  • There are a bunch of free channels on the internet that some TVs can just stream without a dedicated app. These channels are supported by ads like cable/whatever channels, but not locked behind a subscription. VLC is supporting whatever formats they use to allow (or make it easier; IDK) people to watch them if they want.

    The other part is that they’re working on web assembly to allow sites to use VLC as their embedded video player.







  • If they were to do that, and have cross platform purchases/saves (provided I could make it work reasonably on Linux), I would be way more likely to think about buying games from them.

    The PS5 is a nice piece of hardware. You can do a lot of stuff better on PC, but the loading tech is still legit. But I’m not buying multi platform games on PS5 over Steam for a bunch of reasons (steam deck being the biggest, steam input being another, just generally the fact that my PC gives me a lot more future options and modding potential).

    Even if they did the UWP locked file shit, being able to bring games from PS5 to Steam Deck to desktop would make them pretty competitive. And I’d start using them regardless for the library I already have.
