Nah, they’d focus on the important crimes, like pot smoking and abortions.

Yeah but for a publicly traded company, quarterly growth is the name of the game. If the numbers go down long enough, it’s game over for them.

I recently… acquired Scavengers Reign. It’s one of last year’s best TV shows, but there’s simply no way to watch it legally in my country.

Same, stopped pirating when Netflix became available here. By 2024 I was subscribed to 4 different services, and was still missing out on a lot of cool stuff. So when I got my first Prime video ad I just said fuck them, bought a NUC, set up jellyseerr+Jellyfin+a bunch of *arrs, and canceled all my subscriptions. Now I can watch anything I want, and the experience is so much better than any of the legal services.

Nope, France. I checked because I wanted to pay for it after pirating it.

It’s “funny” how this was a complete non-issue here in France, but when the American right made trans people their next target after their abortion win, it suddenly became a huge problem for the French right as well.

These people constantly complain about American cultural hegemony, but they still make an exception for Trump and this kind of shit. Out of all the cool things coming out of the US, this is what you tolerate? I’m so sick of these spiteful assholes…

Sure, but from where I am it sure seems like they became the main target. Anti-trans rethoric picked up a lot in the last few months.

Liberal icon Bernie Sanders is running for Senate reelection, squelching retirement rumors (apnews.com)

The only two acceptable viewpoints are “liberal” and “conservative”, so center-right to far-right. Everything else is extremism and has no place in current politics.

Come on that’s not fair, it’s very good* at drawing album covers and video game assets, which gives more time to artists to go work for Starbucks or Amazon instead of doing something they actually enjoy.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

loutr ,
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don’t hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + *arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything’s up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.

loutr , (edited )
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.

In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once. Media are stored on 5400-RPM HDDs.

Because having each piece of software do it itself would be not only chaos but a massive security concern.

Not really, the main point is that (most) apps don’t know where they are on the screen, whether they’re minimized, on the active workspace, … and they don’t care either. That’s the responsibility of the window manager.

The app tells the display server “I need a window to display these pixels” and that’s it. And the window manager, well, manages these windows.

On the topic of security, X11 doesn’t handle security at all, that’s one of the main issues. So any graphical app can read the other windows’ pixels, grab everything you type, everything you copy, … OTOH Wayland isolates apps so they can’t do that by default. Apps that really need to (screenshot apps, …) can use “portals” to ask for these permissions.

I’ve owned all of Nintendo’s portable consoles (except for the 3DS), a Wii and I currently have a Switch. I have like a thousand euros worth of games on it, all bought through the store.

But I’m tired of this relentless fuckery, and when my daughter’s old enough to use the Switch, I will hack my switch and pirate the games I haven’t already bought.

Same with streaming, for years I paid for 3 or 4 services, but I’m tired of those fuckers nickel and diming me, and making me jump through hoops to play my paid for content on Linux, so I canceled everything and now run jellyseerr+Jellyfin which is a much better experience.

However I haven’t pirated a single PC game in like 20 years, because Valve and Steam are awesome and the prices are fair. Same with Spotify, though Ek is a tool so I’m starting to look for (legal) alternatives.

What I’m getting at is, I don’t mind paying for my entertainment, but when I start feeling like a cash cow for fucking assholes you better believe I will sail the high seas.

The French Wikipedia uses the Thin Red Line flag in the legend for a map (fr.wikipedia.org)

Context: the Thin Blue Line is symbolism for the role of police in maintaining public order. It has been co-opted by the alt-right. There is also a Thin Red Line to represent nurses. The French Wikipedia happened to use it in a legend to explain what the red lines on a map mean.

loutr ,
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

As a Frenchman who spends way too much time reading shit about US politics, I didn’t know about the thin red line. Pretty sure the WP editor didn’t either, or didn’t care (as he should).

I hope this is a troll post, otherwise maybe don’t give fascists the exclusivity on a red line on a white background?

loutr ,
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

OK but that description seems totally harmless if you don’t follow US politics. And even then, I knew about the blue line for cops but had no idea about the red one. Are we protesting nurses now? Is it a COVID thing?

Are you sure they were cops? We’ve had soldiers patrolling on and off since the terrorist attacks, and I don’t think French cops carry anything other than handguns during their normal shift.

Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach

I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!...

Ukraine backers blast ‘double standard’ after allies rush to Israel’s defense (www.politico.eu)

Most people (especially outside the US) don’t give a fuck about Elon and his politics, at the end of the day they’ll buy the car which fits their needs the most within the price range they can afford. And yeah Teslas have issues but my friends who own one are very happy with them.

loutr ,
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well I don’t know/care, I’m not really interested in cars (and I for one wouldn’t buy a Tesla due to Elon Musk’s assholery alone). But my friends are, and after thoroughly evaluating the options available here in France they went with Tesla, and they don’t seem to regret it.

loutr ,
@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

i3 is too small, i4 is too expensive to get the eco bonus so it’s much more expensive than the model 3.

But OK I get it, you hate Tesla and you’re an expert in the French car market, I’ll be sure to let them know.

BoringSSL is not a drop-in replacement for openssl though:

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google’s needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don’t recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

that ain't legal either (lemmy.ml)

Yeah we just had a huge protest here in France, except for a smaller union they all agreed that the pesky ecologists were to blame for their problems. And the government was more than willing to agree with them, better kill our remaining farming land for short term profit than reign in their buddies at Nestlé and Danone.

I don’t think the goal is to lock you into their browser, since you still can change it through the GUI. It seems to be part of the recent push to block software which changes hidden settings. The end goal being to lock down the OS and prevent users from disabling features MS wants to push onto them.
