This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be migrated to Java, so it can run everywhere.
3 billion
Devices Run Java
3 billion devices have been running java for past 20 years.
Proof of stability!
Most of them have not loaded the kvm just yet, any minute now …
Don’t you think, that’s enough already?
At least one to many in my opinion.
And no more than that. There’s a queue now…
J2EE ffmpeg for flip phones
You mean JavaScript so that it does the same thing each time
Not exactly the same thing, but…
Scratch should be the choice, obviously. It will be so much easier to maintain! Think of all of the new contributors!
Python, for badassness.
I think you meant perl.
The entire system is going to be regex.
That’s the genius of it
Better yet: bash. If you can read the code, then someone didn’t do their job properly!
Surely at least one other person knows about qemu-user
Lies, damn lies, and write once run anywhere™️.
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
That’s unironically what ladybird (browser engine) did
Ew another reason to ignore it and wait for Servo instead
Why the ladybird hate?
Besides the fact that they are vibe coding?
Oh, I didn’t know. Yeah that’s not nice.

Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
that’s a thing https://github.com/yazaldefilimone/ffmpreg
The readme is far too serious for such a silly name
While you’re right, this holds true for e.g. ‘gimp’ and ‘git’ too.
This made my fucking day… ffmpreg…
Yes officer, this one right here.
FFmpregante!
Rust should switch to ffmpeg!
Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.
Aww. I just like funny stuff.
Me too, which is why I hate this fucking holiday.
Not sure I believe you, TBH.
It’s so fucking dumb
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.
Reminder that Fabrice Bellard, who originally wrote FFMpeg (and QEMU), also made JSLinux, currently based on his other PC emulator TinyEMU and using WASM.
Huh, I guess the person who runs FFmpeg’s Xitter account must live in western Europe (UTC+1:00).
So begins the festival of fools.
The reason I don’t use C, because I don’t hate my life.
Everyone knows that Swift is the language of the future!
I don’t know what swift is
Mediocre pop star.
Hey hey hey! She married that sports guy with the big dick and wrote a song about it!
It’s Apple’s programming language, kind of intended as a successor to Objective-C.
From what I hear, it’s actually decently designed and has quite a few similarities to Rust. Still not sure, how great it is outside of the Apple ecosystem…
interesting. thanks for explaining. I am not an apple person in any capacity.
Pfft; rewrite it in DHTML and ActiveX.
Visual Basic isn’t dead … it’s just resting!
Is green the high vis color in Europe?
The fluorescent green hi-vis is usually reserved for first-aiders, but there are exceptions. I was working on a site in the middle of some rapeseed fields once, and we all got issued green - anyone wearing yellow or orange was swarmed with insects in moments.
The neon green in Germany is usually anything.
We have those as high vis vests for car issues.
But we also have yellow and orange
Took me like 5 second after reading this to understand that it’s April 1st.
Why is this how I learned that FFmpeg has a pretty great Twitter account?
