As an early Spotify subscriber I moved to Apple Music when Spotify backed Joe Rogan's covid misinformation, my only complaint is the search constantly confuses me as to wether I'm searching my local library vs the cloud (I still buy music a fair bit).

so there is a function helper that does the same thing, yet returns the result; which you could use to assert silence, I'm not sure there a hook you could use to wrap tests but you could macro it?

Zero printed? Or zero emitted? `ExUnit.start(capture_log: true)` can silence messages but its not a "assert non emitted" type deal (and can be a bit flakey with umbrellas / processes outside the test scope which you don't want anyway)

adarsh 🚲 (@adarsh@ruby.social) Can you imagine what #ruby would look like if code of conduct violations were actually enforced? Especially against our white supremacists? Refreshing to be reminded that world could exist if we wanted it. Good for the PSF and its moderators for maintaining a healthy community. πŸ‘πŸ½ https://social.jacobian.org/@jacob/115215001618713506

We need a Ruby Central which is not beholden to DHH and Shopify money but representative of the larger community. Why aren't the board of directors publicly elected, like Python?

Too little... too late @rubycentral this change should have been announced and publicised in advance of you actually doing it, with a clear timeline, and time for the community to respond **before** you did it.
