  So proud of FFmpeg and VLC project ; I want news like this everyday ! Scavenging the good stuff from AI and putting itt to good use, we need more of this ! Next time automatic translation integration from AI models and we don’t need to worry about the dredge of syncing subtitles with videos, one button compilation process and woosh ! -> in fact “on the fly” means no need for compilation, it is even better than I thought 🤩

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Long article, but interesting in the end: quote “”“Economists critical of Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement recall another event, the Suez Crisis of 1956, that broke the back of the British pound. The military attack on Egypt was poorly planned and badly executed and exposed British political incompetence that sank trust in the country. The pound fell sharply, and its centuries-long position as the dominant trading and reserve currency crumbled.”“” I did not know about the british pound superiority after ww2, anyone ?
