So I saw that, and I know it's been around for a bit - when do folks choose to use that vs WinGet?

Thanks Advaith. Can we have IPv6 now too?

Developer Relations Engineer San Francisco, CA

Okay folks, it's time: I'm hiring!

Looking for 5(!) developer relations engineers across the world! Our company is remote-first but this role involves in-person appearances at events so although you don't need to work in a specific office we are focusing our search in specific metro areas:

Got a free "broken" tabletop arcade cabinet. Took some doing, but Mr 16 and I got it working again! Now onto retropie. If anyone has tips on gpio and old arcade controls I'm all ears.

This one has native support for scanning JSON-LD, for those SEO enjoyers out there.

To be entirely honest - I don't own my own MacBook, and right now my only machine is my gaming PC that runs windows 😂

It's interesting that Gemini CLI defaults to use the WebFetch tool for URLs instead of the GitHub MCP. That's the kind of thing I sort of expect the agent to figure out for me?

This looks cool, I'll check it out!

Hasn't been a problem yet :p

I am specifically trying to _not_ use WSL so I can re-immerse in powershell a bit :)

I haven't used Windows for development in a minute (ok, decade). So far I'm surprised that most of the tools I want to use are available! Outside of the new terminal app, winget and oh-my-posh, are there other Windows-specific tools I should be looking into?

I'm pretty surprised at the limited number of options in github.com/mcp. As far as I can tell, there's no real open public registry that's official?

npm trusted publishing with OIDC is generally available - GitHub Changelog As of today, npm trusted publishing with OpenID Connect (OIDC) is now generally available. This feature enables you to securely publish npm packages directly from CI/CD workflows using OpenID Connect…

Now that npm supports OIDC, I was able to delete all of my npm tokens. github.blog/changelog/20...

Linkinator, now with proper build provenance on npm! Turns out github.com/googleapis/r... matches really well for this workflow with OIDC, where semantic-release kind of fell down.

Seattle friends, go check out these super cool ceramics made by a super cool person!

Huge "I don't think my editors check anyhow, so who gives a shit" energy

Hey, I've discovered a lot of music I like this way! I can't hear frenzal rhomb without thinking of those late 90s fat wreck chords compilations and getting nostalgic.

Mistakes were made. MacBook pro for scale.

This is really spectacular. The OIDC workflows for actions and GCP were game changing for us, and I have no doubt this will protect a lot of folks.
