I understand that these videos were made public, but still this kinda feels like violating people’s privacy. They most likely never intended for us all to watch their personal videos a decade later.

This is what I don't get about historians reading old people's letters to each other. Most of Alexander the Great's letters that are read are fake, but for the ones that are real, did anyone ask for his consent first? What makes anyone think that we should be privy to their inmost thoughts put to stone? Even if he did, is it informed consent if he did so not knowing that billions could one day consume this idly? Peop…

People need to learn consent for people who've been dead for hundreds or thousands of years? Why? In the end, everything we leave behind belongs to our species' history and culture. There's no moral obligation for privacy under these circumstances the same way there is for somebody who's alive now. It just makes it unnecessarily difficult for future historians to put arbitrary restrictions on what they're allowed to read and share.

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

I can imagine that it gets boring really quickly to skim through random untitled YouTube uploads. Maybe back then when YT did have a weak filter and initially waved through the videos there could have been something worth finding.

Would be cool to see some statistics on how many videos over the years get removed with each new protection and censorship update. For example the latest medical disinformation campaign not only forces creators to avoid certain words completely, but also flagged and deleted pre-existing videos.

It’s sad and dangerous that any topic could get forbidden and erased not allowed to keep a history. The Internet Archive is unfortunately a target now and efforts are being taken to undermine it partly. It’s already a thing to have records deleted from the archive which should be the most worse thing when your whole concept is to archive.

I strongly suggest IA mirrors around the world in various countries with different legislations so that the censorship of each country is not reflected in the IA mirror of the other.

And the former default is no longer developer friendly. (Or friendly to anyone else, really.)

I can't tell if this trail of talk is about Tumblr, Blogger, or something else - idnk, does anyone else remembers Astroatlas?

Probably Twitter? Tumblr and Blogger were for regular blogging, not micro-blogging.

Lots of digital cameras use an incrementing number in the filename. If you ignore the prefix part, I wonder what is the most commonly uploaded filename number for photos and videos?

IMG_XXXX is actually a standard for digital cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_sy... TFA, "Apple uses the ‘IMG_XXXX’ naming convention for all images and videos captured on iOS devices, where XXXX is a unique sequence number." isn't very accurate, as the numbers are not unique. They're just sequential. if you take 1001 images, the file system will actually create a new folder and roll t…

Although as that link says, the prefix depends on the manufacturer. My Sony Mavica cameras have MVC_, newer Sony cameras are DSC0, my Fujifilm cameras have DSCF, I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple

I’m pretty sure they’re referring to Twitter.

Twitter still exists. Renamed. Same exact thing. You can create an account and post whatever random things you want. Some people might follow you. Some might not. If you see something that makes you sad, you can block the person who posted the sad thing.

Twitter used to have an app, Periscope. You could start a livestream any time, anywhere. And viewers could fine live streams on a world map. For a few months, it was possible to feel the incredible simultaneity and richness of human lives. Someone biking, another person cooking. Day in one place, night in another place. It was ahead of its time. And too expensive for Twitter to keep running for too long. But it was a…

they should bring it back

I think Twitter is losing enough money already, doubt they could afford to do that

It's really cool that such standard exists, the worst thing about Pixel phones is stupid filenames of pictures and videos, not only it's not following this standard, but contains WRONG timestamp. For example, picture with name `PLX_20241101_115855.jpg` was taken at 12:58:55, not 11 as the name suggests, but also picture with name `PLX_20240913_191525.jpg` was taken at 19:15:25. A video on the other hand would have a timestamp offset -1, the offset changes depending on time of the year and it's different for pictures and videos. It's annoying af, because pictures and videos in the same folder will not be sorted chronologically by filename.

Very heartwarming. I have an "android named" video uploaded to YouTube a few years ago, and because there is copyrighted background music going on (which I didn't realize at the time) YouTube is threatening to delete it. I don't know if they will or not, not sure when they put the "will delete" tag on it. My late wife is in it. She died recently. I didn't know that video was still up there until I read your post. And…

If you remember the account details to log in to the account which uploaded that video, you can go to https://studio.youtube.com, click "Content", and under the 3-dot menu for each video you can click "Download" to get Youtube's copy of your video.

Hoping that helps. Otherwise, you might try something like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.

>Between 2009 and 2012, Apple iPhones and iPod Touches included a feature called “Send to YouTube” that allowed users to upload videos directly to YouTube from the Photos app.

A feature Nokia with Android One used to have too, but Android itself doesn't have.
