@hannah yes!
I believe these travelled to Australia a few years back?
if not some very similar unicorn focussed tapestries were on exhibition briefly at the National Gallery in Canberra, will have to fact check my memory now, but they were amazing!

@trochee 100% my experience with CoPilot, and I'm only asking it to help with MS products.... I do not recommend

@ben_hr is there a support group for those forced to use the MS ecosystem now known as CoPilot?

in good faith I thought I'd test it with questions around Power Automate flows (surely it has access to all MS documentation?)
but it seems to know nothing of how Power Automate functions, or what the user interface is like, but it does love repeating itself and adding unnecessary steps.

I find my swearing at the screen has increased dramatically

"We need practical collaboration between educators at all levels to challenge the way AI is flooding the zone, or the students of the future will be fully AI-cooked even before they make it to university."

An important and timely provocation to action from Dan McQuillan.

I was going to be working with folks from Intensive care and emergency departments today.
Been suffering with snot for a few days, was COVID negative last swab,
thought I'd best do due diligence and swab again this morning...
what do you know, it wasn't just man-flu, it is COVID :(

it appears to be in a bit of a resurgance, have heard a number of folks stating that they or family members have had it in past weeks..

last time I was at the GP I asked for the booster, but they were out of stock - I should have booked back in immediately

@phocks I do believe that is how these things work, basically by receiving the replacement you have now completed the finding spell

Went to the launch of The Nightmare Sequence at Smith's Alternative in Canberra last night, a book collaboration between Safdar Ahmed (drawings) and Omar Sakr (poems), on Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The book shows two artists struggling with how to use their voices to respond to this horror. At a time when so much of the arts and cultural establishment in Australia have gone to water. A moving act of love and solidarity.

Available directly from the University of Queensland Press https://www.uqp.com.au/books/the-nightmare-sequence or good book shops.

All artist royalties from the sale of the book are being donated to Gaza relief.
