Doubling down on a usability fail

Today I learned that the internet slang "simp" probably comes from the word "simper"

I was watching The Spanish Princess and Henry VIII says, "If we centralized the military, my father wouldn't have to beg and simper to you all like a serving maid."

@LilahTovMoon @scottgal Most of the usage I've seen isn't necessarily meant to be demeaning, but there definitely feels like there's a bit of pity in it.

Heh, Shayne Boyer sporting a Zune shirt. And of course it's brown. 😂

@cinnamon Crashed twice in quick succession. 😦 Look promising though!

It's weird seeing in-person Kevin Scott after spending so much time listening to his podcast. Also he speaks slower than my 120% playback speed. 😂 (also a complete lack of @film_girl feels wrong)

If you're coming to Microsoft Build in Seattle this week, I'll be there. I can be bribed primarily with brown liquor, but good food is a close second. You know, if there's some key feature you want in @xunit or whatever. 😉

Oh, and I'll have stickers with me.

Been running through the backlog of issues on https://github.com/xunit/visualstudio.xunit/issues. Apologies to those who have opened issues and never gotten answers; it appears to have a few years of stuff hanging around. A LOT are being marked as "please provide a repro project", which I'm sure is not an exciting response to an issue that a year or three old, but I'm at least trying to peek at everything and see what might still be valid.

Anybody else noticing that wslServer keeps running in the background even long after you've shut down VS Code? This feels recent-ish to me, though I don't use WSL nearly as much as I used to.

These processes being active is stopping the WSL distro from shutting down. I have to re-open a shell to it, kill the wslServer process, and then WSL will properly shut down.

@alexleduc No, in this case just running kill 17101 (the process ID of the root process) is enough to make the whole tree of "stuck" things go away.

I don't have a one liner that always works. I just have to run ps aux, find the PID, then run the kill.

Actively pushing against others to adopt your protocol is how you ensure that your protocol won't "win." I'm a firm believer that a decentralized protocol will be the future of social networks/feeds as we know them. I don't know if it is going to be or or something else. But I believe a decentralized protocol will be the future. But the winner will be the one that centralized-acting services adopt. That's a good thing for everyone. It means users have data portability. 🧵

@chucker @Pwnallthethings @Migueldeicaza @larryosterman @film_girl Not just for the Mac. Project K (which eventually became .NET Core) started with bits from Silverlight on Windows. In fact the netcore TFM meant "Silverlight" (specifically for Win8/WP8), which is why .NET Core ended up using netcoreapp.

Second time listening to the new Sleep Token album and I'd say it exceeds the already high expectations I had for it. Thinking it's likely to end up in the top albums of the year for me. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nfeZcBZ_whZMPXn8oF7unN3763k_SxzSo

I really think it was a stroke of genius for Windows to support Android apps natively.

I do think they haven’t done enough to advance that ecosystem though.

Got to follow through folks!

bradwilson,
@bradwilson@mastodon.social avatar

@Migueldeicaza @anizocani The problems feel more political than technical. The app store story is a big problem, which if fixed could drive more usability, which would then allow them to focus more on core performance. WSL 2 shows us that it can be done, but they need the political will (and a better app store) to make it happen. I just don't see Google wanting to play ball, though.

Have you tried the @xunit 2.5.0 prerelease yet? Had any issues? Any thoughts on the new assertion messages?

As I finish up my 50th year alive, inspired by one of the YouTube channels I watch, I'm picking my favorite movie for every year I've been alive. Some of these were insanely hard to choose, and some required almost no thought at all. Durability and re-watchability were high on my list of important traits.

Let's go! What are some of your favorites?

Edit: This list originally stopped at 2022, but I'm going to keep extending it every year.
