As a Swede (yes, 99% of my furniture is IKEA) and a Skyrim player this is probably the best and most important news ever 😂 www.ikea.com/ie/en/cat/ka...
A Skyrim screenshot overlooking an open landscape. Mountains are showing far away, and a dragon is flying in the sky. In the foreground stands an IKEA Kallax shelf system wearing a dragonborn helmet.

A tweet from user @pookleblinky.
Every heartwarming human interest story in America is like "he raised 200.000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used.

Let's solve this once and for all. One picture showing a football player. Arrow on ball says ball, arrow on foot says foot. Other picture showing American hand egg player. Arrow on hand says hand, arrow on egg says egg. Cuz Americans play football with hands and egg shapes... And I'm explaining the joke. You shouldn't explain jokes, that makes them less funny. This is why I have no friends. This and the fact I spend more time writing alt text on blue sky than I spend writing my friends. I should probably do that instead..
But I need to finish doom scrolling first. Also friends don't want me to call when I'm on the toilet. Doom scrolling is ok to do on the toilet.

Wooooop!!. Is Microsoft (finally) making #PowerShell 7 the default?!
Screenshot from @windowsserver on twitter with "notification of Legacy Component removal". PowerShell 2.0 is removed from WS2025, and next line states "Working on making PS7 as the default in vNext"

Too was well aligned to not share..
Two bluesky posts in a row. First one is Alice Averlong: I can't really tell you my actual deadname. But I can confirm it's 1000% not Terry Bollea.
Second post, anonymized:ish: I think this Terry guy might be onto something

Forum post: 
I'm studying biotech and every time someone brings up mushrooms our current professor will look either extremely excited or pained and go "listen... Mushrooms are neither plants nor animals nor something in between. They elude all attempts to categorize them. We do not know what they are. Some are immortal. Some produce life saving substances. Some are so closely related to humans that eating them may cause an allergic reaction against your own body. I cannot teach you about the mushrooms."

Last week my band, internal decay, released our first new music in 33(!) years.. Go listen to it - It's really good. (Also - We need more streams) Available on all major platforms, and most not-so-major ones. song.link/s/0KakH3OgQ7...

Took me a while before i realized who Eamon(?) looked like.. it's Sprocket from the fraggles!
A dog in a basket. The dog in question is named sprocket and is from the fraggle rock puppet cartoon. I loved the fraggles when I grew up. Gobo was my idol, and trash heap was the funniest thing ever.. 
And I always wondered what the doozer buildings tastes like... Sugar I think. Like candy canes. I remember that one episode where the fraggles stopped eating the doozer buildings and it turned out the doozers wanted them to eat it so they could build new things.
Such innocent wonderful times...
Anyway, sprocket looks a lot like Eamon in the original posts picture.

Two snaps from a boxing match. First frame is cool person taking aim, the text "Microsoft copilot"superimposed. Second picture is the other guy looking sad and scared, work superimposed b text "me, literally just enjoying creating stuff".
I think the scared person is named Paul or something, and it is my impression that he is a bad person. I may be wrong. It is two am and I am a bit drunk.

Sweden and England comparing wood forms of the word "dog". England has two, the dog and two dogs. Sweden has four - en hund, hunden, två hundar, hundarna. Germany enters saying "wait I want to try to". Starts to say German forms. After 11 forms, Finland enters saying "hey guys, can I join in?" The other answers "dear God, no", "nej", "Nein Nein Nein you go away Finland!"
Finland starts listing words forms. First 14 different words. England says "what's happening", Germany says "Mein godt".
Finland continues with about 50 more words. Germany goes "this is wide than I imagined". England whimpers. 
Finland covers the screen. In the background - endless lists of words and forms of words. So many words. So many K's. 
Next frame: Finland says "... And koirinennekokaan!"
Germany says: "thank God it is finally over". England asks Germany "can you speak some German again?".
Sweden is dead. 
Last frame. Everyone looks tired. Finland smirks and says ".. And now for the plural forms"

Now for something completely different. It took 30+ years, but the debut album of Internal Decay (my band!) is being re-released on vinyl, CD, and streaming. Go buy it! (And keep your eyes open for new material and live gigs)

That's a nice set of chanterelles! Here the season for yellow ones is over, but the funnel chanterelles are absolutely everywhere! Picture from this Thursday, about 2 hours dog walk and some 5-6 litres of funnels.
A basket with many liters of funnel chanterelles, next to a glass put there for size comparison.

Apparently, when reading about #Azure #Boards, it is more important to know how to enable the Azure DevOps MCP server for Azure Boards than, you know... What is Azure boards.. 🤦
The first three headlines in the Microsoft Learn chapter for Azure Boards. The top headline reads "Azure Boards Documentation", the second reads "Azure DevOps MCP Server", and third reads "What is Azure Boards"

Seriously.. WhatsApp - what an absolute shit show. Who in the world of the entire history of everything holy thought this was a good idea?! And why can't I get the last of my friends to stop using this absolute nightmare? Seriously - The creators of this should feel ashamed.

I may have missed a lot of my demos because I ran out of time, but at least I got a bad foto and an awesome time at my first session at #PSConfEU 2025... And the follow up open stage where the rest of the demos were done was fantastically fun!

Sun, dog, beer. Could be worse I guess.

A while ago there was this "all men think about the Roman empire" thing going. I don't think I've ever thought about the Roman empire. Very few days have passed my adult life where I have not thought of Leonid Brezhnevs eyebrows though...

If you are running #AzureDevOps #CICD pipelines on #Ubuntu images things are changing. Latest will be bumped and older images are deprecated so make sure your pipelines keep working. Which pipelines are affected? Check this - gist.github.com/bjompen/6533...

One cool and lesser known feature of #PowerShell is that you can use validation on variables everywhere, not just in param() blocks! You can prevent this behaviour by adding the [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] decorator to the $MyParam variable.

Worth noting - The chars are actually indexed using int values. If you're not thinking case sensitive _or has 'ö' in your name_ this may give.. interesting results 😂
