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...

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... :)
:) :YoshiHappy: (:
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.

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! ")

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?

#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...
