    FFmpeg doesn’t deserve to be such a tiny block. Nothing else comes close to matching its stability and simplicity. There’s a reason it’s practically part of the foundation for all media software out there.

    I like how this implies Twitter storage is encoded in YouTube videos which are really just hosted on PornHub.

      Create a FUSE library to use that as backing storage for a filesystem, and you can make use of the infrastructure for free cloud storage. Maybe twityouhubfs.

    PORNHUB

    It’s Pornhub, like https://pornhub.com/. One of the biggest (if not the biggest) porn site on the planet, used by millions if not billions. There is nothing wrong with watching porn if you feel like it. What you do in your own home is your own business. Just don’t wank too much, or you are going to have health issues. Which are also totally normal and you should just go talk to your doctor, they will not be surprised or shocked, it is literally their job to deal with stuff like that.

    I feel the world is going crazy. Shoving all of this stuff under the carpet isn’t helping anyone and won’t make it go away. Half of the time I can’t understand my young niece and nephew because they speak in this code language, evolving all the time so they can talk about normal stuff young people talk about and stay ahead of the big censor machine. And often it’s censored so poorly, everyone can still read it, like what was the point then?

    Why do people not remake or edit the censorship out of the memes? I usually do that because fuck advertisers and I’m not posting them on those shitty sites

    Though FFmpeg is not really a project ‘thanklessly maintained by one person’ (anymore).

    Pornhub being the foundation of the internet may be seen as controversial by some.

      Maybe not specifically PH but porn actually always was the driving force for the net since day 1. We don’t have high speed net now because someone needed to download a linux-distro quicker. Or google harder. YouTube and vimeo and such came waaaaaaay later. There also were no social media where people needed to upload large dog-pics. It was porn. Everyone wanted their tits to download NOW not somewhere in the future.

      And I vividly remember the times where you had to wait for a long while to see your image grow line by line until you finally maybe saw said tit, and it surely - and hopefully - wasn’t a bird 😁

      I have no studies at hand but I’d bet part of my left nut on that theory. Hence I found that image concluding.

      Unironically, a lot of tech improvements started to make/view porn better.

      Example: 3D models improvements.

        I remember the first time I saw the phrase “streaming video” was a website called “teen steam” (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.

        I’m sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that “streaming” was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.

          Haha I remember that time too well. Luckily I had a CC and I bought everything on the net back then and was so fascinated by it. Typing a number in and getting stuff. I ordered crap from the other side of the world, it was incredible. Yes, porn included. How could one resist that temptation back then, I was 12 or so 😁

              Might’ve been 14, I don’t really remember exactly. And it was the CC attached to my company’s bank-acc so the bank wasn’t that nitpicky. It were simpler times in many aspects. But the fascination of online-shopping only grew slightly less great in my 30s 😁

    I’m actually amazed by how the Pornhub and Xvideos players, after all this time, are still better than the Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok players, like it’s not even comparable. The way people can just accept whatever slop any corporate will feed them is just insane to me…

      maybe I’m missing out because I don’t watch content on pornhub, but how good does a video player need to be? it’s a video player, seems like a solved problem to me.

        • no ads or sponsor crap (sponsor only if sponsor is <5s and only at the start of vid)
        • buffering is efficient and quick
        • subtitles available in widescreen, small etc
        • can change volume and resolution
        • can be judged by community with a non-karma system
        • little to no algorithm or AI slop
        • can custom select videos (by date, popularity, tags, or whatever)
        • peer to peer, decentralised and FOSS
        • privacy friendly
        • can download, usable offline
        • none of that copyright bullshit

        In short, a no-nonsense normal video player without a profit motive.

        Iirc PH was first with the thumbnail pop up when hovering over the timeline. They also had the “waveform” thing of where users watched the most. Sure a video player is just a video player. But all the extra features like changing quality, playback speed, buffering tech, subtitles, and so much more really add up to a better experience.

        Decent buffering, decent scrubbing with thumbnail preview, double tap to skip 10 sec forward or back, proper fullscreen on desktop, and orientation on mobile. That’s just to cite the very least. Imagine how good the YouTube player is, and how smoothly it works 90% of the time. Pornhub works that smoothly 100% of the time, with 90% of the features.

        TikTok doesn’t even let you scrub, at all.

          I’m a seeker. When I’m on mobile and I double tap and instead of going back a few seconds it pauses and unpauses, or changes from full screen or something, or worst of all “likes” the video, I have literally left websites before and been like “I’ll find this somewhere else”. I cannot stand having to wing it with a tiny scrub bar under my thumb.

          A button that skips back is fine, but often this comes without a skip forward which is sometimes annoying.

          When my phone is in portrait for browsing, and then I hit full-screen on a landscape video, I expect it to rotate for me, rather than showing the video the same size it already was but with huge black bars above and below. Some sites do it, it’s not technically impossible, figure it out.

          And then never use TikTok 😛

            I mean, I agree that in an ideal world, people would just not use TikTok, and let it die. But they use it, because it hijacks their dopamine response, it uses pavlovian and skinnerian conditioning to trap people into cycles of behavioral control, and they don’t know or care enough to stop using it. It’s literally the same thing a drug like weed does to your dopamine receptors.

            And you could say “just don’t use it yourself”, the problem is this mass compliance leaks onto every other platform. Stories/shorts were a Snapchat issue, now they’re an internet issue. Everyone is getting brainwashed, and as a result, we get shit software spilling over from their shit platforms.

            Maybe I got a little too doomer with this one, but how could I not, when taking about modern day social media…

        Sure, maybe in the same way that the Ford Model T-500 is a solution to the problem of automobiles.

        Pornhub is a car from the 201Xs. And most other media players are varyingly from 1960 and 2025, i.e. out-of-date and over-engineered.
