Are there any @nextjs.org experts out there who would be interested in helping migrate the adoptium.net site from Gatsby to Next.js. They’d need experience with i18n as well as mdx/asciidoc for content generation. @adoptium.net is an open source project and any help would be much appreciated!

Had a great evening hosting the London Java Community at the Microsoft Reactor for their monthly meetup! This was the first event (of hopefully many) hosted in a Microsoft office

It's 2025 and scammers are still trying to tell me that I've inherited millions of dollars from my late uncle in South Africa... Are people seriously still falling for this or have hackers lost their imagination?

Windows 32-bit has officially been removed in JDK 24. Sometimes you’ve got to remove things to advance more quickly in other areas… openjdk.org/jeps/479 #java #jep

Can you sort the website next so that it renders links correctly? For some reason it only works on the mobile app. Also please fix notifications on iOS, for some reason my notifications aren’t coming through

I've been using Copilot and ChatGPT for some time, and while 99% of the time it's awesome, sometimes it fails pretty badly Remember everyone, AI won't replace developers, it will simply make us more productive #AI #ChatGPT #copilot #Java
