next atproto meetup needs to happen here in Kobe 🦋👀

Using atproto to alias user IDs because I _really_ don't want to manage user registrations handle → did → PDS → com.getmetastream.actor.profile → id Shortened, samuelmaddock.com → <long-user-id> without modifying DNS or storing the mapping on my own servers pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

Old tweet of mine is basically describing atproto. Thanks @pfrazee.com Also, "x.com" is revisionist history, I did not write that.

is it just me or is the @unicode.org emoji list page wildly slow? unicode.org/emoji/charts...

exporting only America's finest culture to Japan

Sometimes I need to reverse engineer websites for @getmetastream.com My starting point is logging Object.keys(globalThis). Since JS objects retain the order that keys are set, the end of this list are the global variables set by the website. Helps with finding any initialized video players.

@electronjs.org running as an overlay on Steam Deck 😍

@froggi.es I'm completely new to vulkan layers and came across your vkroots project. If I installed a layer on SteamOS, would it be able to overlay games? Or do I have a deep misunderstanding here?

Rolling out Chrome's IWAs (Isolated Web Apps) for Windows/Mac/Linux "isn't in the short-to-medium term plans". A bit disappointing that this feature won't be available widely for a long time. I'm guessing this is to reduce the risk of malicious apps? groups.google.com/a/chromium.o...

Chromium devs are so quick to review small code changes, even from external contributors. I need to know how they managed that.

I wrote my first lines of Rust code submitting a fix to @sentry.io's symbolicator service: github.com/getsentry/sy... Thankfully, they've done a great job setting up and documenting their codebase which made it very straightforward 🦀

@1password.bsky.social chrome extension in @electronjs.org using electron-chrome-extensions. To make this work, a new v8 scripting context is added to service workers in Electron to allow preload scripts to provide extension APIs.

Many hours were required to find this one line fix. I'm glad I don't need to write multi-threaded code often in my day-to-day...

Do delegates feel natural in JavaScript? class Installer { constructor(delegate) { this.delegate = delegate } install() { if (this.delegate) { const event = new Event() this.delegate?.beforeInstall(event) if (event.defaultPrevented) return } } }

had to complete a minigame to finish upgrading chromium in electron today

Progress on chrome extension manifest v3 support in Electron. Dark Reader is fully working now.
