As much as I hate generative AI, I am finding the built-in Copilot app quite handy for answering questions like "what the hell does this mean?"

This is the design I've always wanted. The top left could be the seven-pointed star or something more elaborate. The red represents Uluru, but also the rising sun, tying us to Asia. Green and gold represent the rich coasts and the central desert.

How am I just now learning about this bizarre PowerShell 5.1 behaviour?

Write-Output "hello" + " world"

... outputs the three elements separately, one per line, rather than concatenating first and outputting a single line.

@powershelluniversal.com @adamrdriscoll.com Is this something we need to worry about? We're using Azure Key Vault for the PSU's secrets. We're currently still on v4.2.21 of PSU.

On 27 February 2027, all Azure Key Vault API versions prior to 2026-02-01 will be retired.

Seriously, the @bsky.app Android app signs me out every two days on average. It's ridiculous, and extra painful when the only MFA option they have is email. If you're going to expire tokens like this, give me passkey support or something!

All the "sign into Bluesky" messages in my "Deleted Items" email folder. One every couple of days.

Cloverpit done (for now).

You've unlocked all achievements1 30/30 (100%)

What features are restricted, @bsky.app? I haven't noticed anything "missing".

Bluesky's warning that "certain features" are restricted because I haven't verified my age.

One more CloverPit achievement left, and this one's gonna be a doozy. (I'm halfway there - 10/20 holographic right now.)

Guess who managed to tear off two fingernails while hurriedly trying to pull our luggage off the shelf when the train arrived at our station? One panic attack and embarrassing faint on the platform later, I'm bandaged up and ready for Jeonju!

Today we learned about the May 18th uprising in Gwangju back in 1980. Horrifying. And even more horrifying to think the US is headed in exactly the same direction.

The freakin' keyboard language switcher in Windows 11 is buggy as hell. I *only* have en-AU installed, but the system tray icon will randomly appear, and the menu will have en-UK or en-US (or sometimes both) in it.

OK so this is the top solution to yesterday's challenge (reformatted with line breaks). @kevinpowell.co Can you explain why this works? Perhaps a good topic for a video? I'd love to see you break down some of these wacky solutions.

Everyone's got the whole "Brand New Day" thing wrong. It isn't the "Day" trilogy, it's the "Brand" trilogy! Sadie Sink in part 1 is playing Brandy Clark from ROM. Part 2 will be Spidey vs Firebrand. And the big finale introduces Star Brand to the MCU! /cc @nandovmovies.bsky.social

OK part two! Summaries transition too now. Also, watch when the vertical scrollbar appears how the little "Posts" nav link at the top right smoothly moves across to make space. Very slick. :) HT @martr.app for the idea of how to do the summary transition.
