👋 We're re-thinking the stance on React 18 support for the next major release of React Router (v8), instead making React 19 the minimum supported version. If you got thoughts, concerns, etc... feel free to drop them here: github.com/remix-run/re...

Finally a great use of AI for my daily routine - Prompted Playlists on Spotify is a feature I've wanted for a long time. I don't have the energy/memory to go through and manually curate playlists (I still mostly listen to 90s music) so really hoping this proves to work well

The Policy Director for the President of the United States said that the VA nurse was murdered because he was an “assassin.” And not one Republican in Congress will say a god damn word about because they are spineless cowards.

Republicans are in favor of having a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government unless you have a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government

They’re just straight up murdering people in broad daylight now

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Been working in some prettier `semi: false` code for a bit and I'm surprised how much I don't notice/don't care

We found that the fix to address the DoS vulnerability in React Server Components (CVE-2025-55184) was incomplete and does not prevent an attack in a specific case. This is disclosed as CVE-2025-67779. New patches are available now, please update immediately.

Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week. These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

The new fetcher.unstable_reset function is so nice Previously, to accomplish this little UX I'd have to pull in useState and keep another state in sync. Now I can just do this: onChange={() => { if (isSuccess) { fetcher.unstable_reset(); } }} Thanks @brophdawg11.com

This is RSC-specific, and should be called out as such. There's *tons* (the majority, I'd wager) of React sites that are completely unaffected by this. They should probably upgrade regardless, but for those that may not be in a position to do so, they might not need to freak out.

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.
