Most devs must be above 13-15yo, before you’re not really supposed to have a bank account

Also, it’s a bit light to say that they’re stricly saying taking advantage of people because only because of their fees.

If I have to think of a game that really takes advantage of children, I would say Counter-Strike. Fuck Valve 👀

They’re taking advantage of everyone with their shitty “dev exchange rates” thing, but it’s known info at this point.

Sadly yea, that’s bad behavior, but I fail to see how it’s specifically taking advantage of children.

Why would Debian be the only one left for desktop?

Unless maybe you want something clean with nothing on it

What’s wrong with it?

I believe Linux versions of ACs are easier to bypass

Word issue, not windows issue 🤔

I guess underaged people can’t earn money because it will be child labour… 🤦

Roblox isn’t only about “shitty clones”. Just let people play whatever they want. Just let passionate underaged devs gain money instead of companies.

Hmm I was a bit afraid of that, guess I have to try and see

I won’t upload really long media though

Sure but people need to speak up about this issue. It’s something disgusting any no one cares

vb-cable is proprietary, sadly :-/

And yea, by client I meant the viewers

It’s mandatory, sadly. What you’re asking for would require using other software on different devices, and wouldn’t be easy to use for end users.

I guess I never found out how to do that. I’ve been using VLC for many years and never found a way to encode a file to something else, change its bitrate, and save to disk. It doesn’t work on iOS for sure.

They’re doing great

BUT we must remember that Valve runs a lucrative and immoral casino open to minors, and destroys lives this way

VLC is anything but intuitive and I’m pretty sure you can’t encode media and save it on your computer, and for sure not on mobile devices

Mhh, yea that seems like the obvious workaround, but not the ideal solution

Yea, I’ve used it a fair bit before, and it’s pretty good at doing UI, the one thing that I dislike haha

My process is pretty much pointing out and fixing the small mistakes the model does. A lot of people hate AI but it’s honestly a game changer.

must allow web uploads

I don’t want to be an asshole but have you read what I wrote?

Tdarr 👀 I saw you

I haven’t found anything that suits my needs as stated.

The main reasons why I need to transcode:

• some software don’t support anything other than X formats/codecs (discord doesn’t display previews for VP9 files for example…)
• some devices don’t support specific codecs natively
• I want to fulfill all use cases. If I ever want to do something that’s not covered by handbrake (ex: can’t FTP to the server and upload the files I want to transcode).
• I want simplicity: avoid complicated bridges and installing many things
• i want it to be easily shareable and accessible: the client shouldn’t have to download an app, a software. Web browsers are easy and everyone has one. Normies use those online converters for a reason: they’re lazy and can’t be bothered to install things. They’ll take the easier route
• if a file takes too much space (ex: on my phone), I want to be able to do encode it to HEVC without having to install software or sending it to my computer)
