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.

A great start would be retaliating immediately with a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.

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)

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!

Working on a React project? If you’ve migrated to TypeScript, check your dependencies - many projects still include the prop-types package even though it’s no longer used. Cleaning up unused dependencies keeps your app lean and easier to maintain #webperf #e18e

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? 👉 @e18e.dev

If you work with npm projects this is definitely worth checking out: knip.dev “Knip finds and fixes unused files, exports and dependencies” #webperf #e18e

Upgrading Docker containers to Node 22 at work. Hoping to see some performance improvements from Node 20. Am I going to be disappointed? 😬 #webperf
