I wanted to give copilot a try and asked, "what is 17:00 GMT in eastern time?" It told me 22:00 eastern. lol. This was the copilot in Bing. I then tried in the windows + c version of copilot and that gave me the right answer.
Hmm. I'm going back to Gemini now. ✨

Okay, so I am a bit, just a bit guilty of procrastinating on the things I really, really need to do in favor of other tasks that also need to be done, but are not as high of priority. Posting this post is evidence. 😅

Oh, I actually love these little modals that remind you to attach files for emails. They really are a life saver!
However, I do remember telling teachers that I really did forget to attach the file (when I actually didn't do the assignment) and I guess that excuse doesn't work anymore. 😅

I love Patreon's new web dark mode and they also even changed a lot of the buttons to have darker backgrounds with light text. (Actual dark mode)
Can we just fix the create button at the bottom left? It's glaringly bright. That would be lovely! 🙏
