After 12 months as a paying customer, you get a copy of the source code.
That's an interesting arrangement. I guess there's nothing wrong with it. But I'm not sure what the benefit is supposed to be since they presumably retain exclusive rights to use that code commercially.
It's actually more interesting than this. Open Street Map has a long history of supporting multiple names for the same place. There seems to have been a bit of an edit war since the executive order was issued, but as of now we have <tag k="name" v="Lake Ontario"/> and <tag k="official_name:en-US" v="Lake America"/>. There are also 36 other name tags, mostly listing the name of the lake in different languages. I initially assumed that all those others were added in the last couple of days as a way to sort of protest by taking the whole thing to an absurd level. But the change log actually shows that 27 of them were already in the tags long before the executive order was issued. And honestly, I like it this way better. Instead of making Trumps announcement big to the point of absurdity, OSM has made it small to the point of inconsequence. Trump said he wanted to change the name of the lake, and OSM said "sure, whatever, your name for it can be number 28 on the list of names that people have for it. And actually, while we're on the topic, it looks like we missed a few. Lets throw on 8 more to make sure everyone is represented."
My favorite is when I search for how to do something in Blender (the 3d modeling and animation program) only realize that I'm wasting my time reading a slop article on what is ostensibly a cooking website because someone told their AI to write a bunch of articles on how to use a blender (the kitchen appliance) and couldn't be bothered to so much as read the titles before publishing them.
I have a Samsung phone and I take great pleasure in ignoring the weekly reminders that I still haven't agreed to their latest privacy policy (or any previous version since the very first one which I was forced to accept while setting up the phone). Refusing to do this probably doesn't accomplish anything, but it's my own private act of rebellion while I eagerly await those new Motorola phones with first-party Graphene OS support.
This is exactly what I said about Windows Recall. It's not a bad idea per se, but it requires the user to trust a company which has repeatedly and publicly screwed over its customers; a thing which no sane person would do.
Doesn't US Mobile offer all the of the major networks? I've also been looking at them recently, and my understanding is that the three networks they offer are (despite their silly codenames) in reality just verizon, t-mobile, and at&t. You can pick which one you want to use and even switch between them without too much hassle.
Seconding Band of Brothers. It's cut from the same cloth as Chernobyl. If OP is looking for more of that specifically, then It's an obvious and excellent recommendation.
Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that "Jimmy never stopped counting" was their conclusion as well.
It's a great video. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.
Some cars have the cellular modem (often called the "telematics module") on a separate fuse. Just pull that and you're good to go without doing any complex disassembly.
Do you have the webcam and other peripherals working? I looked into putting linux onto a surface a while ago, and at the time I came to understand that Microsoft runs a lot of that stuff through a propriety chip that is not well documented and therefore poorly supported on linux.
If the developer wants to fight this and Rossman wants to back them, then more power to them both. Obviously Bambu shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. But it does seem unfortunate that the best case scenario would be the developer winning the right to continue doing unpaid work to make their aggressor's products better. Perhaps an alternative would be for a more FOSS friendly printer company to offer a free replacement for the developer's Bambu machine so that they can instead contribute to a platform where their work will actually be valued.
Letterboxd isn't a 1-to-1 replacement for imdb, but it does have user submitted reviews and ratings out of 5 stars. I would suggest giving it a shot if that's primarily what you're after.
I find it interesting that almost all the beloved AI characters in sci-fi have personalities ranging from 'a little bit snarky' to 'raging asshole'. Given the tendency of media to influence to aesthetics of actual tech products that follow, ten years ago I would have predicted that an AI assistant would be given a personality along the lines of Cortana (Halo) or Jarvis (iron man). But somehow half a dozen companies in fierce competition with each other all decided that the right move was to go with more-sycophantic-c3p0.
I try to use my feed as a way to broaden my horizons by mixing in publications that are a bit outside of my usual wheelhouse. Normally what happens is I'll randomly run across an article and, if I enjoy reading it, I'll add the publisher's feed for a while to see what else they have. For example, Smithsonian Magazine, Aeon, and Planetizen can all be interesting from time to time.
I would also recommend subscribing to at least one publication focused on your city or state/region to help stay informed on local news and issues. If you're in the US you can try checking out the local member of States Newsroom.
And of course, make sure you get your regular dose of XKCD and SMBC

To paraphrase Cory Doctrow: evaluate new technologies based not only on what they can do, but also on who they do it for, and who they do it to.
And a very Righteous Kill to you, my friend.

Not quite the same, but church forests are actually a part of Ethiopian orthodox religious tradition.

Should've asked for the two songs to be: What's New Pussycat, and It's Not Unusual.

This is from the farm family project by Rob MacInnis, if you'd like to see more.

Slide a toothpick between the pot and the lid. Then push the lid against it to hold an even gap while you're draining.
