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."
🔗: 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 😊

@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.

Another moss photo. The clouds were so low that day that it was as dark as evening after noon. It was pleasant in the forest, even though it was wet. But it was impossible to take photos. I decided to help things along a little and turned on the LED on my camera. The moss grows on the roots of a tree that was uprooted by the wind, so massive that the roots reach above my head.
Everything is constantly changing in the floodplain forest.

@Morrocher comprendo il fatto della difficoltà sul rimanere aggiornati visto il contesto ampio, ma c'è proprio un buco informativo sull' Africa, e come ho scritto, principalmente educativo/culturale che secondo me fa in modo di averci portato a questo punto.
