I hate to be a complainer, but Devine's audio is kind of soft.

Can I recommend a good #ffmpeg command to boost audio levels?

ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -filter:a "speechnorm=e=50:r=0.0001:l=1" audio-normalized.m4a

...usually does wonders for podcasts that I get from the web that are too soft or too dynamic (one speaker considerably louder than the other), and it runs quite fast.

Thanks to both of you for everything! :)

I maintainer di FFmpeg denunciano le Big Tech: usano il codice open source senza pagare, mettendo a rischio il progetto. #FFmpeg #Google #OpenSource

Imagine being one of the most valuable companies on earth, making billions thanks to open-source software like #ffmpeg, without contributing financially to it, without contributing to its codebase, and even expecting those unpaid volunteers to fix bugs for you in a timely fashion as if they were your own employees.

Imagine contributing to a huge piece of software like ffmpeg that works behind the scenes on literally any device that can either play, record or transform media, a project that has become a critical piece of our digital infrastructure, and doing so unpaid, uncredited and stressed out by companies that make billions thanks to your work.

This is the current state of open-source today.

A bunch of burned out, unpaid and uncredited volunteers building free stuff in their spare time that trillion-dollar freeriders feel entitled to use without contributing back.

ffmpeg developers are right. Either #Google contributes back, or they won’t even look at their bugs anymore.

And, in an ideal world where free software licenses weren’t written by good Samaritans, either trillion-dollar companies contribute back, or they shouldn’t be allowed to use free software for profit.

20 years ago I used to have discussions with fellow engineers whether open-source would have won over commercial software.

Now I can firmly say that open-source won. There’s no doubt about it. Linux, Apache products, Python, ffmpeg, curl etc. power all of today’s technological stack. But it’s not the win that I expected. It’s the kind of win that happened because corporations realized that open-source is just a way for them to cut on internal engineering costs.

｢ Many in the FFmpeg community argue, with reason, that it is unreasonable for a trillion-dollar corporation like Google, which heavily relies on FFmpeg in its products, to shift the workload of fixing vulnerabilities to unpaid volunteers. They believe Google should either provide patches with vulnerability reports or directly support the project’s maintenance ｣

Google added one of my FOSS projects (textdistance) into their fuzzer (OSS Fuzz) [1]. This thing sends auto-generated bug reports to my personal email. Needless to say, I received zero contributions or funding from Google or any other major corporation in any of my projects.

@sjvn This is off topic but why is #ffmpeg still active on fascist Xitter and not at all on the fediverse? This isn’t painting them in sympathetic light.
