Paul is attacking me per usual, funniest thing he did protect me on the devel list, dumb that I did not top post, he misunderstood (see https://www.mail-archive.com/ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org/msg120958.html).

Frankly speacking I dunny why my spamming is considered a problem. Just unsubscribe from trac mailing list, I do edit my comments too, many times, those are not being sent (indeed, https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-trac/2021-August/059551.html), so mailing list is useless. Somebody needed to catalog all the issues anyway, a lot of them were already fixed or duplicates. As I said I mostly do it for Chromium.

As for why he started this, IMHO due to this https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5039#comment:5.

Just an fyi adding 2c worth :-

I have found that user Balling has posted good and very helpful clarifying information in trac in the past.

It would be a shame to lose a person who contributes good information from time to time.

(I am not Balling nor related to that individual and do not know that user)

You clearly have some bad agenda for this project too, Balling is spreading only disinformation here. And almost anywhere where he posts, beside he is already banned on mailing list.

Replying to richardpl:

beside he is already banned on mailing list.

That means nothing. My patches are still being applied even after that. e.g.: fdd45ebf5563564a23e93d6c6bdcc43d481b419c

I did send all patches I wanted to anyway.

You clearly have some bad agenda for this project too

That is just because this project is very VERY broken, but is used by a lot of key infrastructure, including Android and Chrome and even in space. What is worst here is that most patches to fix those problems are just one liners. Like was the case for all nvidia coder problems and eac3 encoder.

Balling is spreading only disinformation here

Compared to you who knows the whole codebase and has patches to almost all files everybody will look like he knows nothing or is outright spreading disinformation. That is not an argument even if it does look like an argument to you.

Um, say what ???????

No, mate, NOT clearly at all, that is a quite terrible mis-reading at the very least.

I have zero agenda, other than to wish ffmpeg thrives.
I do not know you, or Balling, and have nothing to add other than what I said already in the interest of promoting good and useful input to the ffmpeg project.

IIRC you do lots of stuff which I gather is good, so more power to you with that.

Please consider thinking twice before slagging others though.

Doom9 is not the same as this forum, in fact only top level domain is the same. You are delusional, Elon/Paul. Maybe you should actually listen to what Elon is planning to do with Twitter. Will hint: unban all the people leftists banned. BTW, me too, twice. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1968203#post1968203
