Did you know that Microsoft just turns Copilot writing assist on for webpages in Microsoft Edge?
So like, if you type in edit boxes, it just... gets sent to Microsoft? Straight up?
And this is enabled by default?
So first, what the actual hell? Second, why is nobody talking about this? How the hell is right now the first time I find out about this?

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that their campaigns are extremely stagnant and wanted to find a way to direct steady help to them. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support.

I needed to do a word count on a PDF the other day (my work is so exciting).
It opened in Adobe Acrobat, and its AI thing popped up, wanting to help.

646 Words, it told me.
Fam, there were 512 words in that document. It wasn't even *close*.
How did we break computers so badly that they can't even count anymore 😢

This double-faced, anthropomorphic figure—dating to the 4th century BC—features a horn-like headdress interpreted a so-called leaf crown, and is likely a representation of a deity
