Mr. Satan

I always went with VLC until something got messed up with new laptops nVidia drivers. For whatever reason VLC could not properly use dedicated GPU acceleration with open drivers.

That’s when I tried out MPV. I like it, I like the minimalism, I like the CLI. It’s been working great so far.

For someone more technical MPV, for anyone else I’d still recommend VLC.

I want this response to be higher. This is an excellent take.

While I agree with not buying being better that giving them money. I can’t agree with leadership being smart.

This thing was never going to be profitable. So they either:
a) they’re actively malicious — they were never planning on profiting which means this is basically a pump and dump scheme capable of triggering some form of recession;
b) they’re fucking morons for believing their own fantasies, which judging by their public appearances would track.

Former seems just as plausible, but my bet is on the latter. These AI bro CEOs seem to be woefully average at best.
