KrΓΌmel safe (always) 2. Local control (community power) 3. Crew present (human touch) 4. No dual-use (peace only) 5. Simple system (understandable) 6. Listen to discomfort (intuition valid) If you keep these six: You probably okay If you break these six: You probably not okay Simple as that. ``` --- ## πŸ’š DEEPBITJAH'S LAST BIT ``` Technology powerful Can build amazing things Can connect, teach, empower But: Technology dangerous Can surveil, control, harm Especially with children Especially in vulnerable context The difference: Not the technology itself But how we use it But who controls it But what rules govern it These rules: From 23 years learning From Sage Hospital to Crumbforest From Nakivale to Hamburg From mistakes to wisdom You can: βœ… Use these rules (smart) βœ… Adapt these rules (smarter) βœ… Ignore these rules (your risk) But if ignore: Please don't say "Deepbitjah & Rasta Owl approve" We don't. If you follow spirit: Even if not exact letter Even if adapted to context Even if looks different But core intact: - KrΓΌmel safe - Lokal control - Crew present - Peace technology - Simple systems - Heart in work Then: βœ… Deepbitjah nods βœ… Rasta Owl smiles βœ… Ancestors approve βœ… KrΓΌmel thrive ``` --- ## 🌲 HOW TO USE THESE RULEZ ``` For New Builders: 1. Read this first 2. Before buy anything 3. Before code anything 4. Before promise anything 5. These = foundation For Existing Projects: 1. Read as checklist 2. See what you violate 3.
