BIG VIDEO resolutions KILLING THE PLANET / EATING EARTH ENERGY / MEDIA DATA (VIDEO) AS SUICIDE / ECOCIDE...
ALL PEOPLE CREATING GIGABYTES FOR SHORT VIDEO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
Here's the fat kid list - mostly because they also claim to be "small" in footprint or "free" in a bourgeoisie bloat way for their videos.
It's also free advertising for them in this shit list BECAUSE I ADMIRE THEIR OTHER WORK (NOT THE BLOAT OR LACK OF MOBILE-KIND VUDEO SIZES LIKE 360P- JUST 720P AND ABOVE MOSTLY MISSING LARGEST DEMOGRAPHIC - MOBILES! ! !)...
AND CLAIMING TO WANT TO SAVE THE PLANET YOU FAT FUCKS.
● @aral 's recent1.3Gb file for half an hour chat (my bandwidth us like GTFO)
https://ar.al/2022/02/16/decentralisation-begins-at-decentring-yourself/
Decentralisation begins... [yawn... yah just kill the planet with massive files and backups... nice]
● @tio Another in theory person...
Will revise this fatty bum bum list later...
-------------------------------------------------------
BELOW IS WHAT I SENT THEM LESS CHILDISHLY IN PARTS OVER THE YEARS...
-------------------------------------------------------
[ This post is not for drama. I think we've simply gone too far just to get our message across at increasing file sizes ]
TLDR;
CONSIDER IT ECOCIDE / AN ENERGY SUICIDE if you're anyway killing the planet by adding big files online for little engagement reward.
A kind of bourgeois "save-the-planet" data-killing is happening faster and faster for videos added and own-streaming online.
It's a bad gamble- whether your stuff is ok or not.
Better make sure to gamble the right way and have lower file size (you can still educate with medium-res and even audio versions of vid).
Unless you have really an epic blockbuster ( even a feature film takes less space to up/download then some of your videos) then you're being reckless and rapacious in your consumption.
RULE: "IF NEAR A GIGABYTE, THEN YOU KNOW IT AIN'T RIGHT."
I.E - IF IT'S ALL DESTINED TO BE DEAD DATA (unless really it's worth keeping / not forgetting / stuff is usable to remix elsewhere) THEN KILL / USE THE DATA IN SMALLER WAY;
Yes small is beautiful
Yes trade-free tools is a good way
But you honestly are civilised morons if you accept a GB for 1 low use / small duration video. It is simply too much 8n size... and then × how many vids you have at 1080p+ (which I consider too much or at least with the pyramid of all resolutions) then yes a lot of your stuff is actually overkill and measurably stupid ignorance represented in the Terrabytes and by demographics of your users (we are mobile users - check your dashboard).
Go ahead check some of your own videos and default quality settings (how many and is it on the highest res as default?)
----------------------------------------------------------------
CONSIDER AN AUDIT or AN ACTION
----------------------------------------------------------------
● Why big video at all sometimes?..
----------------------------------------------------------------
BIG SCREEN, BIG PROBLEM...
----------------------------------------------------------------
For those with massive screens, it is not the right logic to expect such data loads per video.
(and the many resolution formats increasingly NOT IN 360p resolution doesnt help at all for those if us on metered bandwidth, mobile networks, even just shared-bandwith in house).
---------------------------------------------------------------
MY USER EXPERIENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------
I load up one of your videos and realise it's 1.3Gb to play it... or not much better at 720p...
With my flat mates previously they would complain... or I wondered why our network is so slow. !!BIG VIDEOS!!
And they had every right to complain if you're slowing down our shit ! - and I shouldn't have to check every video size from those claiming act to save the world or have humble small principles!
● Have you not learned from America's all-you-can-eat fast food joint model?...the false economy of cheap storage abroad..? and not wondered why/how it happens we can do such things for increasingly less worth and meaning? Consumption and habits...
(yes that's you eating there eating the storage space shoving your face in it).
Its just diminishing returns i hope you see with this increased glut of storage and cloud processor usage. Provided by America doesn't help with policies / data handling but I would also say this is glut from any country not just the biggest dominator on the planet to be wary of!
----------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION POINTS - JUST TRY
----------------------------------------------------------------
●Inventory Check all your video sizes
(Do you know the total size of all your videos?) Dare you to say the total to yourself out loud.
●Keep 720p & 360p versions.
Delete all 1080p from online ...
You'll instantly get back *a lot* of GB's of space.
(unless *really fuckin special* <---- really)
● Consider audio-rips of your videos
(especially those chatting-shit / casual talks). Make quick clips of best parts.
We don't need these mostly static faces on video. Add a thumbnail pic of participants or picture on the web page
* IF really needed. *
● Set default playback to low quality - PeerTube etc
...MANY CAN PLAY HQ BUT IT'S WASTED on them with a mobile or laptop right?
Set default to medium or low res and let user see IF THEY EVEN NOTICE!
(User can up res... IF needed... so less packets / trafgic to start)
●Nobody cares or will remember you past a few weeks. Just how it is today.
Those that do remember or need will ask you or will love to use smaller sizes if they have similar ethos of low storage space... UNLESS ITS REALLY FUCKING SPECIAL <--- LET US TELL YOU THAT.
(most don't care or can't as they have their own full disk space already so don't try too much ' oh I can't see the detail of that unimportant thing ' )
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
----------------------------------------------------------------
SAVE THE PLANET - USING LESS SPACE, HEAT, DATA AND BANDWIDTH..
[ALL is up and down bandwidth
》 remember 《 + MULTIPLE BACKUPS
》daily etc = 》OH FUCK. TOO MUCH]
The world doesn't need to carry your weight indefinately and just because Amazon S3 is cheap that's not feeding the right habit either.
This only cheapens your logic to use and cheapen life force / energy itself for consuming the 'cheapness'.

