vlc i will never blame you for anything because you have never done anything wrong… in your life… ever
VLC: I know that and I love you
Hahahahahahaja
Omg, if that isn’t the VLC logo, it should be!
from what I see, the onus of fixing it lies on the Microsoft side. And from what I know about Microsoft, they won’t do a thing.
Are we just going to pretend Microsoft didn’t do this in purpose? They see VLC as a far superior product to their own software, so they purposely made it run like shit to make morons like Blow here switch back to media player. This is pretty poor behaviour from what is supposed to be an operating system.
And the general public is too lazy to educate themselves away from microsofts FUD.
Using VLC to play music. Never thought of that before
I use it to play literally anything that has audio or video and it has never failed me
I thought about using it to play music a couple of years ago, but it lacked gapless playback which ruined some albums for me, so I discarded it.
It is my music player on Android actually. Not because its so good but because every other OpenSource player I tried lacked something for me that VLC had. Or they were just heating up my phone for no reason while just playing music, which is kind of a massive no for me.
it works good enough in a pinch, honestly
I mostly use it for CDs when not watching videos/DVDs since I know like zero other software I can use that isn’t specifically for windows or can detect the CD in my USB disc drive.
Works like a charm, minus the maybe second, second and a half, audio glitch at the beginning of a song.
i watched like 10sec video with that dude (Blow) and immediately concluded he s a moron. Idgaf about his technical achievements
What a horrendously stupid tweet. I find everything that follows is stupid and problematic too.
VideoLAN calling them disrespectful, when it was more than that. Someone saying it works for them on Linux, so it must be Windows (not evidence, could still be VLC). Article suggesting Defender exclusion, without mentioning the security implication. Original person doubling down, saying VLC should or has to fix the Defender issue (like they did for an AMD crash).
Insane…
Not sure about VLCs responses, but the original post and several other comments ( including the article ) read like ragebait. I’m tired of ragebait, man.
you are correct, everything in thatvarticle ia stupid. but his first tweet was being more if a dick than stupidity. he enjoys being a dick.
i have a better response to him thn anyone else gave. vlc is orovided as open source , a community effort. for a oerson who not only coded ebtire game by himself but also created a programming language., he can pull down vlc and fix his problem… if its so fixable.
imagine being an established dev, and a creative one at that, and making the basic mistake of thinking a software issue you encountered is the norm for everyone, and it must first be the software’s fault
Wasn’t Blow the guy who quit game development because he couldn’t take any criticism and would rail on people in public forums for not liking his hit game?
No, that was Fish who made Fez, announced Fez 2, then crashed out after some poor communication on his part and left.
Watching him on the indy game movie made me never want to play his game. He seemd like such a jerk.
Stop using Microsoft products
If there is a question between if an issue is caused by a free and open source project, or a paid product that is made by one of the biggest companies in the world. I always place blame on the paid product by default, and I start troubleshooting from there.
Johnathan Blow made a couple of truly fascinating video games that I thoroughly enjoyed, but goddamn he’s such an obstinate self-righteous dick.
Yeah he blows. Pun intended
Angry upvote
When your system ram use rivals Linux you may talk, until then gobble that micro dick
