Real SyntacticPSA to Cdn users of <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> Personal 365 (my condolences if, like me, you are stuck with this thing.) Renewal price for annual subscription has just jumped from Cdn $79 to $115, which is IMO highway robbery. If, however, from your account, you click “turn off renewing subscription,” you’ll be taken to a menu with a $79 “classic option”: office suite for a bunch of devices without the <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> (“<a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Copilot</a>”), which you probably didn’t want anyway. <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a>

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyHey, a guy I know just discovered that because his workplace is on managed <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a>, doing a <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Copilot</a> search (by accident, btw, because MS deliberately sneaks CP into what people think are their regular workflows) returns files from every department, including sensitive, possibly confidential information - and he's pretty sure nobody, including the IT department, is aware of this.

MarTooThis week I was allowed to answer an online questionnaire about the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> AI <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Copilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Copilot</a> and gave my feedback. Once Copilot has been installed, and in most institutes and universities in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Finland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finland</a> it is pre-installed without asking the users, it can no longer be uninstalled. Sometimes it is so counterproductive that it really gets in the way when writing emails and interferes with writing without authorisation and slows down productivity. So my feedback was naturally not positive.

Kay :heart_bi: :tinoflag:I had <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> added to my home PC for work reasons.

I prefer to set my own filters on information not waste electricity on things I don't use and find complicity with theft of intellectual property or authors' books abhorrent.
