More fun building SVG + COLR v1 font support in ImageSharp. Left: DrawText renders with the required brushes. Right: glyph-path collection from TextBuilder → Fill; per-layer heuristics decide fill vs stroke (customizable). #dotnet #oss

Important Notice! Build time license keys are coming to Six Labors (future majors). Please share far and wide. sixlabors.com/posts/licenc... #dotnet #oss

How the hell do you import public and private keys into ECDsa on #dotnet framework? There’s no import methods like ImportSubjectPublicKeyInfo or ImportPkcs8PrivateKey. I’ve been looking at the runtime source and there is so much code in the implementation!

Having recently successfully battled #dotnet auth to get what I want (multiple auth schema) I've realized that it's not complexity that is the issue, it's discoverability.

10th Microsoft MVP Award in a row. I must be doing something right. #MVPBuzz

It's been a ton of work getting here but today I'm excited to announce the official commercial launch of AutoMapper and MediatR! More details here: www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a... WHEW

168.3 million downloads. 3 years of paid licensing. I still need a day job. Companies are building products on top of ImageSharp and can’t be bothered to pay. This is what it’s like building OSS in .NET. #dotnet

This will likely be the last v3 release before I release v4. Please encourage others to support the project by sharing the release and buying licenses — it directly funds development time and helps keep ImageSharp sustainable. Every license genuinely makes a difference. 🙏 #dotnet

ImageSharp v3.1.10 released. Release Notes github.com/SixLabors/Im... NuGet www.nuget.org/packages/Six... #dotnet #oss

Working on an ImageSharp issue first opened in 2018 for release with V4. github.com/SixLabors/Im... No other #dotnet image processing library or any library I know of handles these kinds of things gracefully.

Yeah, I know I've alienated some folks with my license choices. But the code is still open, and it's damn good. I just wish there was a community around it. It's lonely, and getting deep stuff like this SIMD PR reviewed is hard. github.com/SixLabors/Im... #dotnet #oss

This is an interesting ImageSharp issue that I'm very happy to be making progress on. Basically, no image software other than Adobe Photoshop and soon to be ImageSharp V4 can open these TIFF files properly. github.com/SixLabors/Im... #dotnet #oss

Does anyone know what "Total Duration" here in @VisualStudio is supposed to be a measurement of as it's sure as hell not actual time?

Using an ancient version of a library, hitting a fixed bug, and saying the license cost isn't worth it because it's just for "Excel layout heuristics" is exactly why open source maintainers burn out. If it ships, it matters. Pay for your dependencies. github.com/SixLabors/Fo...

This PR updating the ImageSharp JPEG decoder fixes an issue opened 8 years, 2 months, and 7 days ago!! V4 will support ICC profile driven colorimetric normalization on image decode. #dotnet #oss github.com/SixLabors/Im...

I still dont quite understand the math of a company that posted $25.8B in last quarter's profit then cuts 3% of their workforce maybe thats why I was never cut out for management

This is an incredibly exciting PR for ImageSharp. Just shy of 8 years in the making this will allow V4 to convert between color spaces using ICC profiles. Once merged I can build upon this technology to allow normalization on decode. Massive! github.com/SixLabors/Im... #dotnet #oss

Another fun performance PR for ImageSharp V4 which should add a nice boost on mobile. #dotnet SIMD has improved so much over the last few years! github.com/SixLabors/Im...

Is anyone else seeing an issue in Windows 11 where clicking on the thumbnail preview of an app on the taskbar does not switch to the app? I can't find anything in Feedback Hub.

I have never been “triggered” by an image until now. The line breaking!!! The sheer horror!! ⚰️

Hey @github.com where the hell have organization LFS billing settings gone? Your docs are wrong and I cannot find my setting. Completely blocked from developing right now!

This was a tough nut to crack. Text shaping is probably the most difficult problem I've ever had to work against and when things go wrong it's always incredibly hard to find out what. For me anyway.... github.com/SixLabors/Fo... #dotnet #oss

I'm trying to debug a Nodejs project unit test in VSCode and WTAF. Why can I not simply attach the debugger to the compiled js file or better yet individual scripts? Why is the developer story such absolute crap?

Finally took these guitars out of storage and put them up. It’s been years since I’ve played them (hence busted strings) but I fully intend to be shredding again properly by the end of the year.

You're all missing out on some of my best ever tweet on Twitter just now.

Fuck this attitude. You work for a large fintech, just buy a license! #dotnet

ImageSharp builds broken again by some random @github.com CI crappery. This is becoming incredibly tedious.

@mikecodes.net what tech are you using for the Avalonia docs? They look great!

It's 12:43am on a saturday morning and I'm just finishing up some work on quantizer improvements in ImageSharp V4. Take from that what you will.

What an absolute scumbag.

If you use the term “rug pull” to describe long term OSS maintainers switching to a commercial license to allow the projects to continue and put bread on the table you’re a fucking idiot.

blogged - AutoMapper and MediatR are going commercial: www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a... - I don't have details yet because I haven't worked it out yet. But wanted to give folks the heads up

For over 10 years, MassTransit has powered .NET applications worldwide across finance, healthcare, logistics, and government. Now, MT v9 will transition to a commercial model ensuring sustainability, support, and continued innovation. MT v8 remains open-source. masstransit.io/introduction...

Please someone tell me what I am missing here because I cannot fathom why the OP doesn't understand me. github.com/SixLabors/Im... #dotnet

Just gently reminded a software reseller that attempting to purchase software license under false pretenses constitutes fraud. They were trying to get a Boutique Agency quote for a multinational with 102,000 employees and a revenue of $38.5 billion in 2024.

I'd really like to ship ImageSharp V4 a lot faster but I'm stuck doing a day job integrating into 3rd party XML based APIs with docs not updated since 2012. I should have introduced license keys. #dotnet

Writing some gnarly code at the moment which provides an optimized SIMD enabled pipeline for alpha thresholding during image quantization and encoding for ImageSharp V4. Balancing ease of use with high performance is hard!! #dotnet #oss

Having a proper dumb night tonight. I can't code for shit and keep going round in circles making repeated poor decisions.

@davidfowl.com saw this and thought you’d like it. www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/s/L...

Amazing creatures what I saw in my garden today. The stick insect was around 8 inches long, the jungle huntsman around 5.

is F12 in Visual Studio ever going to take you to the rea #dotnet runtime source or should the feature just be scrapped for being worse than useless?

Me trolling #dotnet devs on reddit by quoting the AS-IS part of the license for the #oss software they’re complaining about.

I might me in the minority but the sheer volume of constant Aspire content being blasted out into the void just now puts me off ever wanting to learn about it.

My wife said I should trim my beard but I can’t bring myself to do so. Thoughts?
