This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be migrated to Java, so it can run everywhere.

3 billion

Devices Run Java

[-] lauha@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

3 billion devices have been running java for past 20 years.

Proof of stability!

Most of them have not loaded the kvm just yet, any minute now ...

[-] elvith@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago

Don't you think, that's enough already?

And no more than that. There's a queue now...

J2EE ffmpeg for flip phones

[-] SCmSTR 24 points 2 months ago

You mean JavaScript so that it does the same thing each time

[-] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Scratch should be the choice, obviously. It will be so much easier to maintain! Think of all of the new contributors!

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The entire system is going to be regex.

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!

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 46 points 2 months ago

Only Claude's frontend leaked, not the models

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

That's unironically what ladybird (browser engine) did

[-] yessikg@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Ew another reason to ignore it and wait for Servo instead

Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.

[-] mbp@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 2 months ago

The readme is far too serious for such a silly name

[-] mang0@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

While you're right, this holds true for e.g. 'gimp' and 'git' too.

[-] ResistingArrest@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

This made my fucking day… ffmpreg…

Rust should switch to ffmpeg!

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 59 points 2 months ago

Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

Aww. I just like funny stuff.

It's so fucking dumb

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago

Was jokingly going to suggest a WASM version. But then: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

[-] kopasz7@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

I'm only asking this half jokingly, what the fuck?

[-] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Reminder that Fabrice Bellard, who originally wrote FFMpeg (and QEMU), also made JSLinux, currently based on his other PC emulator TinyEMU and using WASM.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Huh, I guess the person who runs FFmpeg's Xitter account must live in western Europe (UTC+1:00).

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 18 points 2 months ago

So begins the festival of fools.

[-] fxdave@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 months ago

The reason I don't use C, because I don't hate my life.

[-] homes@piefed.world 15 points 2 months ago

Everyone knows that Swift is the language of the future!

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I don't know what swift is

Hey hey hey! She married that sports guy with the big dick and wrote a song about it!

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

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...

Pfft; rewrite it in DHTML and ActiveX.

Is green the high vis color in Europe?

[-] addie@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Took me like 5 second after reading this to understand that it's April 1st.
