I am the main developer fixing security issues in FFmpeg. I have fixed over 2700 google oss fuzz issues. I have fixed most of the BIGSLEEP issues. And i disagree with the comments @ffmpeg (Kieran) has made about google. From all companies, google has been the most helpfull & nice

When did LA turn more insanely lefty than SF?

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

This is kinda my reaction too.

1/ This chart has been making the rounds lately, and since I am an American and have both worked in a mental hospital and been a criminal defense lawyer, I have opinions. The idea that insane people belong in institutions came under 2-pronged attack in the 1950s and 1960s.

⚠️CAUTION: SHOCKING CONTENT The cover-up is always worse than the crime... and this crime is pure evil. This 2-minute clip comes from the verbatim film 'The Grooming Gangs Cover-Up,' which details the heinous acts done to children uncovered at trial. @elonmusk @DominicFrisby

If you have any principles beyond “big corporation bad”, then if you have sympathy for FFmpeg then you should for Chrome on this point as well. (4/4)

But, each extra format is extra attack surface. And for rare formats the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. This is why I totally understand the Chrome team’s controversial decision to phase out XSLT. https://t.co/JT3jLlhFF8 (3/4)

But the codec is apparently enabled by default, so if left unfixed it would have made users vulnerable. This dynamic’s why browsers are reluctant to support niche formats. It would be neat if they supported every image format ever, so you could post any image on the web. (2/4)

I’m going to risk crossing the streams of two recent controversial issues in the hopes of making a point. FFmpeg is frustrated that they have to deal with security vulnerabilities in an obscure niche codec. And they are right! Feels like the juce isn’t worth the squeeze. (1/4)

I clicked through a few posts on Fil-C to read the comments and now my feed is full of Rust discourse.

“not the first Nobel winner to see his US visa stripped away in the wake of Trump’s return to office.” Pathetic, embarrassing and destructive of the US brand.

It's kind of amazing that OpenAI is getting away with giving away a nonprofit's resources for private benefits. They wrote such pretty sounding words but it's hard to see how it's legal or ethical.

The GOP's current version of "capitalism" is central planning with MAGA branding.

This new article from the NYT is one of the most blatant misrepresentations of the AI water issue I've seen. A ton of pictures and close-ups of faucets run dry and people suffering from drought, with a subtitle saying "When Microsoft opened a data center in central Mexico last

My political inclinations are libertarian so I haven’t loved either party in a while but Trump is making me go full Resistance Lib. The sheer flurry of chaotic, malicious, corrupt, and just plain stupid actions is too much. The few times he does anything good he TACOs out of it.

Sen, Ted Cruz: "I  can also assure you that were this a Republican president, a Republican Attorney General, and a Republican IRS that were targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus

If you were upset about the cops in the UK showing up at people's doors over an allegedly racist tweet, I hope you're also upset over this. (Unlike the UK, we have, thank God, a First Amendment)

🚨 A Tennessee resident has been arrested for posting memes about Trump. Yes, you heard that correctly.

Good thing we're not weaponizing the Justice Department any more.

Trump 2 is everything resistance libs said Trump 1 would be.
