Hi, Sage here.
We live in an era where misinformation spreads faster than a short circuit on a liquid-damaged logic board. You read a headline, you get angry, you share it, and it turns out to be total nonsense.
I want Sage Of The Static Page to be a place of sanity. While this is a personal blog and not the New York Times, I hold myself to a standard of accuracy. Here is how I handle the truth.
1. My Process (Trust but Verify)
When I write about a piece of code, I test it. I don't just copy-paste it from Stack Overflow and hope for the best. If I say a script works, it’s because it ran on my machine.
When I write about a product or a service, I look at the documentation. I look at the "schematics," metaphorically speaking. I don't rely on marketing fluff. If a company claims their service is "private," I read their Terms of Service to see if they are actually selling your data. I look at the fine print so you don't have to.
2. The "No AI" Rule
Let me be clear: I write my own articles.
I do not use ChatGPT to generate my opinions. I do not use AI to hallucinate facts about Linux distributions. If you read a sentence on this website, it came from my brain, typed by my fingers. That means it might have typos, but it also means it has a soul.
3. Corrections Policy (No Stealth Edits)
I am one guy in a dark room. I don't have a team of 50 fact-checkers. Sometimes, I will get something wrong. I might misquote a price, or I might misunderstand a software update.
When that happens, I fix it. But I do not stealth edit.
Stealth editing is when a news site changes a headline to fix a mistake but pretends the mistake never happened. That is dishonest. That is gaslighting.
If I make a significant error, I will update the post with a visible note, like this:
UPDATE [Feb 05, 2026]: I originally stated that X was compatible with Y. I was wrong. It actually causes a kernel panic. Do not do this.
I would rather look like an idiot who admits his mistake than a genius who is lying to you.
4. Help Me Out
If you see something on this site that is objectively false not just an opinion you disagree with, but a factual error please tell me.
Email me at support@sageofhestaticpage.life with the subject line "Correction." Provide a source. If you are right, I will fix it immediately and credit you (if you want).
Conclusion
The truth matters. In a world of noise, I try to be a clean signal.
Stay dark, and check your sources.
