Well Romansh of course!

Sure, but “buyeuropean” is not “dontbuyamerican”. We have car manufacturers here too, so BYD getting bigger sales number on this continent is not a good signal for Europe :(

I agree the article isn’t super clear. Reading it twice, it seems that the user credentials are exfiltrated to the C2 server (only the screenshot implies it), which definitely would be malicious.

Also a possible interpretation could be that the package advertised “just” some automations (e.g. export playlists to m3u?) and getting music metadata, whereas it was actually downloading musics locally unbeknownst to the user. Then exfiltrating the music back to the C2 server, effectively using the package’s users to mass pirate musics without exposing the pirates directly. That would indeed be malicious, especially if the package did not advertise any content downloading.

But for the last paragraph I’m extrapolating on the few info this article gives without making much sense…

EDIT: from the original article here https://socket.dev/blog/malicious-pypi-package-exploits-deezer-api-for-coordinated-music-piracy it does not seem that the musics are downloaded on the user systems then extracted to the C2 server, but rather all that’s necessary to build the download urls, including tokens tied to the victims’ account.

Fladder!

Basically I’ve been using Jellyfin for some years for streaming. Once I got the steam deck, I thought it’d be awesome to use it for offline viewing of Jellyfin content when I’m too tired to focus on a game, on long trakn rides!

So I looked for Jellyfin desktop clients, found one that I liked with offline downloads, namely Fladder. The install process for the Steam Deck wasn’t straightforward, so I learnt Flatpak packaging and submitted a PR to the GitHub project, which was well received. I can now watch my TV shows on the train when I don’t feel like playing!

I successfully did it about 2 years ago, following the instructions from this repo (last commit 2 years ago though…) https://github.com/MMMZZZZ/Jellyfin-Migrator

For RTS (especially AoE II DE) I use them as:

• the SHIFT key(create 5 units instead of 1 when hold)
• activator for a different action group, where the joystick are mapped to a circular menu. E.g. one of these menu assigns units to one of the 6 quick groups in my circular menu, and I can then select these units with just the right joystick (no button pressed). Another one activates a right joystick circular menu to go to a building (and I did map nearly all building types…)

I can also combine these, to e.g. select all barracks

I’ll have a look at decky dictation, sounds pretty handy. Thanks for sharing!

We have the same principle in French with (so learning Ihr in German was easier!), but frankly this is a reason why I prefer working in an english professional setting. Some people, generally older, get offended if you ever use the ‘du’ with them. But some others will want to look shill/younger and will get offended or mock you if you use ‘du’ with them. So yeah, using “you” to talk to the queen, my boomer customer or my nephew makes it so much easier!

It does look like a nice deck game. I only ever played World, but I eventually got tired by the endless grind. How is Rise in this regard?

There hasn’t been any release since a year either, the last one being 4.37.5 https://github.com/authelia/authelia/releases

But you can have a look at the github milestones, 4.38.0 is in the work and hopefully will be released sooner than later https://github.com/authelia/authelia/milestone/17

Regarding security: a quick browsing in the project’s issues, filtering by area:security did not show any flaws being reported since the last release. But there may have been undisclosed vulnerabilities the project’s dev are working on fixing for the next version. My personal non-professional non-legally-binding opinion is that it looks fine, so I do keep it running on my server.

The original dev has gone silent indeed, but a team of volunteers resumed development recently. So I wouldn’t call it outdated, but we’ll see if they’ll keep up the good work for long.

I’ve been using it for more than a year to automate a few stuff, it’s been good for this purpose so yeah I would recommend it :)

Windows only but does pack a pretty nice set of features: https://hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

To give context I was never a good competitive player, so I’m talking about casual play. I think I’m slightly less responsive than mouse+kb, but playing on the train is just a blast!

I also had to bind other buttons to improve response time:

• dpad down to go to last notification
• dpad to cycle between forums
• dpad eight for inactive villagers, left for army

Then Right Joystick is a radial menu to go to 6 groups. A is select all on screen. On top of that, I binded shift to L1 (the bottom left palet) which can be user in combination of most other buttons I binded: e.g. create 5 units, assign to group, select all inactive villagers etc…

I went through the William Wallace campaign to tune my conf, but I find it pretty good now!

Age of empires II, I’ve cleared a few campaigns with it! Left pad as mouse region on bottom left icons, right pad as mouse.

That’s indeed a pretty confusing wording!

Mayotte’s is part of overseas France, so I guess you are talking about mainland France?

So yes it may be the case for some of the island inhabitants, who as French citizens can travel to mainland France. Surely and understandbly some do, but reading the press this isn’t really part of the debate. At the same time, these citizens are also the ones installing the roadblocks and demanding these changes. Mayotte is also the French department where Le Pen’s right-wing party got the highest score (42.68%!) during the presidential 1st turn, so that’s not entirely surprising.

My point being, putting it under the scope of “this is mainland France government who wants to discourage immigration to mainland France” is wrong. A more accurate summary could be “this is mainland France governement giving in to demands of Mayotte inhabitants to discourage immigration to Mayotte”.

I don’t know about the rest of the developed world, that’d be interesting to know. EDIT: the wiki page has a nice map of the world giving this info https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli

To answer your question, it would cause it to deviate from the rest of France, be it mainland or overseas France. All the territories have “jus soli”, but Mayotte already had lessened rights compared to the rest.

But this would need a revision of the constitution, to specifically remove this right from Mayotte. It’s possible that it may not pass though, given the controverse it created.

It’s true that this is coming from the right-wing french politicians. But it has nothing to do with immigration to mainland France though (read the article).

The situation in Mayotte is explosive: only a third of the adult population has a job, and 34% are registered as unemployed. You also have one inhabitant out of two coming from abroad. You have shanty towns growing everywhere. And in the past years, there has been a surge in violence between gangs, kidnappings etc… causing some inhabitants to install roadblocks in protest against the governement inaction. It’s effectively blocking the island, along with its economy, worsening the problem…

This looks like a desperate attempt to please the pissed locals to lift the roadblocks. So calling that a move to make sure the island’s inhabitants don’t go to mainland France is cliché and missing the whole context. This does not make the decision less controversial though. Nor useful…

Fair point! I wasn’t thinking they would be skippable, but boy do I hope that I was wrong…

They would just be able to create and stream 2 or more ad-encoded versions where ads are encoded in differently positions. Then no sponsorblock could save us since it would skip the wrong segments for some people…
