Agreed, but I don’t always trust myself not to have clicked through something like this on autopilot and make the wrong choice.

This post had me wanting to double-check I’d opted out (I had).

Not sure why “us” is in the URL, I’m in Canada

This was actually a decent skim. Microsoft did not think that one through.

Companies paying for a corporate copilot instance to train on their SharePoint documents can inadvertently reveal the contents of those documents to anyone in the company who asks Copilot about them, even if those documents were made highly restricted - in their example, a document full of service account passwords permissioned to only be accessible by a select few members of IT (although sensible IT would be using a password manager right?)

Quite the oversight! That’s sure to slow adoption in any shops with a zero-trust or principle of least pivilege model in place, or even anywhere big that segments their teams to cut down on noise.

It’s always satisfying when someone I have tagged later confirms that tag.

I don’t know, merely not being beholden to Musk is a pretty big competitive advantage at this point.

You say, “biased towards the trans community,” I say, “biased against baseless bigotry,” as any sensible person should be.

Your ramblings may be scattered with statements that are agreeable in isolation (like “they are just people like the rest of us”), but your stance seems to ignore the fact that, unlike “the rest of us”, the trans community is being specifically targeted and marginalized, so for the sake of equity it seems fair (not biased) for the rest of us to more vehemently defend them.

He didn’t defraud Steam, he took advantage of other Steam users who are frivolous with their money, and Steam took their cut of the transaction.

It would be cool if this evolved into some sort of decentralized internet archive.

The trick is not to read the usernames. I imagine myself surrounded by millions of mostly sensible people!

A good decompiler and an auto-formatter might leave them with a nicer copy of their source code than they had in the first place.

EQ is earthquake. According to USGS, California faces a ~75% chance of a major earthquake in the next 100 years.

Have a quick google of “California quake risk” for a slew of in-depth (and somewhat scary) articles and research papers.

I would have thought California EQ was the peril scaring them all away. Very expensive to reinsure - most commercial property catasrophy models (RMS & AIR are the big ones) peg it as the second most risky North American peril after Florida Hurricane.
