Mother marry jizas christ I finished the 2nd part, the 30+ minutes addition to it. Was a pain in the ass. I am still not 100% happy with it and I will improve it a little bit after all of the parts are done. But yeah 1h 40 minutes in total. I may cut off a few more minutes in the final edit. It is a monster.
But yeah I have to leave it behind. I will try to finish the 3rd part these days. Hopefully won't take me more than 7-10 days.
You know, I also have to "move on" and not try to make it "perfect". It is what it is. I will make more stuff after the documentary will be released. It is not like this IS IT.
Anyway I am happy to leave it behind and move on for now.

Also @kdenlive team should be proud that their software is capable of creating such massive projects. A 4h+ documentary made on #linux using #FOSS programs, wow!

in reply to frdbr 🎥🌳 • •It is based on the book: The Origin of Most Problems . In essence we argue that the world in which we live, from China to USA and anything in between is simply a world based on "trade". A simple and old action that evolved into a huge and damaging monster making us all destroy ourselves and the world we live in.
So, cryptocurrencies, money, ads, data collection, or the bad influence of big social networks, oil companies, billionaires and the like, or climate change, pollution and so forth, are a result of this trade environment. It incentivizes humans to only care about what they are trading and not much else. And we cannot do any significant change unless we understand the system of trade itself and move beyond it.
It is difficult to summarize it that well since it is a huge topic and the book is a thousand pages long.
But the documentary is also more personal, showcasing where we grew up, what influenced us as humans part of this system and culture, and more. We talk about many things, even the fediverse.

in reply to frdbr 🎥🌳 • •I would highly recommend either to watch the documentary or read the book it is based on, as I mentioned in a previous comment. But I can try to summarize really briefly, however this is a big and fluffy subject and needs more than a summary.
My argument is as follows: if you understand "the problem" you'll come up with solutions eventually. In that regards, it is more important to understand what the problem is, rather than having any solutions, since solutions always follow. I give 2 big and different examples in the book: germs and proprietary software.
Germs killed hundreds of millions of humans over thousands of years. Humans tried many theories and methods but with no success. Why? They had no clue that tiny organisms exist and they make people sick. So their "solutions" were not working. As soon as they understood the problem (detected these tiny organisms), they came up with many solutions and we are still creating new as we speak. From washing your hands or boiling the water, to vaccines and all sorts of therapies today.
Same with proprietary software, a

Same with proprietary software, as soon as it was regarded as a problem, people invented this "open source" software model that evolved into many licenses, practices, and types of software today, and eventually started to leaked into the hardware world too.
Now, if I argue that trade is an environment that creates a lot of misery, regardless under what system it is enforced (communism, capitalism, socialism, free markets, communities, you name it) then my "hope" is that we can come up with solutions for it. I have proposed a lot of them, under the umbrella term "trade-free". I would say that we have to create trade-free goods and services to eventually phase out the need for trade. In other words, if we had access to more and more trade-free goods/services, we would not only not need the trade-based ones (buy, inject ads, collect data, etc.) but it allows us to create more of these, like a positive feedback loop, since we will have more free time to engage into these. We showcase how many orgs around the world provide these sort of services already via our directory here. And we provide some too. See tromsite.com/ and tromsite.com/tools/
I think we cannot sit down and propose this or that system, the same way no one sat down and proposed a world of open source software or a world-wide solution for dealing with the germs.
Thus, I propose that we understand why trade is the origin of most problems first, and if we agree, then we can work on all sorts of solutions for this.
