.NET is not a windows-only language. Actually .NET is not a language, C# is a language. I am currently working on a .NET GUI application for macOS.

How is the Oracle one? It has better reviews in VS Code marketplace than the Red Hat one (jdtls)

The PaaS section seems odd to me too. AWS 63% followed by Vercel 7.9%. But Vercel runs on AWS I believe. Azure just 4.6% and no showing for GCP at all.

Seems odd that C# does not figure in the top 10 programming languages, yet ASP.Net is the 4th most popular web framework with 10% share?

The React docs point devs toward Next.js if you want to use RSC but here is a simpler option.

What does "tied" mean in this headline? One presumes correlation rather than causation. https://xkcd.com/552

I create workouts in Garmin Connect

Opposite experience here. Went from Apple Watch to Garmin, couldn't be happier. Never had an issue with the charging point chafing, it is recessed and no problem. Buttons to start/stop/pause/resume activity work as expected, so much better than trying to swipe and tap the Apple Watch screen especially in wet conditions. GPS sync never been an issue for me, you can start an activity before it syncs and it figures it out.

A Garmin watch is absolutely designed for wearing all the time, even when sleeping. You might prefer not to for reasons of appearance or because there are features of some other smart watch that you like, but Garmin is fine for what I use it for and does notifications etc. The battery life was a game changer for me (as an Apple Watch switcher) since it's now something I just don't worry about whereas with Apple Watch it was a daily thing and it let me down on several runs too.

It's meant to be an indicator of fitness but agreed it doesn't make any practical difference to how you train

Experience of those race predictions varies! Mine are over-optimistic but not by that much, a friend is the other way round and Garmin continued to predict a slower time even when he actually recorded races in faster times.
If we look at Desktop only (since Microsoft has no mobile OS) it is Chrome 65.14%, Edge 14.64%, Safari 8.06% and Firefox 6.09%.
From this we can conclude that Google and Apple are quite successful at keeping users of their OS on their browsers (Chrome and Safari), but Microsoft is not.
Despite the issues Mozilla mentions, it is mainly on Windows that alt browsers succeed.
The problem here perhaps is that if Microsoft makes it even easier for third-party browsers to succeed on Windows, the main beneficiary will be Google rather than Mozilla.
