I cannot believe this for a moment. ChatGPT really does not let you call it anything close to names. It is ridiculous actually. Reddit is slightly more lenient than ChatGPT.

The latest version of iOS has decreased battery life on phones from 2024.

Same for Xorg. And Wayland, really. No idea how people get so many issues. Just change distro, or DE, in the end of the day, it doesn't take long. Small changes make small differences.

I don't know, not everyone has adopted open access, indeed. Nor do they necessarily plan to. But I don't work there anymore, thankfully.

Surely the "AI chatbot" will be sued, he won't go to jail.

Spoiler alert: It does not seem to be talking about Rekieta to any degree.

New comment by rgreekguy in "2026 Apple introducing more ads to increase opportunity in search results"

rgreekguy — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:38:59 +0000

I see many ads and irrelevant results in the App Store regardless. So much so, that at some point said "why don't I turn on personalised ads, since I am seeing all this trash anyway", and it turned out it was already on. So I cannot really imagine how this will change things.

In my last job we had some memory issues with the build, many times I ended up running out of memory, trying to build the huge Java monolith that was the stupid "product" we made. Automagically, the issues were resolved to a decent extent when switching from GNOME to XFCE, in Ubuntu 24.04.

There is still some use for lightweight even in today. You make better use of your memory/resources in some application, than in something so fundamental.

I don't expect this story to stay up for long.

Important to notice that GoFundMe is not available worldwide. It's only available in half a dozen of countries, if I am not mistaken.

The capitalisation, although by mistake, answers the question.

rgreekguy — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 13:54:32 +0000

A list of some curation, possibly, but that has too many products to be one person's work, with affiliate links to Amazon US. There have been worse promos in here, I guess.

Of course they do! They are as nasty as the music labels, it's just that people get more attached to the later, regardless of occupation and intelligence.

Like, imagine being forced to take Cloudflare's side!

It does feel weird seeing America not start a war for once, indeed.
