Rewriting FFmpeg in Rust

Text on the meme

We are rewriting FFmpeg in Rust. C has been rolling dice with the internet's video infrastructure for 50 years and it is time to end the memetic hazard. If you are tired of buffer overflows, UB roulette, and "works on my machine" energy, help us fund the rewrite. ffmpeg-rs

What it means

A parody social media post announces that FFmpeg is being rewritten in Rust, alongside an image showing the old FFmpeg logo crossed out and replaced with a colorful Rust-themed version. The joke mocks Rust's reputation for memory safety by portraying C-based FFmpeg as a dangerous "memetic hazard" plagued by buffer overflows, undefined behavior, and unreliable software that only works on one machine.
