I perfer SMPlayer or just cli mpv, but I'm happy nonetheless.
VLC did come in handy for playing songs on my iPhone.
I really don't like that there's now a separate window for the playlist where the playback scrollbar happens to have moved. Who came out with that stupid idea? I'm playing a video, and if I want to re play a part of it, now I have to go to the other window and grab the scroll from there while looking at the video.
Like sitting on a bike, peddling, then having to get off the bike to carefully make a turn.
America and Americans plastering their flag and "fuck yuuuuh, 'Muricuh!!" on every possible square centimeter (not even gonna use imperial as a reference) never stops being one of the most cringe and constantly proven stereotypes of all time. I have this game where if youtube recommends a channel I haven't seen before and it's an American channel, I count the minutes until the US flag shows up in any way. It's VERY rarely more than one video, no matter the length of videos that channel generally makes. The worst thing is when you find a channel you like and don't think about it, it's just people making videos about stuff they're interested in, then they swivel the camera around and have an American flag the size of the fucking moon hanging on their wall. It's so fucking weird, off putting, brainwashed and deeply stupid.
IDK what's sadder, your ability to troll or the fact that it took you effort to type out all that garbage nobody read.
I am an American and I completely agree, the flag is everywhere. You would think it was required by law, like portraits of Dear Leader in communist totalitarian states, but no, the flag cult is voluntary. "Cringe" is exactly right. Some people just plaster the flag on things as a substitute for any sense of style or design. We've been indoctrinated into the flag cult throughout our childhoods, where there was a flag in every room in our schools, and a coordinated prayer-to-the-flag moment every morning.
I went to Canada in the summer of 2025. In reaction to the insanity from Washington, Canada was experiencing a possibly-unprecedented wave of nationalism, businesses were advertising that they were proudly Canadian, there were even "flag stores" just like we have in the US, but with Canadian flags. In spite of this, Canada had something like 5% as many flags flying in public as the US does. It was possible to be out in public for many minutes at a time without seeing any flags at all. That doesn't happen in the US.
Americans don't understand how propagandized they are.
Edit: Cringe example: The Boulevard of 500 Flags. The notion that it's a memorial to 9/11 is a modern revision, the "Boulevard" actually dates back to the 90s. That is, this ridiculous array was built, by a large group of supposedly grown-up men, before the wave of post-9/11 nationalism.
