As a reminder, Paint​.NET 5.0 can be purchased on the Microsoft Store. This helps support development, and it auto-updates, no prompts! With the release of 5.0 I've bumped the price to $10 but for the next two weeks it's on sale at the old price of $8 :) apps.microsoft.com/store/det…

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
Wide-angle photo from NASA’s InSight lander on Mars shows the area in front of the lander in the late afternoon sun. Two science instruments tethered to the lander rest on the sandy surface nearby. Part of the lander’s robotic arm is visible extending down from the top left. Distortion from the wide-angle lens bends the distant horizon into a curved shape, while low-angle sunlight causes a small bluish lens flare on the right side.

My lovely wife is helping me scan and destroy original documents from school, which are largely irrelevant now I'm reading as I go. It's hilarious in an #ADHD way Needs consistency Is behind Hasn't turned in x Needs to complete homework etc Somehow no diagnosis until late 30s

2. Also a consistent string of Polite Intelligent Helpful Cooperative Mature Friendly And marks which were generally rescued by a final assignment or single outstanding piece of work, which I without fail threw together at the last possible moment.
in the last two weeks I've come From: Worried about the impact twitter dying would have, if it died. To: Concerned about the impact of this new twitter, *not* dying.
Like many, I'm looking for a new home after twitter. Lots of talk about Mastodon, and I can see some appeal, but for me it didn't fit the bill. @TheHIVE_Social however is sounding promising.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Devs don't let devs code without source control. To help with that, @jessh164 published a new learning series she's created to help devs that don't use source control learn how they Git & GitHub can help even small teams and solo devs. devblogs.microsoft.com/visua…

Learning Series: Get started with GitHub in Visual Studio - Visual Studio Blog

#Parents of twitter, am I missing something? Primary age kids (13 or less) playing #Fortnight seems laughable to me So I'm continually surprised how often it's the game of choice for kids as young as 5 I didn't think myself a wowser, am I really in the minority here?

Ever had one of those days, where you're debugging and the flow COMPLETLY ignores reason? I have effectively broken it down now to: me: writeline(param) App: 1 me: writeline(compare value) App: 0. Me: Great, now does param == compare value App: true, 0. ???????

20’s: I hope I can be normal long enough for them to like me 30’s: They can like me or not, I don’t care 40’s: Maybe if I act REALLY weird they will leave and I can go to bed early

I've completed bending my mind around the low level updating of #BulkFileRename to encompass all the things it grew to do (as opposed to all the things got added to the scope after release) Now watch as I break everything again by ripping out and replace the primary Grid control
😂😂😂😂 well now we know what to include in our security training hahaha

I swear; every time I try to get creative in animations/transitions in #uwp I just end up wasting hours of my life and then deleting it all. every. damn. time. Something about me just doesn't 'get it'. Beyond page and connected animations there is something I'm missing.

We can do hard things. Evidence: we often do them in the hardest way possible. 🤣 #ADHD

Tiny design detail: nested border radii look really funky if they're the same. To maintain the same curvature, the outer radius = inner radius + padding.

Hi @SergioPedri and @kid_jenius I am looking to use a specific animation and JUST remembered where I have seen it before; the beautiful new @MicrosoftStore app! Could you point me to how you accomplished this gorgeous little thing in the top right? #windowsdev #uwp
