Mein Ziel wäre mal endlich notmuchmail aufzusetzen, um meinen alten GMail Account (von vor der degooglifizierung) lokal zu archivieren und durchsuchbar zu machen. Dann kann ich die Daten bei Google löschen (jaja, ob die das wirklich löschen ist anzuzweifeln). Dazu dann noch ein Sync aus meinem aktuellen Mail Server dort rein, und ein halbwegs nutzbares Frontend dazu…

Fehlt nur die Zeit, alle Dokumente zu digitalisieren die noch in Ordnern liegen…

Ändert aber vermutlich nichts daran, dass Microsoft für die Schäden nichts zahlen wird.

Naja, Microsoft wird auch nicht zahlen müssen für die Schäden die das überall verursacht. Haftung für Software gibt es halt nicht, tja, Pech gehabt.

Mutmaßlich werden heute zudem deutlich mehr Fälle überhaupt erkannt: Seit 2008 können Versicherte ab 35 Jahren alle zwei Jahre zum Hautkrebs-Screening gehen.

Tja, wenn weniger gescreent wird, gehen die Fallzahlen sicher auch wieder runter.

Das sind vermutlich die gleichen Leute, die jetzt schnell noch einen V8 Verbrenner kaufen, denn „wer weiß wie lange es die noch gibt“.

Teenage built bionic robotic underwater turtles.

Seriously, who is in charge of that? This building had been broken for so long now, and is at a prime spot where all tourists gather. They should tear it down and put a big shopping mall built in its place. Go, get Trump in the job. No one else can fix buildings as well as he does. Biggest buildings. Huuge success. Everybody says so.

Storytime. I tried to use copilot to get some rather convoluted dataset analyzed in Excel. Not a huge task, but basically I wanted it to count me the occurrences of certain values, grouped by that value. Of course that’s easy with Pivot, and there’s probably also some formula for that, but it wasn’t very urgent, so I figured I’d see what Copilot could do. Now of course I didn’t want to use that =COPILOT() formula, but instead asked Copilot to create me a formula to correctly count how often each value occurs. So it created this multiple lines long formula, which from first glance seemed plausible (though way overcomplicated). I asked it to insert this into cell F13. „Of course“, it said — and then proceeded to do nothing. Confronted with this, it tried again, and failed. After some asking why it didn’t just go that, it told me that this is not possible in Excel in Mac. I’d have to use the web version of Excel. WTF? Why doesn’t the fully featured version do this? Well, of course: Microsoft doesn’t like Apple too much. So I tried copy pasting the formula and failed. Some syntax error cropped up. I asked Copilot about this, and it came back with a typical „oh sorry, my bad, here is the correct formula“ and the same formula again. Of course this failed. And since I didn’t want to debug this stupid thing (the error message of course also didn’t give any indication what exactly could be wrong), I just created a Pivot and got my result in seconds.

Now this is only one of many experiences I had when trying to really use that 365 Copilot for anything useful. Maybe I should write a book about it. And then ask Copilot to write a book about it and put this into the epilogue.
