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.

Do you have a link to the manifesto? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. It’s strange how little information is easily available on it; every article I see in search results is informationless fluff, with various attempts to spin something, but they’re all so unclear on what the thing they’re spinning is in the first place it comes across very strange.

To be honest I’ve always kinda thought how much things get censored is overblown, but damn, someone just killed half a dozen people (half of them children), injured hundreds more, and released a manifesto as to why they did it - yet somehow it gets buried. Instead there’s an endless stream of speculation, blame, and talk about everything else. I don’t think there could be anything in the writing that would concern me more than the degree to which it seems to be deliberately ignored.

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.
