Looking forward to VLC 4. It (the beta) can handle playlists that are like 2000-4000 entries long in a second vs VLC3 which has a parser that is slow like molasses.
it's been 2-3 years and my usecase has changed, but it would be great to see this backported to vlc3.
What anime are you watching that requires a playlist that large? I only assume it's an anime because what else could possibly have 2000-4000 episodes?
I was assuming audio tracks rather than video.
Nah, not anime. It's not playlists of a single thing is all I'll really say about it.

even anime honestly doesn't typically get that big, I think the only one that maybe gets there is Dragonball? like, all of Dragonball. One Piece will probably end up there, but it just broached the 1000 mark recently.

The hero we need.
Gonna be real honest here, I would have taken that in a heartbeat. It's an open source project, I could disappear with my money and the project could be continued from a different fork without ads. The only thing you're really sacrificing is your reputation and with enough money I don't care.
and with enough money I don't care.
Most people are like you.
Which is precisely why humanity will be just another of many dead end evolutionary cul-de-sacs in Earth's natural history.
I've come to peace with that, but this is a nice microcosm of the core reason. We can do better, we know better, but at the end of the day, almost all of us will just take the animalistic dopamine rush of winning.
That is a very western, independent cultural paradigm you have there. Western culture and values are not shared by everyone in the west let alone all humanity.
Only a few of us have strong narcissistic and anti-social personality traits, but they are vocal and usually end up in positions of power.
I would argue the vast majority of humanity throughout history is more selfless and willing to sacrifice and work towards a goal than you give us credit for. Look at the big picture and think about how much innovation has come from a place not driven by profit potential but for THE potential to go further.
When I look at the world and to the East, I see just as many people in suits lording over people slaving for very little. I see Asian factory managers getting bonuses for inflicting draconian conditions on their factory workers to the point of suicides. I see eastern governments sending their citizens to brainwashing camps to make governing them a little easier. I see the rare society that does find homeostasis with its environment being decimated by societies of people with a selfish interest in the land they sit on time and time again.

I don't think this hypothetical is about winning so much as never having to worry about your needs being met again. The calculus changes completely for a lot of people (not optimistic enough to say most) if that's not part of the equation.
Right, but at cost to others, and attempting to minimize the cost to others trying to rationalize it. That's the point. Call it winning, call it succeeding, call it whatever you like, its me over us. The idea of accepting your benefit at the loss of numerous others tears people en masse down. Maybe another branch would become as popular, maybe not, but such choices are presented frequently in our civilization, and the choice is usually to take the win at other's expense.
Regardless, we are what we are and on a long enough time scale what we are will destroy us. That's not as sad to me as all the other creatures we'll take with us, but even we won't be able to kill all terran life, so the Earth will recover from us. Life will go on after we successfully fuck ourselves trying to fuck one another. I find solace in that.

Its GPL anyways. If he ever does accept, it would be sad but not a catastrophe.
