3 Video Conferences Suck, Audio Conferences Rule |

5 Our dear connection spy to the social slavery web has written a nice |
|
|
|
6 insight on his life as a video conference victim: |

|

11 use a web browser, this is always a security risk.) |

13 All bitreichcon visitors liked the conference, because we kept to |
|
|
|
14 certain rules: |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
|
16 There is only one audio stream, which is the current main content to |
|
|
|
17 discus, talk and reason about. There are never multiple people talking. |
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 People easily see the slides using ssh. |
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
|
21 The IRC room forces people to convert their fast thoughts into text. The |
|
|
|
22 questions were collected and added to the main audio stream context |
|
|
|
23 according to the current moderator. |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
|
25 We had a schedule for everyone. It was changed, but this was decided in |
|
|
|
26 a democratic way. |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 We had no bandwidth issues, because all information was scaled down to |
|
|
|
29 the minimal needs. Text is text, the audio is for only using one sensory |
|
|
|
30 input. You could have done something else while following. For following |
|
|
|
31 the whole conference you need less than 200 kbit/s download speed. |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 After the conference it is easily possible to recreate the slides, to |
|
|
|
34 grep them, to convert them, because a simple format is used. This simple |
|
|
|
35 format allows to convert thoughts into text easily too. No ugly clicking |
|
|
|
36 and moving around the mouse is needed, like in PPT. |
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 Conclusion: Video is mostly a waste of time. Use it for porn or other |
|
|
|
39 beautiful things. Showing faces which pretend to smile is not what the |
|
|
|
40 Internet was made for. |
