Sounds like a reason to just watch regular TV to me.

Regular tv with all the ads?

could be worse, there's always radio...

Regular radio with all the ads?

On regular TV, you can change the channel when the ads come on. On YouTube, there is no alternative.

What is the preferred/best way to rip CDs from the Linux CLI? Is there a way to apply track info (is CDDB still around?) and edit that as well?

For command line you won't go wrong with abcde ("A Better CD Encoder") or cdparanoia if you don't need all the bells and whistles. For GUI take a look at asunder.

A good time to (re-)recommend the movie "The Social Dilemma".


Do they think so-called AI is capable of self-awareness or abstract thought, that it's not a human-programmed mountain of if statements and strict logic?


No, they think that the proposed datacenters are at best a fraud and at worst a ridiculously large electrical load for negative benefit.


How much longer before Graphene OS is killed by Google?


Yes, and according to Steve Ballmer (back in the day) Linux Torvalds was a terrorist. People are allowed to say stupid things.


I don't think this is true, I can't even find anyone else claiming this happened.


I don't remember him calling Linus a terrorist, though there were others that associated anything with a copyleft licence to be the loony left (or the commie left).

He certainly referred to both him and Linux as cancers though, that I do remember. He later changed his mind on that, and IIRC may even have publicly apologised for those statements.


He said Linux is a cancer, which was a stupid thing to say, but not the same as calling Linus a cancer. I say plenty of bad things about software that I would not say about the people who create it. I think Next.js is awful to use but that doesn't mean I think everyone at Vercel is an awful person, for example.


He may not have used the word cancer with respect to individuals, I can't find any such reference in a quick search, but he certainly had harsh words to say about proponents of Linux/OSS/similar.


People are allowed to say stupid things....and those people should be held accountable for the stupid things they say


by "say stupid things," you of course mean "tell bald-faced lies"


The most notable one: "Developers, developers, developers!"


Everyone who is not content with the way I do business must be a terrorist for sure. o_o


The best way to monitor the DLQ is by setting up CloudWatch alarms on the ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible metric. Set an alarm to trigger when the message count exceeds 0, paired with an SNS notification to alert developers via email, Slack, teams, Pager Duty, or whatever your preferred mode of being alerted is.


First California, now Colorado. Are New York, Oregon, and Washington next?


There's a bill in the New York Senate, so... probably.

I seem to recall that the residents of Martha's Vineyard have killed multiple attempts at offshore wind, also claiming it to be a threat.
