I asked for the app to generate a map
Of Australian states and territories with a ‘r’ in them. To be fair, despite announcing itself as ChatGPT 5, I suspect this is still 4.5.

Hey, I haven't seen this going around yet, but itchio is also taking books down with no erotic content that are just labeled as lgbtqia+

So that's super cool and totally not what I thought they were going to do next 🙃

Has anyone ever actually wanted to drop a pin when using Google Maps?

I've been an Apple user for over 20 years and I know there isn't any other ecosystem out there that I would enjoy using. I like things that just work out of the box.

But some things in the Apple world just don't work. For example parental controls and setting up a device for a child.

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape…

Many real estate ads for new estates in prime location are like “if you have to ask for the price range, you cannot afford it”. Then those with an affordable price are in a cookie cutter suburb you have never heard of, 50km from work by car. No public transport. This is urban sprawl in Australia.

I've lived in and visited places where a wrong answer to "Which team?' question might lead into serious trouble. That's why I'm always uncomfortable when some random person is asking that question in Melbourne. Stop doing that, not everyone is interested in sports.

Wow, Orange Hitler’s parade seats are filling up fast! 🙄🤣🤣

Very proud be Australian today. #auspol

ITS HAPPENING

Firefox 127 shipped today making it the first browser to support Temporal - the new API for working with Dates, times, timezones + durations

AUKUS is basically Australia paying the US $368 billion to deploy their submarines where they tell us -assuming they can be built. Any opportunity to walk away from this lunacy should be grabbed with both hands.

Ask Siri to play KAJ - Bara bada bastu and report how it goes.

It’s weird how the space bar is so big button on the virtual keyboard but it’s the one I miss most often.

You know, a holiday has been a great success when you manage to forget the password for your work account.

Oh my god, Copilot is allowed to create and fix issues on Microsoft github repos and it goes exactly as you'd have imagined.

Try going into any of these PRs commits to see poor Microsoft engineers try to coerce Copilot into doing literally anything right.

You know you have lived long enough in Australia when you think peak UV index of 8 isn’t really that bad. Yeah, I do use sunscreen though, but 4-5 is pretty much the highest it ever gets in Finland.

Sometimes I love Apple onboarding experience, sometimes I really hate it. Especially when it tells you to install a 2.5 GB software update before you can even see the Home Screen. Feels like picking up a PlayStation game after a 6-month break.

BBQ, burgers and beer. Smoked brisket, pulled pork.

I have stayed in quite a few hotels during my life, ranging from mouldy motels to five star luxury hotels. The only one that has truly made me angry with their unbelievably shitty service is Hilton. Avoid.

I feel like all social media algorithms are designed to work in a way that they start showing content in a non-English language if you ever post or interact with posts in that language. They don’t care about the content. Speak Finnish? Here’s more uninteresting content because it’s in Finnish!

While many critics of AI might hope that familiarity with the tools – with their frequent hallucinations and often outdated knowledge bases – would breed contempt, the opposite appears to be the case. Those Britons who use AI chatbots more frequently are the most likely to think they are good at pretty much all of the tasks listed.

This Yougov survey contains an important finding: people who rely heavily on ChatGPT rate it as being "good" at tasks that we ABSOLUTELY know for sure it is very bad at

imo, this is a strong piece of evidence these heavy users simply do not ever check outputs

It's really, really important now to get food preparation info from reliable people. Please be sure that the recipe you are using from a blog was written by an actual person.

Melbourne surgeon Greg Malham has now apologised and also confirmed he is now under investigation by the Epworth Hospital where he works, and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

"Register your product for extended warranty" is actually "Give us your details so that we can use it for marketing purposes and perhaps sell it to other marketers".

Lausunnon hakijat on varmaankin olleet kiireisiä Helena Koivun kanssa.

Yeah, this summer has been mostly fine but the mood goes down as soon as the temperatures drop and the grey skies become the daily norm.

I have been living in Melbourne for almost 2 years now and it has never felt like home to me. It just doesn’t vibrate in the right way. I will be happy when I get to leave this place with no real friends or family.

A major cause of rising house prices has been increased demand from investors.

Our research shows restricting negative gearing to newly built housing and scrapping the capital gains tax discount would reduce speculation and allow more first home buyers to get into their own home.
