I did something similar, years ago, for twitter ads, using autogenerated videos. They didn’t block me, although not sure it would work today:

Hello, it's me, the pearl-clutching, not sane, proselytizing, pseudo-intellectual author of this blog post. Happy to field your many insults/inquiries!

there's a link at the bottom to the code (https://github.com/antiboredom/camera-motion-detector/). I use optical flow and then just count the percentage of pixels that appear to be moving away from the center. If that's bigger than ARBITRARY_THRESHOLD it's a zoom-in.

It is I, the pearl clutcher.

End of an era.

Thanks for sharing this - I'll check it out!

Hi Simon! I'll definitely consider adding that in. Also, I love Datasette!

Hi - I'd be interested to hear more details about what approaches you suggest!

Hi! This is a guide that I started during the pandemic but never quite finished. I’m in the process of re-writing/re-recording some parts of it to bring it back up to date, and adding in the bits that are still missing.

Yes it definitely depends on the source material… I’ll see about adding it in.

Thank you! I will definitely take a look at that - looks great.

Yes that’s possible, but the results are usually not so great!

Thank you! And it's using moviepy to make the cuts (which is technically speaking the actual hard part).

amazing - would love to see that!

Yes, and vosk is really amazing…

I use Mesh at home as my sole internet provider and I've had a great experience so far. I typically get 80mbps download, and the service has been overall very reliable (although there is an occasional brief outage or slowdown when it's raining hard). The only other option in my building is Optimum, which has its own reliability issues and is much more expensive (~$100/month for 200mbps).

It's the setSinkId function which let's you select an audio output (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaEl...) but it looks like I was mistaken -- it should actually also work with Edge and Opera. Will update the message for clarity...

Creator of the Zoom Escaper here... Sadly it relies on a web audio feature that's chrome only. Also too bad because I use firefox as my primary browser.

This looks great! Two alternatives if you are interested in doing similar things in python are moviepy (https://zulko.github.io/moviepy/) and vidpy (which I am working on, and still has many issues: https://antiboredom.github.io/vidpy/)

Hi. I'm one of the project creators. Happy to answer any questions.

We're having one in NYC on February 25th for those who are interested... http://stupidhackathon.com

We select them randomly...

Hey - I worked on Smell Dating (and co-founded Useless Press). Just to be clear, Smell Dating is a real thing - 100 people did in fact sign up, and we've sent them t-shirt samples etc.

Authors here - if anyone has any questions or critiques please let us know.

Hi all - I made this. In case anyone is interested, I wrote up a statement about it here: http://greetingsfellowalienatedsubjectoflatecapitalism.com/#...

Hey - author here. I used casperjs to do the scraping. It was a pain in the ass and I got temporarily banned a few times...

I run this thing called Useless Press (http://uselesspress.org) - we publish interesting/unusual internet things. We came up with the idea of a real-time novel and then asked Josh and @leyawn if they wanted to participate.

Hey - I made this. Lemme know if you have any questions or suggestions. Tune in tomorrow at 1pm EST for the live experience.

Hi, founders of the Stupid Shit No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon (AKA "Stupid Hackathon") here, and yes we do have a certificate, linked below for future reference.

As an intermediate step of merging this into videogrep, I've been using moviepy/audiogrep to make these somewhat unnerving condensed c-span videos:
