Are your .NET 10 Framework Dependent (not self-contained) EXEs 5x larger than they were on .NET 9? | by Joseph Finney buff.ly/SyBUWxa #dotnet

Are your .NET 10 Framework Dependent (not self-contained) EXEs 5x larger than they were on .NET 9? While building the unpackaged binaries for Text Grab I couldn't understand why the build of --self-contained false was not producing EXEs that were any smaller than --self-contained true. Copilot and…

For some reason Text Grab is behaving like Win+Shift+F is now is reserved hotkey... when did that happen? Did I miss a blog post? @jenmsft.bsky.social

Finally got around to updating the MagickCrop logo and adding Trdo on my website joefinapps.com

Released a preview of Text Grab, give it a try! github.com/TheJoeFin/Te...

Lil rainy in Seattle this weekend, who would’ve guessed

The Surface Flex keyboard really does enable different more flexible ways of working.

INotifyPodcastChanged Episode 12: Enterprise Apps with Ginny Caughey and hosts Joseph Finney & Tamás Deme buff.ly/DBE92af #podcast #devcommunity #windowsdev #dotnet #mvpbuzz

@bdsams.com you mentioned on the Sams Report that you made an app, is this app in the world or still in development?

🎙️ Just published a new episode of INotifyPodcastChanged: Episode 12: Enterprise Apps with Ginny Caughey. Have a listen:

When coding with LLMs in Agent mode they tend to make a bunch of extra files which can be helpful for communicating cross threads, but also for debugging... but now the question arises, should these files be kept or discarded?

I know I'm biased, but Trdo is my new favorite app. Now it is super easy to search for internet radios and the whole thing feels so simple and clean. Also remember 100% in the tray, as minimal as minimal can be! apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nxt4...

I finally have an iPhone with a programmable action button, so I did the obvious thing and programmed it to open Bixby

Super interesting post by @filipw.strathweb.com about how to use expensive Cloud LLMs to coordinate the work of less expensive local LLMs. I might try to recreate a similar demo using WinAI APIs and see if I get similarly good results! www.strathweb.com/2025/10/llm-...

The Shriek of the Window In the year of dread—two thousand twenty-five, A whisper stirred where code did strive. The system woke with update dire, Its breath a chill, its heart a wire. ...

New App Announcement – Trdo: a minimal Tray Radio In keeping with the theme of minimal, I'll keep this short. The experience i was trying to reproduce is that of getting into your car and turning on the radio with one push of a button. Jumping between stations was simple and easy too. Play / Pause…

The new WinUIEx logo is looking niiiiiiice!!

I feel like I've been hearing about git integration into File Explorer for a long time now... did I miss something? When is that coming out? @kaylacinnamon.bsky.social

Oooo! WinAppSDK 2.0 experimental is out! github.com/microsoft/Wi...

AI in the cloud dominates, but what can you run locally? @thejoefin.com talks on .NET Rocks at www.dotnetrocks.com/details/1970 about the variety of local models that exist today, how you can make your own, and how LLMs can fit into this equation!

Looking forward to adding GitHub Copilot CLI to Claude and Codex to build projects. Everything is moving fast, and it is exciting to see Copilot enter the CLI world! github.blog/changelog/20...

Hey that's new @github.com github.blog/changelog/20...

This new WinML Stuff is pretty cool! Looks like it is just going to be easier to target more devices to use Local AI

Fixed now with the update which was just released

Hoping to see a new build of Visual Studio that fixes the completely broken Copilot issue. It is wild that with all of the emphasis on AI, Microsoft allowed an outage to continue for almost a week (so far) on their premiere IDE

I will be upgrading my SSD on my Surface Pro from 512 to 2TB today, and I'm going to try to use Winget configure to speed up the new drive setup! For those unfamiliar, Winget will export a file which describes what is installed on the device! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

GitHub Copilot is broken in VS2022 for some users, Microsoft has a fix "pending release" but in the meantime suggests users use Copilot in VS Code or rollback their install. Ooof. developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Github-Cop...
