Oh I'm four days late but yes. The YouTube downloader also downloads audio, I didn't realize they had a separate program that only downloads audio. Weird.

What you're looking for is OnTheSpot. Just ripped my library of a few thousand a few weeks ago, went very quickly and with full metadata.

+1 for MediaHuman, if you're wanting a GUI. Super simple and powerful. It's paid software but there are cracks around.

If I buy one song from one artist off bandcamp the artist earns about $1 from me, which I can then listen to thousands of times without them seeing another cent.

Personal recommendations, NPR Tiny Desk, movie and show soundtracks, Bandcamp, record stores, Library of Congress Homegrown Concerts on YouTube, looking into any bands you like and seeing what else the members have been in.

I was thinking the same thing - it'd be nice if they could just keep doing what they're doing now since it's great, but who knows, maybe this will lead to some other great films that otherwise never would have been made. If they can maintain their quality in the big budget space, there's a relatively unfilled niche for popcorn flicks made with care and artistry.

Off the top of my head, Mad Max: Fury Road fits the description of 'big budget, action, based on existing IP' and I don't think anyone would wish that hadn't been made.

Maybe they will start producing garbage; it's entirely possible. I'd rather have a little optimism and wait to hate until it actually happens though. It'd be awesome to see what passionate and talented filmmakers like the Daniels would do with both a big budget and the creative freedom A24 has historically offered.

I find myself saying this one a lot. When I feel like I'm putting in effort and the other person won't meet me in the middle something like this always seems to slip out, but I hate how passive aggressive it is.

Reframing it so 'the problem' is the problem rather than the person is a good idea. Helps with communication, and if it can be internalized, it seems like a better way to think about the conflict too.

AI has been around a lot longer than LLMs. Intelligence can mean many different things.

I think everything's delayed, rather than weekly releases, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, in theory this gives them more time to catch any major bugs and hold those packages, though in practice I don't believe that happens much at all considering how short the delay is.

You make some good points - I don't think anyone can reasonably argue linux is in a state where a 'regular' user will find it more productive than windows. But, statements like these make as many assumptions about an individual's use case and workflow as saying 'everyone should use linux because xyz':

If you live in a bubble where you don't have to collaborate with anyone else

There are annoyances from time to time, sure, but they're way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you've to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive desktop experience on Linux

If you buy a Windows license and spend the time you would've spent dealing with Linux compatibility issues doing your actual job you'll, most likely, get a better ROI.

Again, it's certainly not reasonable to say linux is universally (or even generally) better for productivity. But neither is it reasonable to say it always isn't. Operating systems are tools, which one to use depends entirely on the situation.

The biggest reason is instability - packages in its main repo are held back two weeks, while the same isn't true of anything from the AUR, meaning potential dependency version mismatch. It's kinda rare for this to be an issue, but it happens enough to make it a subpar choice for long-term usage. More info here

Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.
