Every time I read these stories I cant help but think of Vance who came to Munich to tell Europe that we have freedom of speech problem.

The Telegraph has taken that fake story with the stock photo illustrations down. But it's pitiful what the right wing media in this country has become.
Brexit broke them and they never recovered. They spent years pretending black was white and up was down. They lost their moral bearings completely.

I will say, I know a *lot* of devs who made good choices like this to take care of their users, quietly doing the right thing. I wish more people knew how often some programmer made a thoughtful decision to protect their interests that they never knew about.
10 years ago, in college, I turned down an offer to buy a privacy-focused app that I built, rather than risk my users' data being exposed. Instead, I licensed the app's source code to them for half the money, and accepted a job offer to work on their forked version of the app.
I could have made millions of dollars, multiple times, if I had chosen to just go along with people who later went on to destroy the public sphere, to undermine journalism, to weaken democracy globally, to enable the rise of fascism, to *literally directly enable genocide*. So many others did.

Could Tailwind agree to follow Widely Available Baseline? · tailwindlabs tailwindcss · Discussion #15817
Hi, Congrats on the v4 release! However the browser support, in a professional setting, makes me a bit itchy. Chrome and Safari are March 2023 versions, so that's not so bad as we only have 8 month...

A great start would be retaliating immediately with a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.
GET READY: The White House just said Trump will implement 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on China beginning SATURDAY.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

Great to hear that brands have now started shuttering their accounts on the far-right cesspit that Twitter has become.

Lewis Goodall absolutely nails it here.
Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.
It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

More great work by the @e18e.dev community.
Also a great example of the value of keeping dependencies up to date using Renovate or Dependabot!

Just landed a change with some help from @skk.moe to save 112 TB of traffic to the npm registry by switching to the amazing tinyglobby library from @superchupu.dev. I noticed this opportunity using an awesome tool that @fuzzyma.bsky.social developed and shared with the @e18e.dev community!

damn, this is impressive.
tldr, the repo's github action workflow wasn't safely evaluating the github PR's branch name, and it opened up a shell injection, and the attacker was able to inject a crypto miner into a popular pypi package

My PR removing the fs-extra dependency from get-uri - in favour of Node’s native fs module - has been merged and published.
This change is estimated to save around 600GB of bandwidth every month.
Interested in making the npm ecosystem faster and more efficient?

Really interesting watch.
Great video covering more details on the hack of Andrew Tate's "The Real World."
A lot of good content regarding the vulnerabilities the hackers leveraged and other details I didn't get into in my article.

It’s been very hard to feel positive about the direction of the country over the last decade, but it definitely feels like we’re turning a corner now.
Labour is so clearly the party of law and order.
Police-recorded crimes hit a 20-year high under the Tories, and we all felt it. Starmer is already coming down hard on criminals.
