You have downloaded with yt-dlp a music lesson video.

But you would like to change its pitch.

With #linux command line tools:

1. Extract the audio from a webm file:

ffmpeg -i snuff_c_sharp.webm snuff_c_sharp.wav

2. Transpose (--pitch 3 means "raise pitch by 3 semitones"):

rubberband --pitch 3 snuff_c_sharp.wav snuff_e.wav

3. Put the transposed audio back into the video file:

ffmpeg -i snuff_c_sharp.webm -i snuff_e.wav -c:v copy -map 0✌️0 -map 1🅰0 snuff_e.mp4

@feditips Unfortunately, the same pro-centralization approach has been adopted by the @spreadmastodon campaigners.

Although, in many cases, the corporate ethics teams are a kind of fig leaf, the #Microsoft #layoffs make clear how (un)important #ethics implications are for big tech.

How #AI is going to shape our future societies is such an important matter to leave it to "corporate responsibility".

The life of the #foss developer and activist Alaa Abdel Fattah is at acute risk, after he escalated a hunger strike and stopped drinking water.

He has co-founded the Egyptian GNU/Linux Users Group, he has worked on Drupal and on the translation utility Pootle.
