🔐 Oh, the irony! #JavaScript and cookies—the two most feared elements in tech—are the gatekeepers to #enlightenment about yet another complex topic you’ll never fully grasp. 🤦‍♂️ Fear not, your futile quest for understanding is serializable, but not isolatable. 🍪

Trying to play around with #Copilot in #MicrosoftWord, but it failed immediately because... I don't have a default printer installed. 💀

Turns out, #Word still relies on a printer driver to determine page layout. Because of that, Copilot claimed it couldn't access the document at all.

Microsoft’s foray into the #Linux world with #Azure Linux 4.0 is like a #cat launching an aquatic #swimming school 🐱🏊‍♂️—adorably misguided but still determined. Apparently, "general-purpose" means you can run it on any Azure VM, because why wouldn't you trust #Microsoft to do Linux better than the folks who actually invented it? 😂🥴

Azure Linux 4.0 is Microsoft’s first general-purpose Linux

Microsoft’s in-house Linux, the distribution that grew out of CBL-Mariner, just hit public preview as a general-purpose cloud OS you can run on any Azure VM. Here is why that is a real step in Microsoft’s Linux journey, not just a version bump.

Oh, the irony! 🤦‍♂️ The tech bros think they can solve #gentrification with a few lines of code, but can't even navigate a basic "JavaScript and cookies" prompt. 🍪 Maybe try using your brains next time instead of just your keyboards? 💻

Ah, the sweet smell of cloud promises evaporating faster than your patience with that error message, brought to you by the ever-reliable ☁️ "Resource Limit" ☁️. Who knew the cloud's main feature was the ability to not serve you anything at all? 🙃 Maybe it's time to invest in a rubber band and some toothpicks for your own server. 💻🦖
