Too Based for Patent Trolls

I love mpv HEVC is a codec that requires a license, which is why the official codec from Microsoft Store is paid. However, VLC and mpv players support HEVC out of the box since they are not subject to licenses like this What makes you think they are not? You reposted We're too based to get shaken down by the software patent racketeers. Just ask them. I store 1,594,206,125 dead patent lawyers in my freezer. 7:57 PM · Nov 11, 2022

A screenshot of a social media post praises mpv and shows a thread about HEVC licensing, where mpv humorously claims to keep over 1.5 billion dead patent lawyers in a freezer. The punchline is exaggerated absurdity: the player is portrayed as so defiant toward software patent holders that it has literally eliminated them, making this a reaction meme for strong support of free software and contempt for patent trolls.
