I managed to get Copilot removed from pretty much everywhere on @github.com by contacting their support!
First I asked them to remove complimentary free access to Copilot Pro, but I still kept seeing various Copilot buttons, and an option to assign Copilot as a reviewer.

Today in English headaches:
If the use of "a" vs. "an" depends on pronunication, is it correct to write "a AAA game company", assuming most people pronounce it "a triple-A" and not "an A-A-A"?
From a quick search, there are plenty of uses of both. I even found uses of both in the SAME ARTICLE!

I might have to start filtering my RSS feeds, I'm starting to get tired of @microsoft.com shoving Copilot into every fucking article.
I tried it for over a year, it's not even that useful. Constantly advertising your crap won't make me want to use it again.

JetBrains Writerside EAP Expiration Bypass

Unfortunately, JetBrains decided to sunset the standalone Writerside IDE in favor of the plugin. I installed the plugin into IntelliJ, opened a project, and the IDE froze. Incredible.
Writerside EAP expires in 5 days, so I'm looking forward to reverse-engineering and bypassing the expiration check.

Looking into what it'd take to a Bluesky client, whose only purpose is showing desktop notifications in the style of my old TweetDuck app.
I want to keep this brutally lightweight - just API calls to get timeline updates, and a Windows Forms popup. No bundled Chromium.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

I’ve been on Bluesky for a while now and I’m glad a lot of new people are coming over from X, and if I had one tip for them it would be to get used to seeing drawings of beefy animals with dicks the size of Stanley tumblers.

Hi! You may know me from Minecraft mods, IntelliJ plugins, Discord History Tracker, or my old Twitter client TweetDuck.
I've been less active on social media overall since Twitter killed 3rd party clients, but I'll occasionally check here and post development updates as I've been doing on Mastodon.
