Money where our mouth is time, I think. @1password.bsky.social, you are not irreplaceable, even if it will be annoying to do so

Node.js is moving to one major release per year starting with Node 27! 🚀 ✅ Simpler: Every release becomes LTS. ✅ Predictable: Version numbers now align with the year. ✅ New: A 6-month Alpha channel for early testing. https://bit.ly/4rnosLg

Pizza places pioneered online ordering so that we wouldn't have to have a conversation in order pizza. 20-30 years later, AI companies want us to have a conversation to interact with basically any piece of software. We have regressed.

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout. - Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere - We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

docs.google.comEx-Masonry Display Type Keyword PollSee https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context. This poll intentionally leaves out `masonry` as an option, see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-34172962...

The Ruby community deserves to know who voted for this and what information they were acting on. Ruby Central is actually very opaque. They don’t publish donations, they don’t publish votes, the community has no say who’s on the board. There is no accountability.

Honestly serious: JUST DON'T UPDATE PACKAGES RIGHT NOW. It is unclear to me yet, but this is looking pretty wide spread. Better be safe than sorry, just go touch some grass.

Do not update to @ctrl/tinycolor@4.1.2. It has malware that is currently live on npm.

FULL OPENTELEMETRY = 81% PERFORMANCE DROP That's not a typo. Complete auto-instrumentation obliterated throughput. P99 latency jumped from 26ms → 104ms Before you reach for distributed tracing, ask: Do you need traces or just metrics?

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.
