Canal+ soutient-il vraiment la « plus grande diversité » du cinéma français ?
La décision de Canal+ de boycotter les voix critiques de Vincent Bolloré a sidéré les festivaliers à Cannes. Le patron du CNC a « regretté » la décision, tout en soutenant la chaîne cryptée sur le fond, elle qui serait la garante de « la plus grande diversité du cinéma français ».

Made the mistake of trying out GPU accelerated video recording again, thinking that if I use this other thing that's not OBS maybe it will work better.
(No... they all just use the same underlying libraries and utilise the GPU video encoder in the same way)
Bigger filesize, worse quality, slightly less stuttering than with software encoding when recording Principia but I don't know if that may just be placebo. Not worth it.
People who use hardware encoding for screen recording, do they all just have expensive Nvidia GPUs they use for it?
The allure of being able being able to record stuff in good quality and without taxing the CPU that I need for the thing I actually wanna record is too strong. Want to achieve it one day.
@ROllerozxa Any NVIDIA gpu is definitely the way to go for this, even on Linux the experience is better from what I’ve played with. On Linux we have a shadowplay alternative called GPU Screen Recorder that captures very close to source quality on its default presets, it produces large files but no stuttering during recording and I just re-encode before use.
@be_far mmyeah. GPU screen recorder was the one I was trying, and on AMD it uses VAAPI just like OBS, it just has less knobs for configuring it. which would be nice if it was a "just works" kind of thing but it just has the same issues as previously in OBS. my RX 560 is just not good enough...
(a long time ago someone had offered to send me an RTX 3060 they had lying around but unfortunately that didn't end up happening :(
i had never gotten a failing crade before, so i went all in, skipping classes, and going out with friends to prevent me from compulsively studying. it felt so liberating, so free, that i just had to try again. so i did. until i failed the whole semeter, and had to do it again. i don't regret that time one bit.
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Narwhal Stuffed Animal. The Narwhal was nearly hunted to extinction in 1880 after Mark Twain jokingly suggested that the animal's horn could be used to cure illiteracy.

A plush narwhal toy with soft blue fur, a white textured underbelly, and a shimmering silver horn sits on a wooden desk next to an open book.
@lowqualityfacts The Narwhal is not a wet unicorn, but has a prolonged tooth emerging from its mouth ...
@lowqualityfacts
Attempts to prevent the curing of illiteracy by narwhal horn magic continue. That's why the current US regime really wanted access to the waters around Greenland, to get the job finished.
You can tell if a narwhal is a male because it will have a horn. You can tell if a narwhal is female because it will also have a horn.

PSA: The Astrovials Canary was truncated: https://astrovials.com/canary.txt https://web.archive.org/web/20250124100435/https://astrovials.com/canary.txt
@geheimorga saving people some time: the new version no longer says that there is no data exfiltration to third parties and they weren't forced to add code to leak data.
@neverpanic @geheimorga it also doesnt say "i have no knowledge of backdoors" anymore
@4censord @neverpanic @geheimorga for the past 6 or so months their message was truncated by some folding program, i.e. it ended with > on each line. It looks like they hotpatched the problem by shortening the lines, instead of actually fixing whatever was causing that.
I don’t know them / the site, but maybe let’s not jump to conclusions too soon?
@domi @geheimorga @neverpanic @4censord
hm, i noticed that too; isn't that the kind of word-wrapping is what you'd see if you just copy pasted the output from ``nano``
with your terminal window being too small, atleast that's what it reminded me of
now question is .. .. why exactly?
@Li The signature verifies (tested the one from archive.org on Jan 13th), so it seems to have been copy/paste from a terminal window into whatever signing interface they use.
Guessing doesn't help here, though. The only way to resolve the ambiguity is to wait and see if they re-publish a new canary with the full text.
@Li @geheimorga @neverpanic @4censord what man in the middle would result in word-wrapping of all things?
i think it resulted from being lazy or not knowing how to do this proper. same with the fix, canaries usually expire, not vaguely change wording.
@domi @geheimorga @neverpanic @4censord
if you were to have MITM to SSH, and the user ran 'nano' on the file to the terminal, your logs would only show the output of nano and not the full contents of the file,
admittidly, its kind of far fetched;
@Li Again, the signature verifies, so what was signed is exactly what's in the file. If the original thing without truncation had been signed and then stolen from a partial display using nano via SSH, the signature wouldn't verify.
If what would have been extracted using nano via a hypothetical SSH exploit wasn't signed, then there's no point in stealing it in the first place.
It's not far-fetched, it's wrong.
@neverpanic @domi @geheimorga @4censord yeah that is a good point ^ its probably not how it happened then :3
ignore me im thinking up crazy scenarios here xS :)
@Li @geheimorga @neverpanic @4censord
the user ran ‘nano’ on the file to the terminal
this is nonsense. at this point you have full root access, and the victim is pasting the thing into a publicly-accessible file anyways. not to mention that it got signed with the line breaks.
@domi @geheimorga @neverpanic @4censord yeah i kinda realized afterwards, (granted if it was just logging, maybe-) but as you said it validates; so 
it cant be that :)
Tomorrow marks the 15 year anniversary of the first release of Apparatus! Apparatus was the prequel to Principia, releasing back in 2011 for Android. It was revolutionary for mobile gaming at the time, and is fonly remembered by us who played it before Principia.
To celebrate this monumental milestone there will be a new contest tomorrow with a fitting theme... Stay tuned!

