It is 1h 24 minutes long, full HD quality, 2.8GB in size. And I do not know if it is great or not, or confusing at times or boring. Cannot judge anymore. I watched it too many times. At the end of the day, I am not obliged to make this any other way but the way I want to. Whoever likes it, great. Who does not, great. 😀
Anyway, I shall start the final editing for part 2, and that's the hardest of them all because I wanna do some more edits there. But since this part was quite fast to edit, maybe it won't take me longer than a week or so to edit the second part. Will see...

I'm using almost all of the 64GB of RAM 😁. That's a bit extreme but I am doing a lot. The Kdenlive project for the TROM II documentary eats some 30GB already. But why have them if you don't use them? So I am happy I use my new laptop at full potential like I've always done with all of my computers.

I've done most of the hard stuff I wanted to fix for this first part so I expect the rest to be done in just a few days.
Feels great to now simply edit for the sake of improving here and there, and not having to think about how to "create", where the documentary goes, what next.... 😀
I expect part 2 to be more difficult to edit and fix/improve stuff, since it is also the biggest. Then the last part may need a bit of improvement here and there. Anyway, will see. That's my mission now: the final editing!

The problem was that Friendica only provides an ATOM feed while the plugin we use for pulling these feeds and filtering them, only uses RSS. I found https://granary.io https://github.com/snarfed/granary and open source converter so let's see how that works.
I am getting our tromsite.com more and more ready for the documentary release. I want to make it active again and TROMlive was one of those things that kept the website breathing.

Though I found a small bug - if you click on the profile name that says "Tio", " TROM" or "Aaron" then it just brings me to a page that doesn't exist. Not a big issue, but just letting you know.
Here:
Not super bad, but still. So it was better than before.
Now when I asked who is Tio, meaning me, here's what it said:
Oh my jizus-christ! So I am Tio Theodoros Mavridis, I am greek, I created the Zeitgeist Movement and the Zeitgeist Addendum documentary among other things.
This chat is the biggest bullshitter in the world. Can be so confidently wrong. It is astonishing.
This software basically puts words together based on what is statistically more relevant, and many times can create wonderfully written sentences while being full of shit. How can anyone simply trust this bullshitter is beyond me. I can ask it about anything and I would have no clue if it is complete garbage or not.
So, what is this crap useful for except funny poems and lame chitchatting?

I've used my website to rant about things since 2005. Helped to not basically kill myself since I was so angry about this society I tried to do that in highschool. So it does help a lot. That's not to say I rant nonsense. I'll stand behind my rants. It is just the way that I express myself while I rant, that may put people off or look too generalized.
In any case, I did not expect this huge conversation because of this post haha. Stay wise and calm! ;)
Yeah good point, I don't want you to self-sensor yourself just 'cause you have this project TROM, you should keep being you because that's genuine. And BTW I also do rant sometimes, if I start to post more often here then you may see more of it. Lastly, sorry for dragging this conversation along for too long, I just had some things in my head that I wanted to put out there and this seemed like a good chance to do that, it'd be weird if I came to you and randomly started a conversation about movies or ranting, lol 😄

As for @Sasha and @Roma don't fully trust them they are biased 😁. They both like me and I like them back. So we say god things about each other haha.
No but really I want people to have low expectations of this documentary so maybe they get a nice surprise rather than the opposite.

That makes sense, I'll take into account that this is made by one single person and keep my expectations low, plus I'm pretty sure what you're gonna say in this documentary since I'm already familiar with these ideas, so its about how others see and understand these concepts. But still I find it fascinating that you were even able to make such a massive documentary using simple FOSS programs like kdenlive, and unlike the first TROM documentary this one has you all in front of the camera 😃 So maybe I'll learn a bit more about y'all by watching this 🙂

Yes, please don't trust me, frankly I'm easy to impress. And I'm only talking about that small bit I've seen, maybe other parts are just a Rickrolling for 4 hours straight, idk 😆 Anyway I think the topics and stories are told by that documentary is what's so important and I'm sure, knowing @Tio 's mind, they are covered openly and directly and I'm excited to hear them from him and other TROM people too, that's what I'm saying.. 😊

What else?
Maybe the only two useful things would be:
- Coding and technical answers. So things that you can check. I tried using AI to help me push commits to the AUR, and was mostly helpful. Providing command line tips and all that. But since it is at times inaccurate you can also mess things up. On top of this if you use them to create pieces of code can be decent from my tests, but still primitive in many regards.
- Quick unimportant answers. Like recipes, or whatever else you may need that does no have to be that factual.

