I unironically would rather FFmpeg be in charge of, well, anything instead of Musk.

FFmpreg would be even better.
Excellente!! Soon my 64kbps mp3 file from FrostWire can be converted to 320 kbps with 96kbps quality!
April first, innit
Man April first escaped me completely. Nobody tried a single joke on me this year.
Not American. People seem to be just getting more and more tired regardless of country.
Finally, something I can get behind.
Checks calendar
Well, shit.
Probably the only good April Fool's joke I saw anywhere this year. Stuff is bleak.
Not sure if I get the joke, is FFmpeg considered slow? That's the only angle I can think of for the joke to work... am I missing something?
I believe you’re overthinking it. The only relation to the project is likely that they have assembly language developers on the team to help implement accelerated format conversions.
DOGE said they're going to rewrite the existing SSA code, which is done in COBOL, to modernize it, and everyone is pointing out how fraught with peril that is. This is saying they're going to do it in assembly, which is what we do when we need highly efficient code, like for a resource-constrained real-time control system, but is also much more challenging to program. The chance of rewriting a giant COBOL application in Assembly, and not making a whole mess of errors, is really small. And it would be very hard to maintain.
Also assembly is even older than COBOL.
Assembly isnt a single language though. I could write assembly for riscv or a recent arm ISA and that would be quite new.
I wondered if maybe "assembly" gets used to mean x86 but apparently thats a bunch newer than COBOL so I dont think Im being pedantic :)
It's a genuine xeet(?).
Man let's just stick to tweet. This whole x thing is too silly even for April fools.
They should rewrite it in Rust.
Until goobleblobble comes out, then we have to rewrite in that. And so on, until the end of time.
It's not memory safe.
What was the language again?
