they will always get something

2018-10-02 20:16:20 UTC  

I am not talking about getting some movement off the grounds. It's something anyone can do for themselves.

2018-10-02 20:16:44 UTC  

I still use some Google services, and I am relatively certain that I am not giving them anything of value through my particular use.

2018-10-02 20:17:33 UTC  

For example, I haven't stopped using YouTube through MPV-YT, which is my current music player.

2018-10-02 20:18:15 UTC  

All I am doing is grabbing the stream, but I do not believe that Google gains anything from that. Some people, not saying you, seem convinced that the best way to boycott a company is to completely avoid using any of their products or services.

2018-10-02 20:18:39 UTC  

Alphabet Inc is just a company, if they get woke go broke often enough they might adjust

2018-10-02 20:18:48 UTC  

As someone who doesn’t like the Democratic Party I don’t think pointing out their time as an anti-black party is not a good way to change people’s opinion.

2018-10-02 20:18:51 UTC  

I am saying that this might not necessarily be the case, as there are steps you can take through which you prevent them from getting to what they want out of you.

2018-10-02 20:19:11 UTC  

i do wonder now

2018-10-02 20:19:13 UTC  

lets say

2018-10-02 20:19:22 UTC  

you take a video you upload on youtube

2018-10-02 20:19:25 UTC  

you can play it just fine

2018-10-02 20:19:38 UTC  

The democrat party is worse now as a counter to the Southern Strategy than they were as racists

2018-10-02 20:19:45 UTC  

but the data it plays in encrypted in such a way that its seemingly just random

2018-10-02 20:19:48 UTC  

all these companies need moeny

2018-10-02 20:19:48 UTC  

but you get an addon

2018-10-02 20:19:51 UTC  

As racists they gave us the new deal

2018-10-02 20:19:55 UTC  

that decrypts the live video while you watch it

2018-10-02 20:20:02 UTC  

Now they stand for nothing but virtue signalling

2018-10-02 20:20:06 UTC  

@Risotto is right

2018-10-02 20:20:09 UTC  

they will adjust

2018-10-02 20:20:10 UTC  

Yes, you can create such a vieo.

2018-10-02 20:20:11 UTC  

this way the YT algorithm can not read the file, but people in the know can

2018-10-02 20:20:25 UTC  

It sounds like a wacky example, but I like those kind of thought experiments. Let's go there.

2018-10-02 20:20:31 UTC  

the issue is, do we want them to adjust after all they did?

2018-10-02 20:20:37 UTC  

if this was automatable

2018-10-02 20:20:52 UTC  

but also exclusive so youtube cant also get those decryption keys

2018-10-02 20:20:59 UTC  

that could be interesting

2018-10-02 20:21:09 UTC  

I think this is very close to watermarking and data stenciling, I believe it's called, which is basically hiding data in files.

2018-10-02 20:21:48 UTC  

It's pretty easy to do. For example, a GIF has headers that let the image library know where the picture ends, so additional data at the end of the file will not bother standard compliant libraries.

2018-10-02 20:22:07 UTC  

So, you can append as much data to the end of the GIF as you like, upload it, nobody knows, and your data is at the end of the file.

2018-10-02 20:22:44 UTC  

For example, I tried this on Minds and other social media services. I made a zip file in which I put some random cat memes, uploaded it to Minds, and my friend downloaded it, unzipped the file and got the cat memes out.

2018-10-02 20:22:52 UTC  

The GIF was only 1 pixel in size.

2018-10-02 20:23:25 UTC  

So, it is not too hard to hide data in a video stream, by watermarking. You can create any kind of pattern in your video, but it might make it harder, because many services will transcode your data first.

2018-10-02 20:23:53 UTC  

YouTube, for example, will transcode your video to MP4 and AAC codec, so your data will likely get lost, as the transcoder only grabs the data it knows about.

2018-10-02 20:24:05 UTC  

thats not new

2018-10-02 20:24:26 UTC  

aye, but you have different codecs, and what i am saying is that you use the literal footage not something added they might trow away

2018-10-02 20:24:26 UTC  

Other sites use a library called PNGCRUSH, which performs a similar function, and reduces extraneous data before storing and serving the image.

2018-10-02 20:24:29 UTC  

like,t heres software with algorythingms that scans files for hiden files inside file formats

2018-10-02 20:24:29 UTC  

@Risotto I think that might be a bit much. They are right now horrible but I think they were worse before the, “party flip” or whatever they call it

2018-10-02 20:24:31 UTC  

like.. uploading static
