Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn't very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

In any office job I've worked, I would have been able to accomplish jack shit for the second half of the day without a break with some food and good coffee.

Also, breaks in which you can do whatever you want are enforced by law around here, and I'd be surprised if it isn't the same in Australia.

That man is both a dick, and a fool.

Well, I'm still using a Ryzen 3000 chip. Maybe I should go Intel next time. Oh wait, those are currently corroding from the inside. Guess I'll just stop using computers.

Many modern podcast solutions seem to be injecting ads into the audio file they serve, to varying degrees of success.

I mean, if I felt morally obliged to disclose illegal or immoral practices to the public, I'd be sure to run so somewhere they can't get me. If there aren't proper whistleblower protections, you gotta make your own.

For the most part, I don't care about App Size. Storage is cheap. What I miss with the Signal Desktop App is the option to save everything in an encrypted container.

You should always read scientific publications with a healthy dose of scepticism - not because science isn't to be trusted, but because trying to falsify it's results and finding potential issues is an important part of the process.

If you do that, I don't see why you should treat Chinese papers differently. Sure, a country with an authoritarian government with a cultural emphasis on face might produce some papers that aren't factual due to that specifically, but dismissing the scientific output of a nation of over a billion people over that seems backwards.

If you are depressed and find your life monotone and unfulfilling (which I don't know about them, but if you make a post like that on 4chan, that might be an indicator), knowing your relative privilege probably won't make you happier.

Uh, I understand the sentiment, but the model doesn't know anything. And it's legit really hard to differentiate between factual things and random bullshit it made up.

I have been looking for something similar, and my current solution is to use an RSS Client like Feeder, and to subscribe to the RSS Feeds of some quality outlets.

Results in a feed that looks just about like this:

I have relatively long Passwords, because why not, and had problems with pages restricting the number of characters you can enter in the login window, but not the registration window. Or restricting password length and cutting your password off, but not telling you about it, so you gotta figure out that they set the first 30 characters of the saved password as your password.

Always fun to deal with. I could make it a lot easier for me by just using shorter passwords, but I think deep down I'm a masochist.

I'd assume that's a joke. I mean, she's an arsehole, but that doesn't change that.
