Also, Discord Support is horrible. Many people (myself included) have lost their accounts due to 2FA and Discord won’t do anything. They just tell you to create a new account. There’s forums with hundreds of posts about the problem. 2FA is typically good, but not with Discord Support

I had actually never looked into the Steam Deck before and assumed it was just a handheld. You’re right tho, you can get the dock and play on a TV with multiple controllers, similar to the Switch. Now you have me considering a Steam Deck 😅

I play a lot more co-op games than single-player games, so I'm looking forward to the big-screen multiplayer experience. For single-player, I think the Steam Deck makes a lot of sense.

I get that I could install Windows on it and it would support them, but I want the console-native experience that SteamOS will provide.

I also get it’s probably against Steam’s best interests, as they likely make most of their money off the Steam store.

Still, it would be amazing

I ended up feeding the runtime error into Copilot. It found and fixed the issue within a couple minutes. Just needed to remove an empty ClientCertificates line from the appsettings.json auth section.

Since Copilot fixed the problem, I guess I'll call this one a draw 😛

They deprecated the .NET Upgrade Assistant extension/CLI in favour of the Modernize feature. Was cool that it generated a plan and progressed through it, but end result was lacking. Seems like it's not quite ready yet.

Yup, it already supports WhatIf, but doesn’t list all of the files that would be deleted; it just lists the repos that would be cleaned. I’ve started looking at implementing showing the files today already 🙂

I'll note that the primary use case for this module IS to delete files/directories that are in the .gitignore file. e.g. build artifacts, NuGet packages, node_modules, etc.

I'm going to see if I can make it a bit safer though 👍

Providing that option as a parameter sounds like a great feature request 🙂 Noted ✅

Or are you saying that you have files in your .gitignore that you actually don't want to be deleted? e.g. you don't want to commit your .vscode directory to git, but also don't want it to get deleted?
