As a huge Star Wars fan I can confirm that I absolutely loathe Star Wars. Not for being "woke," mind you, but for just being generally creatively bankrupt, poorly executed, and with new media for it effectively held hostage by the existing media for it. Which is why I don't watch any of the t.v. shows or movies anymore. In my opinion this is a superior alternative to getting online and filling my diaper in the "user reviews" section of Rotten Tomatoes.

Not sure why you were enabling HTTPS for a project that was not hosting an internet-accessible service, really. By which I assume you mean the service doesn't have a publicly accessible web based UI or API component. What were you trying to access and how? The only scenario I could think of for this would be that your custom software relies on HTTPS for secure communication within its own internal network (such as on a VPN) to send sensitive data back and forth between services. In which case that feels like overkill for a college course, since you shouldn't have any genuinely sensitive data that you need to secure if it's just for testing and demonstration.

I had a problem and then I tried to solve it by installing a snap package. Now I have two problems.

You don't have to censor the word "Fuck." This isn't, like, a Christian minecraft server.

By "Canoo" do you mean the LDV190?

I like how these look futuristic, but also ugly and not at all cool. Like something out of a 1990s movie about a cop who was cryogenically frozen and then awoken decades later to stop Wesley Snipes from Wesley Sniping all over the place.

I've written poorer documentation than this.

"Here is a work around to fix [weird bug in production]:"

"Edit: Disregard the above. It fixes [weird bug in production] but causes [bad thing] to happen."

"Edit 2: Apparently the first edit is wrong. It doesn't cause [bad thing] to happen. Bad thing just happened to occur simultaneously the first time I did the workaround."

"Edit 3: [weird bug in production] has been fixed. This workaround is no longer needed."

"Edit 4: Turns out [weird bug in production] we fixed is what allowed our systems to communicate with one another. Had to rollback change. Work around is now considered 'the fix' going forward."

"Edit 5: Turns out it DOES cause [bad thing] to happen, but [bad thing happening] is a core component of our system's design and also PAYROLL NEEDS IT TO FUNCTION?!"

Wizards/Hasbro hires contractors to produce art for their game. They make virtually none of it in house. It's most likely they neither know nor care who or what produces art for MTG. Besides, they produce so much content in a year, some of it has to be AI/ML generated, so this is incredibly unsurprising. At this point, MTG is starting to enshittify by dumping out product as quickly as possible. Their quality control and playtesting has gone out the window. Most of their recent sets are pretty poorly received in the limited magic space. I don't personally care about the use of AI art, but I can say that for money making enterprises, they'll eventually have more and more art produced via ML over time, and eventually they'll use ML to design sets in some capacity, as well. Right now, people are upset over it or annoyed by it on some quasi-ethical grounds of "stealing from artists by not compensating them for the work they produced being used to train the models." But it's going to eventually become the norm, purely on the basis that they aren't going to lose any money from using ML to produce art and they're going to save money by doing it.

The foundational premise of this argument is purely that there's something "special" about human thought and that the way humans do pattern recognition is somehow "better" than a machine's.
