☂️-

did you get the proprietary codecs installed? i never heard of VLC failing to play anything that isn’t actually corrupted, this one is a first.

this is what i came here to suggest. it comes default with gnome now on most distros and looks pretty awesome. IIRC it’s based on mpv, so you won’t have issues playing back media.

or down the road.

i stopped using it for a while because of this bug. this is the entire purpose of using something like nextcloud. syncthing is much worse, so…

unionize, then

you absolutely should not share these files

sounds like an accurate representation of what would happen, too.

cable is the carcinization of media under capitalism.

isn’t the point of the game to be disturbing?

self censorship won’t help.

oh i forgot about that part. yeah.

but hey probably a bit better now

i wish that was education. just an old piece of internet lore.

look him up if you feel like it, can’t deny that’s a pretty crazy life to have lived i can tell you that.

old school internet lore at this point. he is the infamous lolcow, got his life destroyed.

a sad story, i wonder how he is doing but i’m not sure if i want to know.

yeah still plinking away at it i guess, but they can always invest their money again in stealing back all of those users for a platform that will enshittify asap.

reminds me of that time people were gradually going to mastodon and then bluesky came around and stole all that thunder because of mostly superior marketing and being very similar to twitter.

i have to wonder though how the fuck could we actually move a critical mass of people to better apps. we are not having any real luck here so far.

in my country, it’s pretty much mandatory. everybody and their parrots use it universally.

work comms, company services. even the state uses it for their services (of course they have other means too but still).

and i don’t trust it at all. been meaning to sandbox it better than just denying permissions.

i’ve heard it referring to chris chan way back then, when people were more keen to bully him to madness. i’d understand if linus knows about it from being a victim of it, kiwi farms can get pretty relentless.

that’s literally standard internet chud lingo, what does this have to do with anything

what does it smell like?

this kinda just shows he was affected by their trolling.

linus (sebastian) is not a great person but cmon that’s a big stretch.
