the outlook web client includes both a button to let me prompt copilot to write an email for me, as well as a button to prompt copilot to summarize an email for me. i'm so glad to live in this brave new world of interpersonal communication, in which we can use an llm to write an email which someone else will use an llm to read

probably the most niche question i've ever asked on fedi, but i wonder if there are any good vegan alternatives to hide glue. i find the advantages of hide glue really compelling, in particular how its reversibility with heat and moisture make it much more possible to create repairable furniture. unfortunately, as the name suggests, hide glue is made from animal hides and bones and the like, which i would consider to be incompatible with my vegetarianism unfortunately i don't know enough about glue production to know if this is even a sensible question. i know that the gelatin obtained by boiling collagen is one component of hide glue, and there are reasonable vegan alternatives to gelatin, but i assume that there must be more components involved in the functioning of hide glue than just pure gelatin, since i can't imagine that gelatin on its own could function as an adhesive
