FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs

why would you post such a patently absurd accusation.

Popped in that context means hacked. Like in the same usage of pop in "popping a shell".

I do not think he meant it as any kind of physical/death threat.

I saw that tweet and thought it looked crazy. To me, it sounds like a death threat. Especially given that it's posted on X.com, after a really heated argument, with no clarification afterwards.

If you didn't actually post that tweet, that's great! I'm happy to be corrected

If you hear a rumor that sounds too crazy to be true on social media, maybe don't repeat it as fact. Imagine how you would feel reading something like that.

It's not a rumor, you literally wrote that on X. The average person would understand it as a threat.

You felt the need to make a new account for that bad take? Jeez.
