I might be missing something, but it reads like he's saying "Israeli hostages" as in "hostages taken by Israel" based on how he mentions families returning to rubble in Gaza.

I like the actual look of the word "main" more than I do the word "master". I think it's because it looks like a neat semi-circle

I can't read all of the article because it's behind a paywall or whatever, but I would suggest reading some stuff by Erin Reed (Erin in the Morning), specifically this piece which is relevant to your claim. (Note the article was written by a guest and not Erin herself, if you want to)

As with anything that loud transphobes like to scream about, it's wildly exaggerated. Unfortunately, because they're so loud, most people see the exaggeration as truth.

I would also look into this study/literature review. It's been a while since I've read it, and it's late here, so I can't attest to how good of a study it is. However, the authors do conclude that there's no real evidence of trans women having any considerable advantage over cis women.

iirc, spotdl let's you "log in" by storing a specific cookie in a file or getting a token or something. It's probably somewhere in the docs, but I don't remember exactly off the top of my head

I believe there's a setting either in Discover (the KDE "app store") in the main plasma settings (somewhere in the "updates" section? That might be somewhere else, I don't remember) that will automatically install updates without you needing to approve them.

And there's also a setting that will wait to install them until the next boot. When I had that setting on, it only added maybe 10 seconds to my startup time when I needed to apply something like a kernel update.

As a trans person all I can say is:

lmao

(I love making jokes out of transphobia)

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.
