Is this happening to anybody else? When using the "add suggestion to batch" option in the GitHub code review interface, I see this error. It suggests an issue with a backend service, but everything else about GitHub and the code review interface seems fine... #GitHub #Bug #CodeReview

.NET 10 introduces file-based apps and it feels like it is going to be very useful. This is Sharp-Script the way I always thought it should work, and it brings C# much closer to being competitive with other modern languages again... www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/s/i...

UK address data is expensive, hard to access and hard to correct. This holds back businesses and organisations that rely on address data. One tiny act of rebellion: Go add the addresses near you to OpenStreetMap using MapComplete. The more of us who do it, the more useful it becomes. 🙌 #OpenData

"Unlike most countries, in the UK our address data is not maintained by the government and free. Instead, it’s owned and managed by private companies and public sector bodies, in a complex and costly tangle of intellectual property rights and contracts." -- openaddressfile.uk #OpenData

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

So: Fascism is bad The First Amendment is good Genocide is an actual fucking crime And also: It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

Some nicely targeted phishing, with a well written email. I imagine this really did catch a few alumni... Since this screenshot, Gmail has begun marking the email as spam.

Home automation is a wild ride! 🕸️ I love Home Assistant. At some point I'll start publishing tips and automations for beginners. Maybe first I'll clean the camera.

Never spend money on brand new paving stones for your cats! We got these on Freecycle and they love them just as much as new ones.
