This is after closing like 20 tabs finally getting something working I spent the last half day on
Screenshot from the Firefox addon Tab Session Manager with 1 browser window open containing 159 tabs. The addon frequently saves open windows and tabs so nothing is lost when the browser is closed. In the screenshot, it last saved July 17 2025 around 6:20am and was last open to Bluesky's following feed. An indicator shows the session is saved "regularly"

One annoyance I'm running into while purging outlook's vault... I *had* sweep rules set up in place to prevent emails from stacking up as bad. But as I invert sort by time and go to my oldest emails... I see the same companies I have rules for, but THEY USED DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESSES (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
A screenshot of outlook's "sweep" rules which automatically clean up folders to delete old emails. Two rules are visible and both on, set to move emails from DPAC and JCPenney that are older than 10 days to the deleted emails folder. A screenshot showing emails from 2020 in the same inbox as the previous screenshot. Several companies are visible, including DPAC and JCPenney which have slipped through the filter rules and should have been deleted. The emails are for marketing or for events that took place years ago and are no longer relevant.

I need to set up some more filter purge rules but they take so long to process I usually get distracted and forget to continue...

Working for phone companies is crazy sometimes. Doing a training for the S25 launch, which is advertising live translate as a feature... that my S22 has...

Samsung why are you like this
Screenshot of the Live Translate feature on my Samsung Galaxy S22. The feature is on, and it is showing a little animation demonstrating how to use the feature. Below that, the text reads "Get real-time translation during calls. Tap the Call assist button, then select Live translate on the in-call screen any time to start translating. All data for this feature is processed on your phone."

Correct, and then bsky will search for all of your posts with that tag and show them in one place when clicked/tapped
Screenshot of bluesky showcasing the tagging feature. Tags #anthro and #painting can be seen, and #painting has been clicked, showing the options "See #painting posts" " see #Painting posts by user" and "Mute #painting"

YOU HAVE TO THREATEN CANCELLATION TO TURN IT OFF. AND I STILL HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH FOR IT TO ACTUALLY SWITCH 😭
A plan selection page for Microsoft 365, showing Current plan with AI and an option to switch to the same plan without AI for the same price. This is only shown when attempting to cancel service completely.

So it turns out if you DNS block copilot[dot]microsoft[dot]com it stops the garbage from working 😂
A screenshot of Microsoft's forced "Copilot" AI extension in Microsoft Edge, which is not working. An error is displayed that says "copilot.microsoft.com's server IP address could not be found." A screenshot of AdGuard Home's "Filtering Check" section which tests if a website is blocked or allowed by your filters. Checking copilot.microsoft.com shows it is blocked by AI Blocklist and DNS is redirected to 0.0.0.0

Reports work

If you donate to the site you get 2 invites a week and I can't remember the last time I was below 200 invites available 😂

Honestly I forgot about an extension, I've got AdGuard Home running on a Hassio Pi 4 at the DNS level which is where it blocked it for me originally. I do have easylist/easyprivacy enabled in uBlock Origin but I've had it disabled on Bsky for a while now because there aren't any ads here

I ended up manually unblocking it using custom filtering rules which override filter lists. I couldn't really find documentation on it but I also can't find a reason for it to be blocked other than it had the word "events" in the subdomain which isn't reason enough to block it for me.
A screenshot from Adguard's "check filtering rules" section where I entered "events.bsky.app" to check how the DNS filter reacts. Below it shows the address matched my custom filtering rule and was allowed to process the DNS request.

Oh cool, they added the plagiarism machine to Notepad

Thanks Microsoft

Because that's what Notepad needed, garbage features

So Strawberries & Cream Dr Pepper tastes almost exactly like those Strawberries & Cream Creme Savers candy but carbonated.
