  • 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.





  • Your frustration is palpable and that’s disappointing. Lemmy has improved a lot since we all arrived while the software experience is a lot smoother, admins have been clamouring for moderation tools the whole time. Ultimately there needs to be more contribution to do everything that everyone wants, but moderation needs to be a higher priority for sure.

    I will say this though. I know you dislike developers discussing, disagreeing or even arguing, but I actually think it’s nice to see things in the open.

    Whether you find happiness here or elsewhere in the fediverse, I wish you the best of success and not just because you host one of my communities 😂




  • 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!
