Does anyone know of a discord channel or similar where I can talk to people who know everything about 2D rasterization? I'm feeling like I'm learning stuff far too slowly.

My first trip to Europe and I changed my travel plan just to meet @MagickNET I had the best time in Netherlands 🇳🇱. I loved and enjoyed the beautiful nature of the country 🌳🐏🏞️. Thanks again for being my local tour guide!
I did something that I could not put on that list. I took @duongdieuphap who is the maintainer of ImageGlass on a day trip in the Netherlands. He is now visiting Europe so we had to meet. The @microsoft money paid for all the things we did that day. Thank you @OpenAtMicrosoft 🧙‍♂️

More efficient image compression = reduced data requirements = 🍃🌎 With 10 *trillion* photos now in digital storage, every bit counts. @jonsneyers writes in to @ABridgwater to offer a solution. #JPEGXL

Microsoft has quietly launched an end to end Code Signing solution and it's free until June while in Preview techcommunity.microsoft.com/… Do you have an open source app or project and strugging with code signing? Give this a try

FYI @ImageMagick to the rescue. Did exactly what I wanted. Easy to work with. And bonus, the built-in Thumbnail() method also generates an output image less than half the file size of MS packages. Thanks @MagickNET!
Anyone want a job? About to quit my entire career. 3 days on this shit. I don’t think I’ve ever been this frustrated. I have a Stream for a jpg. All I want to do is decode to object, resize, convert back to Stream. And also read that Stream to verify resize in a unit test.

As announced for the last few years, we are removing BinaryFormatter in .NET 9. Have you already stopped using it? If not, why? Is there any feedback that you want to share?

One of my many targets this year is to get Microsoft to purchase a @SixLabors license. I know they use the old Apache versions but it's time to upgrade!