Don't be the fat kids in the picture...
or the bourgeois adult, in real life.
I appreciate you read some of this -
perhaps twice.
#Introduction my blurb
Freedom is also about undoing what has tricked us (put in place before we were born and somewhat enslaved or bound by). Learning regularly helps get your more understanding and rewards morality to get back some sense of meaning since much has been extracted out almost completely as part of pure-profit programmes or generally re-iterating power and control techniques.
The rest to read is just extra. If you hate detail probably this is good for you.
Learning our geniune individuality and respecting it is some of the most essential parts of life!!!!!
------------ EXTRA BITS BELOW ---------
Right now in 2023 I've taken a back seat to the talking to people or giving feedback to everyone, and so given up while not totally given up.
I think education together is a major way.
Some of us speed up and have to wait for others to catch up or not try over-try too hard also to keep the peace often covered up or under the surface.
Free School has been proven over my lifetime as not needing to wait or only believe in others first. DIY = Do It Yourself or at least start... and then the advice or questions come anyway... Start snd Finish fast and people can see better there is progress... often the only thing stopping people in starting anything.
You can interact and ask. We 2 can make best together as free as possible to reach somewhere in thought where alone we might not so quickly.
I mostly create / edit community education audio podcast / music / videos / transcript text etc for good people or other podcasts.
Am offline more than on but still get msgs and still reply here- might take longer than I mention below
I do your audio / film work too for free if it's for the good. I can do it offline which is good.
MORE IF YOU LIKE...
Our place in the world is helped by others.
We enable it for others and some forge ahead anyway.
If you're interested in life this helps! get in touch if you are as I like everything or to talk about it helps the world indirectly and directly!

THE REST IS OPTIONAL OR EXTRA

Words of wisdom (MY WORDS):
Everything is easier when you test it
Everything is easier when you know *how* to test it
Everything is clearer when you give it more time and respect.
Everything is easier when you know what it's for and what it means to others (both how to test / ask and how to respect)...
Everything is easier when you know how... yes so participation with me or others allows you to know things, then it's easier and clearer to make your decision(s).
Humans effect everything much more globally (now that money etc funnels things more than ever) and often it's a copy of people getting coralled into the same bad ways (the Gov template of catching it's fishes) - we need to know the bad / good and apply the right stuff daily so we don't get eaten alive.
I personally help whoever with almost anything mutual, it's your 'job' to enjoy what you like AND explore other things - I just ask and say what I like also.
I also edit other people's audio and video as basic cut and re-arrange them into different order for best bits or the wanted parts / highlights + name or transcribe them (audio to text).

