@scott.hanselman.com Hi, Mr. Hanselman. I'm not sure if you would know the answer to this, but is it possible to develop for @xbox.com on a Mac using @vscode.dev or would I have to use VMWare/Parallels and install Windows/Visual Studio?

It shall soon be Thanksgiving in the United States. I wanted to say something to those who are alone or estranged from family for one reason or other as mine are. You are a wonderful soul just as you are and you deliver love just by being yourself.

@aoc.bsky.social Hello from California, Congresswoman. you mention needing to retool the left, which I agree with, but what do you see as the venues and forums in which to do so? Many of us are spread out diffused in different ecosystems I fear may make this difficult.
