Confession: If you send me a video, I will likely never watch it, no matter how much I like you and no matter how much you like it. I may tell myself I will watch it, I may tell you I will watch it, but I probably won't, because I absorb most of my information through text, and I prefer it that way. I can absorb a tremendous amount of info quickly through text, while telling me to stop everything I'm doing to watch a 20-minute video feels almost insulting, though I know you're being generous!
The mnemonic I use to remember Markdown link syntax is that the square brackets look a bit like a button and then the round brackets mention the URL as a note afterwards:
Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/
It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I very much enjoyed it.
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to #federation and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like #slrn (mine), #Thunderbird and other GUI-tools.
My article on long-term perspectives of important information on the web gained additional momentum (and great reading rates) with the self-inflicted demise of #reddit:
My #filemanagement method using 🏷️ is so much more than just a fine solution for #photomanagement. You'll see that it actually addresses many aspects of working with local files in general:

An sich gute Vorschläge paaren sich mit einer Empfehlung, die #Passwörter in der #Cloud zu speichern. 🤦🖕
Leute, es gibt super #Passwortmanager mit lokaler Datenhaltung wie #KeePassXC, die ihr beispielsweise mit #Syncthing selbst zwischen euren Geräten synchronisieren könnt. 👍

It's worth 2SMS/2ECTS and the effort to get a grade is not overwhelming.
I really do love the rich features and UX of #MXPlayer on Android, a video player app.
However, with the latest updates, it gets more and more tedious to use it without network permission (I don't use and want). Reason: when starting the app, it either does nothing until a timeout of ~1min is reached or it never passes the startup screen. So far, I still can "open" it when opening any video file from my file browser.
Is there a decent alternative video player for Android I should consider?
