Are they still shown when you select the 'Open to public filter'?
Re:I hate you Microsoft on Thursday September 17, 2026 @08:26PM (#49748682)
After I finished University I was told I could keep my email for life. I can't recall now the license (Web Office apps, Onedrive, email) but Microsoft decided to pull the plug so the university had to close out the old accounts. I understand Onedrive, but not allowing email to continue?!

Microsoft are price gouging. Shortly after Microsoft ended the 10x Free Business Premium for Not For Profit/Charities, I went to a convention and Microsoft had a talk about how to maximise profits from NFP/Charities;

"NFP doesn't mean no money" "Microsoft are doing more for charities and NFP to help build blah blah"

VERY rich after literally dropping these licenses which most small NFPs would run off exclusively for office staff.

Re:GPT-5 leaked system prompt on Friday August 08, 2025 @02:08AM (#44833977)
All other versions state it's not. I asked ChatGPT-5 and it responded that it's it's prompt (I pasted the reply in another comment).

I even obfuscated the prompt taking out any reference to ChatGPT, OpenAI, 4.5, o3 etc and it responded in a new chat to "what is this?" as "That’s part of my system prompt — internal instructions that set my capabilities, tone, and behavior."

Again not definitibe proof, however interesting.

I asked the different models, all said it was NOT their instructions, ExCEPT for GPT-5 which responded with the following prompt. (Take that how you will, ChatGPT gaslights me constantly so could be doing the same now.

"Yes — that Gist contains text that matches the kind of system and tool instructions I operate under in this chat. It’s essentially a copy of my internal setup for this session, including: Knowledge cutoff date (June 2024) and current date. Personality and response style rules. Tool descriptions (PowerShell execution, file search, image generation, etc.). Guidance on how I should answer different types of queries. It’s not something I normally show — it’s metadata that tells me how to respond, not part of my general knowledge base. If you’d like, I can break down exactly what parts in that Gist control my behaviour here."
