Mozilla Festival took place in Barcelona, and I really loved it.

It’s a conference about how we can all fix the Internet with Wikipedia, Tor, EFF, lawyers, and activists.

Compared to boring tech conferences, it was a real breath of fresh air. Highly recommend.

Directives and the platform boundary. Tanner Linsley cautions that custom directives like use client and use server blur the line between framework and platform, urging developers to prefer explicit APIs and real standards. #js

People don’t just get things wrong when they believe fake news, some do it on purpose.

They stick to claims that are easy to disprove because it makes them feel powerful, independent, and connected to their group.

Saw a great film today, Mr Nobody Against Putin. It was hard not to draw parallels between the propaganda the Russian government is imposing on its schools and the Alberta government's intrusion in school curricula & libraries on sexuality, gender & more. Enough!

In our culture, there’s a “women are wonderful” effect, a bias where women are assumed by default to have more positive traits.

But the effect decreases as gender equality rises, and it’s men who start being viewed more positively.

It’s amazing how most wooden toy train sets share a common track standard. You can mix tracks and cars from IKEA, Brio, or even Chinese brands.

Funny, considering how people can’t agree on a single standard in far more important things.

I switched to the Zed Mono font (aka Lilex by Mikhael Khrustik, based on IBM Plex Mono) in both Zed and my terminal.

Combined with Zed’s excellent font rendering, it looks really nice.

In Russian podcast by @nikitonsky I found out that the entire modern text rendering stack relies on a library called harfbuzz, which, in turn, relies on literally one person.

It only has 5K stars (in case you think stars reflect importance).

I created a chat group for fellow dads in Barcelona to share fun activities with kids and get together on weekends.

For the group profile picture, I asked an AI to generate an image of how I see fatherhood in Barcelona.

Proud to be in this list of 22 open source projects receiving grants from the CEO of Vercel.

It’s great that he also brought attention to these projects.

I’m especially glad to see @e18e.dev there. They’re systematically speeding up the Node.js ecosystem for years.

If you’re interesting in Russia history, I can recommend Vertinskiy TV show, which I just ended and liked a lot.

This famous singer from Russian Empire had a unique life with running away from revolution. It resonates so much with today’s realities of Russian immigration.
