Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
Rust should switch to ffmpeg!
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!
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?
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.
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.
Reminder that Fabrice Bellard, who originally wrote FFMpeg (and QEMU), also made JSLinux, currently based on his other PC emulator TinyEMU and using WASM.
Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.
This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be migrated to Java, so it can run everywhere.
You mean JavaScript so that it does the same thing each time
Not exactly the same thing, but…
Except next to pools, no one should run there
Unless you have scissors. That cancels it out.
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…
J2EE ffmpeg for flip phones
Lies, damn lies, and write once run anywhere™️.
Surely at least one other person knows about qemu-user
Python, for badassness.
What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol
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.
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 ;)
But the message says it was sent on March 31st.
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.
Timezones, probably!
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Well
That checks out for xitter

Are rustaceans cantankerous?
It has rabid fans and rabid haters, much of it is some identity politics shit too. It’s a whole mess
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.
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.
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!
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
