some of us never left!

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

very nice talk by @maggieappleton.com. the demo at the end is a lot like the thing I am about to open source that lets agents in the terminal spin up arbitrary HTML pages that talk back to the agent

✨ My new library gpuix-svelte is out! Build native desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux using Svelte and gpui, a Rust-powered graphics engine. Excited to see what you build! #svelte #native gpuix-svelte.stanislav.garden

interesting framework that matches my own experience both of coding in general and agentic coding specifically. i don't know if its predictions are accurate, or if 'decoherence collapse' is inevitable, but as a person who unfortunately has to use software, it does feel like software is decohering

Woah. Buckminsterfuller minesweeper.

I’m pleased to see soft navigations count towards LCP. This was an argument I made when I worked on Google Chrome because single page apps can provide much faster UX. Let’s say goodbye to the outdated nonsense metaphors that JS is smog or a traffic jam. It never made sense — now we have the data.

ran the staten island half marathon yesterday. last race before the big one on november 1. felt pretty good — goal was to run at marathon pace rather than do a PR — but the prospect of doing it twice in a row is... daunting main takeaway: you should ride the staten island ferry before sunrise

saw Behemoth! at the new york film festival and wondering if there's anything tony gilroy can't do. fucking brilliant

After about a year, on and off, I am veeeery happy to release TWINKLEPLOP, a syntax highlighter of tremendous power! The speed of prism with the customisation of Shiki. twinkleplop.pngwn.at

Zuckerberg says the science isn’t settled. But the harms of short-form video on the brain are starting to show | Caty Enders

PSA: universal basic income / guaranteed minimum income is a form of systemic relief, not systemic change. The former makes room for the latter, but there’s no theory of change in UBI, it’s just a patch fix to avert violent collapse. The steady erosion of agency continues until we OWN STUFF again.

I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. https://seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-open-source-we-can-force-them-to/

This short story (by the "there is no anti-memetics division" guy) is fantastic and horrifying and you should all read it

I am the very model of a modern day typographer I know the type tonalities from elegant to jocular I am a master tracker and my kerning is harmonical I know the sacred swatches and can name the hues Pantonical (Full version of Modern Day Typographer now on my YouTube channel)

Some @layercake.graphics news: with @openclimatedata.net's help and @techniq.dev's insights, v11 of the library is out and has fully converted into runes instead of the @svelte.dev Store API. tldr; many fewer dollar-signs!

hell of a piece. wooooof harpers.org/archive/2026...

The authoritarians are winning, we can all see that. Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be the worst thing if pro-democracy people stopped being ridiculously naive about social media. berjon.com/media-media/

Seeing a lot of dev-on-dev harassment has got me thinking about what open software development feels like nowadays.

this is a fascinating (and sobering) read

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

Respected friends and acquaintances, initial-scale is dead! We are freed of its tyranny. You no longer need to include it in your HTML head. It is an obsolete part of your head's meta viewport declaration. The details: vale.rocks/micros/20260... #WebDev #HTML

If you run Omarchy I will judge you

💯 > Blaming #GDPR for the cookie banner is like blaming the health inspector for the roaches. The banner is deliberate vandalism, a dark pattern engineered to exhaust you before you can learn anything about the #surveillance apparatus humming behind the "OK." matduggan.com/you-know-gdp... #privacy

a few weeks ago I recorded an updated Svelte(Kit) workshop with @frontendmasters.com. i'm proud of it and you should check it out! master.dev/courses/svel...

Last few days for early bird pricing for Svelte Summit! If you're quick you can snag another 10% off 👇

It's time to try kimbia.app All feedback welcome, we are early and we are listening.

The more I think about it the more it seems the Discourse is missing an essential ingredient. We must bring the context that Machines Work For Us, We Don't Work For Machines. This is the core leftist argument that is least clearly articulated, but that all else flows from. Solutions start there.

"Content creator" spamming blog posts on X about topics I do find interesting but can't get myself to read because of the so-obvious AI slop. Framework authors discussing about trade-offs with "here's what my AI said in response to your AI". Something broke inside me today.

stable release coming soon! get yer bug reports in while you can the post contains a summary of what's changed. there's also a migration guide: next.svelte.dev/docs/kit/mig.... both were written by humans

Last chance to submit a CFP for Svelte Summit! 🚨 https://sveltesummit.com/cfp

tick tock!

you should come to Ljubljana even if you already know!

svelte is the number two framework

Just released a new project: Radial, a coding-agent orchestrator for atproto. It's a bit like a team issue tracker where you run your own agents with a system to capture what your agents learn into durable, reviewable team memory. www.disnetdev.com/blog/introdu...

Great talk from @rich-harris.dev on where the web is innovating youtu.be/xSr-gAZ8yeg?...

So excited for this — the Svelte community is so fun and idiosyncratic and welcoming and if this is anything like the last two conferences it will be an absolute blast. And Ljubljana is lovely. Submit a talk idea! Join the list! Would love to see you there

In the newest UIT INSIDE episode, @danabra.mov guides me through the layers of the AT Protocol: from at://URI and DID to PDS, repositories, relays, all the way up the stack to AppViews It's a bit technical, but Dan’s gift for clear analogies should make it approachable for anybody atproto-curious 🦋

Closing 9 issues with a single PR - didn't have that in a long time. This one is for a bunch of cleanup and streamlining of shallow routing (svelte.dev/docs/kit/sha...). It's gonna be part of SvelteKit 3, which is coming along great, prereleases are out on npm already - go try it out!

Tucked away in this article is an appeal to the AI skeptics to PLEASE stop writing off stories like this OpenAI accidental exploit of Hugging Face as a dishonest marketing trick Frontier models can find and exploit vulnerabilities now, it helps nobody to pretend that they can't!

the living daylights is also the best bond theme
