AI helpers can now rummage through multiple documents

The Register asked Microsoft about the privacy implications and what happens to user data while an agent does its thing, but other than acknowledging our question, the company did not respond.

Issue and PR threads are invaluable documentation for a project, it's difficult to migrate to another code host when years of knowledge are locked into your old hosting service. So I built a couple of scripts to archive issues, pull requests, comments, and source code from github repositories, and to turn them into static sites! With the accelerating exodus away from github, I've heard from a lot of people that there aren't any good tools for archiving that knowledge in a human-readable format, so I thought this would be a useful tool to make. The initial release is ready, and just in time for github to start charging for self-hosted runners!

If you try it out, let me know what you think. There's definitely areas that can be improved on :)

TLDW: "Linux Subsystem for Windows"

It's still a VM over RDP, but useful for running stubborn software like Photoshop or native MS Office in windowed mode within your own Linux DE and application launcher with shared volume mounts on Linux host.

Some minor misconceptions, but an interesting perspective from a user without an IT background.

Wonder what tripped them up about Thunderbird docking/networking and what solved it?
