New England, the land for Ukraine.
Some blue-yellow signs I ran across during my bike ride yesterday.
Слава Україні!✊

@aadrobushevskiy @PaddleHQ @FTC Read the complaints, and you will find many stories.
Unfortunately, we have missed their last round of fundraising.
We should warn their investors next time if they try to raise funds again.
I have given up on getting our funds back.

A posted question has been deleted.
The Microsoft Q&A website, which I believe is cloud-based, has had unbelievably poor performance for a while. Typing is often unbearably slow. The editor often automatically adds characters erroneously.

Microsoft Q&A has been paralyzed for a day or so. You cannot add any comments.
Tried both Edge and Chrome.

It is amazing that @Microsoft's Partner Center's analytics had a data blackout for 10 days (Oct 16 to Oct 28)

@localguides It is strange that https://t.co/9u5rTupDjJ says "You've been banned from Local Guides" but I can still contribute reviews and photos. Only 3 reviews were initially published, then rejected later mysteriously and I did not know the rejection until many days later.

@SuperJMN Have never used it. I do not know any advantage it has over Uno, so I do not see any reason to switch to MAUI from Uno.

@GraniteStHacker @durreadan01 If Microsoft had outsourced the app store to a competent firm, probably at least over a billion people would be enjoying the lovely WP now.
WP had the most friendly UX and by far the best tool for app development then.

@GraniteStHacker @flymanchester I wish @flymanchester had more flights. I prefer it to Logan anytime for my own flights and picking up others. Thank you for the reminder. I will try to check it for every future flight. I usually don't mind one more layover.

@wieslawsoltes @SuperJMN I did not notice any of this probably because I usually use it for a very narrow range of purposes (e.g., the possible causes of a mysterious app crash which stack trace offers little hint). The only slight shift I have is to GitHub issues.

@SuperJMN @wieslawsoltes Because of generative AI?
My use of it remains the same. I use Bard occasionally and found it is no replacement of SO.

@GraniteStHacker Threads' lack of a web version is baffling.

Trying to report a @VisualStudio sign-in problem through Visual Studio's only report channel that requires sign-in in Visual Studio.

@GraniteStHacker @jlaban @mzikmunddev @UnoPlatform @MVPAward Good. When will we meet again at the next #Unoconf?

[Hong @hong_ipcentcom]

@GraniteStHacker Hope some of you have told Microsoft it is time to kill the .Net Native nightmare. We have suffered from it for too long.

The reported downloads of EVERY @MicrosoftStore app have been down by more than 50% since April 19. I assume it is a reporting issue of @Microsoft Partner Center.

@GraniteStHacker @JenMsft @Worrelpa 2 or 3 on average. The value of the function is very high. That means more than the frequency.

@mzikmunddev @UnoPlatform @BASTAcon @morning4coffe 👍

@GraniteStHacker @MarkGil08917095 @realDotNetDave Unlike most other services and products, SM shape/engineer human minds to a certain degree instead of being engineered by producers and shaped by customer demands. TikTok is the ultimate example. It can literally drive a healthy person to death.
