Finally getting started on our PAX cosplay... Maybe a little late to start, when it's for all four of us, but that's how we roll.
Can you guess the game? Hint: were a squad

And yet, they have now confirmed they are sticking with him. Ridiculous, how are are supposed to believe the AFL actually wants to see any change in their toxic enchantment?!

Amid backlash over homophobic remarks, Snoop Dogg has apologised but could still be dropped as the AFL Grand Final headliner. Calls for cancellation grow, with rumours Eminem may replace him. The AFL has yet to confirm its stance.

It beggars belief that the AFL is persisting with the choice of Snoop Dog to provide the entertainment at the Grand Final. Misogynism and homophobia must not be condoned.

Saturday morning status: benchmarking a new function we created this week, which will currently be used in both .NET Framework 4.8.1 and .NET 8 and above.
The perf improvements in ".NET Core" is really mind-blowing 🤯
The sooner we finish our migration project the better!

Did you know Windows Terminal can do "split tabs"?
This is such a productivity boost if you do a lot in terminal
Alt+Shift+- and Alt+Shift++ to split
Alt+Shift+arrows will change the split width/height
Alt+arrows will move between your split
Ctrl+Sft+W to close
And mouse works to move too!

I was speaking with someone the other day at DDD By Night about typing speeds....
It had been a while, and I am always saying how much I hate my new flashy keyboard for typing. Well, it seems when I put my mind to it and concentrate, I can actually do alright still!
(QWERTY keyboard, not DVORAK)

My fav loyalty card app Stocard recently got bought out by Klarna. An awful, lesser mobile app was forced upon us, and I was altogether unhappy.
I then just found out yesterday Klarna is a BNPL business. Yuk.
I've now migrated everything to Supercards and requested my data be deleted by Klarna

Finally got business approval for purchasing a @microsoft M365 Copilot licence 👌🏻 So why am i not playing with it yet? Because it seems it's taking forever to propagate the licence to my devices!
How long have others found it takes, especially for the first licence in the organisation?
