Thought about adding Aspire to an existing solution. Well, turns out it doesn't like custom installation paths...
Maybe DOTNET_ROOT should be read?
@davidfowl.com - any suggestions?

Hello @jetbrains Rider, nice that you ship latest version for NET 10. I'm really excited about it.
It's less fun that now a number of Plugins aren't working anymore. Like JSON Sorter.
And again, the whole UI configuration and placement of tools has been thrown out. Sync is on.

Was watching the Valve teaser for the new Steam hardware. Loving it!
Finally, we are getting
GameCube 2 / Ouya 2 and
Stadia 2.0
And yes, "Steam Cube" would have been a better name.

The actual use of File Search tool after artifacts have been ingested into a File Search Store.
Last week, the File Search Tool in Gemini API has been introduced. Today, release v2.9.0 has been published!

Due to contractual work creating an offline system using Ollama, Gemma3, EmbeddingGemma and ShieldGemma I couldn't spent much time on the SDK.

Well, well... even Gemini 2.5 Pro agrees with me 🙂
So, what's the constraint or thought process @ Google DeepMind to dismiss `application/rtf` and use `text/rtf` only?
Really curious. That issue affects both Files API and File Search Stores API of Gemini.

Hmm, really interesting.
Last week, I started to implement an off-line, read: not cloud-based, RAG system for a customer. Initially I went for split services for ingestion and retrieval, now I might add client-side upload and store management. 🤔😏

Well, well, the past days were fun. Wrote an Ollama-based RAG system in C# using MEAI, #Gemma3 and Nomic which runs completely offline. Provide your documents (PDF, docx, xlsx, text, md, etc) and then ask about their contents.
Thanks to @gregorbiswanger.bsky.social for the facade.
