    The kids are alright. Also, why aren’t more colleges and universities enlisting their students to help set policies? https://www.npr.org/2026/07/30/nx-s1-5853571/students-set-ai-policy

So the end of the semester is tomorrow at 23:59ET. Lots of finals haven’t been graded. Lots of final projects haven’t been submitted. Nobody has alternative modes for work and no backups exist.

    I&amp;#39;ve been teaching administrators around my campus that it&amp;#39;s easier to use Microsoft Teams in a browser. Less bloat, more responsive, more control over how it acts because the browser doesn&amp;#39;t just let it take actions. That&amp;#39;s step one.

Step four, we leave the Microsoft shell and gain enlightenment.
