Meta tilting the elections in Brazil - it sounded like a conspiracy theory, but (a) it refuses to do signs for Lula, and (b) when prompted with a very light banner, it fills it up with propaganda.
Amazing.

Microsoft has started rebuilding the Windows 11 Start menu from scratch with WinUI 3.
Expect noticeably quicker loading times and truly instant search results in the new design.
The menu will also let you freely resize it between compact and expanded views by dragging the edges, and you’ll be able to hide whole sections like Pinned,
Recommended, or the full All apps list whenever you want.
These updates finally respond to years of user feedback about the current version’s stiff layout and lack of real customization options.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores after a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.

We finally might have a reliable treatment for pancreatic cancer after all these decades. Usually survival is 13% at year 5–but those who took the mRNA vaccine & responded to drug—almost all still alive in year 6! However, RFK Jr just cancelled billions in mRNA research funding.
Pancreatic cancer has one of the most suppressive tumor microenvironments in oncology.
But two pancreatic cancer results dropped today. Both matter.
1. BioNTech mRNA neoantigen vaccine: nearly all responders still alive at 6 years. 98% of induced T cells were de novo — the immune system learned to see a cancer it had always been blind to.
2. Daraxonrasib: 47% ORR, 92% disease control as first-line monotherapy. KRAS G12D, undruggable for 40 years, finally has a drug.
Different mechanisms. Same disease. Both working.
<13% of patients survive 5 years. That number is about to change.
great day for science! 🔥

Just released SvgML.Uno package that lets you author an SVG element tree directly in @UnoPlatform XAML. Instead of loading an external .svg file, you declare svg, path, g, filters, text, and related nodes inline. nuget.org/packages/SvgML.Uno…

I challenge any other modern democratic country to prove that their populace is dumber than America's. Y'all can't do it. The election of Trump, especially the second term, cements America as the dumbest modern nation in history.

Whoever is cooking up these LEGO videos has the Trump regime completely figured out.
While the U.S. fumbles digital propaganda, Iran is dropping AI brick bangers that are actually landing.
They’re winning the meme war brick by brick. 🧱

I'm a solo indie dev who made a heavy metal horror game that's on XBox. It's an open world game where you hunt monsters from folklore.
I worked at Bethesda for 14 years on stuff like Skyrim/Fallout before making it.
Hope you like it if you check it out!

AI agents didn’t change the hard part of WPF migration. They changed the expensive part.
The mechanical 80%, namespace swaps, API translations, and event renames, is now much cheaper. The architectural 20% is still yours.
Our latest blog looks at how AI is changing the economics of legacy migration 👇
