I find the most common thing I use ai for is to give me the text from a screenshot due to websites putting important information in a manner that does not allow copy and paste of it. So I should completely not need to do this but it comes up a lot.

I installed Ryujinx from Flathub on Linux Mint via the inbuilt software manager pre-shutdown and the screenshot shown is the first time it's had an update since it was shutdown - bit nervous to accept the update, is there any information known about it?

The information tab at the bottom is just blank.

Scanning my system with malwarebytes now, but nothing is finding anything wrong and I havent seen any suspicious activity.

Here is the analysis itself.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday accused Russia of planning acts of "air terror" against airlines worldwide, including sabotage and diversion operations on Polish soil.

Tusk made those remarks during talks in Warsaw with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as almost a month after an Azerbaijani Airlines passenger plane crashed in western Kazakhstan after unsuccessfully trying to land in southern Russia.

"All I can say, and I will not go into details, but I can confirm the validity of these fears, is that Russia had planned acts of air terror, and not only against Poland, but against airlines all over the world," Tusk told reporters.

While it was not immediately clear what incidents the Polish prime minister was referencing, authorities in Azerbaijan have accused the Russian military of shooting at Azerbaijani Airlines Flight 8432 as it tried to land in the city of Grozny last month. Moscow has provided various explanations for the crash, which happened near Aktau, Kazakhstan, and killed 38 people.

Meanwhile, Tusk also pledged to accelerate Ukraine’s EU accession process as Poland holds the bloc's rotating presidency.

"The Polish presidency will break the impasse that has been evident in recent months," Tusk said. "And we will work together with Ukraine and our European partners... to speed up the accession process as much as possible," he added.

[...]

"The sooner Ukraine is in the EU, the sooner Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, the more we interact, the sooner the whole of Europe will get the geopolitical certainty it needs," the Ukrainian president Zelensky.

"Russia will not pass where there is our integration, our common strength, our respect," Zelensky added.

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.

I work with a lot of ladies who are huge Bad Bunny fans. I asked them if they saw Jimmy Fallon and they all did. They loved Linus' segment and said, "he was sooo cute." I pointed them to LTT and one of started binge watching and loves it, she doesn't even own a computer or game console besides her phone.
