claude code desktop has no plugin config? wth what do you mean `remote_marketplace_migration_done_v1` 😭

I couldn't be at #guadec2026 this year but I recorded a talk about JavaScript in GNOME, static analysis, types, and some performance work that @igalia.com is supporting. Will we finally nail the Big Hammer?? Video: www.youtube.com/live/HnduDRy... Slides: ptomato.name/talks/guadec...

all these posts about how atproto/bluesky is "so much better than the fediverse i promise trust me bro" yet none of them can explain why the latter is more active even with fewer people 😅

Come chat with me at the @igalia.com booth at GUADEC in @fic-udc.bsky.social!

permanent daylight savings doesn't go far enough

Glad to see the @webengineshackfest.org covered in the local tech magazine @codigocero.com. Of course I’m biased, but I’m very happy with the growth of the event and the really interesting discussions that happen there every year. See full interview in Galician: codigocero.com/Os-responsab...

always so amazed by the work we do in graphics 🖥️✨

twitch in the year of our lord 2026 won't let you see a 2k stream on firefox, absolutely diabolical. in the meantime youtube's been doing it forever atp.

The next session is live right now at #WebEngineHackfest! Aki Rose Braun and Ethan Arrowood are presenting "How to ship a registry when nobody wants to run one."

As a warm-up before the event, a bunch of the hackfest's participants enjoyed a nice hike at Fragas do Eume.

Part of why I'm asking..

Sure, JavaScripts' NaN is still here, but we never talk about the ones that didn't survive... NaW() // Not a window. Returns true if it is not a Window NaP() // Not a pickle. Returns true if it is not a Pickle MaP() // Maybe a pickle, returns true if we cannot definively rule out it's pickle nature

New on the blog - Some (suprisingly fun) history of a CSS problem and a resolution that my colleague @andreubotella.com has been working on @igalia.com - we could use your help testing! bkardell.com/blog/GetClam...

There are many tools for unprivileged sandboxing on Linux. You should probably go use one of them. But I wrote shandbox to scratch my itch muxup.com/shandbox /home/$user/sandbox shows up as /home/sandbox within the shared sandbox, which otherwise can only access explicitly mapped files/dirs.

Lately I've found myself repeating the same explanations to different people about how Node.js and V8 build/test/stay in sync with each other. To reduce the parroting, here's a blog post about the workflows, challenges I see, and some hands-on tips joyeecheung.github.io/blog/2026/05...

Is that butter? No it's ghee. Oh thanks for clarifying

Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺 May it become more and more united, setting an example of how we can work together to improve everybody's life, leaving nobody behind.

The open web is for everyone and should work for everyone too. Check out Brian's insightful new post to read about the convergence of three of my favorite topics: browsers, linguistics and programming.

Ecma is the home of TC39 - the committee that defines JavaScript. Ujjwal's blog post explains how the Standards Developing Organisation (SDO) works.

I've been working for a long time alongside different folks to spread the word about web standards, how JavaScript is standardized and help improve how responsive we are to the needs of developers. For more @tc39.es lore, read my first post in "What even is Ecma?" www.ryzokuken.dev/blog/about-e...

"Benches are where optimistic visions of civic life meet reality. To remove them, or to curate who gets to sit, is to abandon the work of defining a civic ideal and determining, together, how to live up to it." NEW: Why benches are slowly disappearing from public spaces — and why we need them back:

📣 Linux 7.0 has been released Once again, Igalians have contributed lots of work! www.igalia.com/2026/04/15/L...

wait, is anyone still using wallabag? i just put so much effort into setting it up just to see that it's abandoned somehow? how well maintained is it? are you folks using another alternative instead?

See you tomorrow!

it was so cool to sit down with these awesome maintainers and chat about @npmx.dev! check out our newest episode of Igalia chats.

see you all here!

why is the new york times so bad

Meet JSSE - a Claude Code built Javascript Engine - that passes 100% of the test262 suite. First of a kind... More info at p.ocmatos.com/blog/jsse-a-... #claude #javascript #engine #agents

This must've been one of the most challenging things I've worked on in a while. Thanks Bloomberg for sponsoring my work on this, and everyone who helped shipping a fix in time!

Interesting post: image.coop/blog/posts/2... > Two years ago, we came across Valerie Young’s excellent talk, Inside Igalia: Scaling a Co-Op Beyond 100 Members. If you are still reading, you should probably add it to your watch list. Love it, welcome!

Thanks to the Servo community, we raised 59430 USD last year! We spent nearly half of that amount on… 👩‍🔧🎓 one Outreachy internship 📦🤖 five dedicated CI servers 👨‍🏫🧑‍🎓 89 hours of review work opencollective.com/servo/update...

WebXR on WPE WebKit is here! Igalia’s Sergio Villar breaks down the architecture, OpenXR backend, hand input, AR modes, and the road ahead. blogs.igalia.com/svillar/post...

I am very excited to announce our partnership @eurosky.social with @igalia.com! The partnership will accelerate the development of independent, European-operated infrastructure for the open social web, enabling developers, organizations, & communities to build new applications. cc @xanlopez.xyz

Big news! Igalia (@igalia.com) is partnering with @eurosky.social to develop the next generation of the open social web. Let's stop waiting for others to fix our problems and start fixing them ourselves. We can just do things. More: www.eurosky.tech/s/Eurosky-Ig...

The Temporal proposal, co-championed by Igalia, advances to Stage 4 at TC39 — replacing JavaScript's Date API after nine years of work. Congratulations to everyone involved! Here's to better date-time handling on the web and beyond. www.igalia.com/2026/03/13/T...

When did @tc39.es advance Temporal to Stage 4? 2026-03-11T11:16:42-04:00[America/New_York][u-ca=iso8601] That string format is defined in RFC 9557 which was one of the prerequisite steps along the way in the standardization process.

ECMAScript Euphoria! 🎉 We don't always post when a single proposal advances, but when we do, it's Temporal -> Stage 4. Just days shy of 9 years from Stage 1, a herculean effort on the part of many champions, delegates, invited experts, and contributors, past and present. Thank you all! 🙌

its the end of an era

Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂 Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years! I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜 bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/post...

ECMAScript EXTRA-SPECIAL excitement 😉 🚨🚨🚨 IT'S ABOUT TIME! 🚨🚨🚨 Congrats to @ptomato.name on advancing Temporal to Stage 4 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Temporal is the replacement for the JavaScript Date API 👍
