Quitting YouTube + #Statistics - #IT became the new #TV
Quitting YouTube + #Statistics
It's not just #YouTube but also as other activity using #machines as people aer coding non-stop, educating or whatever.
We can't stop playing with machines it seems and losing warmth of #people while habits get over-used / too heavy.
Information Technology started off good - and was needed - but now has inevitably become #unhealthy also as things move on in to #commercial phases.
And still we're no nearer to making #friendship.
We're occasionally growing #plants mostly but watching TV again irresistibly - some on big screens no different to 50" inch TV screens like a TV on steroid as seen in living room windows while walking past as big as the window itself.
Some of us scoffed at TV being too much of a large object in past but you probably have a larger one now. 📺
What's prompted me to say and do this is also...
1🔴 The @Invidious filter sites (that remove adverts) has been largely suppressed
And so it's also hard to escape code for tracking and adverts in general that the new #TV is with tracking and adverts - which is worse than before and unacceptable.
#Invidious is good and might still be in future but anyway it's about self-moderation and it was feeding existing bad #habits (for me at least).
2🔴 I need to do something more with my life.
Make my own shit, even with stuff already downloaded from the past - of which there is plenty... I admit it's hard and nobody else is around but still...
You have to figure how your own life can be, so saying this aloud helps me and perhaps you.
Instead of only watching others that you will never talk to while absorbing and tons of #Hollywood movies, #adverts and bad #code (even if you don't see it) then we have to probably create friendships to replace this and what surely #online is only going to increase in the bad things.

https://redirect.invidious.io
Music I edit (example + send me link to your chosen track!)
I do edits / subtle remixes of music - mostly to accentuate or hit those parts we love - so not to change it all completely. Simple cuts, volume fades into sections, avoiding repetitions and some wave effects if justified from lacking of transition in original etc.
⬇️ TLDR = MP3 EXAMPLE ⬇️
https://bin.dembased.xyz/theblacklotus-eon-freeschool-edit.mp3
If you want me to edit something please send me youtube link via #Invidious filter (use https://invidious.fdn.fr or any from list at https://redirect.invidious.io )
=============
EXAMPLE BELOW
+ HOW I DID IT
=============
Here's my shortened version of
The Black Lotus - Eon (download expires in 1 week)
https://bin.dembased.xyz/theblacklotus-eon-freeschool-edit.mp3
Original here https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=roASIL7G7XE
(intro is too long for casual play for example + other stuff)
====================
Here's what I did (summary):
====================
1/ It was stereo with one side for some instruments only and I prefer a united central sound so I don't hear less on one side and it's amplified together. so made it mono very easy and now even sound distribution.
2/ Trimmed beginning intro, only serves video mostly and this jumps in for the casual use to give you the 'hit' and rhythm you need every time faster than waiting.
3/ In the middle there's an airplane hit around 1.50 of my version and the volume is very low in original and underrated.
In my audio I made almost a diamond volume shape with higher in and higher out diamond so overall you imagine in a night club that that's the middle of track and you totally lose your mind from that point and have your "closed eyes" moment as the bass hits and piano hits you constantly with it's empty notes until it goes deeper after that with a constant, almost breakbeat, helicopter rhythm.
I love this instrumental.
4/ I put things on loop usually so this track is fairly loopable (the end fades out, and then the start is almost the same). There is is a bit of a volume difference but I forgive this edit so it's start is not too low if played between other music tracks - it means business coming in from first second..... boom... bap... ... boom... bap...bap...
5/ Overall some parts were criminally low or too long and made track shorter (which is usually better for 4+minute stuff)
Other examples of edits are when they have jump in's that are too quick, so flatten them.
What is too brutal I make more harmonious with it's own sound (it sounds cruel to edit someone else's professional retail track BUT as fan you know those 1 or 2 parts that is not their sound or simply what the fans enjoy most),
Using low tech and also some more obvious effects (which can be adjusted if you like later) I re-make for a kind of euphoric all-day track and sometimes fitness "high" feeling to keep you going (works with HIIT High-Intensity Interval Training)...

YouTube + Google Links invading Fediverse!... Is that ok?
Do you understand how links INSIDE FEDIVERSE = tracking / mining / analytical stats for them?
Fediverse is basically offering itself for dinner and cash to #BigTech !! 🥩 🍽️
(less commercial links would be good, *maybe* or https://invidious.io filtered links?)
Picture: Admin and Makers MUST consider Google, else get absorbed directly or through it's users - IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND HAZARDOUS NOT TO FOLLOW THROUGH YOUR OWN NON-PROFIT ETHOS (i.e. Encourage USERS similar open source filtered links or understand linking fediverse = mining, tracking etc)... Right now it's invisible and some will follow because Eugen /

#YouTube finally allowing Low Quality options available again. Duh, save money and energy!
Low res / Low Bandwidth... Saves the planet. And if often not needed 720p HQ defaults - so stupid... (developer and user) and seems they might have implemented remembering the last settings instead of defaulting back to HQ/HD!
Actually that remembering might just be the Invidious version of YouTube (e.g. https://yt.cdaut.de)

#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites #Fediverse towards #Freedom
#FreeSchool is a living personal collection of my gems and people's one-liner summary of works (short CW titles) and longer forms with hashtags and AltText access for pictures (when I remember).
Life should be a story of Love, Care for humans (and then Tech etc as part of that loop, not love for Tech only and just improving machines and not human minds)
A love story towards humans -
Not Capitalism's Love story (below is a great film documentary)
Capitalism - A Love Story
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism_A_Love_Story
A lot to say but I believe mostly "we can solve most of it"... IF ONLY we start and that is by talking! / replying! Getting higher in our own personal understanding and more together is thought to be 'for the way'.
It's our human condition and position in life to suffer alone or together and we cannot be human and then expect not depend on others. That would be to deny our humanity.
Agree? But... Nobody wants to do the homework it seems, and this just feeds ignorance and business (buy and sell of people and things) while not working on understanding / bettering human communication ). Sso unless. you to people's posts or someone else's stuff it's going to get worse (in real life or online).
More extend here otherwise read after link for shorter version...

TRUMP? If people spent a % of time talking to normal people instead of Trump types of hashtags - then we would work on solving things rather than just hating / spinning their shit and then saynig "I don't have time / I'm too busy".
A chat room can be set up - 3 clicks - safe in browser, no install, no account, instant!
#Jitsi = opensource. Ask me for how.
Someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know business tricks. so it's about developing people into better humans of #habits and practices, not just developing Tech. We have everything we need to talk / solve things - you just need more humans in your workflow. The work is about better humans - so when you give them hammers they don't damage the place which what happens when you pay all these people and then complain about them on TV. No more #Hashtag #haters please - just a bit - and better yourself and others. Not your whole life incrementing THEIR STUFF🔁 . . . It's time for our stuff 🔁 whatever you like and love - just cooperate with more humans.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
Audio conversations welcome, feel free to ask for chat link - just 3 clicks and in!.
I use simple chat for browsers using Jitsi (any device - no software install. A basic zoom-style clone, opensource. No google account etc. )
Privacy and Non-corporate minded.
#FreeSchool hashtag for my collected gems and alignments.
Let's chat soon. We need to care about we do daily and others to also care else we are isolated. No other way around it but talk...
Inspired by "Free School" movement in the 60's & 70's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
