Still in bed with google / youtube?
use #Invidious #Privacy #Links
Going backwardƧ FA$$$$$T by using Google & YouTube (without privacy filter sites...)
Using #Google is like being used / abused and mostly about making them more money
Sometime I feel you're going backwardƧ FA$$$$$T using Google & YouTube without privacy filter sites...
I would prefer educating yourself more or improving habits in others as more of the main focus and activity as Google only without actually *improving people / their habits* is surely bad)
Use proven filters / redirects...
e.g. #Invidious for #YouTube
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=bD3JKr8L6Ag
Mastodon users posting for-profit links are against some of the ethos...? [use Invidious more-private links to same pages?]
Mastodon users posting for-profit links are against some of the ethos...?
There are tons of links here and they supply tons of adverts, tracking, ! Problematic no?
Q. Are for-profit links comparable with the Mastodon ideology or am I totally wrong in asking?
We could work more actively inside system to non-profit / free ideology...
- more warning tips by design or education
- better promoting of PeerTube or Invidious even if still using YouTube, can still filter it using Invidious)
Basically not letting Commercialism in (again & again)
+ even not feeding our people and 100,000,000 links to YT !
(or say 13million if there are 13million users per day posting 1 Google YoutTube link x how many clicks each post gets!)
Doing le$$ direct youtube.com links literally save$ the world from the money they gets and use against us- e.g. use:
YouTube advert filter - some alternatives in this post...
@gemlog The YouTube advert filter "Invidious" needs to be updated at the moment so alternatives here in this post in the meantime to try- very simple best first!: 🚀
✔️ Invidious could add this alternative link to their pinned post until it's fixed in spirit of filtering YouTube!
---------------------------------
Also a list of browser extensions below which try do similar ( adverts and bad code from youtube.com direct links) to something better / more private...

Best browser extension is probably LibRedirect extension:

Fediverse or Google - Which more?... CHOOSE LIFE!... ( LE$$ Google? )...
A Fediverse game-changer I believe. Fediver$e (or Fediverse) ?
LE$$ Googl£ link$$$$$
More open source software / FOSS like Invidious
Fediverse or support Google more
What do you think?
Do you choose life? https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=0q27InlH8I0 (music)
Example - Mastodon etc to give option to use Invidious links or educate at least @Gargron
#Invidious #Software #Mastodon #Fediverse
#FreeSchool #Decentralised #Design
#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024 #FLOSS #FOSS #OpenSource
#BetterPractices How can alternative links can be made popular?... boost this if you agree on the example below!
Example #YouTube #Link (below) is filtered by #Invidious software to take out the adverts and junk code...
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=QK8mJJJvaes
so even if links like these are strange to you or others - it is only *at first*... and this is how it works to make the alternative popular and even standard / defacto!
1- you pump out the alternative links personally (not being a hypocrite)
2 - people try it more often from lack of choice
(make *all your links* are invidious)
3- as others catch on from trying it more they find it less strange as they use it and as other they respect use it...
4- then they become a source of links themselves in their own profiles or life (copying and pasting more politically / wanting to be more aligned / showing they care not to pump google / youtube and instead help filter the crap if they have to use BigTech and it's monster money making)
5- and then others try it in the same way and repeat this process to actually continue the wave of education to others also... :)
:) (:
You are more than just a user right?
People will be more curious and then try it, and after trying it even copy links or political show they agree by copying links.
#Boost please!
Time Jump Videos by X secs / X mins ---> Just Add to URL --->
&t=2m22s....
Quick Example / Template URL for your Mastodon links:
1st link = video starting at 30mins 55s (also add thumbnail to Mastodon posts)
https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=fVhBOcUv4QY&t=30m55s
2nd link = redirects to other Invidious servers (incase 1st video link is down / not working)
https://redirect.invidious.io/fVhBOcUv4QY&t=30m55s
----------------------
More explained below
----------------------
For videos to starting exactly at 2mins 22s then add to URL:
&t=2m22s
Also works in seconds
&t=142s
Both ways gets you exact timing!
*** 1st way is more human readable / easier human input ***
Example recently:
https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=fVhBOcUv4QY&t=1855s <--- long way around until I found the shorter way below!
https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=fVhBOcUv4QY&t=30m55s
Starts video from 31mins55secs Just multiply required minutes by 60secs
---> or just add ---> &t=30m55s :)
WORKS FOR INVIDIOUS VIDEO LINKS....! BUT RECOMMEND ALWAYS ADDED 2ND LINK FOR REDIRECTION (in the case first link doesn't load so user can access all servers) + TIME JUMP still:
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=fVhBOcUv4QY&t=30m55s
Happy Time-Jumping.
The Future Jumps a lot more with FreeSchool

