Well, you can come up with this position or view on a 5 minute toilet break after reading something that rallied you up. Once you have a voice you can trigger an avalanche with very little it seems.

I agree but this sounds harder than it is. Not every parent is an expert in arguing against these actors that have very deep pockets.

You don’t need to argue to anyone you can do what you want and lay down whatever law you want.

I know HN users often fantasize about being the hardass parent who puts their foot down, but this obviously isn't something that scales to solve a population wide issue. Coordination between the government, tech companies, and parents is going to solve this a million times better than just telling individual parents to deal with it.

Please speak openly about that on your dev page Manage expectations.

Why not. I can't force you to do your volunteering work.

I would like them to publicly state that there are not enough hours in their day to fix this, therefore it will have to wait until they get to it.

Why complain about pressure from customers then?

Why does google simply build their own ffmpeg from source without the codec?

They almost certainly do. But it's also in the public interest to responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in components that don't directly affect you.

Mark it low, and estimate by when it can be fixed (3, 4 months from now). Advise google of it. Google does not need to disclose this bug that fast. If I do something one the side or as hobby and big corp comes by to tell me to hurry up I feel inclined to say no thanks.

Linus does...
