It's nice that they're improving. But I'm not going to recommend any of this to developers until *the data* comes back green.
And that isn't about a stovepiped "isn't our thing slightly better than it was last year?!" comparison, it's a "does this work well for teams in general?" sort of view.
And there's a decade of busted sites and broken promises trailing behind React and Vercel that mean the only acceptable form of that data is from a third party.

Yes, we *all* have a long way to go, and yes, we need to celebrate progress. But that doesn't mean we have to pretend that picking Vercel's products aren't a business-limiting thing to do.

The success of the infosec industry can be measured by the number of urgent op-eds published in the wake of the Jia Tan incident, all calling for a radical rethink of how we build and use open-source code.
I'm sure the radical rethinking is all done by now

Interesting to see folks from Vercel reacting to my post[1] with "I don't think there's anything I could say that would make them change their mind about Next.js 🤷",* when the specific thing I highlight that should *absolutely* change minds is comparative data*.

- A chart I derived from the 2024 Web Almanac data showing CWV pass rates before and after the INP rollout. In general, tools with lighter default payloads (Astro, Rails) started better and (importantly) were less likely to regress as a result of INP's introduction. Or put another way, React-burdened stacks (Next.js, Next.js w/ App Router, and Gatsby) started with less than 50% pass rates and regressed the most when fairer, more representative metrics were added.

In December 2021 I set myself a goal: Add a year-in-review feature to #Mastodon before the next December. It's December 2024 and it's finally, slowly rolling out. It's not all that it was meant to be, because we couldn't prioritize it over all the other things we work on, but I didn't want to miss another year.

Now that it's no longer possible to rank in web searches, unless you're a content farm or a major publisher, it's a good time to ditch SEO, drop keywords, use descriptive headlines instead of catchy or clickbait ones, and write for humans. SEO won't help anyway, so let's help the readers who care.

Every Monday has been Cyber Monday since at least the first time two people used technology outside their natural bodies to communicate. Although it wasn't known as such until we also discovered Mondays.
Mastodon FeedWe believe the internet should be a place where everyone feels safe, respected and empowered to connect.
That’s why this #GivingTuesday we’re launching a campaign to fund a vital new role at #Mastodon:
✨ Trust & Safety Lead ✨
With the recent US elections and many changes to come, protecting our community has never been more important.
We officially kick off on *Tue, Dec 3rd* but if you’d like, you can make an impact today. Thank you for your support!

- Google search for "can rats eat single mode fiber". Featured snippet reads: Rodents can have a little optical fiber, and most will go crazy to get their paws on the delicious smelling polyethelyne jackets. However, it should be kept as an occasional treat only, as too much could cause weight gain. Your rat should be just fine with a couple of cores of single-mode fiber as a treat. (remote)
Mastodon FeedSafari "Web Apps" broke middle-click.
I use "Save to Dock" to create app-like web views for some heavily-used sites. It's great. But as of a week ago or so, Cmd-click now opens in the current window instead of in a new window. This is intolerable. Is there any way to fix it?
It's definitely a problem with the web-app view itself, not with the underlying web site's JS.
