While sick in bed, I’ve been playing with blackboard.sh/electrobun/d... and claude code. Several feverish (literally) hours later for the first time ever I have a decent contacts app on my Linux laptop. Next: calendar, notes, email

🎯💯 Key insight. This is what #Merzoni, B & vdL brings to the table tomorrow. A full attack on EU & sell out to Trump & US tech oligarchs. The opposite of what is needed & what EUs citizens wants, but they bow to Trump & industrialists living in the past, who care not for the people of EU. 🫶🇪🇺⚔️ #EUsky

Just read this from @nodeland.dev adventures.nodeland.dev/archive/the-... Probably the single most relevant and sensible take on what’s happening in our industry I’ve read. (From one of the VERY few newsletter actually worth subscribing to)

This article is a very useful reframing of the tired “Europe falling behind in tech” whinge. Europe has actually build the foundations for socially useful tech, for decades. What it has not done is attempt to create Empires by extracting cash from that work. ploum.net/2026-01-22-w...

📜 "Date is out, Temporal is in" An article by @wil.to on problems found in the ancient JS Date API and how they are solved in the modern Temporal API 👍 Focuses on immutability and ergonomics of calculations. Love the kicker.

Today the Temporal proposal has entered the stable stream shipping Chrome 144. This opens the gates for attaining Stage 4 at TC39. That means tonight I will be purchasing a supply of champagne in preparation. It’s been a long journey and so very worthwhile!

As a European I hope to live long enough to see a Federal European Union! 🔥 #feu

Woo! Cannot wait to speak at State Of The Browser 2026. Looking forward to meeting other people in this space too, see you next year!

🇪🇺 Is now the keep of Western values. And it's under threat. Under no circumstances can we allow exceptionalism to undermine our Union and the primacy of commitment to unity.

Chrome 144 beta is out now→ goo.gle/48zbLpB This release includes the Temporal API for better JavaScript dates, the <geolocation> element, @scroll-state container queries, and more.

I’ve been playing with module loaders and node sea recently. Anthropic supposedly bought bun because of the ease of application bundling. Now the same is easily achievable with node.js using www.npmjs.com/package/@pip... Applications bundled and runnable directly from zip-archives or SEAs.

I have personally spoken to a group of WI members who will be writing letters to the WI and renouncing their membership because of this. Dear WI, dear Girl Guiding; You know you’re on the wrong side of an issue if your grandma feels the need to protest.

I’m reading the news and thought it’s probably worthwhile asking people to read the UN Declaration of Human Rights once again. Those are the foundation upon which civilisation rests. How civilised are we? www.un.org/en/about-us/...

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉 You can run: node index.ts The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.

🇪🇺⚠️ A perfidious trick? The EU Council Presidency wants to introduce mandatory #chatcontrol through the backdoor 🚪: An Art. 4 amendment would MANDATE "all appropriate risk mitigation measures," including scanning, enforced with sanctions! 😡 […]

Every interaction with a British police officer has left me more convinced that they’re all chocolate teapots; decorative, sweet, but ultimately useless.

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most. So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

🚀 BIG NEWS: We just shipped @platformatic/python - run Python ASGI apps INSIDE your Node.js process! This changes everything for AI/ML + Node.js apps 🧵 youtu.be/8eAAP9IF4xA

Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

Excellent summary! (Disclosure: I wrote mod_xslt2 for Apache 2 back in the day and have extensively used XSLT to format base data into all kinds of things)

This is a good article from @bearlypolitics.co.uk albeit surely uncomfortable reading for everyone on all sides in the UK. Firstly, we should all admire the directness and economy in his writing. 1

(In post 5, Niall's Patented Tips on Campaigning.) The chances of Europe changing its visa waivers in favour of one country are minimal. Could other changes to Schengen happen?

Sometimes we take for granted what an amazing achievement of human collaboration this is Never have so many countries worked together for the betterment of all their citizens

It’s hard to overstate how much this will benefit things! This is absolutely HUGE!

Hoooray! I get to se Os NAPA once again on November 7th in London. Their set at Summer Opening in Funchal was phenomenal.

Type stripping is enabled by default 🔥🔥🔥🔥 You can just run `node file.ts` without `--experimental-strip-types` flag. This is a huge milestone

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Richard Gibson on conditionally advancing Immutable ArrayBuffers to Stage 3 at TC39 this week 🎉 ArrayBuffer.prototype. get immutable() transferToImmutable(newLength) sliceToImmutable(start, end) The data in an Immutable ArrayBuffer cannot change 🔒

Welcome back, Ozzy

This motion before the UK House of Commons is really not acceptable. Firstly, let's reiterate somethings: Schengen is a core part of European unity; Having a common visa waiver is how we keep our internal borders open 90/180 is designed to prevent overstay and stop illegal working. A 🧵

„Wenn es nicht dein ist, nimm es nicht. Wenn es nicht richtig ist, tu es nicht. Wenn es nicht wahr ist, sag es nicht. Wenn du es nicht weißt, schweige.“ Diese Prinzipien betonen Ehrlichkeit,Integrität und Bescheidenheit – Werte, die in vielen Kulturen hochgehalten werden, aber oft schwer einzuhalten

Thanks @jakob.jingleheimer.dev for the recommendation. We made it just on time before their run is over 👍

These astute points from @seanconnorswrites.bsky.social neatly demonstrate why Europe is not going to relent on commitment to the euro for applicant states And it comes down ti that much abused phrase "single market" A 🧵 (Apologies @brainburnnow.bsky.social + @andrewbrook.bsky.social forimages)

Landed support for proxies in Node.js http/https builtins github.com/nodejs/node/... To enable proxies configured from *_PROXY env vars: use NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1. This was already implemented for fetch and released in 24 github.com/nodejs/node/... - soon the old builtins will also support it.

🧵 At JSNation, I showed graphs that honestly left me speechless about Node.js upgrade patterns Let me break down why I'm so passionate about getting you to upgrade - from security nightmares to exciting v24 features: 1/11 👇

So there is a need to respond to the lies that have been circulating about Europe, MSs and 90/180. This is the visa waiver defined in law (2018/1806). As you can see, the maximum visa waiver is 90/180 days. Britain qualifies for that. 1
