i go to play some youtube vid and i see i have been switched into "ambient mode" by default. meaning, it's summing up the colors of the video and doing crappy, ugly gradients in the web page background in a haze of marketing around the video window. it is not a lightweight effect; it hammers the CPU. this will drain your fone battery. that, like, i use a pi 4 in my bedroom for surfing the web, and this would nuke it. unless you log in. log in to google, to youtube, forever. and you won't have to rush to shut off ambient mode. every. time and that's why ambient mode exists, i theorize. the name is ironic sarcasm. it's meant to irritate you into logging in permanently so you don't have to keep switching it off. either that, or it's one of those things where they use web viewers like you and i to beta test something, and no one else is seeing it except me and a few other tens of thousands of plebs |

i did some further testing. i got this fucking "ambient mode" in firefox on linux, locked down. adblock, noscript, etc. and as soon as i switched it off other videos followed suit and left it off. i closed firefox (set to clear all cookies) and then i view the same vid and i'm in ambient mode again try it on a mac, vivaldi: no ambient mode mac, firefox: no ambient mode back to linux pc, vivaldi: no ambient mode linux pc, chrome incognito: no ambient mode so maybe i'm a guinea pig. or maybe they're just offering a huge middle finger to my default youtube configuration |

i have one defense of youtube: us all being able to say, "shit, m8, just listen to this, you'll see" and without youtube we've resorted to posting mp3s ourselves somewhere in a fragile manner. then i'm thinking: there's something to actually having to, like, browse through someone's shit on soulseek and think, "yes, that might be good" and then commit to actually download it; it's a thin barrier but youtube doesn't have it and that gives the universe a very different feel if you give youtube up and go back to that. a thot |

i guess, whatever, just let me know if anyone else sees this nonsense. if it's switched on everywhere, though, i'll obviously find out without everyone replying. thanks for reading my thred |

yes it still happens on my firefux loonix happening right here, right now ~ you can see the basic concept is to fart "ambience" like that fucking TV gimmick where it has a bunch of LEDs on back to ape whatever it's playing onscreen and make it more "immersive" i promptly shut such crap off. |

it seems to have been steamrolled out more now mark my words. 2024 will be the year youtube dies, at least in the sense of "i want to link that random track for the sake of discussion." youtube has been increasingly shit but at least it did that... now, however, i feel it coming. the reddit/api drama is just the start. that i even pick 2024 for a raisin or five; certain laws will kick into effect upon the new year and from there it's tldr |

i want to beat ambient mode with a fucking brick. this is very rapidly training me to impulsively use command-line software to rip any youtube video i am interested in rather than actually watch it on their site. which is less hassle than opening up a terminal and downloading it, right? until ambient mode keeps turning back on because one has cookies cleared every session and then ambient mode overheads your old six-core AMD linux box and it freezes and NOW it is more hassle to watch a vid on the youtube site than it is to download it i'm watching videos on signal processing because i still want my dub plates |

epic make us some lush ambient music no beatz go |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
maybe where the melody is made entirely from drum feedback |
||||||||
|
|

I will listen but the stipulation was lush, so it had BETTER be lush. |

it's like how you're outside a club and you hear dum dum dum and then you're in the lobby and it's DUM DUM DUM and it was about trying to build that up into a whole track. so yeah it's really focused on.... just texture, feel bottle service also promises as delivered, the only other one following that scheme rigidly on the album ...then asses and frequent c are two of my top faves within last few years, others aren't bad either there are actually more feedback tracks i cut from the album |

epic i could have sworn i commented on this b4! mainly because I remember the cover art (its your best cover art) and the track, maybe genuinely your best track (subjective) I'll prolly buy it in the next couple days (not @ pc) But for this to be ambient 2 things have to happen: 1. have to be diagnosed as deaf (so i cant hear 99% of your sounds) 2. have to be diagnosed with down syndrome (so i mistake honestly decent club techno for beatless ambient) still tho, good stuff. |

it was like "well this is closest i can think of that's already organized online" and bottle service, yes there is a beat, but i argue that qualifies, more or less but i'm aware that's stretching it |

i mean. i have a tub full of minidisc with things like, dedicated record setup by piano for a year and a half like 2011ish, just me playing piano and occasionally making augmenting noises. sometimes at +++ and i don't even remember that shit. i remember my pendulum riff though and i do want that one someday. but most of it's probably crap and i can't link you a minidisc in a plastic bin from The Container Store |

...and that is an interesting thot. how long do keep on the shelf? because i do have a setup tuned for ripping tapes 96k now that could easily go to MD but witness the horror of my MD labeling scheme, which breaks down into a gradient of [actual helpful names, names that meant something at the time but now mean nothing to me but maybe i'll remember if i listen, illegible scrawls, integers going into the 40s] the piano ones were later in the MD days and thankfully i've done myself a favor with the label |

but steve in the blackbox thred, sed: "its got that anaesthetic thing that i get from some tunes" and i'm not sure what that means, exactly, but i'm pretty sure mine does it better |

oh, boo. i don't get credit for not posting, do i? only demerits for shitting post too much. crap not posted includes: â‹„ the minidisc player had an exploded battery too. long post about cleaning that up, sony's design aesthetic â‹„ i've ripped the piano discs but i still need to listen through it all. i actually think this might be better to chop up in renoise than to release. i could make a house track out of chopping bits up â‹„ "AMBIENT" well i also have the 2014 modular jams, those are... pretty... ambient? those i will probably post soon â‹„ "AMBIENT" the fuck is ambient, anyways? wallpaper music, eno's definition. my previous post, i made SPACEPORT EP after hearing that "music for airpots" gag. but, really, what _IS_ ambient, anyways? plenty of SAW II tracks have a beat. i've danced around to "shiny metal rods" multiple times before â‹„ so maybe, like, as in, "that made me feel like someone dosed me for a moment" or AMBIENT as in the plastikman album that got my breathing to sync up with the air conditioner? â‹„ i'll add some other "AMBIENT" rejects to Da Club as bonus trax so you'll buy it? â‹„ etc |

* DA CLUB now has ~ TRUKQS, Tinky, Tre, fu * also like a second album in bonus. who was it that wanted the roger/AE one? big? stay tuned for more nonsense later, probably, because i know this matters very much to you |

nevermind. some or all of that will show up eventually. wolfslice hasn't bought anything. back on topic!!! i am looking for a good youtube video on "CDMA Signal Spreading" -- and nevermind what that is, except that it's an engineering lecture sort of thing. the fact that it decides to switch on "ambient mode" for this vid is crystal-clear example of how this is intentional useless poop and they know it; they've put it in here to fucking punish people like me for not signing in. i've started ripping them all and carefully filing them, but that's getting tedious. i've never written a firefox/chrome extension before but i'm feeling curious how to do that right about now |
