18:42:16 <tomman> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860492 two sides of the same coin:
18:42:44 <tomman> 1) did people actually bothered using Theora in the real world? (and when I say "people", I mean "non rabid FOSS nerds hosting videos of their conferences")
18:43:01 <tomman> 2) "We're removing it because Chrome did it first" is a stupid excuse, as usual
19:01:24 <jonadab> FLAC gets a lot of use, but I don't know as much about Theora.
19:02:03 <jonadab> Honestly, I don't think a web browser needs to support every video format people use.  THat's what media players are for.
19:03:31 <jonadab> Unless someone knows of a substantial video-stream-hosting website that uses it, I can't see users caring to view Theora content in a browser.
19:03:45 <jonadab> I mean, somebody somewhere will want to, for the same reason people use Word to send email, but.
19:58:32 <therube> 2) - the answer to everything :-)
20:00:06 <therube> 1) ogg vorbis audio, yes, theora itself, can't say i've run into that.

20:41:54 <tomman> I still believe that videos do NOT belong to web browsers, but to actual media players
20:42:22 <tomman> it was a bad idea in 1998, and remains a bad idea in 2023, but apparently kids have got used to it so much that I'm now deemed a old grumpy boomer dinosaur
20:42:47 <tomman> https://mastodon.social/@jwz/111328891337299925 well, apparently JWZ doesn't share my opinion, so *plonk* him
21:13:10 <frg_Away> tomman I like to watch trailers, previews and some repairt or other tips in the browser. But for actual content longer than a few minutes not my cup of tea.
