That doesn’t explain the AI-generated models on the thumbnails holding up a small hand-sized globe (which is a geography thing, mind you!)

The AI-generated videos helpfully have a big red border (or rather, unhelpfully, as it draws more attention to them)

Interetingly, most of the AI-generated videos I see are from “Physics Frontier” and “Profiles in Politics”(which isn’t about politics at all, weird).

Smuggling was a thing back then, right? Paying someone to help you navigate the not so hospitable and easy-to-get-lost-in deserts and forests.

Yes, to keep the invaders out. That’s border control, no? To control the flow of people between borders, military or otherwise, is border control. To control borders.

Aegis seems like a pretty good 2FA app on Android from what I’ve heard. Personally, I use Ente Auth as sync is very helpful when I don’t have my phone nearby (you can either use the desktop app or use your browser, both work). Don’t think you can self-host sync, though I might be wrong. Ente Auth also works without sync, so there’s that.

I would not suggest using a password manager’s 2FA integration (e.g. Bitwarden, I think Proton Pass has one if you use that?) as it kind of defeats the point of 2FA, since if someone got access to your password manager, they would also get the 2FA codes.

May I introduce to you the wall? There’s a whole wonder of the world that’s a wall: a Great one in China.

Also, there used to be people on those walls with pokey things that hurt. People outside the empire/nation/whatever they called it back then didn’t want to go near it when they weren’t supposed to, since they didn’t want to be poked by the pokey things.

With the invention of firearms, you can shoot a tiny pokey thing really fast! Pokey things have really advanced over the years, for the better or worse.

Yep, that’s it. I’ll look at that soon, thanks!

Yes, I am able to change the window colour scheme from light to dark. Just the file open dialogue is a bright white which is weird…

Also, thanks for answering my questions, that was really helpful :D

I’ve installed Kate and it seems pretty good. It’s quite customisable in terms of the layout and such(similar to VSCodium), and it seems to have most of the things I need. I’ll have to try both of them out and decide on which I like better.

Two things about Kate I don’t like though: there’s no everforest theme (fortunately I found Tokyo Night to be pretty good), and the file picket window doesn’t follow my GNOME theme and is a bright white box. I guess that’s because Kate doesn’t support GTK themes?

Also, what’s the difference between what looks like three different folder tree buttons (Document seems to only show one file, and then Project and File Browser plugin both show the full tree of the folder you have opened)? And is there an equivalent for the “Code Runner” plugin? If not, I guess I could always just run “python filename.py”, but a play/run button would be nice.

I think I’ve tried that before and didn’t like it, but completely forgot the reason why. Maybe it’s time for another go?

On other editors, I like VSCodium the best. Something like Neovim or Helix is a bit too hardcore for me, and I like having a folder tree to navigate between different files. Sublime Text isn’t open-source and, in my experience, VSCodium is more customisable with plugins and such. Lite XL is one I tried recently and seems interesting with a bunch of plugins as well, but doesn’t include a GUI for the settings page (there’s a plugin for that though, but strange that it’s not built-in…). I still like Lite XL, it’s got support for a bunch of languages. The main drawback for me is that there doesn’t seem to be a git branch tree or any way to run code within the code editor.
