#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.

Just too much...

#Invidious #Filter #App #Anti #Google #Software #OpenSource

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)...

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 /

Mastodon's creator said so -
Educating the masses at least and as standard part of your software... ?

#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)

HD = Headache unless really *needed*

LQ = Less-data Quality !
