Did Rory McIlroy donate Ryder Cup bonus to homeless charity in Northern Ireland?
Rory McIlroy is just the latest sports star to be the subject of AI-generated stories about donating housing or funds to homeless people.
Dzień dobry, dziś na tapet wrzucamy tajemnicze prezenty dla Prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego i jego rodziny od Rafała Brzoski i Omeny Mensah, o czym donosiła początkiem września Gazeta Wyborcza. Samo wręczenie prezentu Prezydentowi nie jest niczym niedozwolonym. Może jednak budzić kontrowersje, gdy obdarowującym jest wpływowy biznesman, a opinia publiczna nie wie, czym jest ten prezent. Dlatego postawiliśmy rzucić nieco światła na ten temat. O tym, co odpowiedziała nam Kancelaria Prezydenta piszemy na stronie siecobywatelska.pl/prezenty-br… Potem wrzucimy Wam też filmik z komentarzem Szymona Osowskiego.
P.S. Dziś bez Okiem.

Simple and light alternatives to Notepad, Paint and Calculator (Win11 lol)
Anyway, this sounds like a great opportunity to look for some FOSS alternatives!

in reply to PiraHxCx • • •cudatext as a notepad replacement. It's closer to a full featured text editor, but is very quick to startup with no extensions installed.
I have no idea about replacing paint, but irfanview for simple viewing, cropping, resizing, swapping formats, etc.
For calculator stuff I sometimes just open the Python REPL. If you know the language (even a little bit) it does all the things and more. Every time I try to use the Windows calculator it annoys me trying to find the right button and them accidently putting another operator instead of equal or vice versa.

in reply to PiraHxCx • • •Good notepad alternative is notepad, just taken from an earlier windows version. Best version of it is the early one from Windows 11 though, the one that just added autosaving and tabs. It's the perfect balance of simolicity and usability for a temp note taking app imo.
That is, if you just need a program with a text field and nothing else. If you want something more useful in general though, then the obvious answer is Notepad++.

Krita for paint, but it's not really lightweight.

Paint: pinta-project.com/ seems to have Windows builds.
Calculator: qalculate.github.io/ is the best I know of.
GitHub - microsoft/edit: We all edit.

in reply to NewNewAugustEast • • •VS Code isn't what I would call lightweight. It is 500MB of Chromium bloat doing a good job of pretending to be an extensible text editor.
That said, I learned to love it and I actually use Cursor.
