Dear Fedi friends,
If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch @vkc's latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."
๐โ: https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAoe1SfrDCAUrni
It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and should be shown in media literacy and digital literacy classes everywhere. Actually, everyone should watch it (I'm about to send it to my family and friends).
My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):
"I feel like we owe it to ourselves and to those who follow us to try and break free of algorithms, which tell us what we should like, who we should believe, and how we should feel about it.
It may sound melodramatic and maybe it is, but I see the increased dependence on algorithmically-driven entertainment as a symptom of that larger problem: uber-convenience that separates us from our critical thinking.
We're learning to abandon reason for small decisions, and wouldn't you know it, now it's easier to ignore reasons for the larger ones.
I'm not here to tell you what to think. I was raised in a "mind-your-own-damn-business" household and that's where my head is at. But I do want to implore all of us to think critically about how streaming media, autoplay, and the algorithm are impacting us."
I'm super proud to be a backer of her Patreon and I cannot thank her enough for this incredible video... which comes at the perfect time, as I was already planning to set up #Jellyfin next week.

this is probably my favorite video of Veronica's - even if it's not technically a tutorial. I have already learned so much from her. She speaks so eloquently about the erosion of critical thinking brought forward by algorithmic media.
I was already super motivated to set up Jellyfin... now I'm checking out websites about garage sales in my area, so I can enlarge my music and DVD collection ๐โ

@DavyJones the title is subject to misunderstanding. if you watch the video you'll soon understand that she's advocating for self-hosted media streaming to escape the algorithm... think: Netflix, Spotify, HBO Max, etc.

Carissimo, anch'io ho notato un calo nelle donazioni, ma credo e spero sia solo un momento, so che la loro situazione รจ ancora (purtroppo) terribile.
Domani รจ il compleanno di Mohammed Shobair, il ragazzo che seguo da un po' di tempo, farรฒ una donazione e gli manderรฒ un bel biglietto di auguri che ho giร preparato piรน un video di speranza.
Se ognuno di noi si facesse carico di una famiglia sarebbe una cosa bellissima.
Ti apprezzo, hai tutto il mio rispetto. E ti abbraccio anche ๐ซ

75 anni dalla morte di #GeorgeBernardShaw e 100 da quando vinse il Nobel della letteratura. Di lui ho un ricordo apocrifo legato ad un varietร #TV anni 80 intitolato "GB Show" con protagonista #GinoBramieri. E ovviamente lo conosco come aforista secondo solo ad Oscar Wilde. Ma considerando che en passant vinse pure un #Oscar alla miglior sceneggiatura non originale per "Pigmalione", questo รจ un #film tratto dallo stesso testo My Fair Lady - https://streaming-community.io/titles/2921-guarda-my-fair-lady/watching.html

@KevinMarks @jwildeboer I'll be frank: the `summary` property is absolutely essential to having a general-purpose AS2 vocabulary; it's a fallback text representation for objects that don't have a user-assigned title (`name`).

Acquerello su carta
Ariccia (RM) ItalyUn microscopico acquerello realizzato velocemente con stilografica e colori.
Ariccia vista dal ponte omonimo. Sulla sinistra il palazzo, sulla destra il complesso delle chiese. Un bel luogo per acquerelli di strada.

@KevinMarks @jwildeboer We are digging ourselves out of that hole, thankfully. For non-Note objects, Mastodon now treats the `summary` like a summary. For Note objects, there's a plan to develop a dedicated content warning property. I think it's fair to say that a summary on a 1-paragraph text is rarely needed, so in practice it should not be blocking progress in AP.
