There is no such thing as a "short attention span" that is happening today. This is a myth. People watch/read whatever they are curious about, and mostly it is simplistic and retarded content, be it in short form like tiktok videos, or nonsense netflix series that are hours long.
So if anyone thinks that the TROM II documentary is "too long" for today's "short attention span", I think their "attention span" needs to enlarge and see that's not the case. If people would be interested in reality, they would watch that documentary even if it was 10 hours long.
Again, people watch TV series that are hundreds of episodes long and are not getting bored by them. Why? That's how they grew up, in a society where these tv series and movies are marketed, while reality is not much. So they learn that those silly shows are way more interesting than what is real.

I am helping with the transcriptions for the TROM II documentary. Finished 47 minutes from part 2. I do them "fine" not as perfect as @Sasha :) . @Rokosun said he could also help. We must finish them all this week so that we give some chances to those who want to translate to do so before the release. Speaking of that the release will be at latest at the end of this month.
I am still impressed by how good Kdenlive did the auto-transcriptions. Impressive. I also tried a bunch of subtitle editors and Kdenlive is far far better. Easy to use. Sane. Quite interesting that specialized subtitling software can be way worse than the subtitling tool of a video editor.
@Rokosun was saying that this is the most indie documentary ever haha. He is right. I filmed it (with the help of Sasha). I edited it alone with FOSS software. I and a few friends are doing the transcriptions. I made the website where it will be published, I setup the Peertube instance that will stream it. What else can I do? :))

A new TROMjaro release is out forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…
We have a little surprise, the integration of @TBlock into the system! We named it Internet Content Blocker, and it is basically an ad/tracker blocker that works system-wide. Super cool and super useful and in line with our trade-free approach.

The last of the awesome people, @Roma has left today. He stayed a bit longer. Such a wonderful guy!
Now I will get back to my routine. I'll try to:
- release a new TROMjaro ISO these days
- make an article about the TROM Meeting (hopefully today)
- work on the transcriptions for the TROM II documentary and have them fully done in a week or less. @Sasha helps with it so much. Lovely creature!
- after all of these are done, work on the sources for the documentary and prepare for the release
Am still tired from the meeting so I feel a bit slow....and rusty :D.

The TROM Meeting is over. I will make a big blog post all about it because it cannot be condensed that easily. I am happy, and tired, and stressed, and honored, and all of these. In the next few days we have to deal with a lot of bullshit in terms of papers for Sasha, and also get some rest, I need to get back on track with the servers and updates and all. Plus a few personal issues we have to manage.
I still plan to release the documentary this month. I hope all will be ok for the release in terms of my personal life so that I can fully enjoy and focus on the release. #tromstuff

47% of all internet traffic came from bots in 2022 securitymagazine.com/articles/…
That's kinda shocking....
I wonder what's the motivation behind these bots? I bet it's not the incentive for humans to trade, and thus consume, and thus want more, and thus aquire more, and thus steal, and thus deceive, and thus create these bots...

It is very likely that the TROM II trailer that we also posted on youtube and facebook was not "promoted" to the users/followers because we used "bad" words in it, such as "fuck" or "climate change", the latter is (from my knowledge) suppressed because of "conspiracy theories" or being a "controversial" topic. But you never know with these networks.
This can never happen on Peertube. At least not for now, and if it will and some instances could auto-block the distribution of some videos based on such keywords, would be a fuckery.
I don't care anymore. I do the things I find important to do, and use the words I want to use. Am not a prostitute to try and "play by the rules of the game". Better reach a few people in the way I want them to see the content, rather than censor and distort the content in order to reach more people.

This is a very long but very good video about why these recent AI hype is a craze "The AI Mind Virus" ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=3oS9UG1U2N…
The fear we should fear is not some super-intelligent AI, but what this trade-based society pushes people to do with these tools: more scams, more fake shit, more nonsense content, more hype, selling more shit and so forth.

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (trailer)
We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.
What are these humans living for?
In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.
Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.

Did you know that Kdenlive has a mindblowing text-to-speech feature now? I tested it for our trailer. 99% accuracy. I am amazed! This gives me a lot of confidence that we can do the transcriptions with timestamps and all that for the entire documentary, quite fast. Just WOW!
Here's where these so called AI systems are helpful, not the nonsense hype around them. #tromstuff
