@Abt_Benjamin This is nuts. We went with ACS for our M365 integrated SaaS because we wanted to avoid other data processors than Microsoft. This adds regulatory and privacy headaches to all future sales.

When Hitler rose to power as German chancellor in 1933, he enacted policies to rid the country of Lebensunwertes Leben, or “lives unworthy of living.” His targets included Jews, Roma people, disabled people and communists—but also specifically homosexuals and transsexuals.

While many are familiar with haunting images of the first book burnings in Germany, which took place in May of 1933, most aren’t fully aware of their origin story.

The books and texts that provided the fuel for that first bonfire came from the library of the Institute for Sexual Research, founded in 1919 by Magnus Hirschfeld, a gay, Jewish doctor. As Scientific American notes, the Institute was “full of life everywhere” and provided incredible and groundbreaking gender affirmation care to trans individuals. Its mission was to provide a center for “research, teaching, healing and refuge” that could “free the individual from physical ailments, psychological afflictions and social deprivation.”

In other words, the first book burning in Germany, which led to copycat bonfires around the country, was an attack on a trans care institution. There are echoes of this today: The far-right has specifically chosen to target trans care centers in America, including repeated bomb threats to Boston Children’s Hospital, for providing gender affirming medical care.

And y’all picked on WebForms. Shameless.

@jeffteper Have submitted multiple times during the preview that localization of apps and website tabs is broken. It still is. Is this on the team's radar?

@StfBauer @jfj1997 @sympmarc Glad to hear it! One of these days I will finally scrap UI Fabric + hacks in favor of @hTWOoUI ❤️

[Gabriel Smoljar @gabbsmo]

What are @hTWOoUI thoughts on Fluent 2? Is that where you are going as well? https://t.co/RNMfm53oNM

@waldekm It was handled like any other unexpected error and displayed a message to user. It did not kill the app as in the server was inaccessible.

[Gabriel Smoljar @gabbsmo]

@waldekm Sadly it was the users that noticed because AAD throttling also affects them while job was ruining. If I remeber correctly it was not a proper 429 but a 5xx error so it was not obvious until closer investigation in App Insights.

Windows Phone was ahead of its time.

@sympmarc Ouch. Edge really was a bait and switch.

TIL that F7 in Chrome toggles 'caret navigation', which means that you get a cursor in web page text. I've already used it a couple of times to navigate, highlight, and copy text from web pages.

Reaching for the mouse is just too much of an effort, dontcha know

@shanselman Shame Redis does not have VNet integration in the Standard plan. We are moving away from Redis to SQL based cache because it is a more cost effective way of reaching the network isolation required for M365 certification.

@SwearPointJS Something based on .NET, like Umbraco or Orchard, if I had to.
