- heyoni 7y agoI know right? So many good projects have failed to maintain their integrity and changed for the worst. It’s hard to trust software these days but there are exceptions and VLC is one of them.
- jacquesm 7y agoIt didn't help that at some point on of the main distribution points for FOSS shipped archives stuffed with malware that the authors had no idea about.
