I think the tipping point has been reached and this place is longer for me, so I’m going to slowly withdraw. Find me on Bluesky or Mastodon.

@FFmpeg Should file that one under "not every open source project is a business" even if the project is business critical to your company
English
Not everything revolves around business and "value".
Our mission is to play every multimedia file in the world. We are proud to accept hobby contributors for obscure 1990s codecs.
If trillion dollar corporations want things from volunteers, they have to pay for it.

I love how @FFmpeg is conducting themselves online. It's a project that's created billions of dollars in actual value and has captured practically none of it. Their stance seems to be simple: fund substantial development or STFU with the requests. Pretty easy to understand. If FFmpeg had a good leader that balanced itself, captured some of the created value as funding, and scaled the project to its deserved resources, it'd be a different situation; but that's not the case and there's no reason to expect more out of unpaid volunteers.

@MolloyLaurence I’m still here but slowly extracting myself, the friendly community is largely gone so it’s a news and info service for me now. I’ve had enough of the blue tick brigade.

I wonder... let's see who of my followers is still active on this platform? Say 'hi', or just tap the like button.

@recantha I think they are trying to build a branded ecosystem of products presumably with guaranteed compatibility and quality. Also no doubt to improve revenue as they have investors to answer to.

I can't say I was absolutely begging for (checks notes) a 7" 720p screen with mahoosive bezels and a (blinks, confused) USB hub from our favourite fruit-based computer company, but here we are.

@foxy_michael @tfwrail It's seems to be vastly more complex in pricing and zoning than the Metrolink system in Manchester. I'm not convinced it will be easy for anyone to understand.
English
@DougGore @tfwrail This might be a little easier but it may not be correct for future roll out of PAYG. x.com/foxy_michael/s…

💳Pay as you go has now been extended to the Maesteg line.
You can now tap in and out at an additional nine stations along the Maesteg line including Llanharan, Pencoed and Bridgend.
We're continuing the expansion of pay as you go throughout the year.

@LlanharanNeil @tfwrail @huw4ogmore It’s truly terrible for the people of Llanharan, it gets the worst mainline service on the entire TfW network and the fare increased by £25 for a return earlier this year.

@recantha Ethically implemented and used it can be positive and low impact e.g. edge AI tasks like object recognition in cameras. For me I’m increasingly concerned we are training generative AI without remuneration or permission for the source material which is unethical.
English
So... What do we reckon? AI. Bad idea that's really bad for the planet?

30+ year dreams came true at #emfcamp when I won the demo category of @fx_field, best of all my demo was about all you wonderful people who make @emfcamp so magical including you @emfSpiders and @EmfDucks youtu.be/vbVxBFGAl4Q

@CannonFodder @concreted0g ...although you could start to look for connections, a hexagon has six sides and Roku is the Japanese word for six 👀
English
@CannonFodder @concreted0g I know that car park, are you implying Roku is a front for Polyibus? I couldn't possibly comment.

@biglesp You are doing great, you know your topics and write about interesting subjects. I think even the best people go through this. Just remember there are always people interested to read what you write.

@LMcUnderwood That last day was killer, especially while trying to pack up!

Oh yeah, I was fried. It got redder and redder the more North we went 😬😛

@PiWarsRobotics Thanks good to know there’s been a bit of an autism journey in our household so would be good to meet some others

@tfwrail Seems to affect the Mk4s (so basically all TfW services) as well as I'm on the 8.49 to Manchester today and WiFi does not work. I think you have a universal outage.
English
@DougGore I'm sorry about the issues you've been having. I'll make the relevant team aware so that they can look into this ^Gwen
English
@tfwrail is there a problem with train WiFi at the moment? The WiFi on the Cardiff to Manchester route (class 197 services) hasn't been working for a few weeks now
English
@tfwrail I had problems last week with the Tuesday CDF (7.50) -> MAN (11.15) and on Thursday with the MAN (15.30) -> CDF (18.58). I thnk a colleague was on the 7.50 CDF -> MAN today with a similar issue. Seems to be a recurring problem so I don't think it's a specific train issue.
English
@DougGore Hi Douglas, I'm sorry to hear this. Could you let me know what service you are travelling on so that I can fault this with the team ^Gwen
English
@MolloyLaurence Agreed, high pay is justified by the responsibility taken on, the CEO puts their reputation on the line when they head a company so it is only right they take the biggest consquences for their actions if they knowingly and complicitly damage the company they head
English
Every post office CEO that held office since the PO started prosecuting subpostmasters needs to acknowledge and pay for their part in this
In good times they justify their pay packets by pointing out that the buck stops with them
Well, we're asking you to show that now
English
@KeithHodgkin @foxy_michael True, I experienced that with the trams there, it would be nice if pricing in a Metro system is multi-modal, just pick the most efficient transport for your needs.
English
Cardiff Zone Map for When Metro Complete
SINGLE FARES (Current Prices)
Next Station (Less than 2 Zones away) - £2.60
1 Zone - £3.00
2 Zones - £3.60
3 Zones - £4.20
4 or 5 Zones - £5.20 (Max Fare)
Newport Is outside the max fare but priced as if Zone 2 for trains from Ebbw Vale.
