Re: FFmpeg 6.1 released
#22ffmpeg is absolutely wonderful, but some combination of its originating era, long history, and compatibility commitments (how many convoluted production ffmpeg scripts exist out in nature?) have made its CLI pretty rough. This is maybe "known" to the current audience, but chatGPT is an excellent soundboard for crafting ffmpeg scripts to do pretty much anything - makes the tool about 10 times as accessible to me.
Thank you for mentioning chatgpt, it is great way to get the job done

A lot of that is essential complexity of the problem space - media is HARD: so many different specs, each one interpreted differently by each vendor.
In case you're not aware, though, there has been work on improving the CLI - it was discussed on HN[1] earlier this week, and there's an excellent video[2] linked in that thread with an overview from Anton

#24What 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.
What is the original vision of the internet?
Why do people bring up some vague ideology? Imagine a world without the internet being invented, what a nice world to live now.

#25Are there any good ts/js wrappers for this that make producing animations and transitions a bit easier? I find the cli args syntax hard to work with.
Like pythons moviePy

Effective ways for US military to communicate between missile silos?

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

But Firefox protects you from advertising networks the best. uBlock Origin works best in Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... Sounds like "the original vision of the internet" to me.
You mean the least worst?

And blocking all extensions by default on Firefox mobile.... At least you can create an add-on collection to bring them back but Mozilla is evil nowadays.
