I finally did it. I used an LLM. A couple of months ago, MS added its Copilot to Windows. I turned it off. But the latest update shoved it back in my face and tried to get me to let it use my data. So I asked it a question: How do I get rid of Copilot? It suggested I uninstall it like any other program, but MS removed that option. But Copilot went on to tell me the exact registry key to change to block it from loading, and now it's gone.

The core here is: - I am accepting work - If you are doing open source stuff, a hobby project, etc. I'm $25/hour. - If you're a tech company, I'm $125/hour. - If you're a small business, etc, I'm in between those two numbers, but closer to the hobby number. - I can do lots of weird computer bullshit, and I can contract out to people I already work with and trust for the small number of things I can't do myself. - Initial discussions are free, and I'll quote the whole project up front. - I'd rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations.

Want to take a vacation from open source maintenance? You should. Did you know that GitHub has a profile status feature to mark yourself as busy, mute notifications, and prompt folks who mention you that you're busy for a while? Before today the longest (optional) "automatically clear this status" preset was a week. Now the longest preset is a month. Because let's face it, a week is not always a long enough break from the demands of other people. #OpenSource #GitHub #OSS

I do wish I could tell recruiters that I’ll never apply to a company that reports record profits and also lays people off. Like why are we wasting each others time talking about corporate mottos and exciting projects? Your leadership treats people like disposable cups. That’s all I need to know. #tech #layoffs

Attached: 1 image Jack Dorsey is furious that #Bluesky has attracted "very very common" people. He also doesn't like the idea of moderation tools facilitating the banning of racists. All these tech billionaires are like a version of the movie Big, in which a pre-adolescent boy wakes up in the body of an aging Howard Hughes. Or Colonel Kurtz. Or a sardine. #JackDorsey
