YouTube Streaming


SeaGL being not organized by FSF is using YouTube for the online events. I talked to them about it. They don't have any time to change how they will present this year's event. But they are open to stream via PeerTube next year. Madiator2011 seems to be okay with them using his instance for it. And apparently he has enough bandwidth for it. Perhaps the recordings of this year's streams will be published onto Madiator's instance later. ↩ Reply

For the meantime I found a solution for those who want to watch the presentation live. MPV apparently can play YouTube streams as they happen. So by simply typing into the terminal mpv, space bar, and the link to the stream, you should be able to see the stream without running any proprietary software. ↩ Reply

Happy Hacking!!! ↩ Reply

[icon reviews]Blue Steel 1990 is the seed that grew into the reason Avatar didn't win best picture

So it's 1990 and Kathryn Bigelow writes and directs an action thriller about a police officer. The police officer is female and the movie almost refuses to sexualize her. Bigelow casts a nice half-Jewish girl Jamie Lee Curtis. And pretty much the whole movie, not a single shot of her emphasizes or admires her body ( apart from one sex scene where we see a very erotic closeup of her stomach ). Making that movie technically feminist. Few years later, in 1994, as James Cameron ( who was married to Bigelow between 1989 and 1991 ) is trying to find the actor to play the wife in his film True Lies. He is reminded of Blue Steel by Bigelow. And decides to cast Jamie Lee Curtis in his film. Giving us that very strange, almost pornographic scene where she does a very erotic strip-tease scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger. More than a decade later, in 2009, both Bigelow and Cameron make a movie. And both of those movies are nominated for the best picture. Yet Bigelow takes home the price. Did Cameron lose due to his pussy curse?
