I don't have to use a perl script to view the contents of a file?
open(my $fh, '<', 'filename.txt') or die "Could not open file: $!"; while (my $line = <$fh>) { print $line; } close($fh);
Sick!

Everything is valid Perl code.
You can also use ffmpeg to convert music and pictures! And to summon the devil into your kernel!
How has BSD never had "Summon the devil into your kernel" as a slogan!?
FFMPG/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, FFMPG plus Linux.
my ass searching up any ffmpeg command every time I wanna run them instead of memorizing it or putting it in a text file to reuse
I do that with yt-dlp
Just remember if you need to do anything with subtitles in FFMpeg, you need to install libass
it for the streets
ffmpeg is wild as far as tools go
Yeah, there are massive projects that serve as a frontend to a subset of ffmpeg features.
Man who memorized the ffmpeg docs: Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of my power.
Like Firefox
(partially kidding)
What AI-generated, non-working, obviously incorrect garbage is this? Also, you want to define this as an alias to type the command 33% faster, too!
alias fc='ffmpeg -c copy -map 0:0 -f data - 2>/dev/null -i '
Amateurs.
Sigh, it's always "2>/dev/null" never "what is your problem 2?"....
I call this part "shut up, tin can, I know what I'm doing".
Sometimes you just don't care about these 42 files find couldn't access. If I don't have permissions to read them, I'm not interested!
bruh! take this, computer!! I didn't want to search them anyway!!!
I do the same thing too all the time
That doesn't work for me, but it also doesnt give me an error
Then it works. Just not in the way you wanted
Well specifically it does not work "to display text files", it just silently exits.
