This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be migrated to Java, so it can run everywhere.
Scratch should be the choice, obviously. It will be so much easier to maintain! Think of all of the new contributors!
Devices Run Java
3 billion devices have been running java for past 20 years.
Proof of stability!
Except next to pools, no one should run there
Unless you have scissors. That cancels it out.
You mean JavaScript so that it does the same thing each time
J2EE ffmpeg for flip phones
I hope they’re doing it with AI for faster development. Now that Claude is open source, there’s no excuse to refuse progress anymore!
Only Claude's frontend leaked, not the models
To which Anthropic answered by open sourcing the whole thing under AGPL. Didn't you see the news?
April 1?
Yeah! April number one!
I don't want AGPL. I will use claude to rewrite it and license it MIT since that's peachy and legal now.
You had me for a second
That's unironically what ladybird (browser engine) did
Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
Yes officer, this one right here.
What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol
Ah, just realized what day it is
I guess not rust itself, but people telling them to switch to rust over and over again. They use a lot of assembly magic to get good performance, they aren't in C land.
You can embed Assembly in Rust. A lot of low-level Rust projects embed Assembly.
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Rust should switch to ffmpeg!
Was jokingly going to suggest a WASM version. But then: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm
I'm only asking this half jokingly, what the fuck?
WASM is great :) unironically
everything should switch to wasm. i'm not saying this because of arbitrarily. it's just very well thought-through. wasm automatically provides portability, sandboxing, and integration with other languages.
like, one of the things i still don't understand is why we don't have automatic sandboxing for every application. like, when i download and run a new game from steam, why isn't it automatically put in a sandbox? Why does it have full read/write access to my entire disk? i don't like that at all...
Converting everything to wasm would solve that automatically, and very easily on top of that.
Makes it portable across architectures while also providing sandboxing.
The fedi software I use (GoToSocial) runs both ffmpeg (Sorry, ffmpreg) and sqlite through WASM, also makes it easier to integrate it with Go code apparently.
Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.
Took me like 5 second after reading this to understand that it's April 1st.
The reason I don't use C, because I don't hate my life.
Huh, I guess the person who runs FFmpeg's Xitter account must live in western Europe (UTC+1:00).
Why is this how I learned that FFmpeg has a pretty great Twitter account?