In particular, I'm thinking of tabletop style role playing games where a Game Master can quickly whip up some background art for a room or other setting. The AI could offer, say, a dozen images and if none of them are satisfactory it's no big deal - just fall back onto the normal role playing technique of no artwork.
There are ethical issues of the raw input data set, but I see this as solvable in a straightforward way - limit input data to public domain images (older art and various public domain photos etc).
It is astonishing that we have a human who publishes materials (not obtained by him, but sent to him) via a public source like Wikileaks, materials that expose the murders and extreme abuse by a tribe, and the tribe is like "Yeah fuck off you criminal let's fuck you up for making these documents public!".
USA is probably the biggest worldwide abuser and killer overall. Yet they want to paint themselves as saints and saviors. And by "they" I mean the few who run that tribe.
Disgusting world.

This week I'll get back to work on TROM II to finish editing all of the parts and release. Let's see how it goes.....

We have an aggressive anti-spam tool for our Peertube. Yet daily we get spambos registering. We have a manual approval system for Friendica, yet it gets overwhelming if I, one admin, need to figure which ones are spambos, which ones are not.
The reason I scream about this trade-based society on a daily basis, is because it breeds most of these bad behaviors we see: from spambots to polluters, awful content to badly made products, waste to corruption....you name it.
So those that are angry about spambots need to understand that they originate from the same core issue as most of our problems in today's society. TRADE!

Comparing AI to parrot is a very good analogy, because that's what an AI does, it tries to mimic human behaviors like chatting, drawing, etc without actually having a proper "understanding" of what its doing.

In other news, I started to unfollow a lot of people on the fediverse because my newsfeed became uninteresting. And I will unfollow a ton more. I only want to follow a few interesting creatures. The more you follow the more of a shitstorm your newsfeed will be. And with friendica I can also follow RSS sources so it would be a shame to ruin my experience here 😁. Thus far it works and my newsfeed is more attractive for me now.
Anyway, probably my next TROM II update will be when I'll be done with the last part.

I want TROM II to be genuine. And stock footage sucks. So yeah, I used only real footage from real events. And that was, and still is, insanely difficult. To cut pieces from hundreds of documentaries is a bit insane....luckily VideoNeat is my friend. I have collected thousands of documentaries there over the past 10+ years. All available for free.
So yeah....a ton of work.
Speaking of TROM II I finished a bit over 1h. Not much left out of the last part. But the end of the documentary should be very good, at least from my perspective. So I want to not rush with that.

You have to understand that this documentary was not scripted, nor did I have an idea about how it will end up. Just some 40 hours of interviews with 5 people over the course of half a year. So I had to put this puzzle together somehow. Hopefully it will make sense.
I am confident that March will be the month I'll finish it all. I say that because even after I finish this last part I need to go through the entire documentary and improve a few bits here and there.

Very interesting. Listen I have another "theory": shocker but every single galaxy we have observed so far is actually our own at different stages. Even when there are a few colliding it is an illusion. 😀 Even more shocking than my Black Balls theory.
No but seriously now, I love when experiments/observations of this kind do not match what scientists expect. Why? Because it is fascinating. The reality may be so different from what we know now. Maybe there was no "big bang" but something else....maybe the theory of galaxy formation is wrong. You know they had to kinda "invent" the "dark matter" to explain how galaxies are held in place. Then "dark energy" to explain why the universe expands at increasing rates...
So yeah, fascinating. Very 😀 - I love the Universe. It is such a wonderful garden full of mysteries.

Curved universe is a fascinating concept, we can never know for sure how the entire universe is shaped like. But in that video he points out that scientists have tried to measure the curvature of our observable universe and with a margin of + or - 0.4% they think that its flat. So considering the fact that we can only observe galaxies inside the observable universe then its very unlikely that we're seeing our own galaxy 🤔

BTW, one question - In the origin of most problems book you go a little deeper than just the trade-free idea and also introduce people to things like the VADOSE acronym, does the documentary have something similar in it or is it purely focused on the trade-free idea alone?
