A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Asking in real-time wouldn't help in this scenario (e.g. some mirror is no longer accessible). If anything, it'd just lead you further astray and waste more time, because GPT's knowledgebase doesn't have this knowledge.
