How they view iPhone users who can’t play a fucking .webm in 2025
VLC’s gonna be up there with
ffmpeg
andyt-dlp
MPV is also high-quality software, tends to handle streams much better than VLC for me. It’s amazing the amount of FOSS software that has been painstakingly maintained for years, that we mostly take for granted.
mpv use ffmpeg as backend
so does vlc (afaik both use libffmpeg)
VLC doesn’t care. I dropped a 3d model on it by accident and it started 3d printing it. I don’t even have a 3d printer
One of the achievements of humanity, along with Wikipedia, etc.
A monument how individuals can resist enshitification without prioritising financial gain over other humans.I was team mpc until about 2006, now I’m team mpv.
I still can’t remember why I disliked VLC, I think the first time I used it the video would not work but it played with mplayer.
Still good to have VLC around though, glad to see them stickin’ around all these years.
Did you know that the VLC icon wears a Santa hat around Christmastime? Maybe that will change your mind.
mpv does that too