HARD not to watch videos endlessly (am I right?).... AND THEN saving the videos!!... everything is so worth keeping... BOOST if I'm right!...
So hard not to watch and save - even for great education as videos... and more 'safer' ways of watching Google/Youtube videos is possible via Invidious
( https://invidious.io/ ) ... but still I have to be careful not to over-watch and decide what my real plan is! (which takes a while and needs time to reshape and reform it!)
So I do appreciate there is a better way of watching but still the consumption and addiction maybe is the same ( sitting and clicking from one to another video ) even for learning I'm aware it's too much even for my unending appetite! I know a lot of it already or the source of trouble (which is what I want to do live/living it/lovingly do and not watch/stay static/watch screen all the time/more computers).
The interface makes it so easy to never-ending jump around (in YouTube / Invidious.io) ... so I'm trying to move on as much as possible with finding other things to do for tangible change... (it's not easy let me know if you find something)
MY MAIN POINT:
IT'S DIFFICULT NOT TO CLICK AND NOT TO SAVE MORE AND MORE...
BOOST IF YOU AGREE!
SUB-POINTS:
- not the 'all-you-can-eat' American servers
- not the 'all-you-can-eat' content I have seen or heard already
- not using from BigTech or even smallTech using mass hardware and energy...
- not encouraging others / already enough... about 1 day of video uploaded and added to YoutTube every hour :/ - that's 576hrs of vid per day... 24days of content in 1day :/
YES I appreciate something is there for at least some damage limitation,
but as a habit no (I want change and my wants to be served in life).
If you agree boost me for that (even if you want to continue watching it's your choice to be conscious while clicking!)...
From the energy and infrastructure point of view it's all a lot of war (even without current situation as a theme - it's always been #energy, #heat, #hardware manufacturing, smoke, replacing, hardware failure, #social paralysis, money in #BigTech for everyday people who maybe don't like U$A based stuff but still invite it. Just to many things that make it too easy and easy to say " ENOUGH! ")

@invidious
I've probably encouraged you to look now by putting links but also boost me if you couldn't resist the click to show that it's difficult when you get a link right?
BOOST IF YOU AGREE
ABOUT YOUR OWN LIFE AND TRYING NOT TO GET SUCKED INTO JUST WATCHING!!
It's about opening / changing minds...
Growing each other like healthier biology & plants.
FreeSchool = Learning / Respecting / Loving / Teaching ourselves like what your parents didn't tell you (the truth / reality) and then walking through it together, warts and all.
Yu can build your mind better.
Set your notification bell 🔔 for me (after follow is accepted) and do it as you go along.... even with any disagreement. Can't stop the first bad thing you see...
Logic, Consent and Emotional Intelligence to use on ourselves with understanding and not just manipulate people in cold world and typical ways.
This takes time... do it "as you go".
All is about progressing our mindset especially against bastards and short-cutters (this includes dev's that don't care) so that the underlying mindwork (and even love between the people) is there and not dangerously sold out / using underlying cold system, with cold people, who have near-0 people skills and only maintain a nicer looking reality which in practise shit on people on the while.
Serving anyone who wants to explore, develop themself and others. We have to improve communication (nothing can last without that). Without comms it's more nearly towards fascism / ultimatums / rug pulls / constant "oh gee it happened again, let is not do anything about it".
Rebuilding things like the mind again is hard but a component check is necessary and one gets better as time goes on (not the opposite in using quick-fixes that undo us over time).
========================
THANKS FOR THINKING ABOUT LEARNING PEACE / LOVE!
========================
Biggest help as small example of what I mean on the Fediverse which you can do now is:
1/ change your Google YouTube links to redirected links to eliminate the bad code and filter out the adverts!
https://redirect.invidious.io/
2/ follow me (take the best of it)
3/ Use non-google search https://www.searx.org/
THANKS FOR HELPING OUT!
We need to use Fediverse / Mastodon etc without direct links to BigTech sites so they get less revenue from us here clicking Fedi links and supplying data to them / tracking us remotely... so not YouTube direct links but Redirected links ! 🔗 ====> https://redirect.invidious.io/
(it's YouTube without the tracking + ads!)
I can help add #bestpractices and inspire what is best from what I know and have seen... If not UNFOLLOW (it's ok but do stick with one or two people more daily).
The participation of people is needed, else we give power away to others that do not care or care much less than we do for people around us directly or from distance.
#FreeSchool #Answers = Friendship as a Solution
On a basic level I would like to make friends because I think this is the way to solving everything eventually which the many can do, and at the same time solves everything else (solving without friendship or just donating isn't always good).
That's all for now. It's boring alone. Let's live this together!
See my posts + media section: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
Interact / Send a message! Life is about healthy communication and finding out why things don't work and fixing it!
