SvelteKit 2 now fully supports Vite 8

SvelteKit 3 will require it - giving additional optimizations and functionality. E.g. SvelteKit 3 will use @rolldown.rs hook filters to spend more compilation time in rust and less in JavaScript. And SvelteKit 3 adapters use only rolldown without esbuild

What are the characteristics of an electricity market that make this business model compelling? There are people doing this (or something similar) here in Sweden but it’s hard to tell if it’s already profitable or needs scale/something else from the outside.

"We live in a brakeless era" reminds me of the AA Milne poem The Engineer:
...
> So that's what I make,
When the day's all wet.
It's a good sort of brake
But it hasn't worked yet.

Follow up here: thankful to folks educating in the replies, I’ve learned that the hyperlink text *shown* on Bluesky (similar to Fedi, too) can differ from the target URL and this modal is only shown when they differ.

(for even more nuance: the post I encountered was a truncated link 🫣)

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said.

There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said.

Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change.

"He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

From magic to malware: How OpenClaw's agent skills become an attack surface | 1Password The same capabilities that make OpenClaw a groundbreaking tool also make it an urgent security risk. This blog contains confirmed examples of agent skills being used as malware vectors, and advice on ...

"If you are experimenting with OpenClaw, do not do it on a company device. Full stop."

Success message and celebration reaction for sveltekit passing vite-ecosystem-ci with vite-8 beta for the first time

Success message and celebration reaction for sveltekit passing vite-ecosystem-ci with vite-8 beta for the first time

It took a while, lots of debugging and fixes in rolldown, vite-plugin-svelte and sveltekit, but today it happened. For the first time, sveltekit tests in vite-ecosystem-ci for vite-8 beta passed.

Thanks to everyone who helped getting there especially @sapphi.red

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

I'm biased (as an American in Sweden) but I don't think it's cowardly. And adventure is good. Also, I have found it very easy to lean more into online communities and hope you find a good offline group there, if you haven't already. I need to work harder on that.

The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

This is a must-read piece by Casey Michel on the underlying reasons for the Greenland nonsense and it should be getting more attention newrepublic.com/article/2051...

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all
