Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Aspire 13 new dashboard features, day 6: Introducing the Aspire MCP server. Integrate Aspire into your dev AI eco-system. 🚀 Observe resources (health status, endpoints, etc) 🪄 Debug with real-time console logs 📊 Investigate dev-time telemetry ⚙️ Execute resource commands

I am familiar with northeast Indiana. It's not exactly in need of a great deal of defense, much less an entire summit. I mean, are they afraid of an invasion from Toledo or Grand Rapids?

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Of 1,607 Canadians surveyed in October, 70% said they would be uncomfortable travelling to the U.S. this winter. Top 3 reasons to avoid the country were *a resolve to stand up for Canada *America’s current political climate *concerns about heightened border security www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

“One of the Italian snipers identified to SISMI in 1993 was from Milan, and the owner of a private clinic specialising in cosmetic surgery,” he said. “We are talking about wealthy people, entrepreneurs with a reputation, who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to be able to kill helpless civilians.”

I have a problem and I use regex to solve it. Now I have 27 problems.

You might want to upgrade to #dotnet 10 if you're still on an earlier version...

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

The EPA has proposed easing some reporting rules for “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS man-made compounds found in many products that don’t break down in the environment. The plan would exempt certain cases, like very small amounts of PFAS (under 0.1%), chemicals made only as byproducts, and

Fuck that. They are literally starving g children right now.

With .NET 10 you can now easily distribute your own CLI tools and run them without installing using `dnx`. I built my own simple ardalis CLI tool as a demonstration of what you can do. ardalis.com/the-ardalis-... #dotnet

you’re saying Mike Johnson had his fingers crossed behind his back when he like totally made you a promise???? color me shocked

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

This is what a leader does.

Hey #dotnetconf, why does the Aspire CLI not default to the solution in the current folder for its commands? For example, if I'm in a solution folder for Project2 and I run "aspire update", for some reason it is checking a project in an entirely different folder and it does not check current folder

Aspire time at #dotnetconf. This is what I've been waiting for.

Buckle up because we’re already deep in recession and they’re hiding the numbers but they’re bad.

While I'm glad perf is a lot better in #dotnet10, I gotta admit I don't really care about the inner workings and how it gets the job done. I just want my code to be fast and work. Does that make me weird as a developer? #dotnetconf

Yeah, but at least it's an environmental catastrophe with absolutely no regulation, so a handful of dirtbags can have even more money they'll never be able to spend.

Hey, friends! We know .NET 10 dropped today. But we also know not everyone is jumping into it yet. If you run dotnet commands in your CI/CD pipelines, make sure to use the --version flag and lock into your desired version. #dotnet #pipelines

Aspire 13 is here - it's such a big deal that we had to skip a few versions 😉 Read the blog - devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/aspir... Or, dive deep into the What's New - aspire.dev/whats-new/as... Happy Aspirifying!!

Ok, back to #dotnetconf, and it's not AI!! Yeah! lol... Hundreds of PRs of perf improvement in #dotnet10?? Cool

Guess I'll skip the rest of the #dotnetconf keynotes if all they're gonna talk is AI and Copilot. Past time for lunch anyway.

*sigh* and now they're back on AI and Copilot.... #dotnetconf

This was something I immediately noticed. @visualstudio.com 2026 and @vscode.dev now have similar load times! @ardalis.com with the perfect quote that mirrors my experience. Opening over 100 projects and it's just THERE. DONE. #dotNETConf

#VisualStudio2026 solution load times cut almost in half. Now THAT'S the kind of thing that I want them to work on. I could care less about AI and co-pilot. Give us better VS!!! #dotnetconf

Today we ship Aspire 13! Why 13? It’s a number that’s bigger than 10 but less than 14. It marks the start of a new chapter for the project. We’re expanding beyond .NET, bringing the same, code-centric experience to Python, JavaScript, and more. aspire.dev/whats-new/as... #aspire @aspire.dev

I will say I am stoked for the purple theme in #visualstudio2026. #dotnetconf

Really kind of tired of hearing how great AI is. It isn't that great. #dotnetconf

Only partially listening to #dotnetconf, but what I hear so far sounds pretty cool. #dotnet10 #visualstudio2026

Working in a simple static Hugo site in a GitHub repository. Asked copilot to add a simple feature that would update one file in the template. It decides to bring in Hugo’s Apache license, change which version of Hugo I’m running (downgrading it), break how slugs are generated, …

Can you please explain to my wife that just because I was watching video reviews of the new #Lego #StarTrek Enterprise-D set, and just because I have the Lego Store page open to see when I can pre-order so I can set a reminder, and my credit card in hand, does NOT mean I intend to buy it.

BlueSky all the way

From 1875 to 1975, 6000 ships were lost on the Great Lakes. Since November 10, 1975, zero ships have been lost. Much of this is owed to technological advances, not just in shipbuilding and navigation, but also, crucially, in weather forecasting.

Aspire 13 new dashboard features, day 5: The interaction service just got a major upgrade ⚡ 💫 Dropdowns can now accept text — in other words, ComboBox inputs. 🔄 Supports dynamic data loading for cascading dropdowns. See it in action in the Azure provisioning dialog 🚀

Y'all know what today is ! ##dotnetconf

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow veterans. 🫡 If you want/need some free/reduced cost things this year, you may find this helpful: usveteransmagazine.com/usvm/veteran... #veterans #veteransday

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start. “Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.” Nope. We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours. You work for us.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be

So few followers, it seems developers did not realize Aspire is on Bluesky. Developers make this number up. I'm sure we can reach 1000 followers by the end of the week. Share for more reach! @aspire.dev #dotnet #aspire #developer

I'm just gonna say it. I don't care about people's opinions... I like candy corn.

Especially if built by Boeing

First: I am really proud of this blog post title. It’s for the girlies (IYKYK). Second: .NET 10 drops tomorrow, so I did a whirlwind tour of the big and small features I worked on this cycle. Third: go read it! #dotnet #aspnetcore 📰 :https://blog.safia.rocks/2025/11/10/aspnetcore-ten/
