Both are good tools for the job. I use mpv but VLC just works for 99% of use cases. mpv is best for working with terminals, vlc is best for GUI and is consistently easy on any operating system, even android.
I do not owe kindness to those who oppress others. I will assume good faith and intelligence until proven otherwise.

Yeah but clearly corporate knows that wasting paper and your time is better, we’re the problem to them.


It’s not Tankie to admit aspects of reality. China is doing some things well. China has spent the last 20 years investing in itself, America has spent the last 20 years investing in other countries for a possible ROI for the military-industrial complex.
What would be Tankie would be to then extrapolate from that and say they’re actually the best state in the world and anyone who says otherwise is a imperialist brainwashed pigdog.


And it’ll blow up half way into the sky because it was sent up by SpaceX.


It’ll effect things as much Conservapedia does. A laughing stock to gawk at and nothing more.
I bet by the end of next year it’s dead.
You’re doing it again. You’re not acting in good faith.
You’re welcome. They seem to think they’re doing a service while being a dipshit debate troll.


Watch I’m sure he’ll play the card of every conservative, “this is crony capitalism, real capitalism wouldn’t do this.”


That’s right. Capitalism only works on paper, real capitalism has never been tried.
As always, people are weird and then act like you’re the weirdo for being normal. OP is a shitheel with propaganda.
Much louder and more annoying about what they hate. .ml sticks to their same places. .world then invades and has its trolls stalk accounts into debates.
Hmmm? Only the unemployed can make jokes? Are all commenters jobless too or only posters? Or everyone but you is jobless? I’m so curious how you came to this conclusion!

Well they don’t have a job so to them, starting weird fights about instances is their job.
Yes they do, that’s how they operate. It’s just showing off they don’t like new viewpoints.
Yeah we’re somehow Tankies for wanting democrats to try harder and saying we need to do more then vote.


This is a very well made list, thank you!


Mine is the Aperture Science logo!


Also got banned from db0 for calling out their recent trend of being tankie sympathizers and hosting .ml users to subvert instance blocks.
You’re not banned from here, we’re not Tankie sympathizers, and I still want at least proof of one account being an active alt of a .ml user. You’ve said this for over 2 weeks and not given any citations.
Edit: still not proof given after 2 weeks, and now over 2 days for this place. SS is just lying about us, because she got butthurt about being banned from one place for her behavior.


Yep, it’s a .world user.
Blu-rays are purposely made to be combersome to read and use without explicit permission from the Blu-Ray commission.
Blu-rays aren’t DVDs, each release has a unique encryption on it that you either break, or use a program to scan and break for you with public listings of known keys.
VLC would need to ask the Blu-Ray Group to open up their software on how encoding and decoding works, and they never will.
Sony gets a cut for every single Blu-ray, it’s why you need to install the app for Xbox when the gaming console can naturally play Blu-ray discs for games. Microsoft doesn’t want to fork over more money to it’s main competitor, and part of why they backed HD DVD.
Is it VLCs fault? Not really. If they had a lot of money and man hours they could maybe work something out. But DVDs are child’s play to figure out compared to Blu-Rays. That’s on purpose.