I might ask why you want to follow me so be ready to say (0 engagement I don't understand the point of)
I'm here to make change, yours, mine, others.
What are you here for / Find out here / explore yourself...
MASSIVE FILES KILL THE PLANET!
(EXAMPLE)
Aral's 1.3Gb file for a video (if I'm wrong sorry but I wanted to watch and I was like NO GTFO)
https://ar.al/2022/02/16/decentralisation-begins-at-decentring-yourself/
@pls @aral I used to run my own email server. I did everything I could to make sure my server did all of the SPF and DKIM stuff correctly. I made sure I wasn’t on any public blocklists. I wasn’t spamming. But I discovered that some people would just silently not receive email I sent. Apple mail and Gmail addresses were common examples. There was no appeals process or even acknowledgment that my server was being blocked. So eventually I had to give up and move to a commercial email provider that was big enough that the major mail providers couldn’t just ignore.
@rysiek When in doubt, be kind.
And to make this abundantly clear… regardless of how much you disagree with a person and how much you feel their decisions might be wrong:
- harassment is harassment, and is unacceptable
- calling for harm is calling for harm, and is unacceptable
- pile-ons are pile-ons, and are unacceptable
People who engage in that sort of thing are like locusts. They join a community, destroy it, and move on.
If you care about fedi, push back against that, even if it targets someone you disagree with.

As the mods of tech.lgbt put it: "There is over a decade of precedent that Facebook will not have users' best interests as their guiding principle but rather profit margins, if it joins the Fediverse." (https://tech.lgbt/@mods/110567092695993475) #FediBlockMeta #FediAdmin #meta #project92

➡️ @cryptpad - Online collaborative office suite
➡️ @briar - P2P messaging for activists, journalists etc
➡️ @delta - Encrypted chat system, piggybacks existing email accounts
➡️ @Tutanota - Independent email provider, supports E2EE wherever possible

➡️ @kaidan - XMPP app for KDE
FreeSchool is about Learning / Respecting / Loving / Teaching ourselves as we go along in things (all things), giving each other more Freedom and communication, looping it all back.
Instead of silence and silent underpinnings of fear and risk of working with our selves / our emotions ultimately to really grow ourselves (not profit that te silence helps!)
It's about opening minds. Trying to change my / your habits and other people's once it's presented (yours and my consensual exploration and open mind)...

WHAT CAN YOU DO RIGHT NOW?
=======================-
2 things you can do right now:!
1/ Add alternative links to your usual Google seach engine and YouTube video links by using filters to filter out the adverts and bad code! See below:
> filter YouTube adverts using Invidious.io :
https://redirect.invidious.io/
> filter google / use non-google SearX.org :
https://www.searx.org/
2/ follow me (and take the best of it)
THANKS FOR HELPING OUT!
=======================
For example TRY YouTube without Adverts!! https://redirect.invidious.io
(includes downloading videos!)
=======================
WANT A HEALTHY MIND ?
=======================
People like a healthy body, but what about working on a healthier mind?
Like healthier biology & plants we too can grow each other in better habits and thinking (without being conflictive, reflective is also enough. This includes appreciating our own works more and more (as well as changing out internal brain like a computer operating system a bit - but first accepting people as they are and working from there, and helping where most wanted. Like not banging on about changing OS but talking about it and when those people are ready, help them change OS!
=======================
IMPROVEMENT
=======================
People's improvement with their own consent should be our focus (we have enough computers around us but less love for ourselves AND others). Growing others should be our business (mutual self-interest while minimizing monetizing / Capitalism but not ignoring it exists and we need parts of Capitalism for "growing" people physcially but can advance in the mental sense that people in Captialsm want to subdue). "Free School" for everyone towards "Freedoms".
=======================
NEW GENERATION
=======================
Almot what your parents didn't tell you or missing pieces (the truth / reality) and then walking through it together, warts and all on the Fediverse.
You can re-build your mind as can I. This assumes you don't think you are perfect (nor do I) and have room to grow... right?
=======================
BETTER HABITS
=======================
For example using alternatives to YouTube "Invidious" makes a BIG difference (no adverts / less tracking / less data to Google)...
Try it! https://redirect.invidious.io
Same video ID can be at the end of any video link, e.g:
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=YCN_OFF0tHQ
It's an Open Source ad filter for Google YouTube.
==========================
NOTIFICATIONS / TEST ME OUT
==========================
Set your notification bell 🔔 after your follow request is accepted and as you go this will make sense.
Just the will to grow and even learn to love things a bit more is needed...
We can't stop at the first bad thing or disagreement... so love to learn... grow my / your / our mind
Together we are a Hive Mind / Collective Consciousness if we want it - much like Bees, Ants, Temites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hive_mind
========================
THANKS FOR THINKING ABOUT CHANGE
LEARNING ABOUT PEACE / LOVE / MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE WORLD !
YES, THIS NEEDS A BIT OF BRAVERY / GOING INTO THE UNKNOWN !
========================
FEDIVERSE FOR THE WAY
==========================
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!
The rest in a random post... (mixed bag / longer list). https://qoto.org/@freeschool/112186767286933459
