you can join me, it’s unusual for me to be in the tub this early but I thought I would try and avoid the mosquitoes so if you’re interested it’s the banana republic at 00:00 hours UTC on a Friday on anonradio.net

I watched Mr. Accident starring Yahoo Serious, (on froggyme’s recommendation), it was a lot of fun. I’m glad I watched it.

Enjoyed watching Tron Aries in 3D this afternoon at 3 pm, Sunday, 19 October.

I turned up early and asked for row J seat number 2 because my friend Paul had seat number one anyway it turned out that he and his son were the only other tickets booked at that time for that show.

So in the end there are were only three of us in the cinema.

Back in the day 1960’s movies and TV were the original influencers, peddling aspirational lies. - at its core it was all a scam.

Banana Republic, A Fresh New Show at 0000 on October 10, 2025

Friends if I did everything right there should be a show on 10 October 2025 at 0000 UTC #anonradio #sdf

Having a bath in my outdoor tub it’s a long weekend. It’s steamy hot and gradually through the night I’ll top it up until it reaches the brim and begins to overflow to keep the heat up. Stokesauce is with all his pals at a wedding which is really nice.

apologies for being an unreliable DJ but I really enjoy being here and there will be good shows ahead.

It’s just been one of those odds years although I don’t believe in excuses it’s entirely my fault.

Thanks for being a great SDF community.

“I did what I thought was right.” How many madmen have said it and meant it? - including the covid lockdown fascists.

The word “fascist” comes from the Italian word “fascio,” which means “bundle” or “group.” This derives from the Latin “fascis,” referring to the fasces - a bundle of wooden rods bound together around an axe that was carried by officials in ancient Rome as a symbol of authority and power.

The father plants trees he will never climb and the son climbs trees he did not plant, and somewhere in this sacred exchange lies the mystery of time itself, how a man becomes eternal not by living forever but by teaching another man to die well, and when the son finally understands that his father's silence was not absence but presence, that his father's hands were not empty but full of invisible seeds, then he becomes the father, then he plants the trees ...

They expanded the debt extraction net by convincing society they were making education more accessible, when really they were creating the largest debt slavery system in history while both employers and universities colluded to require degrees for jobs that never needed them before, artificially forcing millions into debt.

Static websites offer relief from WordPress complexity and theme compatibility hell, beside the speed advantage.

Wordpress, It's corporate drama disguised in open source philosophy and I should step away from the whole mess.

WordPress has become increasingly complex and risky to maintain and has served it's purpose well enough, but I'm done being held hostage by complexity. Static site generators are the way forward from simple maintainable markdown. WordPress.org presents itself as "open source" but Automattic control the critical infrastructure, plugin directory, updates.

I can see the heart is in the right place - music education is absolutely vital for homeschoolers and all children. However, as someone passionate about music education, I need to be honest: this piece needs significant strengthening to truly serve your homeschool community.

Anonradio - It’s basically art or ideas that are super experimental, pushing boundaries and challenging norms, like way ahead of their time, or way behind, revisionist). Think weird, bold, and not everyone gets it at first. #anonradio

I want to say that I appreciate your agility and willingness to take these calculated risks.

Went to the Kawana Park run this morning and there was a barrel sauna on a trailer which was free for the morning m. I really should’ve made more use of it but I enjoyed a few minutes before heading over to the coffee shop to spend some time with Friends after the run. I did my worst time ever ….. because I chose to walk to the run and chat with Gundars my friend from Latvia, he told me stories about his Grandad in the Russian army and how he to escaped to Latvia.

@gemlog - you're going to have to please remind me of all the foods you filled the fridge with on your last dinner invitation. Also I think there were several poems you recited and one you wrote yourself I think? I can only find one. - (If you don't mind very much doing so, please).

@gemlog I'm really hoping that you copy or archive your mastodon posts somewhere else before deleting them, a journal perhaps, a website? ... anything?

For instance my old posts go to https://small-cabins.com/toots/

I'm wondering if I should not stop auto deleting my tweets after two weeks or so. Thoughts?

I seem to be loosing treads to conversations I'd like to revisit and continue for instance @gemlog was telling me about filling his daughters fridge with all sorts of food, salmon and fish which I can no longer find.

A fresh 30 minute episode of the Banana Republic today. Wishing you all very pleasant weekend.

@rat ? trying to do less visual and more reading since visual media has so much bloat now that is quicker to simply read.

Truman Capote called Holly a “composite” of women he’d met, not a single person, she was less a literal portrait and more his idealised vision of a certain type, someone chasing freedom but haunted by their past.