on more useful views on software
there are two kinds of programs: spreadsheets and videogames
social media? videogame
banking? spreadsheet
ai? you may think it's spreadsheet but it's actually videogame
@agatha it gets complicated when you play math games in spreadsheets, like me.
@cathos we are judging software not what you do with it
you can make spreadsheet with ai, doesn't make it any less videogame

@Kingu Canada joining the EU is a monkey paw I don’t think Canadians understand. Make no mistake, Canada would be expected to follow EU law, regulations, etc, with almost no influence practically. All the other member states will vote for European centric everything.
In fact, EU has too many states already, several which are more of a liability than anything else. Weak economies, far right governments, don’t hate Russia nearly as much as everyone should, etc.
If any Canadian asked me I’d say look towards Norway. I’d love to see Canada and Europe (not EU) cooperate closer and have closer ties. Norway has done this without being a member state. (We don’t talk about the UK, that was just dumb beyond dumb!)
Starting up military (Gripen!), economical, trade, scientific, humanitarian, space, etc agreements can be done right now. Mutual benefits can start now.
(Ukraine joining the EU is a very different beast, for so many reasons.)
@yon And using Euro would be weird :-)
@Kingu Well that’s the Economic and Monetary Union. Which not all countries in the EU belongs to. No Euro in Sweden! And not joining was 110% the right choice now that we have hindsight.
But it’s also stuff like regulations around *everything*, like food and electronics.
You’ll have The Netherlands pushing for policies around a country their size, which we in North America refer to as “a backyard”.
The French will French (and they don’t like anyone not speaking their French).
Plus I’m sure lots of people won’t be fond of anyone from inside of a EU country (citizen etc) can freely move and live in the other states. And it’s a lot easier to gain citizenship over there.
Nah. Stay away from the EU, it’s generations away from stabilizing. Talk to Europe instead.
Ended up at my university's main website for the first time in a while to read the status update about Canvas, and noticed they've added a chat support AI agent fixed to the bottom of the page like I'm on some SaaS website.
Annoyed at it begging for my attention, I ask it a simple question: Why the hell does [the university] need a chat robot?
(Thinking, thinking, thinking...)
"I understand your frustration — here's a short direct explanation!"
Oh my god shut up, you don't understand anything!
Also reminds me of this blog post I read recently:
https://adele.pages.casa/md/blog/all-my-clients-wanted-a-carousel-now-it-s-an-ai-chatbot.md
Now that I am acutely aware of the junk that's in the corners of the page I also went into the cookie consent dialog and actually read what's in there, and noticed there is a section about accepting Google Doubleclick cookies for targeted advertising.
What? My university doesn't have ads on their site. There are no such cookies either. Something tells me nobody noticed that's even there.
@ROllerozxa Talk about enshittification. To the best of my knowledge, this (luckily) hasn't happened yet to my university, but I don't see it being far fetched.
A similar thing happened with one of my professors: he kept suggesting we use his chatbot modeled after him to help with our homework...
guess what also loads with js after the chatbot? that's right, the f'ing menu that everyone goes to the website for.
and that menu cannot start loading while the chatbot hasn't.
that chatbot addition truly is something we really needed. now the website works much better with the right ublock rules

"Wait this APK has no classes.dex inside of it"
"It's one of those fancy AI apps, it vibe codes itself anew on each startup based on a prompt in res/prompt/"
@heredos well yes, but we're thinking just-in-time vibe coding rather than ahead-of-time vibe coding, so to speak. like, compress the codebase into an AI prompt and send them to the user to generate client-side to save on bandwidth when sending JS! don't think about how it will be generated, that's outside the scope of our benchmarks

transphobia is just a phase and a passing trend, you'll grow out of it;
@heredos the thing is for transphobia this is probably closer to the truth tbh
yknow the security argument for open source is kinda weak, given source-avalible would also mean people can read the code and validate its not backdoored and look for bugs and stuff,
@Li@tech.lgbt I think usually they're contrasting open source with closed source, instead of source available. Though, imo, source available without openess is likely to have a cooling effect on contributions, but I suppose any genuinely security critical software would overcome that effect. Other problem with source available is that you can't necessarily build it, so you need to trust their specific build. Validation about backdoors would be theoretical at best in that situation. Though I will say source available projects /usually/ don't prevent you from building it if you want. So maybe that's just a theoretical concern.
@natalie i mean im not saying this to say source avalible is good, merely that it meets that case; but yes. my actual take is that you should just ignore whatever license says and do what you want forever
@natalie
but i mean to resolve this you can just say source-available to the point where you can only use it for security stuff and nothing else,
@heredos i mean you can still report it to the vendor even say what exactly to fix (though if you want you can make this point as explicitly source avalible for the sake of fixing security bugs and nothing else)
