\o/ VLC in space

@videolan

also i’m pretty sure this is KDE… not 100% positive, but that taskbar…

@domi @videolan VLC behind the dark side of the moon :)

@domi idk that looks like windows 10 to me

@pj @jeder this is the best resolution i could get shrug

@pj @jeder yeah i’m just artemisposting

@domi @videolan Or they threw a traffic cone into space and took a photo of it ^^

@domi @videolan And unlike Outlook, it works!

@domi FYI Video footage of the Mars rovers is processed with ffmpeg.

@domi @videolan FFmpeg is on Mars.

@domi While it would be pretty cool if it was, I doubt it. That looks like a Microsoft Surface, especially with the pen design.

@domi Also: I used to use a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 long ago and it looks identical to the device in that photo, which is why I say this.

@domi @videolan

says reams about trust.

@domi @videolan would be funny if they landed a Flaschen-Taschen on the Moon next time, so we can control that from VLC 😄

@domi @videolan that cone has gone a long way 💜

@domi @videolan Git rekt, microslop media player.

@domi @videolan VLC worked fine, i'm afraid we cannot say the same for Outlook. Big win for FLOSS

@lea it looks like a Microsoft Surface tablet (with two non-working versions of Microsoft Outlook)
@domi

@domi @pj KDE Plasma's taskbar can have applets anywhere. It also has a show desktop button there by default. @jeder

@domi @videolan @thornbill Next mission to the moon, let's get Jellyfin setup for them!

@tgpo @domi @videolan that was my first thought! Onward and upward! 🚀

@domi @videolan

VLC has been the furthest from Earth as any human being.

@hexaheximal @domi yes, the personal computing devices are Surfaces
And of course they had the Outlook issues a few days ago so...Windows.

I remember when Debian went to space, when did that stop? 😭

@paul Not even Windows can screw up VLC. @hexaheximal @domi

@nzlemming

I beg to differ 🤣

@hexaheximal @domi

@domi @videolan VLC is space-grade

@domi @videolan

@bagder

Do we know if cURL is involved in the Artemis mission?
🙂🤷‍♂️

@simonzerafa @domi @videolan not more than it seems they use Windows 10/11 machines onboard and #curl is part of that...

@domi @videolan In space, nobody can hear you stream.

@domi @videolan inside you, are two outlooks. neither of them are working. But VLC works every time

@domi According to NASA engineer Jason Hutt they're using old Windows tablets: "By using a device ISS was using, we would save money on certifying the hardware. … The operations software on the tablet was developed in Windows for ISS, so we needed a windows tablet."

I understand NASA aquired those devices in 2017 so I'd say that's Windows 10.

@da_667 @domi @videolan little known fact you can open your email as a stream in vlc by specifying the file-url as imap://...

Not really but it sure sounded plausible right?

@domi @videolan might even be the only software that works up there

@avatastic @domi @videolan Is it because the bluetooth connection is broken again?

@da_667 @domi @videolan is this one of those situations where I must have VLC asking the two outlooks a question and invert the answer?

@domi @videolan That's a tiny bit more niche product placement than the Nutella jar. But excellent.

@domi @videolan videoLAN?? no, videoSN

@jim_easterbrook
So is #curl.
@domi @videolan

@domi @videolan

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of VLC. Its 10-day mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new videos and new audio files, to boldly go where no media player has gone before.

@jeder @pj @domi yeah looks like just windows 10(?) set to display labels for taskbar buttons

@paul

The #ISS went [from XP to Debian](https://www.silicon.co.uk/workspace/international-space-station-linux-abandons-windows-for-linux-debian-115869) in 2013 but it think #NASA reverted back to windows a few years ago.
IIRC the life support systems use neither and run on the Russian module whereas the US module uses #ada-based stuff for its core functions.

@hexaheximal @domi

@fun this ragebait was so good it’s still getting replies three weeks later

(… really? did you need to tell me that?)
