While probably pretty hard or near impossible it would be neat to somehow weigh contributions against browser share / revenue / team size or such to see if some of the browser (especially the smaller ones) may contribute disproportionately large for their size

Yeah, copilot for sure must have better system instructions for pure coding, so makes sense

Which other OSS projects are struck and is it certain that its LLM:s and not other competition that hurts them?

Also:
TIL that the tailwinds docs are not open source. It is the first time I see a popular OSS project with this kind of non-license approach for their docs. Are there other examples out there? Maybe I missed them too assuming that docs followed the same license as their code.

This is how a country show contempt for everyone else and isolates itself.

As the God loving Christian that Trump is claimed to be, he should know:

”pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall”

It’s not enough to keep wishing ”God bless America”, need to act to deserve it.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.

"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

"I don't need international law."

Trick question: The tests can be the documentation?

I really want to try something like deepwiki.com for onboarding to private repos some time – getting flowcharts etc can really make it easier to get an overview and a basic grasp of things

Also: Postgres with JSONB columns are often better than the schema-less databases even at being schema-less, and then one can use actual DB schemas for everything that doesn’t actually have to be schema less

The one and only API Reference nowadays is of course to guilt trip an AI. Yep, that must be what they meant. Totally. 100%. Not even joking. But joking.

And judging by this post it is almost exactly 9 years ago that WebMentions became a W3C recommendation:
🎉 Eight years ago today, the #IndieWeb Webmention protocol was published as a W3C REC https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/

As a social web building block, #Webmention was designed to work with various other building blocks. Small pieces, loosely joined. Every year developers find new ways to […]

(Mainly because there’s some incompatibility with newer Node.js versions that required a larger refactoring and as such stops me from fixing bugs until I have had time to do that, and paradoxically freelancing did not give that)

Yikes, apparently its almost spot on 12 years since I launched my #webmention endpoint, but unlike @snarfed.org’s Bridgy mine has at all been as well maintained.

*checks latest release*

Last release was 6 years ago, so, um, half its time alive has gone since I last pushed an update.

Trump wants to add Greenland and Canada to the US so it’s evident that US states can come and go
January 8, 2026 at 7:20 PM
Yeah, 100%, such questions should be asked a lot more.

I eg would also love to hear how California and its citizens and companies (like Apple and Google) can accept financing a lunatic president like Trump and when they will decide that California can no longer with good conscience stay part of USA

Didn’t Musk also sue Apple since Apple didn’t promote Grok enough according to him? Maybe they are reluctant to do (or even prohibited from doing) anything until that litigation has been concluded?

If there are any tech journalists with credibility, they could prove it by asking Apple and Google if nonconsensual fake porn imagery is allowed in the apps in their stores. And if not, ask why the X app is still there.
