    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.

    Everything on the left (except Tux) is terrible today and that’s fine, things evolve. It would be fun to see modern versions of each of those logos though.

    I was so in love with Pidgin for a while that I even made a mock-up for how to improve it. I think I still have blog posts up about it.

    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.
