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!
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…
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…
Python, for badassness.
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
To which Anthropic answered by open sourcing the whole thing under AGPL. Didn’t you see the news?
I don’t want AGPL. I will use claude to rewrite it and license it MIT since that’s peachy and legal now.
April 1?
Yeah! April number one!
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.
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!
The world doesnt only exist within the US timezone ;)
I don’t understand. I learned in school that America is the only important country in the world.
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.
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.
Bro, just use Rust, bro.
We get it, Rust can suck your dick… and more!
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Well
That checks out for xitter
did you know, in spain (or some regions thereof) the “x” is pronounced as sh

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
It’s over 1.1k comments already, all the rusties fuming 🤣
Rust should switch to ffmpeg!
Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.
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).
So begins the festival of fools.
Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
that’s a thing https://github.com/yazaldefilimone/ffmpreg
Yes officer, this one right here.
FFmpregante!
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
It’s about time!
Wasn’t that last year?
