I've submitted a dozen of patches myself to the project on behalf of my job, all of them are under CLA so technically not even mine. Also submitted a few for my own poject @fframes_rust Never been a core maintainer but I visited video dev days last year in Korea and sneaked

All the folks that are running ffmpeg including the one who is behind the account are actually super friendly people. Yes they are cracked af and I would say that they are too much into the technical stuff and much less into the "talking to people" especially publicly.

So here is what I think: Theo found this "offensive" and "harmful" to the project? In what freaking way? Is there any insult going on? Is this funny? yes. Is this rage bati? Clearly yes. Did this guy loose his job or was harmed in any other way? Absolutely fucking not.

He's making assumption that this behavior is only harming the project because they raise a bar for contribution so high and people are afraid to contribute? Absolutely not. It's became a cool achievement to contribute assembly to ffmpeg. And this is amazing. Did you imagine a

The only harm that happened was to Theo's ego who was publicly roasted by ffmpeg by complaining on the VLC. What was your idea of complaining that VLC is outdated? Yes it is. So what? Go use mpv or any other tech who is stopping you.

He's boasting himself SO MUCH for 5k dollars saying that he made for ffmpeg project more "than this fucker ever has" (direct quote) Do you really think that 5k is what makes a difference? Google flew 50 people to korea from all over the world for VDD in 2024. (I had my own

So he thought that if can not use his social credit he can use money. Because the project is clearly running by people making less money than him. Another way to solve the problem in this freaking world. If only you know how I hate this shit. So where is your bounty now? He

You know there is something more important than amount of subscribers and money at the bank. People that have true passion about something are really rare in this world. I'd much better be reading someone who has so much passion about the assembly and C project he's working on

Y'all should be much less sensitive. The world is not made out of marshmellow and sometimes there are people who do the stuff you don't like and you can do nothing about it. You know I hate playwright, you hate ffmpeg. It's okay. This is how this world functioning.

Another quote of him: "we clearly know the shit we're doing". Damn, his ego is larger than his node_modules. You know what, Theo? Fuck you and fuck your AI startup, and fuck all this VC founded AI bullshit. I'd rather die as fucking poor noname than "succeed" and become you.

@neogoose_btw @theo Stopped reading when you said they were super friendly. People keep saying this but you look at the mailing list and they are at each others throat. They go on twitter and they are antagonistic. This is not what friendly people do. Your defense of them makes them look worse.

@neogoose_btw @theo has verbally abused the @FFmpeg admin publicly and tried to indirectly bribe the creators to fire him. If you look at the conversation, @FFmpeg wasn’t mean or abusive. He was just to the point, but Theo didn’t like it and used his influence to abuse others. Why is anybody

@neogoose_btw I agree with all of this. He’s not even that rich, imagine the things he would do he has actual “fuck you” money. Stop making the wrong people famous and rich.

@neogoose_btw @theo Theo loves to pretend like he's a good person. Like so many influencers, dude's got no ego and no class. Just your typical grifter. Good post to share all the history so people can see.

@neogoose_btw This confirms my belief that ffmpeg is based and Theo is a twink

@neogoose_btw @theo WREKT

@neogoose_btw Nah I think Theo nailed it right on the head in his video... buy the freaking hardware.

@neogoose_btw I've heard other stories that the person behind the ffmpeg Twitter account isn't a core maintainer, and that the core maintainer can't even access the Twitter account. Is that true?

@neogoose_btw Wait, he's still seething from last time he got dunked so hard he had to shell out 10k? LMAOOOOOO

@neogoose_btw @theo "Talk is cheap drop patches" Theo: Donates 5 bands 😂

@neogoose_btw We are seeing a textbook demonstration of narcissism. It’s been a useful exercise for everyone to observe see the signs and learn to avoid.

@neogoose_btw @theo Good take. I myself don't want to take sides because I simply don't know enough but I understand your reasoning, thanks for taking the time to explain!

@neogoose_btw Did he untag himself from this post? Haha

@neogoose_btw @theo Thanks for your insight dude. The world doesn't need AI techbros. It needs real engineers that are solving problems efficiently.

@neogoose_btw @theo Based

@neogoose_btw Theo has narcissistic personality disorder, not saying it as an offense to him, it just what it is, he is mentally ill. His video about MongoDB is a prime example of that.

@neogoose_btw @theo Everything well said, I f*cking hate these people and I know I should mind my own business but these people are so disgusting I can't fathom how these people get platform

@neogoose_btw @theo You have articulated everything I was thinking on the matter!

@neogoose_btw Great thread, didn’t have the full picture of what happened !

@neogoose_btw He is a Professional cry baby

@neogoose_btw @theo This is clearly stated, thanks

@neogoose_btw they are always in some drama always

@neogoose_btw Own that fraud

@neogoose_btw Who is Theo in the bread line?

@neogoose_btw @theo this tells you everything, dude has a big mouth

@neogoose_btw How is what you're doing here all that different? Theo and FFmpeg are trying to bury this beef, and you're in your own feels drawing it out, not all that different from Theo at the start of this. This is all dumb internet drama, let it die when the parties stopped being dumb.
