Maybe because VLC is actually useful
Unlike Microslop Outlook, there’s a program that doesn’t break when you lose internet connection.
The asshats for some reason felt that they needed to reinvent it as basically a web app and it’s broken in so many ways, and I think it’s lost feature parity with mobile and Mac instead of gaining. Sheer incompetence.
Can’t wait for the day Satya Nadella gets fired, hopefully it will happen when the AI bubble bursts
I pulled this off reddit. I know that’s gross, but this was too good not to share.
Agreed. VLC is the bomb - they deserve the attention and praise.
15 years ago I downloaded VLC on a flash drive with all the episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho and I’ve been using it ever since to watch wherever. Works like a charm.
Browsing reddit may feel gross, but just like the screenshots at !greentext@sh.itjust.works, we need people to sort through the waste and find the gems.
I won’t go back but if you share direct links or rehost here that’s a good thing for this side of fedi.
IMO reposting from larger sites is a very good thing. The main advantage that larger platforms have is the amount of content. If all the good stuff ends up here anyway then it makes it easier to switch for those who haven’t due to the lack of content.
It is the year 2,002,026.
Humanity has conquered capitalism and moved off of Earth. Disease and accidental death have been eradicated. We’ve invented marvelous and miraculous technologies and used them to catapult ourselves to distant worlds.
It’s an open question whether or not our descendants can rightly call themselves “human” anymore, and indeed some on far-flung planets do not.
On the planet Seffi, which we call Kepler-725c, one of those human descendants watches the end of a two-dimensional audiovisual narrative, a recent fad on the planet. They aren’t watching it on a computer, per se, but on a holographic mesh device operating across a distributed cluster of nanomachines. The human descendant telepathically interfaced with it to launch the application and the narrative, and now xe marvels at how immersive and compelling the narrative was, despite being contained as it was within a two-dimensional non-interactive form.
A list of people who contributed to the construction of the narrative concludes its display, and the holomesh reverts to a waiting state, displaying a simple black panel within a white frame. And within that black panel, a small, orange-and-white triangle sits, perfectly centered. The human descendant doesn’t know what it originally represented, and muses briefly about it before deactivating the holomesh and walking out of xeir home to enjoy the sunset beneath the purple-blue trees.
NASA out here laying the groundwork for rickrolling the Eloi
Plot twist: the Seffian’s name is Rickas’Tley
They vaguely wonder who “Vetinari”, “Weatherwax”, “Ogg”, and “Otto Chriek” were.
Nah, the Seffians treat Discworld with the same reverence that we treat Shakespeare. There’s a famous musician on Seffi who calls ximself Wind the Rince.
What porn did they take with them?
Alien kind.

Just fascinating how they all collaborated to agree to these specific titles.
They had several meetings at NASA, rigorous tests, & selected only the best for peak performance.
it’s the library of congress spank bank
They must be big fans of black & white films
Probably a variety?
Nope! Exclusively Corsican convent bdsm porn!
I’m still on the edge of whether I should joke about asking for a link and worrying I’ll get the response.
No worries, I’m not aware of whether or not such porn actually exists 😄
Rule 34 and 35 dictate that you’re now responsible for making sure it exists.
Eh, I’ve done worse 🤷🏻
would this be an ethical use of ai?
No

…do you think they paid for winRAR tho??
Incredibly cool. Though I would have personally preferred MPV
MPV cant read BluRays tho. But yes, I use it too through Haruna.
sure it can stream. In a terminal simply add a URL after
mpv(you might need yt-dlp, not sure)You can also paste the URL from your clipboard into the gui. Works with magnet links too, with a plugin
I didn’t know Haruna was mpv…
I might have to switch. The most recent version of VLC is suddenly giving me trouble with audio on some MKV files. They work just fine in Haruna though. It’s annoying.
In this day, I’m a proud Debian user. (…STS-83 and STS-94 took Debian Linux to the orbit in 1997.) Open Source can into space!
There are pirates aboard Captain!
America and Americans plastering their flag and “fuck yuuuuh, 'Muricuh!!” on every possible square centimeter (not even gonna use imperial as a reference) never stops being one of the most cringe and constantly proven stereotypes of all time. I have this game where if youtube recommends a channel I haven’t seen before and it’s an American channel, I count the minutes until the US flag shows up in any way. It’s VERY rarely more than one video, no matter the length of videos that channel generally makes. The worst thing is when you find a channel you like and don’t think about it, it’s just people making videos about stuff they’re interested in, then they swivel the camera around and have an American flag the size of the fucking moon hanging on their wall. It’s so fucking weird, off putting, brainwashed and deeply stupid.
That’s your algorithm bud, stop watching ameri-bros
IDK what’s sadder, your ability to troll or the fact that it took you effort to type out all that garbage nobody read.
Nobody is trolling. Fuck Americans and our pitiful flag worship.
I see just as many Canadian flags as US here, but sure, go off
You see Canadian flags in the US?
Or are you Canadian and are Americans bringing their diaper cloth into your country?
By ‘here’, I meant the meme
I remember once I had to work in a very sophisticated and expensive electrical gear that had fixed internal thermographic cameras. The first thing that popped in the HMI were the VLC cones.
I’d bet a dollar that nasa never paid for WinRAR
what does that even mean
Are you sure the Chinese didn’t have any Bitcoin on the moon?
