After procrastinating for 2 years, my blog finally supports dark mode. GitHub Copilot was a big help. I also cut the ads waaaaaaay down. Now I can focus on creating content again.

The GitHub Copilot SDK is here 🙌
You can take the same Copilot agentic core that powers GitHub Copilot CLI and embed it in any application, with just a few lines of code.

I'm really digging the #Copilot CLI lately for troubleshooting issues in the terminal. It helped me solve a couple docker build/run issues today.
Install it on Windows with `winget install GitHub.Copilot`, then type `copilot` to launch it and you're off 🚀

I'm surprised how many devs don't use a #markdown linter. Nearly every time I open someone's .md, my linter has squiggles everywhere. It usually still renders correctly though, so does it really matter? Debating just uninstalling my linter. Do you lint?

Did you know Windows 11 has an option to end tasks right from the taskbar? 👀
So you don't need to open task manager - you can just right click the app and end it from there

iPhone user. My default browser is Edge. A follower told me my blog blog.danskingdom.com has too many ads. I thought that was weird, since I never see ads. Turns out they were right! #Edge and #Brave block ads by default. #Chrome, #Google, #Safari, and #Firefox don't. What browser do you use?

If you notice some of your automated scripts stop working correctly after installing Windows updates, this could be why.
🚨Action (Possibly) Required: KB5074204 Update for Windows PowerShell now adds a confirmation prompt when using Invoke-WebRequest.
For unattended scripts the recommendation is to add -UseBasicParsing to prevent the message and insecure code from running.

Not being able to paste into a password field is the worst. It makes the app LESS secure, as it encourages short, easy-to-remember (and type) passwords. Please ensure your apps allow pasting passwords.
