It used to be worse. 9.0 would have gone out of support six months before 8.0, so we extended it, because folks (myself included) were using v9 of system.text.json in .net 8.0 projects, and we couldn't decide what the support story there would be, easier to extend 9.0 by six months

Because 8 has been in support for 2 years, LTS is 3 years.

9 is STS, so it's a single year.

Unions are coming in 11. They were never promised for 10. 🤷‍♂️

I got asked if I wanted to demo pq support

Not the most demo-friendly feature. Take a string, run it through an algorithm, show the byte array, run it back, show the original string.

Not exactly exciting.

I like to make people internally sad by asking what would happen if an SSRF vuln caused connections to their long out of support "internal" applications

Every now and again I check github projects for EOL versions of .NET and it makes me sad.

Well I suppose it makes up for the madness of two line prompts

That’s not supported either until the official “it’s available” later today 😛

It’s ok, they’ll turn out to be a monster soon enough

Depends how far away the hub is, and if it still has power. It usually does better than cable, because the hubs are further away.

Weird place to have feathers
