Reading a blog post earnestly arguing that someone discovering a vulnerability being exploited by a nominally allied government shouldn't disclose that vulnerability and my dude do you think the fucking vulnerability knows who's exploiting it and makes a careful value judgement over ensuring it's only exploited for "good" purposes?

Just skimmed the section about frameworks in State of JS (https://2023.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/front-end-frameworks/)
The comments are gold if you want to understand what's going on there:
1. #Lit gets bashed for #WebComponents and missing wrappers for other frameworks...
2. Many people in the #ReactJS / #React comments who voted "want to use again" actually described that they HAVE to use it, but don't like to?This is so weird and IMO shows how the industry is shaped by tooling that ignores existing #Web standards.

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical, e-book or audiobook - that you have read within the past 3 days.)
Give this a boost, if you don't mind. It'd be nice to have lots of respondents.

I shit you not, the methodology is to load small-ish web pages with *no JS*, totally ignore power use from screens and radios (you know, the big ticket items?), guestimate that the average device uses power like a gaming rig, then do shoddy multiplication.
To what end? To try to extrapolate how much energy `` or `` use, totally ignoring the actually dominant factors.
This is WILD.

It's *fine* to want to do things and not have much skill in them. That's great. It's how we all start. But for the love of crom, do *not* suggest wild-ass speculation deserves a working group at an international standards body.
It will not go well.

For my sins, I was taken down the rabbit hole of a document called "The Carbon Impact of Web Standards" (no, I'm not linking to it).
Friends, I feel nauseous. I'm getting dumber just leaving this tab open. Does it start with a situated analysis of the potential contribution of web content to overall GHG emissions? Lol, no.
Nor does it start from any estimate of real-world site construction (e.g., via the HTTP Archive).
It's so, so much worse.

Recently, there was a viral tweet claiming that NVIDIA is like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble. Despite my best attempts to resist talking about this, I am giving into temptation: on today's Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I will take this one apart. Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble? Join us today at 5p Pacific to discuss!

Apple’s new slogan should be “act different.”
Today, we informed Apple of our preliminary view that its App Store rules are in breach of the Digital Markets Act, as they prevent app developers from freely steering consumers to alternative channels for offers and content.
We also opened a new non-compliance procedure over concerns that its new contractual requirements for third-party app developers and app stores fall short of ensuring effective #DMA compliance.

Following on from my story about Microsoft Edge moving from React to an "HTML-first" approach, I was contacted by a developer whose team has also made the shift from React’s "overwhelming VDOM" to modern DOM APIs. They immediately saw speed and interaction improvements. https://thenewstack.io/pivoting-from-react-to-native-dom-apis-a-real-world-example/ #WebDev cc @slightlyoff

Why do developers see frameworks with thousands of third-party packages and think "wow, lots of people are using this, it must be really great" instead of "wow, this framework needs thousands of extra packages, it must be terrible"?

Lo stato di salute di mastodon
Ieri abbiamo notato la scomparsa di un'altra importante istanza: mastodon.lol e su fedidb.org le statistiche sono terrificanti, da un anno a questa parte sono 2000 i server mastodon spariti, crollati da 12800 a 10.800. Ben 400 chiusi solo nell'ultimo mese!
Mastodon è un ecosistema delicato ed è vitale supportare le istanze per mantenerle in vita, spesso basta poco, controllate la vostra istanza e supportatela!
