Born and raised in London. Just a normal guy with a moral compass.
Ain’t nobody want this
However, he also clarified that plans for this were not finalized yet, and if it were to happen, it would be optional for VLC users.
Happy to see some sanity prevails.
Having read the article, it sounds like the logical evolution of VLC. FAST Channels are here to stay and they actually are a vital thing in a world where Google have a monopoly on online video. While they’re not what I would go for, I’m glad they’re available as even my cable provider offers FAST channels.
Will be interesting to see VLC compete with JWPlayer and the various forks of it.
Also I don’t think anyone disagrees that the core needs rewriting and the UI needs a refresh. Wonder when Android will start seeing these builds on the beta channel.
That’s a wonderful message.
The fact that you’re sharing is already enough
Don’t think I’ll ever stop wishing that Lineage matched Google’s version numbers
It’s okay. It’s like a generic version of some other things. I don’t regret reading it.
What did you figure out?
Honestly, I’m inebriated and so I have no doubt that I could’ve been a lot more fluffy in my approach. I also see at least one spelling mistake, so that’s double bubble bad by me.
Since you’re not OP, I can be unabashedly honest. Anyone that has been around open-source software knows that bug reporters are as unappreciated as they come, despite being a vital cog in the system, but holy hell, there’s no stamp card, you don’t say I submitted ten ideas, crown me king.
There’s literally a monthly Q&A where the OP could have a broader discussion about priorities and direction. There’s also a whole Github repository just for discussing ideas and direction, it’s the RFC one.
Anyway, I’m going back to enjoying my Saturday night.
You sound entitled as hell and most of your ideas read like stuff a project manager comes up with when trying to justify their job and I say that despite their being some good ideas in there. Anyway, it’s Saturday night, surely there’s better things to do than whine about the developers not implementing what you want?
New Schoolboy Q, Copywrite and Blu 😱
No wonder he got so strong, he went to train with Bob Marley!
LGTM +
True, I actually liked Windows phone. But the lack of software support killed it. Even whatsapp pulled the plug.
I think the adoption everyone is looking for on desktop is deceptive. The type of people that run Linux on desktop are averse to Telemetry and so desktop Linux will report much smaller numbers anyway. Consequently, everyone is hoping for Linux to become the standard in the professional space and there, it’s back to application support and the big one, compatibility. It’s all good if everyone in an office is using Linux, but they need to interact with the outside world, and if the outside world can’t read what they send, then it’s not even worth considering switching.
Do you really think generic Linux phones will ever be a thing? The people go where the apps are and there’s no reason for the most popular apps to make generic Linux apps. Just the idea of mobile Flatpaks makes me nauseous.
The corners seem too curved.
Hmmm. I feel like this is one of those long-term studies that would be quite exciting? Am I wrong to be a little bit excited about programs learning how to guess correctly what should be where and subsequently how things should sound?
Based on the little experience I have of the way you talk about audio, I can say without a doubt that whomever you teach will count themselves lucky. You’re passionate and you speak clearly, not over complicating things nor dumbing them down. I’m going to definitely keep an eye out in the audio topics for your posts as well as keep my fingers crossed that you another chance to teach!
I use Muzei and my wallpaper changes every half hour, so I’m not really affected.
But even if I was, so the fuck what? If you’re sacrificing your personal enjoyment of your phone for privacy, you’re either a secret agent or you’re overly paranoid.
Most of us are running adblocking at the DNS level, so what exactly are you worried about?
Paranoia for the sake of paranoia is stupid!
I feel like you enjoyed writing this and even if you didn’t, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort.
I’m a big fan of the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular. Thanks to the Fediverse, but mostly Lemmy, I was able to build my home lab and now when I walk around my house, the lights come on by themselves. I love the conversions I get into. I love the open nature of Lemmy and how you can look at the repositories and watch how it grows.
There’s definitely things that can be better and I’m happy to be on the train.
My only true desire is to see more people and communities distributed across more instances.
