Question

Well this is my first delphi program (and first one posted in this forum :D ) I have ever made, it changes your OEM Info found in the My Computer->Properties dialog. I am distributing it as freeware, what do you ppl think of it? should I distribute the source for people to learn how to use Delphi? any suggestions to add features?

No this program currently does not use any API because I use the WritePrivateProfileString in Visual Basic and it did not work so good in Windows 9x. I will see about the open source thing, because I dont like it when i put stuff on PlanetSourceCode, only to find my exact program in a few days, evn with the same comments sometimes :D .

Here's something I did in Delphi.

It took me several hours to make it and I have no experience in Delphi.

It just adds or removes some stuff from the registry so it's very basic but it shows that you can make a simple program without that much programming knowledge. It also makes use of XPs visual styles

    • Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data by David Uzondu Mastodon has updated its terms of service to explicitly prohibit scraping its platform to train artificial intelligence models. The new rules, which kick in on July 1, make it perfectly clear that using automated tools to slurp up user data from its main server, Mastodon.social, for LLM training is a big no-no. Neowin received a copy of an email sent to users, notifying them of the change, which introduces new language prohibiting the "scraping of user data for unauthorized purposes, e.g., archival or large language model (LLM) training." Here's a snippet from the updated terms of service: This policy change comes at a time when users are getting increasingly ###### off about their public posts becoming free fuel for the AI gold rush. In fact, this is probably good news for the same crowd over on Bluesky that freaked out after a massive, user-traceable dataset of their public posts was compiled and uploaded for AI research. AI bot scraping has become a huge problem for everyone from giants like Reddit, which is now suing Anthropic, makers of Claude, for training on its posts without a license, to even Neowin readers, like Gerowen, who noted how a swarm of bots, including one Claudebot (you don't say!), hammered his personal server with over 700,000 requests in 24 hours, putting a huge strain on his "home NAS running on an old PC tower in the back woods of Kentucky." It is important to remember that Mastodon is a federated network. These new terms apply specifically to the Mastodon.social server, which is operated directly by Mastodon gGmbH. This means that while users on the main instance are now protected, those on other independent servers in the "fediverse" will only get the same protection if their instance administrators adopt similar terms. The company is globally enforcing a new minimum age requirement of 16 for all users, raising it from the previous limit of 13.
    • Keep in mind that updates for it end on Oct 13, 2026. While this may not matter much for those who don't care about features, it might for fixes, and it certainly would for security.
