We're launching a GoFundMe to cover legal fees to #FreeJavaScript trademark from Oracle.

We need to raise $200k to make full use of the discovery phase in the trademark cancelation petition. This is a critical step in protecting the JavaScript name for the whole community.

We need your help to continue our fight over Oracle's claim to the JavaScript trademark. Here's where we are now and what you can do to help.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

CSS @​​function + CSS if() = 🤯

I combined them to build a custom --light-dark() that behaves just like the built-in light-dark() but that is not limited to only values.

I really, truly, desperately want to like @obsidian.md but I just can’t.

There’s almost too much freedom to customize it. The plain UX of @notion.com is unbeatable. It’s default opinions are nice. That’s all I want.

Calling it now, Deno’s Rust FFI is THE killer feature long-term.

The potential of embedding rust libs like LightningCSS, Rolldown, or Rapier directly in the runtime is unmatched.

Genuinely astounding to me that in the year 2025 setting up a webserver + domain name is still a ~4hr “configure and pray” process

I’m so consistently amazed by the quality of @deno.land.

Not only are my projects drastically simpler, they’re also higher quality! Deno API’s are a great case study of well-written JavaScript code.
