I found the first 30 minutes pretty boring. Fortunately it picked up some speed after they had been pruned. For some reason the fight scenes (maybe apart from their attack on giant ant-man) didn't catch me...maybe because almost everybody was unkillable anyway...

If you don't name the ad the app creator can't contact his ad provider and change something about it either...

So when vt-enc only creates ffmpeg commands why is VT a dependency for the whole prpject?

An alternative: https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/

Provides a web interface to generate ffmpeg commands (works on every platform).

Out of interest: What does VideoToolbox do in that context? I found nothing in the readme that would require anything else than just ffmpeg. Or is it just the compiling of a custom ffmpeg build that is VT specific?

I'm just making fun of the MCU's recent announcement that Robert Downey Junior is playing Doctor Doom in some upcoming movies and also the inclusion of Doctor Doom among other Marvel characters in Fortnite.

The MCU advertisement tie-ins are really getting out of hand...

The data source is described pretty well. If you think the US should score lower this is your personal experience and not backed up by the data.

Someone complaining that Google chose "privacy over functionality" was not on my bingo card...

I think you have realized that every comment here was about your decision not to use Git. I don't think there is much more to say about this...

You don't have to. Absolutely not.

But: As a potential user it provides some additional features your solution lacks. I can easily fork or clone your repo and change things if I need to. If I think it benefits the project I can easily offer these changes back to you, if I don't I can still profit from future development on your side and incorporate my changes into it. I can very easily check what has changed between two versions without relying (trusting) your changelogs or performing a manual diff.

But most importantly it is a matter of trust. Not so much trust in your intentions and the possibility of malicious code (Git won't prevent that), but it obfuscates your code unnecessarily making it harder to continue if you at some point decide to stop maintaining it or even detect vulnerabilities as it is not easily accessible without knowing where to look for it.
