You're tired, you're busy, but you still care about this open source stuff.

But you may not be able to explain and handhold someone on every subtle detail.

Bear in mind, television was the main form of video at the time.

You could get new channels.

In the 90s, having even one new channel when you grew up with four channels, having a fifth or a sixth was a big deal.

And so having...

This satellite service with, you know, dozens, even hundreds of channels was so groundbreaking.

We should emphasize in the 2000s, it was really normal to download a program and it secretly installs some spyware.

It was buried in very faint text or in the license text box that nobody reads at the bottom.

Oh, I will be installing this toolbar and changing all these things.

And it was very common to have to, you know, you install a program to do something at the time of any sort.

Just to be clear, Google are one of the biggest supporters of open source out there.

They have been for a long time.

It's just, I think some things kind of went a bit overboard this time.

So FFmpeg itself, and this is not like a secret, it's on the homepage, you know, the

It processes untrusted data.

There can be security issues when you pass untrusted data.

That's very normal.

But recently what changed was Google started using AI to create security reports on an open source project, Fempeg.

Volunteers had to deal with that.
