    Core functionality needed to create .NET Core projects, that is shared between Visual Studio and CLI (by dotnet)

    This sucks so much. I’ve been happily using dotnet watch hot reload in the .NWT 6 previews, and now they’re removing it (to juice VS usage?). Please upvote: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/22247

  • vscodium

    binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pylance-release

    Documentation and issues for Pylance

    I know some extensions like Pylance are locked to the proprietary version, but I don't see how that's a bait-and-switch if it was developed for use only in the Microsoft distribution.

  • WSL

    Issues found on WSL

    But, as I understand it, hyper-v gets a lock on the Intel VT-x virtualization instruction set/technology, which locks out other virtualization technologies from using it at the same time. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5030

  • azure-cli

    Azure Command-Line Interface

    Isn't Azure CLI written in Python?

  • splat

    Makes things cross-platform

    Head of .NET Foundation creates and merges a PR for a change they made to a project where they hadn't been active for several years. When confronted by current maintainers, their response was at the very least, hostile and poorly thought out.

  • core

    .NET news, announcements, release notes, and more! (by dotnet)

    I'm glad you noticed that. Yes, Microsoft blocking Rider (and other tools) from using VSDBG through licensing has already come to pass. It was glossed over at the time: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/505

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
