The log entry tooltip now adjusts its size dynamically! It stays compact for short messages and expands to show multiple lines when the message is longer. 💬✨

Now that @umbraco.com supports Docker, would you be interested in a workshop for how to build with containers, the latest Tools including .Net Aspire and Open Telemetry?

Running alongside @umbraco.foundation, we're gauging interest here : www.umbracofoundation.co.uk/workshops/

Classic reinforcement of gender stereotypes from the BBC. The national team thrashes USA in the Women's Rugby World Cup, and the headline story is a male footballer daydreaming about being a wrestler. FFS 🤦

Hey folks, how's everyone doing today? Been a while since I've been more active on social media, but after losing my dad recently it's time to get back into things!

Starting with an upcoming @dotnetsouthwest.bsky.social meetup - coming soon!

If my son Liam can undergo heart surgery at just 18 months old, I can run 26.2 miles.

I’m fundraising not just for Liam, but for every child who has received, is receiving, or will need care at Lurie Children’s.

Went to twitter for the first time in about 2 months .....

... I didn't make it past the first page. Not a single piece of content, all Ads, and some pretty dodgy ones at that. Project BinFire is complete. Sad times

Just a reminder, because I was just reminded myself, that your .NET 8 Maui projects are end of life on the 14th of May.

If you haven't already, please make sure you upgrade!
