<p>Dear Fedi friends,</p><p>If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch <span class="h-card"><a href="https://linuxmom.net/@vkc" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vkc</span></a></span>'s latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."</p><p>🔗: <a href="https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAoe1SfrDCAUrni" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAoe1SfrDCAUrni"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAo</span><span class="invisible">e1SfrDCAUrni</span></a></p><p>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).</p><p>My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):</p><p>"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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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."</p><p>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 <a href="/tags/jellyfin/" rel="tag">#Jellyfin</a> next week.</p><p>If you can, join me in supporting Veronica's work here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/VeronicaExplains" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.patreon.com/VeronicaExplains"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.patreon.com/VeronicaExplai</span><span class="invisible">ns</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/digitalliteracy/" rel="tag">#DigitalLiteracy</a> <a href="/tags/bigtech/" rel="tag">#BigTech</a> <a href="/tags/selfhosting/" rel="tag">#SelfHosting</a> <a href="/tags/independence/" rel="tag">#independence</a> <a href="/tags/resist/" rel="tag">#resist</a> <a href="/tags/medialiteracy/" rel="tag">#MediaLiteracy</a></p>