Possibly Gloria Vanderbilt, a glamorous heiress with a free spirit, Oona O’Neill, Charlie Chaplin’s wife, known for her beauty and elusive persona and socialites like Babe Paley and Slim Keith, who mixed elegance with complicated personal lives.

The Great Gatsby masks a profound spiritual emptiness, where characters like Tom and Daisy drift through their privileged lives untouched by purpose, while Gatsby’s lavish displays conceal a lonely soul yearning for meaning beyond wealth.

I hope you enjoyed the Banana Republic show today and I’m sorry, I couldn’t be there with you because I was at the beach and did quite a long walk using the day as best I can. (Besides forgetting my MacBook at home.)

A very lazy morning

We began to subscribe to rules that were not our own.

We began to accept new words and names for objects, attitudes and emotions which were completely void of meaning

We began to blend in, to fit in, to avoid conflict and to comply with these new unwritten rules.

… and finally we began to use and include these empty words in valueless arguments, discussions and debates …

… in summary … we were morally and intellectually too poor to pay the cost for free speech.

A fun relaxing read. I was there -Alan Edwards

Modern coffee makers are feature-rich disasters, they break in two years because complexity invites failure.

Let's instead build a future for them and ourselves, weaving roosts, green roofs, bat boxes, and open rafters into our homes and habitats.

This is not a halt to human progress; it merely a reminder that we are caretakers and stewards, not thieves, robbers and takers.

The Genesis story instructs us to tend the earth and its creatures. Yet our urban developments have consumed forests, wetlands, and grasslands, leaving birds, bats, and nature scrambling for shelter.

Still unsatisfied, we persecute them further by embedding deterrents, bird spikes and wires on and in our buildings, not merely usurping their homes but denying refuge and shelter amid Cyclone Alfred.

There is a big difference between safety and revenue generation. If they stop you and warn you about the insurance of wearing a helmet, that would be safety, writing up a fine would be revenue generation. Maybe three warnings and then a ticket might be a middle ground? :)

Here’s one of my small pleasures .

A very Merry Christmas to all the very fine people on #SDF

I’d like to thank you all for the year gone by and for the opportunity to have a virtual third place, a third space separate from home and work.

I like the interesting and varied people that gather here and I encourage you to keep being different and to pursue those interests that are so far flung from the mainstream.

Paradoxically, the same mind that holds such control over the body is also woefully fragile and prone to superstitious thoughts. It fills easily with doubt and is distracted by ancillary details. This is why the tape must always be perfect, the machine silent, the kit spotless. And, if you draw the unlucky Number 13, turn it upside down to coun teract its negative energy.

Lovely swim in the ocean and a very fun day with Catherine joining the Dictator during his musings and meandering.

Thankful for all the good things I enjoy up here on the Sunshine Coast.

@rat @screwtape Thank you so much it was an honest show which I enjoyed doing.

I quite like the way I went about it, perhaps the timeslot will work well after all.

@publius @handyc nothing much to see here, nevertheless, I sent a message of good cheer to the listeners of a non-radio aka anonradio.net and especially to publius who perseveres throughout the storm of power, outages, and feeling rather awful

I love that you can still get a movie ticket at a decent cinema for $12 AUD. I’ll let you know what I think of the movie Ferrari.

Z145A Ryco oil filter should do the trick. It’s so annoying when people overtighten the oil filter and the sump plug.

This is what it looks like at 4:40 AM in the morning if I wake up early to listen to A STEP FUTHER OUT BY @publius

I managed to take these pictures without moving off my butt (the homestead is excluded so this is a 270° picture of the republic)

The dictator of the Roly’s Banana Republic has lawns to mow, fallen trees to cut up (after the summer storms), bonfires to burn, sand piles to level out, a pool to clean, and various other duties like running or riding his bicycle and going to the beach ?️

So instead, in an effort to be productive (and because he doesn’t have any servants) he lights a fire in the middle of summer and stares aimlessly at it.

It feels nice to be on holiday and frivolously waste oodles of time. ?‍☠️⏱️

I rate @snowdusk's last show of 2023 Double Gold ? ? for all the eighties hits and banter.

You can catch it here >>

At Byron Bay, New South Wales, cycling around Suffolk Park and discovered this little library in the middle of the woods.

( ps. this is not my everyday ride, I brought this bike because I can leave it almost anywhere without locking it, and be fairly certain nobody is gonna steal it) ?

