I just tried the new Modernize with #githubcopilot feature in #visualstudio2026 to upgrade a real life solution from #dotnet 8 to 10. I even subscribed to GitHub Coplitot Pro for this.

It was an utter disaster. It worked forever on this, kept failing on […]

@entomology
I wrote a little text about the pine processionary that I want to use in an art project. I am not an entomologist, just a Jean-Henri Fabre fan.
Dear #entomology community in the fediverse, could you proofread and fact check this for me?

Full text […]

The larvae of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) neatly march in single file, nose to tail from their tent-like communal nest high in the pine trees to the feeding site and then down to the ground to pupate. Processions up to eight meters long have been observed, sometimes even in multiple files side by side. These foraging caterpillar squads are well-defended against predators, with their venomous hairs full of microscopic barbs. Monocultures and rising temperatures caused by climate change have enabled the pine processionary to defoliate vast swaths of forest. In January 1896, the famous entomologist and poet Jean-Henri Fabre conducted an experiment in which he arranged the processionaries on a circular path. A closed circuit with no leader—each caterpillar preceded by another on whose heels it followed. For many days and many nights, the caterpillars held to their tireless, infinite march.

Can someone explain why collection expressions inside `foreach` do not work in #csharp and #donet 9 ? Why shouldn't this be possible? Why do I need to cast to `IEnumerable` ?

@1password I have the problem on macOS Safari, that the "Hide My Email ..." popup obstructs the password selection popup of #1password.
Is there a way to solve this problem without completely turning of "Hide My Email ..." in Safari?
