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 So I wouldn't call it outdated, but we'll see if they'll keep up the good work for long.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...

Actually, to make it with cryptographic guarantees is pretty hard... I know of at least one university professor in the PET (Privacy Enhancing Technologies)/cryptography space who spent quite some time on his startup to develop such a search engine. In the end it all fell apart because of one the mathematical assumptions being unprovable. This is just one example but I guess it illustrates pretty well why we've yet to see a cryptographically secure/private search engine as a product!

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..

Yeah but that's because the content creator cannot dynamically change the time at which the sponsored part is. For ads, Google could dynamically insert ads at every 1/3rd of videos with a variation +- 1mn, and there's nothing an extension like sponsorblock could do without triming on the original video's content.
