@Dave_DotNet I’m wondering if this is influenced by AI responses. I’m consistently told that .NET 10 is in preview. Even the C# Dev Kit on VS Code tells me to install .NET 8 because it is the LTS.

Moving your projects to .NET 9 or stay on .NET 8? I couldn't resist 🤣 #dotnet

In C# 12, you can alias any type. youtube.com/watch?si=Wl5zo…

I agree but I’m also concerned. What do we do about AIs giving horrible medical advice? They’ve done studies on how often Google’s AI response is the opposite of true. People will die from that bad advice. I know we are all responsible for our own actions, but our primary information source lies to us convincingly. I think there are limits that need to be placed on AI. I’m just not sure how to do that. At the least, I think certain results should require source links. But I’m not sure how we enforce that.

Stupid, selfish, and counterproductive. This reminds me of the dock workers that selfishly banned automation. Banning innovation is fruitless. Global innovation is unstoppable. You can only slow it down temporarily.

Finally decided to start a YouTube channel! Would greatly appreciate if you went and checked it out 🫶 First video: how to fully customize Windows Terminal with Oh My Posh (and more!) Also let me know if you want to see any specific videos from me! 💖 youtu.be/VFnr0lwwGuQ?si…

@theleafdrinker Again, I’m not saying you have to love 1P. My focus is on the narrative that $4/month is too expensive for software you depend on daily. Pick the password manager that works best for you, but paying $50/year shouldn’t be seen as expensive.

I don’t get this. For about $4/month you get all of your passwords secured, you get auto-sign in on all your devices (not just Mac), and a lot more. We have to do better about paying for what we value.

Sorry for the self-promo but I just started a series on moving to Mint from Windows. I don’t cover dual-boot but that’s mostly just installing to a different drive. I cover testing it first on USB, then installing and configuring, then we will get into software development on it. Maybe some of it will be helpful to you: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@WindowsCentral I have Win10, looking at Linux Mint but...how hard is a dual boot system to set up??

Outlook + Copilot + Edge = ? Microsoft Copilot and Outlook teamed up to create what might be the worst Edge feature yet — a chaotic mashup nobody asked for and everyone immediately dunked on. The good news: there’s still time for Microsoft to pull the plug. (1/2)

@bdkjones My issue isn’t with which app is best. My issue is with the idea that $50/year for a tool you use daily is “expensive” or “pricy”. That doesn’t set us up for a healthy app ecosystem when the equivalent of one cup of coffee per month is too much.

@IAmTimCorey We just value different things. I see 1Password as a bloated, non-native app. If you find it indispensable, that’s wonderful for AgileBits. But I bet there’s a whole lot of people locked into their pricy app who would be just as well served by Apple’s built-in option.
