I'm all for using Windows Server 2025 for domain controllers. 👍However, there is one scenario with a known issue that should be avoided!

Does the latest release of Windows Terminal have an issue with nerd fonts? None of my installed nerd fonts will load all of a sudden.

Windows Terminal warning: Unable to find the following fonts: RobotoMono Nerd Font Mono. Please either install them or choose different fonts.

I started on Twitter around 15 years ago because of the DNN community. Much has changed over the years! 😃

Ok, what’s the inside joke here? 😃

Nice. Will have to check out your shelf!

TIL you can credit co-authors in your Git commit message, and they will be tagged and credited as a contributor. This is a great way to give credit to somebody who helped you think through the process or shared code with you through other channels. 🧑‍💻🫴

Creating a commit with multiple authors - GitHub Docs

You can attribute a commit to more than one author by adding one or more Co-authored-by trailers to the commit's message. Co-authored commits are visible on GitHub.

Love it!

You are correct, but there are some scenarios where using that label is still a helpful way to distinguish the two when talking to others who are less familiar with the naming changes. To be fair, pwsh does still identify as Core edition in PSVersionTable. 😀
