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!
And no more than that. There’s a queue now…
Except next to pools, no one should run there
Unless you have scissors. That cancels it out.
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!
Lies, damn lies, and write once run anywhere™️.
Surely at least one other person knows about qemu-user
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!

You had me for a second
Can’t believe people don’t link sources anymore. Anyway yeah it just happened today.
What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol
Ah, just realized what day it is
East Coast here, it’s not even midnight for another 4 minutes!
In the real east coast April 1St ended over an hour ago
I am on the east coast and it had been April 1 for 14 hours when you posted this
But the message says it was sent on March 31st.
Timezones, probably!
They just were so fucking fast they posted to the past.
A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.
I guess next year I’ll have to post a joke just after midnight. I’ll wake to find confusion and chaos.
Often we are not even included on maps.
the timestamp is generally local for the reader, not the poster.
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.
Totally, though I wouldn’t bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into
Although if you’re doing it a lot, you’ve basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.
By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven’t checked in a while.
Bro, just use Rust, bro.
We get it, Rust can suck your dick… and more!
I don’t see where I said any of the words you just quoted. Impressive if Rust can suck a dick I don’t have though, I’ll give them that.
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Well
That checks out for xitter

Are rustaceans cantankerous?
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
(Yeah, AI slop from the early days when I was checking it out.)
I’ll be damned.
Now we just need to find out if the bear’s Catholic, and we’ll be set.
It has rabid fans and rabid haters, much of it is some identity politics shit too. It’s a whole mess
My instance went down, so I’m way too late to make this joke, but anyways:
We’re not cantankerous, just a little …crabby. 🙃
Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
Yes officer, this one right here.
FFmpregante!
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
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?
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.
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.
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).
The reason I don’t use C, because I don’t hate my life.
So begins the festival of fools.
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.
Took me like 5 second after reading this to understand that it’s April 1st.
Pfft; rewrite it in DHTML and ActiveX.
Visual Basic isn’t dead … it’s just resting!
Why is this how I learned that FFmpeg has a pretty great Twitter account?
