Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help
After politely requesting a support contract from Microsoft for long term maintenance, they offered a one-time payment of a few thousand dollars instead.
This is unacceptable.
And further:
The lesson from the xz fiasco is that investments in maintenance and sustainability are unsexy and probably won't get a middle manager their promotion but pay off a thousandfold over many years.
You can try to read through https://archive.today . It's a site archiving site, it has a couple of tricks to evade such restrictions. Not the most private one.. but better than visiting twitter directly.
Fair enough. But there’s no way to infer that from the title of this post, nor the bug tracker issue linked. I think OP could have done a better job providing context.
I don't think people understood your joke. This thread is all about MS not reading docs or the comment by the guy helping them. Then you ask a date question like you didn't even see the date on the tweet. Classic! Well done, but subtle.
No, I wasn’t joking. I only see the title and the link to the bug tracker issue. I don’t see a tweet anywhere, maybe that’s on me. (I’m not on Twitter / X). All I see is a link to a bug tracker issue that’s 11 months old. That’s why I think OP could have provided more context. But it’s all good now.
