I need to stop using the metric of "if a hacker news post has a lot of comments, then the article is worth a read" and instead read the comments first.

Lately, there have many controversial articles (with a lot of comments) that are most likely written by AI and I regret wasting my time on. Sigh, is there a hacker news replacement with higher quality articles that I don't know about? I imagine all platforms are inundated with slop now.

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing this.

If somehow you were still using legacy ASP.NET / Framework 4.8 etc, you have much bigger problems - legacy ASP.NET has been unsupported since 2022 so will definitely not be receiving security updates.

I don't think this is correct:

.NET 4.8 / 4.8.1 shows does not have an end of support date set: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/d...

Also ASP.NET MVC 5 does not have an end of support date set: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/a...

There are plenty of apps out there were there is no feasible upgrade path to .NET Core / .NET 9, so I imagine MS will continue to support these for a very long time. Note that the VB6 runtime is still supported in all Windows operating systems: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualst...
