I mean I would rather they weren't baking it into the browser, but at least I can #optout (for now)

#OptOut #ReclaimControl

Looking for #datasovereign #video #editing tools to make smartphone video shorts available for online "content" about #optout and #reclaimtech including captioning.

The workflow looks tremendous and like there are few options without feeding a company's servers/AI/databanks/facial-recognition-learning-systems so I will just say up front what I'd prefer:

- FOSS or other ethical tech (small EU-based businesses under GDPR ok)
- Smartphone if at all possible: .APK or SFOS preferred, iOS is doable
- If necessary, PC tools using Debian flavors of Linux (ubuntu, raspbian), or MacOS
- #noai unless running STT or caption burning models locally, on the box

( i.e. @emilymbender and @mystery_ai_hype_theater what do you use? )
