As the title says videos are not playing after updating to macOS Ventura beta 1

I'm pretty sure when it reaches Ace Ventura it will be playing fine

[guigirl]

@npro I was gonna write an ironic mocking riposte to it last night, but then chose not to, coz i've dealt with that person before & know it's a waste of time. They don't seem to grasp irony at all ... i mean, ffs they didn't even realise the utter irony implicit in my "very reasonable price" joke, unbelievable!

[guigirl]

@npro I've not yet read that actual thread [muesli done, now gotta go make my coffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, first], so i only saw what shows in the hover-popup on your link. Clearly once i have my coffee i also need to searX about Ventura, as i've not heard of it before, & atm have no idea what it is.

This post might be a placeholder, pending my imminent new learning [Sir Bedevere]...

Soliloquy

Is t...1...m a lost confused neophyte, or a troll? Originally i felt the former, but after the past ~36 hours i now lean quite heavily towards the latter.

Hope like hell that this time i did not stuff up, & only used my inside voice for this entire...

Impressive going above & beyond call of duty, = +10 Brownie Points.

@Pathduck said in Can't sign into account on website:

for some reason they seem most preoccupied with discussions on which distro is teh best

Oh, peeps like that are simply the worst; absolute dregs of the universe. Nevertheless, going gratuitously OT & being shamelessly snarky about it too, = -42 Brownie Points.

So now you're running in deficit. Living on the edge!

@guigirl yeah I was thinking about editing the original line and adding that detail so I just did

[npro]

@guigirl they don't seem to grasp humor at all.

I can tell you what you'll be having for brekkie, if you like.

OMG! That is not the way to get a date with @guigirl.
You are soooo geeek!

PS: you need to fly a long way south to meet her, poor ducky.

[DoctorG]

@guigirl Sleep well, dear.

[Pathduck]

@DoctorG Just trying too hard I guess?
Better go with the tried and true then...

[sgunhouse]

If @guigirl is still trying to figure out the various Ventura references (though probably not), MacOS seems to like naming versions after places in California, OTOH, Ace Ventura was a character in a couple of comedy movies years ago (Ace Ventura, Pet Detective and Ace Ventura, Call of the Wild).

[TbGbe]

@sgunhouse I was thinking of the other Ventura

[sgunhouse]

@TbGbe I'm sure there are others out there somewhere ...

Not sure whether they will come back. I mean they were always best in their class and then this happened. Vivaldi should really provide a checkbox for excellent humans to circumvent all this spam prevention nonsense.

Can't vote more than once so here are +10 .

@npro Golly, what an amazeballs thread! It feels that whilst i slept, a supernova flashed bright & clear, but then in an instant was brutally silenced, forever gone, leaving nothing to "show" but a modest "best in class" black hole. That's it; no more sleeping for me -- it's just too galactically dangerous!

Btw, mega-kudos to @luetage, coz this was one of your best "subtle snarks"; the advanced craftspersonship shines through [albeit less brightly than a supernova, maybe only a prettydamngoodnova shining (redrum?)].

In Minor update (5) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 5.3:

(comparing to e.g. github where users can read AND participate in issues).

Tester/User comment from Hell.
Oh yes, Vivaldi is so bad and others create better …
Hahahhaaa. Github reports are so useful and never a mess. Really? Not!
User participate? We have a forum for this. A bug tracker is no discussions place.

[Pathduck]

@DoctorG said in six × nine = ?:

A bug tracker is no discussions place.

I absolutely agree. However, I do think it would help if the team opened the tracker a little bit for status information, so users won't feel like their reports end up in a "black hole".

For instance I have participated in reporting bugs for Mediamonkey, they have a public tracker however users can't in general log in and comment:
https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/

I have also noticed that the bug report page contains a "This is my issue" link, however it seems random what issues are linked and I can't just change the parameter like:
https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/?bug=VB-90019

If that page could list a basic status and allow the user to update the report I think it would help a lot.
