    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 think the adoption everyone is looking for on desktop is deceptive. The type of people that run Linux on desktop are averse to Telemetry and so desktop Linux will report much smaller numbers anyway. Consequently, everyone is hoping for Linux to become the standard in the professional space and there, it’s back to application support and the big one, compatibility. It’s all good if everyone in an office is using Linux, but they need to interact with the outside world, and if the outside world can’t read what they send, then it’s not even worth considering switching.
