How is it possible that the zendesk spam is still going on??? At some point if you are not able to deal with it the only responsible thing to do is to take your product offline until you have a solution.

Popular enough for AI agents to hallucinate me, not popular enough for them to hallucinate me correctly.

Borrowing these filters from @notnite.com, so I can regain some order in my inbox:

Raise your hand if you are one of the cool kids like me, @lcas.dev, @snek.dev and @jonaskruckenberg.de whose inbox is getting DoSed by "Activate your account" emails.

So, what's happening to my emails?

The EC is putting together an initiative to develop their strategy for open digital ecosystems. Given its potential to push forward the development and funding of open-source software in Europe and beyond, Igalia submitted a response with some suggestions. Read more: www.igalia.com/2026/02/03/I...

1. buy juice 2. leave it in the fridge until it expires 3. drink it Any tips on how to swap (2) and (3)?

Ok actually I still cannot migrate to Wayland because of github.com/deskflow/des... and github.com/deskflow/des... :/

Peak JS code is a file that self-installs its dependencies, and then even patches them before `require()`'ing them.

The www.era.europa.eu (EU agency for railways) has a "share on Bluesky" button and no "share on Twitter" button! (well done @erarailways.bsky.social 😄)

I just realized that my first PR to Babel (which happened to not get merged, but 🤷) is from more than 10 years ago! 🧓

If anybody needs it, feel free to copy my code from github.com/babel/babel/... :) It has a script that fails CI if a package does not exist on npm, and when run locally it publishes a placeholder package and opens the browser window to make you set it up.

Don't waste your time going up and down a DOM tree scouring for one of sixteen CSS properties that create new stacking contexts. Just use Polypane. Three clicks is all it takes.

I was stuck on an old Ubuntu version because I use an app (ulauncher.io) that needs some X11 features for which there is no Wayland alternative (being able to list the open windows and raise one on top). I think I found a gnome extension (search light) that almost fits what I need and unblocks me 😄

With the new npm publishing process, how do you deal in monorepos with the fact that you cannot just publish a new package, because first you need to set up trusted publishing in its settings?

So much innovation around package managers these days

There is a whole debate in Italy because the US is going to use ICE for security at the Olympics in Milan

Maybe Europe should express solidarity with the protestors in the US, like we do for protests in other violent oppressive regimes.

Really wishing that somebody would hire my company (@igalia.com) to standardize/implement support for import maps in web workers. I already have a draft spec PR ready and there is interest from the community, which company wants to be the hero funding pushing it forward? :)

After upgrading to @babel.dev v8, tsdown's startup time decreased by ~50ms.

🙋‍♂️ so ... for reasons: I would love to know people's frustrations with: - the current npmjs.com - admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally) 🙏

Ohhh very cool, Firefox now supports split view where you can have a tab that contains two pages side by side.

watch or read the full Mark Carney's speech > (...) we believe that from the fracture we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and the most to gain from genuine cooperation

This percentage figure really shows how much control EU companies have given to their US counterparts. Also, how big is the opportunity here. > 80% of total spending on cloud software and services for business use in Europe went to US companies

Fellow Europeans, what object storage provider are you using for your company? What VPS provider? What payment processor? Too difficult to quickly switch those? What about your DNS registrar? Reinvest European money in Europe, help our tech sector become more and more competitive.

My Android (OnePlus) phone got an update and it broke the time picker in the most annoying possible way 🙃 When I tap on a time I see that it picks the correct one, but as soon as I lift the finger it rounds to the nearest 5 minutes.

European nations desperately need to end our dependence on American technological infrastructure. For areas such as banking, defence and security as well as many of the basic infrastructural materials underpinning modern IT systems this is going to prove especially difficult, but it has to be done.

Tried making (vegetarian) sushi again! (with @lcas.dev & family)

I've been using Immich (immich.app) for the past month, instead of Google Photos, and it's quite nice. I'm hosting it on a small Hetzner VM, but any home server / old pc would do.

So the US is putting 25% extra tariffs on Europe until when they get Greenland

Is there any open source distributed authentication system? Something like "log in with Google"/etc, except that somehow people can choose their provider independently from the products they want to use it with, even self-host maybe. Or being able to transfer to another provider.

Can we have our AIs date eachother and do nice things together while we stay doomscrolling locked in our apartments? 👉👈🥺

Off-by-one errors in days in a *calendar application* (Thunderbird) is a new one

Orban's campaign video with foreign politicians is like when all the avengers get together except that it's the worst people he could find that would talk to him.

The UK has gone woke and only allows vegan food into the country.

64% of WebKit non-Apple contributions, 20% of Chromium non-Google, 27% of Servo, 39% of test262, and it goes on. And doing all this as a worker-owned, employee-run cooperative. The world would be a very different place if companies like Igalia were the norm rather than the exception in tech.

Microft surpassed Igalia as the #2 non-Google committer, but this is still a pretty amazing chart of cumulative commits until the end of 2025 - #1 is still Igalia! www.igalia.com/2026/01/05/D...

This is a reminder: We’re still looking for an experienced Project Manager to help develop and deliver new projects at the Sovereign Tech Agency, from supporting the #DigitalCommons #EDIC to organizing events like the Maintain-a-thon at the United Nations.

Autocomplete in a freshly installed, not logged in, version of Chrome almost looks like a phishing attempt.

ESM (ECMAScript Modules, as we all know) is crucial to go to space! Take that, CommonJS.

I really wish I could talk to somebody that works on the rfi (manager of Italy's rail infrastructure) website to understand how their system can be so bad that even an unsupervised AI could have probably done it better.

I got my hair cut a bit today after years(?) of being scared of doing it and now I wish I had done it sooner

Finnish and Hungarian have the same roots, they can't understand each other though. And they are a world apart from Indo-european languages. From www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?pa...

Italy fined Cloudflare because it refuses to implement our instant censorship mechanism "Piracy Shield" (a small group of people representing the interests of football streaming services can block any IP in 30 minutes, with no warning or courts involved), and Cloudflare basically said "fuck you" 🎊

Sometimes I think I end too many of my messages with :)

I just came back to Amsterdam for my first winter in the Netherlands, and after growing up in northern Italy this is exactly what it feels like 🤣 (original author: www.instagram.com/alisa_law)

Not to brag, but I have a Logitech mouse and I can still click on things 😎

Thinking about the fact that most EU leaders still have an account on the American non-consensual child pornography website...

Getting ready to travel back home tomorrow, and the status today is "all trains are cancelled" because of the snow (the airport is also not doing much better)

"Fight against the new npm publishing process" is the new trauma bonding experience for maintianers