If you happen to enjoy Roly's Banana Republic then today's show will be good as shows like this ever get. Join me Sunday the 31st of December 2024 at 0800 UTC here >

@gef Hello Gef I very much enjoyed your most recent show. I love that you front loaded the chatter and learning to the front of the show. sadly I have missed many shows while my outdoor bathroom was out of action due to bureaucracy. I can only hope that this message gets delivered, and if it doesn't I will get in touch some other way. I also enjoyed your comments on Jung’s Theory of Collective Consciousness. I'd love to hear / learn more about this.

@the_rail_life @publius we were riding the Melbourne trams yesterday to Southern Cross Station,

We're back on the Sunshine Coast today. If you are up this way, (Sunny Coast) happy to catch up.

We are down in Bryon Bay, NSQ over New Year to see @stokesauce play at the Railway Hotel. which is famous for live music

I have a good friend Mark who is nuts about trains and has a collection of Yellow Section Cars - sort of like this,

And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress.

From my family to yours: Wishing everyone on @SDF a very Merry Christmas, peace on earth and good will to men. I thank you all for the past year of fun fellowship and entertainment.

From Roly and tribe in the Land of Oz and Banana Republic ?️?️ ✡

BTW: I did read Cry the Beloved County after @publius suggested I did, and very much enjoyed the read. (a year or so ago).

A very fine SERMON from @publius reading Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

>>

And in despair I bowed my head;

"There is no peace on earth," I said;

"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

>>

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"

God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
    

The Wrong shall fail,
    
The Right prevail,


With peace on earth, good-will to men."

Or in other words : He who serves is king

A note for @publius : I listened to ASFO traveling to the beach yesterday and I thought your show was superb. I wonder if shows like these ought to have a much wider audience than #SDF & #anonradio

#phones #surveillance #poverty #techbros

We all know this stuff but it's refreshing to hear it so nicely commented on. - Thanks

I guess it’s time for the dictator to learn how to use a dishwasher #bananarepublic #sdf on Sunday at 0800 UTC

Probably gonna end up doing my show from my “crazy friends” house, I could easily do 10 shows on this fun lady. A pictures worth 1000 words. #BananaRepublic

Good old classic long boards, if you think early 70’s #BSD only these are easier (actually, these are easier than any version of BSD whatsoever.

Just like yours truly, the benevolent dictator and emperor of the Banana Republic

The Banana Republic on Sunday at oh 800 UTC better, still catch it in the archives during the week

Just another day at the beach, enjoying the fun things and life

I live in heaven.

A big shout out to @screwtape, always friendly and sociable and kind.

Such a nice online community at #sdf, hanging out, listening to at @Stokesource show live. There’s still 20 minutes left. #anonradio is amazing.

Hanging out with Catherine, listening to @stokesauce on #anon-radio at the cafe/beach. He’s killing it. ❤️

Here we go.

You can see why I think this is a nice time to do my show, the days is almost over and I can take it easy for the reminder. #BananaRepublic

If you can be there, be there to hear the banana Republic broadcasting from a cafe somewhere

Banana Republic ! Citizens Vagabonds, Pirates, Rebels and Rioters your attendance is requested on Sunday at 0800 UTC, either in COM or later in the archives #anonradio #sdf

Making an effort to eat healthy food

Loving the crazy Indian music @tyn thank you, the old girl got to the beach safely. I’m getting rather strange looks with the music belting out of my chariot.

I’m on the way to the beach about to tune in to @tyn followed by @snowdusk and followed by me. I suggest today’s show will be fun for everyone. It’s 30 minutes of listening at 0000 wont be on com bit at least not until I get to Noosa where I’ll do the show.

Recently I used my Journal entries to write a statement, proving one more the value of regular journaling.

@stokesauce is L I V E on the S T O K E S A U C E Radio Show

Only on http://Anonradio.net at 00z00 UTC on Tuesday

@publius Your Show dated October 31, 2023 was a Cerebral Delight!

Thank you for this challenging thoughtful presentation on "A Step Further Out" #ASFO & The Man and Atom Society.

@publius @tob @tyn @snowdusk @ffog #SDF #Anonradio

Very fine listening - Thank you.

One can only imagine my surprise this evening as I Iay soaking in the tub, ? catching up on previous episodes of ASFO by @publius, by which time I had fully taxed my brain by considering concerns like food and fuel supplies, the rising costs of grain globally and the impact of importing and transporting energy, ⚡️ when I heard my name referenced by @publius who continued to present an excellent and compelling argument explaining modern freedoms and liberty.
