@developer.microsoft.com a few years ago, and up until last year, you offered free development VMs to test in a sandbox. I can't seem to find those anymore, what happened to those? Used to be a great way to test cross-platform code on my Linux dev machine, any replacement offerings?

Finally got around to changing my handle (and display name for vanity purposes). I Finally have a proper looking setup going. And wouldn't you know it, this combination happens to be my email address as well!

So I completely forget about this platform because most of my communities happen to live on Discord, but I thought I should start doing more here.

Anyways, I have a blog with the most recent post being about finally doing a proper job on [Large Page support in WinMMF](skaye.blog/winmmf/mmf-a...)

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

I'm excited about the Steam Cube!
I don't currently have a next gen console in my living room, and it would be cool to have my PC library there.
Also good to put pressure on Microsoft who have mismanaged Windows into shit.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

This is how collectibles are born
I saw this poster on eBay. It was way too expensive. Then I realized which shuttle it was.

I did some digging and IBM HQ immediately recalled and destroyed them. Guess they missed one.

Whatever, it was my birthday a few days ago. $350 later and this is on the way to my apartment.

Hot take: I should doomscroll and post more than I currently do. I'm barely ever on any socials and whenever I do I see so much good stuff
