Ukraine did not choose this war—it was forced upon them by Russia's invasion. No country should be expected to bargain away its land and people in the name of so-called peace. Ukraine has every right to defend its sovereignty. #StandWithUkraine

If you're trying to raise money to oppose T*mp and M*sk and all the garbage they're doing, DON'T do it by sending me text messages with their faces front-and-center.

I'm trying to avoid seeing and hearing from them, and I'm not giving you money if you make me look at them.

It's disappointing to see Azure Data Studio disappear, but this does explain the dearth of updates over the past few months.

I find the VS Code extension experience more awkward, so maybe this pushes me to DataGrip from @jetbrains

Discovered that `cargo clean` can fix problems with `cargo check` in Rust.

I had the equivalent of this:

let s1 = String::from("String one");
let s2 = s1;
println!("{s1}");

The Rust Analyzer in VS Code didn't catch the error and neither did cargo check, but cargo build did.

After running `cargo clean`, `cargo check` then caught the same error as the full build.

error[E0382]: borrow of moved value: `s1`

Later this month, I will attend Cohort 10 of Action-Powered Productivity. The course is tool-agnostic. The attendees and alumni use #PKM tools like #Tana, #Obsidian, and #Logseq, and no one has only a single tool in their toolbox (so you'll see #DEVONthink, #Todoist, #Drafts, and many others). I have attended cohorts in the past, including the very first one, back when everyone was using #Roam, and I always get a lot out of it.

It would be great to see you there!

Wow. That's it for #VisualStudio for #Mac. Support ends entirely 12 months from today, and they're not adding any more features, which means .NET 8 won't be fully supported.

#JetBrains Rider has always been superior to VS for Mac for most workloads, but I don't know how well it handles #MAUI and #Xamarin now for people working on .NET mobile apps.

As #Windows (and Edge and Bing) become less valuable to #Microsoft and the emphasis shifts to the money powerhouses of Azure, Office, and AI, the people left running these out-of-favor products are making increasingly bad decisions.
