I got a bit too excited, there. After a quick look around, the off switch is ONLY available in #Microsoft Word.

Still can't turn Copilot off in PowerPoint. (Also not sure that it’s IN Excel & Outlook. Haven’t seen the logo pop up in them yet.)

In the meantime, manage your connected experiences.

Version 16.94 of the #Mac OS #Microsoft Office 365 apps dropped today (Word, Outlook, Excel, etc.).

This version *finally* provides a #Copilot #AI section in the settings and exposes an off switch for the entire Copilot feature set. I feel comfortable using it for work again.

Spread the word. :)

Alright, here we go. I found the original 2011 instructions for Dropbox’s automatic photo gallery generation feature. This actually sounds pretty convenient for just showing people some photos you took.

Apparently, I've had my @dropboxofficial.bsky.social since 2011. When they added their photos features (the original ones, I guess?) they added a “Sample Album” of three photos to … make sure I knew what a photo was? 2011-2025 … it’s been a minute.

Anyhow, Dropbox Photos vibes, circa 2011:

Happy New Year’s Eve!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #5,882,337!

In case anyone needs a little bit of encouragement to get to Friday. :)

@microsff.com is this your account as well? I found it in a threads screenshot of …somewhere else. It’s awesome. I love micro fiction. Doing so much with so little is a truly challenging art.

I pulled these today for a different reason, but once I saw them side-by-side …

Nurse Ogawa in these photos demonstrates the cost of what the galaxy called on Starfleet to become in the decade spanning 2365-2375.

Farewell, Patti Yasutake. Thank you for sharing your gift & joy with us.

I don’t talk about being a permanently disabled adult much. #Disability is understandably frightening to people who aren’t disabled, and honest commentary about living with it daily is not often welcome.

I don’t Tumblr a lot either. It’s my era, but the format isn’t mine.

But this person gets it.

I’m not a fan of Montblanc Midnight Blue. It’s fantastically bland, and kind of pale.

Their limited edition Pink Ink, on the other hand, is actually pretty good. Though, it’s a bit too light for regular use.

1/5 pink:4/5 blue ended up giving me a pleasing purplish-grey. 50:50 next. #fountainpen
