It's very simple really. There are Drives and Sites. You can find your Sites in Teams where they are called Channels. Or Files in Channels. Sites are also in SharePoint. Drives are also in SharePoint but you can't access them that way except by accident. Libraries are Groups that are also Files (but Teams calls these Knowledge Bases). You can save things in Notebooks which are saved in a Drive but can also contain Drives or Sites (but not Teams, which are what Teams calls Teams and where Channels are stored, which SharePoint and OneDrive call Sites). Copilot is both a way to access Sites and Drives, and a way to produce lies. Nobody knows what 365 means. If all of this is overwhelming, consider speaking to your administrator about whether Microsoft Death is right for you.

@anon_opin our man here watches only Lawrence of Arabia without an intermission at the cinema.

@JulietEMcKenna @pikesley this isn’t even conspiracy, it’s OpenAI’s business plan. Initial investors don’t get any money back until they develop AGI, which they will then task to making as much money as possible.

Someone I know got caught up in the Unbound mess, and this LLM generated summary of the email by Google is the most soulless shit ever. Yes, it accurately summarises the key points. No, it doesn’t in any way encapsulate the hurt, and the guilt at people having trusted her with their money and it being lost without any books being delivered.

I need to cook dinner for the boy but Tolly is having none of it.

@q it’s fast food with airs and graces to being more.

@jackeric (apparently hustler is now a good thing, and not as previously a synonym for conman)

@jackeric it’s how you can tell they’re hustlers who’ll be rolling in cash within minutes.

Lesson learned today: don’t think “hey, I’ll just eat when I get back from the gym”, because that results in eating a huge meal at 10pm, and then I’m not at all tired at half midnight despite needing to be up in the morning.

Another day, another minor crisis caused by me not putting something in my calendar.

@tommorris @jackeric unfortunately all coverage of laws is played as a Westminster soap opera because it gets covered by the political reporters, who don’t really have any in-depth knowledge of anything other than the Westminster social scene.

Seeing the British political media turn the debate about into a catty fight between Peter Kyle and Farage without looking at the underlying problem—namely, the legislation being an overly complicated dogs dinner—is sadly predictable.

Nor is anyone talking about how it’s a regulatory moat that protects the big players like Facebook rather than holding them to a much higher standard.

@skjeggtroll @jackeric @itsOasus both Google and Apple have systems like that based on their mobile wallets in development but the UK government being the UK government decided that would make sense and pushed on with the current piss poor solution instead.

What is with all the Sendgrid spam? I swear every other email I get is someone trying to steal some Sendgrid credentials.

@q that’s loads of space, you could five people in that for a 3 hour journey. They’ll be best friends by the time they get where they’re going.

- Hey, you know how salmon jump up waterfalls on their way to spawn? I managed to catch one on video.

- Nice. You haven't done anything stupid to this amazing, strong, determined, creature have you?

- I said...

- I heard what you said.

All search boxes ever: if there are results for what I typed in but none for what your autocorrection thinks I meant to type it’s safe to assume I knew what I was doing.

@an0key @russss I think most people treat streamer “subscriptions” as more of a tip than something with any attached expectations.

@eskibrew @jmacarthur I find that promotional photo very amusing. Traditional TV person: smiling, but looking casual and approachable. YouTuber: Grinning like a loon and pointing at something.

The online safety act scams have started already, Christ

@gsuberland that’s been my conclusion whenever I touch it as well. It’s Fine, but I find it quite tedious to write, and too verbose to read.

My phone just asked me whether [number] is still my phone number to make sure I can recover access. Surely it can just ask the SIM card?

@fesshole Christ. Just buy yourself a coke and a chocolate bar, she’s your wife not your mother. Or I hope so anyway.

@andypiper @skylar the curse of the Net Promoter Score, somehow considered to be a valid substitute for managers going out into the world and seeing what the service their responsible for is like.
