OpenAI says it wants to label AI-generated text as Europe tightens AI regulations. That sounds like a good idea in theory, but I’m skeptical it’s actually possible. Once AI-generated text gets copied, edited, translated, or mixed with human writing, any label or hidden signal could disappear almost immediately. In my latest article, I look at what OpenAI announced, why text provenance is much harder than image provenance, and whether this is a real solution or simply a compliance promise for regulators. https://nerds.xyz/2026/07/openai-wants-to-label-ai-generated-text-but-that-may-be-impossible/

I did it! FeedLizard is officially live on the App Store. FeedLizard is a clean, private RSS reader for iPhone and iPad. It has no subscriptions, no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking. Just a one-time $4.99 purchase. This started as a personal project because I wanted an RSS reader that worked the way I wanted. After months of designing, coding, testing, fixing bugs, and waiting for App Review, it is now available for anyone to download. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feedlizard/id6792160690 I would genuinely appreciate any downloads, shares, ratings, or feedback.

After nearly a decade of disputes, .web is finally moving toward a public launch. Verisign has added the extension to the DNS root and plans to begin offering .web domains through registrars later this year. The big question is whether .web can become a meaningful alternative to .com, or whether it will join the long list of domain extensions that never gained much traction. https://nerds.xyz/2026/07/verisign-web-domains-launch/
