Some wonderful pothole tile art around an ever-relevant Tom Robbins quote as seen during a beautiful evening stroll.

The Windows Insider mailing list sent an email today begging people to stick with them as they attempt to course correct on the mindless proliferation of Copilot and refocus on the overall experience of the OS through "being thoughtful about how and where we bring AI into Windows".

It specifically mentions they'll be "reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like" Notepad, Snipping Tool, Photos, and Widgets.

So sorry babes, but Hot Girl Linux Summer is already afoot~

Today is another reminder of the countless women—many of whom have, to society's incredible detriment, already self-selected themselves out of tech in part due to these behaviors—who are sitting on information that, in a perfect world, would reverse the hero worship too many have for certain men in this industry, including your darlings.

But they don't, because it won't.

Today Discord announced that starting next month, users will have to upload photos for a "facial age estimate" or send a "form of identification" to a third party vendor to continue using the full app after it took less than six months for a vendor breach to impact minors required to comply with ID photos last year.

Please move your communities off of it.
