its funny how proprietary software is becoming more and more usable over time because of developers like this

@theorytoe @PurpCat @xianc78 @gabriel It's also funny from the open sores perspective. Small open sores projects don't have these problems. It's always these big projects infiltrated/created by attention addicts that are also addicted to politics.

@phnt @theorytoe @PurpCat @gabriel Which is why I don't use anything other than MPV for audio/video.

@xianc78 @theorytoe @PurpCat @gabriel
MPV also had its moments:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/13082
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/af2635d8c9389504cb0b07a78f3999096d80a1ab immediately followed by
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/b690531f3047f9eac85450457e04f67e2e2aa69b

Spamming the repo with issues wanting to remove the hat in December is almost a yearly occurrence there.

@phnt @theorytoe @PurpCat @gabriel I don't care about the Santa hat. MPV is minimalist enough to make forking much easier.

@phnt @PurpCat @xianc78 @gabriel

the point it that its never over actual software its some twitter drama stuff that really doesnt matter.
I guess its the result of having an industry that is deeply tied to the internet and that most of the internet is braindead to the point of retardation
but even then you could also say its a cultural issue and you would be correct too

makes anybody who wants to bring new life into the field consider another career entirely (because i dont want to deal with these people whatsoever)

@theorytoe @PurpCat @xianc78 @gabriel Society if people that always attach themselves to drama and politics didn't have access to the Internet: flying-cars.jpeg

@phnt @theorytoe @xianc78 @gabriel yeah but as the uutils shit has shown, the truth is the game was rigged from the start.

@PurpCat @theorytoe @xianc78 @gabriel What's with the Rust coreutils rewrite? I don't care that Ubuntu is switching to it. Is there something deeper or what?

@phnt @theorytoe @PurpCat @gabriel Maybe so they won't have to comply with the GPL?

@phnt @theorytoe @xianc78 @gabriel Not Invented Here, C is problematic, it's MIT licensed, and of course it's Memory Safe or something.

@theorytoe @phnt @xianc78 @gabriel it's because the well adjusted programs are competing with rasheed for a job at wagiecorp

@theorytoe @phnt @xianc78 @gabriel I like to make fun of these people hard because I still vividly remember the era in which the non-Wintel people would goon themselves to the idea of fighting MS even as they became less and less relevant in the normiesphere for a while.

Now when their job is probably easier than ever because Teams is outsourced to India, they would rather mimic online bloodsports in comment boxes and fight about politics. Then they wonder why Joe Normie is stuck on the mainstream platforms.

@PurpCat @theorytoe @phnt @xianc78 @gabriel The only viable platforms are lunix with long term support that stick to the old stuff.

There are only a handful of them out there.
