As organizations look at leverage Microsoft Copilot, they often hit challenges with their data that often lacks the appropriate permissions and controls. Help is at hand! Video at youtu.be/uZ-05Jg5ti0. #microsoft #microsoftcopilot #copilot #ai #aiagents #sharepoint #microsoftpurview

OK, Bluesky. Time for an early preview. (X hasn't seen this yet) I've shipped a 9-lesson tutorial on the Model Context Protocol - the USB-C of AI. It'll take you from "WTF is MCP" to shipping your own servers to the world. And, it's free. Check it out: www.aihero.dev/model-contex...

End-to-end encryption just survived a major attack in France. This isn’t just a local victory–it’s a global message: Privacy and security are not negotiable.

I use colors for my calendar already, but this is a great system for which colors to pick!

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Progress on the new #PiDP-1 (logically, the new PDP-1 replica) is sufficient to open a Hackaday project page for it: hackaday.io/project/2025... One more month, is the idea, and then it is done! Angelo and I will be doing a two-week sprint that should tie up all the loose ends in April.

This week is 1 of 3 Fix Hack Learn (FHL) weeks in my org. Spending a bit of time organizing a group to create new community samples but learning more about #GitHubCopilot, public APIs, #PowerShell multi-threading, @streamdeck.bsky.social automation, and more. Thankful @microsoft.com supports this!

RIP Skype. Microsoft is officially shutting down Skype in May, and replacing it with Microsoft Teams. I spoke to Microsoft about why it's retiring Skype and how it's phasing out its phone calling features. Full details and interview below 👇 www.theverge.com/news/621353/...

Flock Safety is trying to use trademark law to silence one of its critics. EFF is helping DeFlock.me resist censorship of its map of automated license plate readers.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The Department of Government Efficiency is ransacking multiple federal agencies, without oversight or safeguards, and EFF is glad to join the brigade of lawsuits to protect this critical information.

Picture to get your attention: The SAVE act will effect ANYONE who has changed their name and doesn't have an updated passport. ANYONE WITH A LEGAL NAME CHANGE. Call your representatives. If this passes, millions of people won't be able to vote. carlynbeccia.medium.com/the-save-act...

The U.K. government's insistence that Apple creates an encryption backdoor undermines our right to private spaces. Apple must resist these efforts.

A friend recently shared an article about developers' productivity... newsletter.techworld-with-milan.com/p/context-sw... It resonated... but it's not just for developers. It's for anyone who does "deep work". What's that exactly? 🤔 Deep Work & Mental Houses of Cards 🧵 👇
