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 😊

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.

@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.

I use "streaming" to listen to our local, all-music, public radio station. No algorithm, just a playlist curated by knowledgeable, local people and presented by knowledgeable and engaging, live local people. I stream for convenience since my FM radios don't do Bluetooth earbuds.
WRCJ 90.9 FM/HD1 Detroit
14 hours of classical music during the day, 10 hours of jazz at nightWell worth donating to.

@elena @vkc My disappointment with streaming has grown over the years. Recently I decided to limit the streaming and get back to physical media. It felt really anachronistic to walk with a new blu ray player out of an electronic store. I am aquring used and new CDs, Blu Rays both HD and 4k. The collection is growing. I might at some point consider storing it on a hard drive. I find it pleasing to listen to whole album from a CD, the ceremony of selecting a CD and putting it in the player.

@christopher yes consuming « physical » media is amazing. I love the intentionality of it, like Veronica so eloquently says.
I’d love to get into vynils but we don’t have the space in our small city apartment (already overflowing with LEGO)… my father in law has a record player… so maybe there (we go visit every week)

@vkc thank you Veronica! 💛 Your video was really outstanding - you spoke so eloquently about this important issue. I’m basically sending it to everyone I know.
And thank you for the kind offer about Jellyfin. I have already installed it via #YunoHost (which makes self-hosting so easy for us non devs). Now it’s just a matter of adding media to my library (I was away for 2 weeks because of French school holidays, so I’m excited to set it up today).
Thank you for all you do and keep up the incredible work! ✨💫
