Canada has a history of ping-ponging between Conservative and Liberal governments every ~10 years.

I think Trudeau was fine as a Liberal PM. The one difference this iteration was that they formed government on a promise to change the electoral system, and they didn't follow through. That could have ended the cycle. They burned everyone on the left with that move, and they lost the right because the right has gone Trumpist. So now they're fucked, and we're all fucked too. 🎉

But it's ok because some retired boomers get to shout 'taking our country back' then blame foreigners for anything negative that happens

And then fly back to Spain with the sense of superiority that comes from carrying a blue passport.

It sounds like you'd benefit from having a project in mind. I always learned programming languages by building something I wanted, or by tinkering on someone else's project.

That explains why we never hear about either of them anymore.

I worked on this game. You have to dribble a basketball in front of all your expensive electronics. Insane idea, but it was a fun project.

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help,

Use -data_field first as decoder option in CLI. Default value was changed from first to auto in latest FFmpeg version. Or modify AVOption of same name in API for this decoder.

Thanks @Elon for the reply, This is the command we are currently using: ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

I will be looking to see any updates in the FFmpeg documentation. Can you please elaborate and provide pointers the right decoding options or the right FF command er can use. Thank you!

ffmpeg.exe -data_field first -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

Got that's fucking brutal. This isn't even asking them to fix a bug, it's just basic help-desk shit.

I'm sure Microsoft has some good devs that are a net benefit to the open source projects they use, but this is not one of them.

One thing is for sure: no other fork will have a name this good.

I hope this encourages children to learn an important life skill that will help them in numerous ways: Piracy.

They really had trouble wrapping their minds around this, didn't they.

My non-expert take on this:

Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage

Don't care. Competition is not damage.

violate copyright laws

Prove it.

plug-ins developed by you [...] that are in violation of our terms of service

The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.

Linux desktop will, most likely, fail for: [...]

  • Developers and sysadmins, because not everyone is using Docker and Github actions to deploy applications to some proprietary cloud solution. Finding a properly working FTP/SFTP/FTPS desktop client (similar WinSCP or Cyberduck) is an impossible task as there a few, but they all fail even at basic stuff like dragging and dropping a file.

This can't be serious.
