Does anyone know how to report bugs in VLC?

They have a gitlab, but it requires its own account, and then confirmation, and then … fuck I can’t use this account wihout 2-faction-enshittification, and now that I know I can’t use it, I can’t delete it without 2-factor enshittification.

On Linux, at least with Cinnamon, the app follows accessibility settings to disable Desktop Effects.

On MacOS, it ignores analogous accessibility settings to Reduce Motion, and animates resizing the window.

Perhaps, in his masterful strategy, Putin will send a battalion of these to Ukraine. That would be very :laughing:

Officers had shocked him with a Taser and pinned him as he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe. Now he sat on the ground with hands cuffed behind his back and took in oxygen through a mask.

Then, officers moved Jackson to his side so a medic could inject him with a potent knockout drug. “It’s just going to calm you down,” an officer assured Jackson. Within minutes, Jackson’s heart stopped.

Starlink emerges as fresh battleground between Musk, Brazil

BRASILIA/SAO PAULO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Tensions between Brazil and Elon Musk’s business empire ratcheted up further as the country’s telecoms regulator threatened to sanction his satellite broadband company Starlink hours after its top court stood behind a controversial decision to ban social network X from the country.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also backed the top court’s Judge Alexandre de Moraes’ decision to suspend X. The judge found that X allowed postings of hate messages and falsehoods about the country’s electronic voting system that undermined Brazil’s democracy.

Just like having everyone have real names only has prevented all bad actors on social media sites.

Biggest stumbling block here isn’t availability of GPUs (like the article suggests), but rather, trying to define what “good behavior” is.

…safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity…

Referring to nuclear energy as “carbon-free” is like referring to candy which is 99% corn syrup as “fat free.”
