no matter what happens they will still have money to sue people

if ai takes my job, good riddance

my biggest problem with episode 8 was that they freed the camels but not the camel jockey slave children

there are worse capitalists to give money to


white americans in the middle of nowhere are imagining dangers because they have nothing else going on and it’s ruining life for the rest of us


thanks for your racist contribution


Racism implies discrimination, white people are not discriminated against, so there is no racism against white people, it simply doesn't exist


we didn’t win World War Two for this shit


I met that guy during a gsoc mentor summit and it inspired me, out of spite, to never install VLC on any device I own


I vouched for this post because I have corresponded with him and he engaged in an in unnecessarily condescending way. What are you referring to by GSOC?



Same experience here and upvoted accordingly. I stopped using/recommending VLC all the way back in 2012 due to Mr. Kempf's appallingly dismissive/aggressive attitude to carefully-expressed constructive feedback from multiple users after a regressive UI change (my handle here was "sillyrat" and then "silly-rat"):

TL;DR: they decided to force the playlist to stay open all the time, thus killing "mini-player" mode; reaction to this was, unsurprisingly, uniformly negative (but expressed politely); Mr. Kempf's response was to attack VLC users; I did an end-run around him by opening a bug ticket so other developers would be made aware of the problem, and Mr. Kempf banned me for doing so; my ticket was approved and addressed by other developers, fixing the issue; Mr. Kempf tried to back-pedal pitifully.


Same. Maybe it's the open source ecosystem that forced him to be overly self confident, to fly above the cognitive noise.


Thats funny, I met him during GSoC too over a decade ago, and he's been on top of the open source game.


I had a quick chat with him at a conference in Munich and I thought he was pretty chill, but I think it was 15y ago.


He is French. Cut him some slack ;-)

/s obviously


oook, but why?


the gestapo is in town


this is truly a strand type game


it is the most based game i've ever played


Good thing it's just fiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46oDDnE1Z6o


based?


He’s saying it kicks ass because it doesn’t pull punches on politics and conspiracy theory discussion and analysis.


While still not treating its audience like idiots. A modern game with political undertones would be much more in your face in a us vs them kinda way and unable to deal with any sort of nuance, just like our political discourse.
