This is nuts. I'm trying to emulate an Android device (arm64) on a Microsoft Surface Laptop (also arm64), but they're not compatible because the Windows Host emulator is only x64!? Having to physically attach a device seems very archaic these days :(.

One for @blowdart.me

Light rain in #EX15 ! Annoying from a bike ride perspective, but bloody marvellous for the garden 🌧️

Ooh, that's not good. First time I've seen this on @github.com . I was only trying to create a PR. Anyone else having issues?

It's on days like these that I'm reminded how lucky we are to live in Devon. This is what it looks like to cycle through the Blackdowns ❤️

Just imagine what GOOD could be done with $1tn...

Google wins this week's prize for "most misrepresented Coursera course". It's a "free" course with "free" access to Gemini Pro for 3 month. Only once you're a couple of modules in is it made clear that it's free once you've paid for it!!! Poor show.

Wow! We have a new little visitor to the garden. Mum is sat a few branches up, keeping watch.

Time for bed, warm in the glow of having solved a problem that GitHub CLI couldn't. LLMs are clearly very good at digging deep, but they still lack the ability to just stand back, get a fresh perspective on software, and then come up with a creative solution. There may yet be hope for us!

Anyone know why Gemini 3.1 Pro is available in GitHub Copilot Agent, Visual Studio, and VS Code but not GitHub Copilot CLI? It's not even listed in the "[Blocked / Disabled]" tab.

The wife & I binged The Other Bennet Sister over the past few evenings. What an absolute gem! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Hmm, genuinely the first time I've seen @github.com go down!

@itvx.com rather than ruining the flow of the game by injecting adverts before scrums, maybe spend your time improving the quality of your feed. You lag behind #iPlayer, and #discovery is streets ahead of you. Not good enough. #sixNations

Today a friend described a standard road bike, as opposed to an e-bike, as an acoustic. Nice 😀.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It was "new bike day" last weekend. Managed to get it out in between Devon storms, and it was so awesome! Big thanks to @ribblecycles.bsky.social

Hmm... disappointing to see that @microsoft.com is still offering Grok via Azure Foundry 😞

For any (mainly) UK politicians who are clinging to X because "that's where the people are", you should at least be duplicate posting here on @bsky.app. Then measure where your audience is and actually encourage them to move away from X. You literally have an audience that listens to what you say!

Wow, a proper giant from the bike industry is retiring. I can't even imagine how many of his videos I've watched!

House.

Having to improvise coffee whilst visiting my mum!

Flying visit to Yorkshire to see some family before Xmas. Can you name the series?

I tend to stay away from politics on social media, but I'm very much looking forward to what the world does with trump once his presidential veil of protection ends. I'd at least like to think that he'll never see a UK golf course again.

Top 1% 😮 git-wrapped.com

@scott.hanselman.com Hey Scott, which widget or app were you using to transcribe your voice in the Aspire coding stream on Friday please?

It's that time of the year again! I listened to 609 different artists, but 4 out of my 5 top songs were by Lari Basilio. Apparently I'm a top 2% global fan 😁. #SpotifyWrapped

Spent most of today getting to grips with @playwright.dev and their 3 new Agents, and wow! I used to employ entire teams to do this! @debbie.codes any tips on how to prompt the "test planner" agent? Does it work to just say "plan tests for this page", or should I be more specific?

Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

Aww, just as I'm trying to push some awesome updates to my @github.com repo ☹️

Hmm Aspire 13 and .NET 9 combo seems to be running like a dog for me at the moment (locally). 50% of the time it times out and fails to load the dashboard. Anybody else seeing this with that combo? It is, of course, possible that I've just broken something 😉 @aspire.dev

Celebrating Gerty Cori on #WorldDiabetesDay. Cori, a biochemist, co-discovered the Cori cycle which unlocked how the body regulates glucose--foundational for diabetes treatments & insulin therapy. She was awarded the 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery. #WomenInSTEM

Is it just me, or does GitHub Copilot Agent not have access to .NET 10 SDK yet? It keeps downgrading my net10.0 projects to net9.0 because it can't find the SDK. #dotnetconf

So does this mean I could do Blazor WASM, wrapped in MAUI Hybrid, wrapped in WASM!? #dotnetconf

I'm sure he's gonna get into trouble, but @scott.hanselman.com's line about languages ("including god's favourite, C#"), was funny 😅. #dotnetconf

So few followers, it seems developers did not realize Aspire is on Bluesky. Developers make this number up. I'm sure we can reach 1000 followers by the end of the week. Share for more reach! @aspire.dev #dotnet #aspire #developer

I just released my first VS Extension! After seeing how excited @maddymontaquila.net got in an @aspire.dev YouTube live coding session about a VS Code NuGet visualisation, I decided to build a simple VS version. marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

It's "new phone" day today, and I must say I'm excited!

Thrilled to announce that @dabalox.com is part of the latest @bgventures.bsky.social cohort! #TechForGood #startups www.linkedin.com/posts/goodco...

Wow, what a different world that was! So many aspects of this will be baffling to kids today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMrB...

I got to indulge my love of road cycling over the past couple of days. On Sunday I got to ride a bit with the amazing Jens Voigt. Then on Monday I cycled 95km to the Devon coast (including 1600m+ of climbing)!

Glorious day visiting the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition in Bruton today!

Hmm... AI generated image? You decide 😉

My wife's bought a robot hoover, and now it looks like we have poltergeists!
