I once commented on Reddit that I'd suck the dev of vlc off until he kicks his feet and curls his toes for providing us with such well made software. Someone tagged him because of course he's on Reddit too and he just replied "I'm in France :)". I still think about that sometimes.

I rarely chip into crowdfunding campaigns, but if you made one for this purpose, I might be inclined to do so.

Let's send this man to France. This is some charity I can get behind.

From their username and domain, they might not be that far from France. This could be a small enough expense for lemmy to crowdfund.

Yeah, I think they're from a German speaking country, so not far indeed.

Hi I'm VLC, I'm free and awesome but for some reason over the next few months will take longer and longer to launch until it becomes a problem.

Yeah, what's up with that? Been noticing it takes forever lately

I love VLC. It can play anything. Plus, in the Linux package versions I can disable network access from the process and even take away write access for the entire filesystem.

There’s a mobile version. It has some issues, but it’s cool.
