As is fediverse tradition: it's more important to get the final word in and block the person you're talking to than to actually discuss anything.

You were the one doing the condescending 'smart guy' labelling and making assumptions about how I'll 'be good either way in film' as though artists in the film industry are somehow unaffected by AI.

If you fork an open-source project because you have a moral disagreement with the developers and then you pull upstream changes... what exactly is the point?

That's not taking the project in a new direction. If the project you're pulling from benefits from 'blood money' your fork does too.

It's convenient that the companies we're trying to avoid through our use of open-source software simply have to involve themselves in order for us to start friendly firing on ourselves and our alternatives.

Converting and resizing a video should be called, "interdimensional transcoding." Obviously we'd have to change it when #ffmpeg gets cross-multiverse quantum codec support, but it'd be fun to say in the meantime.
