Does anyone have the "Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview" archived! I'm specifically looking for the community preview version, which comes with Windows Mobile 2003 images rather than WM5. Trying to emulate an obscure Rayman version (Rayman Ultimate).

Microsoft are homophobic prudes
So I’ve been using Microsoft Stream at work to auto-caption videos. Part of my job is quality assurance so I double-check the captions for errors.
One recent annoyance is that the captioning software censors some words, replacing them with asterisks. One word in particular that has been a thorn in my side is the word “nipple”. I have had to work on several BREASTFEEDING videos. Needless to say, I’ve been retyping in the word “nipple” a lot.
Come to today, I’m working on a video about transgender and non-binary folks. The speaker said, “There is no such thing as straight sex and gay sex.” Lo and behold Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to censor the words “gay sex”. “Straight sex” is uncensored.
I’m fucking livid, but I have no real way to contact Microsoft on this. But, mark it down and spread the word, Microsoft are fucking homophobic prudes.

Years ago Dragoneer bought me a new PC when mine was dying. He wanted to keep it private. I asked him what I could do in return. He simply said to just keep doing what I was doing. He would visit my streams, commissioned me more than once, and supported both my plush campaigns. Thank you for supporting me 'Neer...

Of course of course as part of that you also have to do another API call for every mention to resolve the handle to a DID
God forbid it does literally anything for you
Is this really what you have to do to put a mention or a link into a post. i am going to fucking piss
like when replying to a post you don't just need to supply the id of the post being replied to but also the id of the root post in the thread so you have to go and fetch the post you're replying to to find out if it has a root post
and whenever i've said "id" here it's not really an id it's a "strong reference" which consists of a uri and a hash & you get those after posting a post but you can't retrieve a post using them directly, you have to parse out the uri into separate components yourself
since i've been working on updating my old twitter bot code to support multiple platforms and add features i am currently concluding that bluesky has the most annoying api
What is your favorite cocktail? — honestly i don't drink cocktails regularly enough to have a favourite, if i find myself in a cocktail bar i just pick something i fancy off the menu. but i like a mojito, i like an old fashioned. maybe something with midori. or a long island iced tea cos it gets me drunk https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112899783195651083
