I made a highlight of some of the videos I've done over the years. Enjoy!

Still plenty of room for a child, not enough proof.

The difference between someone who’s an alcoholic and who isn’t is self control, and it’s rarely something you can learn to control. Nobody should be shamed for being self aware enough to know they can become addicted to alcohol, just as much should nobody be shamed for having a low tolerance. Especially since the one thing I learned is hangovers are a sign of good health. Not a definitive one - but definitely one. Being able to drink an entire bottle of vodka and go to work completely fine was something I was only capable of when my diet consisted of greasy foods and microwaveable versions of foods that should never be microwaveable. 6 months into fixing my diet I had a single rum drink and within an hour was vomiting profusely and had one of the worst hangovers of my life for nearly two days that no amount of sports drink could fix. These days I plan for drinking which means I do it much less often.

Terrible choice of people to try and use their looks as an insult tbh

Hey @Wendys you know what sauce would go good with these?

I give FFmpeg a lot of shit and still believe in right about my core complaint of the messaging from this account, but this is accurate. I never said those filing exploit reports shouldn’t make patches just that some people are very good at finding exploits but not good at fixing them. For example I reported an issue with BlueDroid where a BLE device could advertise-bomb an Android device causing BlueDroid to stop responding without crashing and requiring a full system reboot for devices that airplane mode doesn’t actually turn off the radio (surprisingly, many were like this) I could explain the cause in detail but definitely don’t have the knowledge to fix an issue like this. That said - I do agree that there’s a limit to how serious you should consider yourself to be to report an issue and not at the very least provide a root cause analysis if you can’t send patches. I do doubt a security risk can be proven without enough understanding to guide someone who IS familiar with the codebase to make a patch quickly. And I do agree that awareness about running anything is inherently insecure - especially open source projects and untrusted files. I’m not sure if the exploit that led to this week of nonsense has been patched but if not I’m tempted to give it a try. Looking at the code I did see some tradeoffs for performance that allow for exploits to be possible, but I can’t be sure addressing those would fix it.

Oh neat

They don’t want you to know this but status codes and stuff are just semantics. Return 666 for all anything cares (with a few exceptions) But if you’re going for REST, status codes are indeed part of the package despite some detractors saying otherwise.

The people who don’t get this often argue “why parse the body when you know it’s a failure? It’s a waste!” You’re receiving both at the same time. It’s a single packet. If you’re not handling the error state by parsing the contents of the body then your error states are bad.

Google literally runs a program to pay people to fix bugs in critical OSS projects. Ffmpeg is explicitly in scope. Anyone can just send a fix and fill out a form and get paid. github.com/google/bughunters… This is all so dumb.

It’s interesting how the compliance team is happy to write the most ruthless things when they find PII handling violations. But get upset when called out about sending patches.

How does the yapper not understand that optics are important? They don’t MEAN FFmpeg is a security risk but this statement alone would be enough to treat it as one.

I’ve never been to a concert where backing tracks were this prominent. Yeah, it made some performances - by very talented musicians - sound bad, but for the most part musicians use the fact they don’t have the studio to support them to their advantage. With this you miss out on key change versions of songs, songs performed with different dynamics, songs presented with different emotion, etc. And sure - electronic artists are the biggest defenders of this, and in some ways they have a point given may have albums with 25 different guest vocalists, but when the performers who performed the song are present, there’s almost always a way. I’ve seen guitarists treat their pedals like bass drum pedals to get certain effects, I’ve seen vocalists use touchscreens to in real time add chorus/echo/etc while performing 100% live. There’s very little that NEEDS a backing track, and when they do, it should stay in the BACK.

Hey @FrameworkPuter if we get @DispairSoftware up to 5,000 followers will you give me 13 maxed out builds, 7 laptops and 6 desktops and a $10,000 Starbucks gift card, please?

“Send patches” is literally asking people to work for free - while complaining that there isn’t enough funding so the current volunteers shouldn’t fix bugs because they’d be working for free.

What the fuck is wrong with so many of you? It’s Halloween and I’m seeing so many tech posts, you fucks are COOKED. Go enjoy life ffs.

You should never under any circumstances report any bugs whatsoever to any project ever. Only PRs or money.

What the heck is going on with my feed

Sure a woman can say this but when I say it I’m told “this is private property” and “you’re trespassing” smdh

It’s getting bad enough that the losses are going to finally hit who actually is responsible for this - for-profit hospitals. Government is speeding up the complete destruction of healthcare. Next year is going to be absolutely horrible and things like single payer won’t be able to help anymore.

There’s two types of game enjoyers - ones who play for the mechanics, and ones who play for the experience. Unless you’re THAT good of a writer, you’re not going to beat most of the people out there making games with experiences. The love of playing games doesn’t die. But mechanics are accessible. It’s way more enjoyable making mechanics than experiences. And I’d say the former is more common, which is why narrative driven games are less common and many have narratives that aim to drive the mechanics, not the other way around. Even when I was managing the development of a game, I took breaks from building to go have experiences. I could try and make a game that feels like Silent Hill or something but I couldn’t build the world and story like Team Silent did, so I played instead of making.
