Everyone should just report the error to Google over and over and over again. Remind them that the federal government doesn’t actually have unilateral authority to rename major international geographic features on the whim of a single deranged despot.

That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:

• Canonical will add AI to Ubuntu — but only cautiously and when it truly makes sense.
• AI features must be mature, open-source, and run locally when possible.
• Focus AI on accessibility (speech-to-text, TTS) and improvements, not turning Ubuntu into an ‘AI product’.

And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.

The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.

That’s the part that confused me. Doesn’t seem particularly useful or wise to equip a helicopter with a nuke. Seems kind of suicidal actually.

According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.

I really want to know why this matters in the slightest for this particular movie. Why are you so invested? Is your nearsighted toddler going to have a public meltdown because they can’t see the movie in 3D like the other kids?

Why should I care?

I was hoping the article might explain, but it’s just predictable marketing fluff

Could they not think of an original name? Calling it YouTube-dl is just unnecessarily lazy and confusing. This appears to be mostly a docker image of yt-dlp, which is itself a fork of youtube-dl.

Rhymes with anise. ;)

Have you seen the preview? It gives away pretty much the entire plot. This movie seems to share a lot more in common with Coraline than the theme of the title. Strip away from Coraline the fanciful neighbors, talking cat, and layer the supernatural world directly on top of the real world (in place of Coraline’s Being John Malkovich style umbilical tunnel). Then smother the characters with generic horror elements popular today. Now you have this movie, which is “totally not Coraline minus everything that reminds us of Neil Gaiman, we promise.” They clearly made this movie because someone wanted a live action Caroline, but didn’t want to deal with the ick and marketing disaster of producing the work of a once beloved, now known creep and abuser, author.

Another one for the Plex/Jellyfin collection.

No. It’s a film adaptation of a short story that appears to basically be romantasy pinnochio fan fic.

Tech company surveillance and data collection is government surveillance and data collection.

Lol, you totally missed the point.

We don’t just tell stories, we repeat stories and re-tell stories. It’s been happening since before literature or the stage even existed. Even the Odyssey wasn’t an entirely original story. Our very first records of literature are literally stories that were told and re-told and re-told and refined and reformed and re-told for generations. Re-telling stories is a fundamental thing common to practically every human. It’s what we do and what we are. It’s not the end of the world, it’s just the mortar that binds our individual experiences into civilization. You don’t need to weep, you just need more art and literature in your life, maybe fewer headlines about movies for toddlers.

If you’re bored with a story you’ve seen before, there’s a good chance it wasn’t made for you, let the people it was made for have it. I think I can safely say that the next Airbud movie wasn’t made for you or anyone here. I’m okay letting the kids have their Airbud movie without being snarky about it.

Super Mario Bros is a 90’s dystopian cyberpunk masterpiece. If you’re complaining that is wasn’t “true” to the interlaced 8-bit game you’ve totally missed what makes that movie work. It’s a pretty fucking bizarre take, I’ll grant you that. The new movies were great, but they lack the weirdness and have been polished into boring lumps of nostalgia that are quickly forgotten. Nobody that watched the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie as a child forgot it.

As if that stops police from using it to target randos or prosecutors from using it in court. The executive branch REALLY loves its junk science.

So much safer to go one album at a time using Picard. Picard makes it easy to go down the list of a disorganized directory, identify most things automatically, allow in depth review and modifications to what Picard came up with, and standardize file naming. I’ve tried to let programs like Lidarr and beets automate it, but they always ends up causing more and more complex problems to discover and solve after awhile. Music releases are complex and sources are diverse, using distinct standards of form and format. It’s not a problem that can realistically be solved for my entire music library without the guiding hand of a librarian. I could listen to my library for over six months without repeating, even 1 album out of a 100 mis-tagged or misidentifyied could take me years to discover.

I do like to automate the less critical and more machine oriented library tasks like adding genres tags, replaygain, and lyrics as you do. Just not things like the metadata tags, file naming, or album art (embedded or otherwise).
