  • I think the misunderstanding here is in thinking ChatGPT has “languages”. It doesn’t choose a language. It is always drawing from everything it knows. The ‘configuration’ hence is the same for all languages, it’s just basically an invisible prompt telling it, in plain text, how to communicate.

    When you change/add your personalized “Custom Instructions”, this is basically the same thing.

    I would assume that this invisible context is in English, no matter what. It should make no difference.







  • Bvckup (not a typo)

    Made by a little Swiss company, extremely light but very competent. Stays completely out of your way unless it absolutely must get your attention (which is usually never).

    I think it’s paid only but it’s very reasonable. Works great in intermittent situations, I. E. It won’t blow up if it tries to run a scheduled backup and the source or target is disconnected etc… Works very well for me for a decade.




  • Lived at a farm that got some organic farming approvals; it depends on the country. And perhaps even your region. In my country, you can get certain approvals/certifications for organic farming, and the regulations for that is very strict. Things like “chemical” (synthetic) pesticides are forbidden outright, so are strong fertilizers etc. This has government oversight, so, there are randomized sampling and testing done on approved entities (farms, companies).

    Sadly this often leads to higher costs and more land use. Like it or not, a lot of the things forbidden do lead to much higher yields etc. The end result is higher prices; organic (certified) products are quite expensive here.
