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.

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.

Depending on the context, some of those can also be savage insults.

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.

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.

Wow, Hong Kong has really big ID cards. But this is nice, I'm happy for him.

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.
