VLC: I know that and I love you

The dependencies in Arch got weird. But I think that's because the ffmpeg library got weird?

Wasn't Blow the guy who quit game development because he couldn't take any criticism and would rail on people in public forums for not liking his hit game?

No but Blow himself is a joke these days.

Yeah he blows. Pun intended

If there is a question between if an issue is caused by a free and open source project, or a paid product that is made by one of the biggest companies in the world. I always place blame on the paid product by default, and I start troubleshooting from there.

This is how Microsoft does business

Its how they've been doing business since its inception some 5 odd decades ago

Its why I've hated them all my life

Hell, look into Linux sco Microsoft

Microsoft is a bunch of criminals in a suit

They’ve been doing this shit for years. Windows 3 had the AARD code, windows 9x would throw fake bluescreens if QuickTime was installed, and so on and so on.

It is my music player on Android actually. Not because its so good but because every other OpenSource player I tried lacked something for me that VLC had. Or they were just heating up my phone for no reason while just playing music, which is kind of a massive no for me.

it works good enough in a pinch, honestly

I mostly use it for CDs when not watching videos/DVDs since I know like zero other software I can use that isn't specifically for windows or can detect the CD in my USB disc drive.

Works like a charm, minus the maybe second, second and a half, audio glitch at the beginning of a song.

I thought about using it to play music a couple of years ago, but it lacked gapless playback which ruined some albums for me, so I discarded it.

Not sure about VLCs responses, but the original post and several other comments ( including the article ) read like ragebait. I'm tired of ragebait, man.

Probably safer to exclude vlc from defender compared with Microsoft rawdogging your system with updates

you are correct, everything in thatvarticle ia stupid. but his first tweet was being more if a dick than stupidity. he enjoys being a dick.

i have a better response to him thn anyone else gave. vlc is orovided as open source , a community effort. for a oerson who not only coded ebtire game by himself but also created a programming language., he can pull down vlc and fix his problem... if its so fixable.
