Tagging a couple of other interested folks to pass the message along - @scott.hanselman.com @clintrutkas.bsky.social

@RickStrahl - probably old news for you but thought I'd share just in case - SQL Server 2025 CTP removes the installer block on Arm. Download the x64 and choose the basic install, it will install the x64 version without frills. This runs fine under emulation.

My favorite was when a customer came by our booth with a query about something and I was able to tell them yes, what they needed was available, and here’s a blog post on that very subject.

My kids had a favorite moment too - when I bought the bag of swag home and they got to pick.

Pictures from #MSBuild. The first one is with Arm Ambassadors @sinclairinat0r.com and Richard Omenyo, the second is with Jon Berry on CoreOS and Chris Lewis on App Assure and @sinclairinat0r.com.

#MSBuild was a blast, talking to developers about #Windows on #Arm and hearing their stories first hand never gets old. Also enjoyed co-presenting the session on Tips and Tricks to enhance Windows Arm64 performance.

Do tell us your colleagues’ and your solid plan to make that happen?

Very true, the year or longer gaps make it hard to even remember why I liked the show in the first place and the vibe is gone.

Yeah I dumped the other site.

😀

As much as I dislike Trump for the person he is and his politics, body shaming him is not okay. That’s what they do, we’re not them.

“Alternative facts” are a thing now. I do wonder what the cult members will do when their dear leader is not their leader in 4 years, none of the others come remotely close to having this kind of grip on half the country.

I’ve severely curtailed my scrolling social media since November, too much distraction. I see a lot of calls to “resist” that mean nothing to me, not concrete enough. Writing to our representatives asking they oppose the ridiculous nominees is also pointless IMO given we’re in WA.

While I was out on vacation last month I missed the Arm Developer Program celebrating its second birthday. I'm incredibly proud to be associated with the program as an Arm ambassador helping bring developers into the Arm ecosystem.

System76's Thelio Astra is a quiet monster—it's by far the world's fastest Arm PC, and it starts at half the price of the Mac Pro.

Check out my video on the beastly machine here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshD...

I should have been laughing but this is so accurate it’s no longer a laughing matter.

This benefits the large providers doubly - first they don’t need to meet their he neutrality standard and they can charge content providers extra to not throttle them into oblivion. Unfortunately deregulation is the SOP on the republican side so it will only go downhill over the next 4 years.

So I get a notification (DM actually that I was added to someone’s block list because I’m following a potential troll). How do I tell who that troll is? Or is this a scam and the list creator are themselves a troll?

Elon Musk Wants to Pay for His Tax Cuts With Your Social Security and Medicare The point of Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE is to cut entitlement programs so Donald Trump can cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy and corporations.

I wonder why the left is not capable of simple, clear messages that land with the working and middle class. Even this reductive piece has a title the left could learn from.

I was also bummed out to learn Perks+ dropped kids tuition as a reimbursable expense last week after I signed up and open enrollment closed. I logged a complaint about the bait and switch but nothing so far.

Someone needs to explain to me very slowly why amongst everything that needs work this was the thing to spend legislative time on?

I’m all for growth mindset, but this may be a step too far?

I’ve never seen anything this extreme on an office wall but cannot say it was outside the realm of what folks thought was okay back then. Glad we’re past that time.

An interesting read by Marc Elias. I’ve been following Marc since the 2020 elections when is law firm fought and won over 50 lawsuits by Trump and allies alleging voting irregularities.

Fair enough 😃, comes down to what is the essence of a holiday movie for each.

Yippee, Kay-Yay!

Who else agree Die Hard is a holiday movie? They don’t always have to be set in your stereotypical small town coffee/book shop with soft focus.
