I’ll have to thanks Lumen contributors (Google first). I’m not worried about Google de-indexing them, but I’m,more worried about others (I have experienced lacking result on DuckDuckGo (and Bing, that they use) over what I can only assume is wrongfull (and non-transparent) DMCA (first with ListenBrainz).

I’ve switched to Brave. Work better.

Tiens tiens tiens… J’ai justement un tas de texte horriblement traduit par moi-même de l’anglais d’il y a quelques années… Je pourrait en mettre quelques unes (bien que je les ait presque toutes corrigées)

Well, I’m not that pessimist, at least not on those 2 points. I hardly see how CSP would prevent addon to do their stuff, as CSP is protection against cross site attacks, and extension aren’t sites (thought I actually remember having an issue like that once making an extension, but correcting the extensio’s permissions solved it).

And DRMs only apply on the video stream. It won’t protect the webpage or the javascript. Plus there are content on youtube that they are contractually required to not put behind DRMs.

What I’m worried youtube will do is simply that their server will refuse to send the video until a certain time after the user load the page, thid time corresponding to a bit less than the time the user would wait by playing ads.

It won’t force the user to watch ads. But it’ll deincensitive it by a certain amount.

This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).

Next year (1st january 2024), it’ll be in the US (but just the first version from Steamboat Willie and The Gallopin’ Gaucho)

Meanwhile, Android not even wanting to accept accent is painfull.

Ariane 6 service start got late. Not Ariane 5 decommisionning. So they end with no Ariane launcher for some time.

FYI, arm can already handle most Open Source Software with no problem as far compiling them is concerned. In particular, Qt and GTK does work, and cross compiling too is very easy. Not that it’s necessary anyway (aside of probably faster compilation unless you have really good ARM CPU). In particular, QEMU have qemu-user (if you didn’t know), which basically Rosetta for Linux, but with a good performance hit when testing cross-compiled code.

Edit: In my opinion, what will switch the faster to a non-x86 on a large scale (for computers, not counting phones, tablet and microcontroller, not using them anyway) are servers. A lot of them use standard open source software, so switching might be pretty easy if the package manager abstract it (like… All of those I know).

I mean, certain cloud provider are starting to offer renting such servers (and not speaking of all those hacker who host server on raspi (and then those who use standard linux on mobile phone too))

Well… Actually, monopoly is used in French for things that isn’t stricly speaking the sole actor (sorry). There are concurrence (mostly in the form of AMD and Intel in the PC DGPU market, and others in phone/mobile GPUs).

And for mobile operating system, they would count as a duopoly. Aside of IOS and Android, there isn’t much (thought Android is a bit special by the fact it can be reused by other vendors without the google-specific parts).

Actually, maybe the DGPU market could be seen as a triopoly (not much choice beside Intel, AMD and NVidia).

(and if we don’t use the term of monopoly, we can still say for sure they are the main provider of DGPU, which is very likely to cause competition issue)

Actually, it’s specific to libwebp, but many things that decode webp just use this library (for example, decoding webp with the “image” rust crates doesn’t use libwebp. It does use it for encoding thought).

I often use Tribler for torrents. It’s a TOR-like system specialized into torrent, and does work well with any torrents. (I’ll put a warning that the system might not be totally safe against targetted attack, but it should be against standard complaint to ISP)

If said content contain books (or maybe others pdf/epubs/docx), I would recommend uploading to one of the website that will eventually be mirrored by Anna’s Archive. (see https://annas-archive.org/datasets)

Matrix use the term of “homeserver” too

According to this article, NVidia has a 80% market share over Discrete GPUs. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-retained-80-discrete-gpu-market-share-amd-20-in-q2-2022-despite-gaming-revenue-losses/

That certainly count as monopoly (wonder how igpu goes, but I’ll guess it’s AMD’s who’s first).

Plus they tried to buy ARM recently.

And in France, it’s not monopoly that’s illegal, but company in such situation have more legal restriction due to their potential bad influence on the market compared to smaller companies.

Well… I once tried to just copy the pdf into a .txt file that I then opened into firefox, but it seems to not translate .txt, thought it may be cause they are not HTML.

I’ve been using for a few months. Here is my opinion:

• Translation quality is still far from good, but is good enought to be understandable.
• Can’t translate PDF files (hope it could do it in the future, even if that mean reflowing it)
• The extension allowed to keep translating this tab. That’s a future that, in my opinion, would be highly appreciated in the built-in translator (instead of enabling the “always translate”).
• The language choice doesn’t correspond with what I usually need (which is chinese. But I know chinese is notably hard to translate.)
• It seems that translation into french first goes thought a first pass of english translation. While this still produce readable result, targeting english is for now probably the best option (even thought the cost of implementing a new language translation pair doesn’t seems too high, I understand they might prioritise adding more language, at least for now. Actually, I should probably contribute to this myself if I care as much about it)

That seems pretty interesting mix of the performance of Wifi with the more multi-connection side of Bluetooth. I have yet to see what would support it (or even if there is a generic protocol for things like headset, game controller, screen, remote, media player, etc), but it seems to be the missing technology for wireless haptic feedback controller on PC.

(edit: yes, joycon can do it, but it’s a special case where they does not pass raw audio)

When you have a website, you also provide the processing power for executing JavaScript and rendering HTML+CSS.

Why they would prefer an app (that’s by definition less compatible) is unknown for me, but I can attempt to guess it’s simpler for some reason.

I feel like it might be interested to add this. Said “bridge” on OpenStreetMap https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.78168/-81.28259

There’s a few photos from this article. It’s a dirt road, somewhere where you should (and he probably did) drive slowly.

ISP can’t block it easily if it’s on I2P, something akin to TOR but also kinda different. Thought going against the hoster is totally possible if not anonymous (and there actually are already piracy (torrent over I2P) website on that network)
