.NET STS releases supported for 24 months - .NET Blog .NET STS releases will be supported for 24 months

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support!

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

🧠 Using SQL Server 2025 Vector Search in .NET Aspire – eShopLite Style!

The skywatch account lists

The maga list

The block accounts button

Bluesky is not twitter because we block losers before we even see their sad attention seeking. Think of it as vaccinating your account. Here’s an example:

1. Go to @skywatch.blue
2. Tap Lists and scroll down to MAGA
3. Tap subscribe & then block accounts.
4. All the magas now rot on the vine

I'm thinking either fomeé or fomeaba.

For me, this would be a lot more compelling with a small display. I looked at the Halliday and Even Realities glasses, but they weren't (reliably) covered by vision care. I spent a while evaluating and figured things will change a lot in a year (which is now already half-way completed, so yeah).

I got some Meta Ray-Ban glasses this year, covered under my annual vision care allowance, which surprised me. They're okay for taking pictures without the distraction of a phone, and the AI "How healthy is the meal I'm looking at" or "Translate this street sign" stuff, but not life changing.

Charlie Wilson's War is one of the few movies I wish had been made during the modern miniseries era.

Ahmad on stage showing a slide titled ”Building a layout” where the feature gap between Figma and modern CSS is visualized in two differently sized circles which contain keywords of different technological features. Text between both circle: “The gap is getting bigger year by year.”

So, so true. The gap between design tools and the possibilities of the CSS based web platform is
getting bigger year by year. @ishadeed.com at #cssday. (Reminds me of @matthiasott.com‘s talk last year cssday.nl/2024/#matthias)

I just recently learned that winget export will include any installed programs, don't have to be installed via winget. You might want to delete some, but it worked pretty well using my dev laptop as source and a new devbox as destination.

Also great to use winget export / winget import to copy from an old machine to a new one. Used that last week setting up a devbox.
