FFmpeg 6.1 released

What a fantastic project. It’s FOSS like this that makes the world go round. If only the original vision of the internet had been fulfilled, we’d have hundreds more projects like it.

There are hundreds more projects like it. Projects like GIMP, ImageMagick, Apache, curl, GCC, LLVM, Firefox, Thunderbird, KDE, Linux, the BSDs, etc., etc.

There are many massively useful things available as free and open source software.

Definitely not. It certainly no longer belongs in "the original vision of the internet" category. Not when it wants to be a part of evil forces seeking to police the internet.
