As a trans person all I can say is:

lmao

(I love making jokes out of transphobia)

Ironic that the replier's last name is (assumedly) carr

This AI blocklist for uBlacklist and uBlock origin should help.

jsyk, BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder, not bipolar disorder. I get them mixed up as well because BPD could reasonably stand for both.

The disorders can seem similar, which leads to more confusion, but they are pretty different in some aspects.

Not entirely sure if this would apply in your case, but for future reference you can sort of "recalibrate" the battery percentage by:

  1. charging the device to 100% and keeping the charger on for a while (normally a few hours)
  2. drain the battery until the device shuts off
  3. charge the device back to 100% without unplugging it (keep it connected for a few hours again just to be sure)

Disclaimer: I've not workshopped this much, so idk if these are the right words to convey how I feel

I feel like using AI to generate images is akin to taking someone's art and applying a light gaussian blur to it or putting an uncredited artist's work in a big game.

I know it's done in a much more intricate way, and it's genuinely impressive how AI companies got it to work so well, but if I try to sell AI generated images, especially if they're meant to be made similar to an artist's work, then that's all I'm doing.

I don't necessarily see it as stealing from artists (though it is threatening the livelihood of a lot of artists), but more as exploiting artists but with a new buzzword.

If I arrange 4 pieces of art in a jpeg and then apply a whacky filter, am I actually creating anything, or am I just exploiting artists and doing something similar to copying and pasting different bits of an essay and then changing every instance of a word to a different synonym?

I believe AI does something similar to that, albeit in a more sophisticated way that looks like creativity.

I don't think it's spell check. For whatever reason, VSCode decided that you're writing JS code and is trying to point out syntax errors. There should be some way to change the file type (open the command palette and look for "file type", I suppose)

Yeah...

Android authority has like 8000 different articles about the UI refresh or whatever. It was very annoying trying to see more than just one thing

The dark mode quick settings background will be the same as light mode, just with a slightly darker gray. It's somewhere on the android authority website if you really want to see it

Not sure if the original image is, but this one is just an edit (look at the slightly bluer background behind the word "crazy")

NixOS configuration is done entirely through code, so all of your packages are in a list (although that list can be spread across multiple files; it's a bit to explain)

I've found it can be easier to manage what you have installed, since you can just look at that list and go "oh, why do I still have xyz installed, idek what that does anymore"

I appreciate the way things are configured a lot, but I would not recommend it unless you really like coding and you have time to tinker. It's not too hard to get simple config setup, but I spiraled down a deep rabbit hole really quickly.

EDIT: If my comment for some reason persuaded you to use NixOS, I recommend you get a basic config setup before installing it. I'd also recommend you look at how annoying it can be to run dynamically-linked applications (i.e. you download a random executable off the Internet and try to run it, or you try to run something you downloaded with npm)
